Reason: Organize this page more like Java Edition distance effects - should allow a lot more in-depth analysis of each effect

This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition.

As the player travels far from the world origin in Bedrock Edition, the world starts to behave abnormally. This is mostly caused by precision loss of the 32-bit floating point numbers used for location, which dedicates only 23 bits to the fraction; thus, for any position between n and 2n, where n is a power of 2, the precision error makes the world (including blocks and entities) offset by ⁿ⁄_8388608 blocks, or ⁿ⁄₅₂₄₂₈₈ block pixels (e.g. at between X/Z ±16,777,216 and X/Z ±33,554,432, coordinates of all entities are multiples of 2, and only blocks at these coordinates can be rendered; blocks not at these values visually snap to them).

Note: Effects marked with an asterisk (*) are well-known effects.

Minor effects (X/Z ±1–131,071)

Bedrock Edition uses 32-bit floating points for many of its calculations, such as the player's position, as opposed to Java Edition, which uses 64-bit floating points. When the player moves, the player changes position each tick, and this change is affected by floating point precision errors. At slow speeds/high coordinates, this change in position is considered negligible, meaning that the player does not move at all. The amount of precision error doubles at every power of 2.

Note that while the positions of the centers of entities are stored in NBT, the positions of the hitbox corners are stored in memory. If the player is crossing a power of 2, these corners may move at different speeds, thus changing the hitbox size. The hitbox size resets to 0.6 in certain situations, such as reloading the world, using the /tp command, and others.^{[more information needed]} However, the player can shrink to size 0, making it possible to fall through the edges of blocks and into the void (MCPE-39299).

There are several ways to slow the player’s movement, such as sneaking, status effects, using an item (e.g. drawing back a bow), or certain blocks (such as cobwebs). In addition, moving diagonally decreases the player’s speed on any given axis. Moving with a solid block in front at slight diagonal causes the player to move sideways as slow as the player’s coordinates allow.


Coordinates	Effects
X/Z ±1 (2⁰)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 8,388,608. Lowest coordinates at which someone can theoretically fall through the world within around 5 to 7 real-life days of nonstop gameplay (where one must start over if they exit the game). However, It is almost impossible to do at these coordinates.
X/Z ±2 (2¹)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 4,194,304.
X/Z ±4 (2²)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 2,097,152.
X/Z ±8 (2³)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 1,048,576.
X/Z ±16 (2⁴)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 524,288.
X/Z ±32 (2⁵)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 262,144.
X/Z ±64 (2⁶)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 131,072.
X/Z ±128 (2⁷)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 65,536.
X/Z ±256 (2⁸)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 32,768. Lowest coordinates at which anyone has fallen through the world, although incredibly unlikely at this distance. Since the glitch is caused by hitbox corners affected by different levels of floating point precision errors, it could theoretically happen at X/Z ±1 (see above). The slowest method is impossible.
X/Z ±512 (2⁹)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 16,384.
X/Z ±1,024 (2¹⁰)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 8,192.
X/Z ±2,048 (2¹¹)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 4,096.
X/Z ±4,096 (2¹²)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 2,048.
X/Z ±8,192 (2¹³)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 1,024.
X/Z ±16,384 (2¹⁴)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 512. Minor jitter can be first experienced at this point, noticeable if the player walks slowly.
X/Z ±32,768 (2¹⁵)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 256. It becomes impossible to sneak diagonally on top of soul sand with cobwebs while drawing back a bow.^[1]
X/Z ±65,536 (2¹⁶)	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 128.

Medium effects (X/Z ±131,072–1,048,575)

Eventually, some common forms of movement begin to glitch. In addition, blocks with detailed models begin to render incorrectly.


Coordinates	Effects
X/Z ±131,072 (2¹⁷)*	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 64. Climbing up ladders, vines, twisting vines, and weeping vines while sneaking is slightly slower than normal if climbing by walking against a block.^[2] Sneaking diagonally starts to become bumpy. Lecterns and tripwire hooks start to become distorted. When the player stops walking, they are bumped.
X/Z ±262,144 (2¹⁸)*	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 32. Climbing up ladders and vines while sneaking is even slower and less smooth.^[2] Moving in powder snow while sneaking becomes impossible if the player waits for too long. Sea pickles render with slightly thinner stems than normal. Tripwire string becomes invisible. Sweet berry bushes and cobwebs appear slightly larger. Sunflowers become glitched and are Z-fighting on the X-axis. They don’t become glitched on the Z-axis.^[3] Sneaking in soul sand with a spyglass stops movement. Sneaking in all directions is more bumpy.
X/Z ±524,288 (2¹⁹)*	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 16. All entities are on the edges of block pixels. Paintings are placed halfway inside the block, allowing multiple paintings to be placed on the same block. The inner part of item frames render flush along the block. Moving horizontally while on cobwebs becomes impossible. Moving in powder snow becomes entirely impossible while sneaking. Jitter is noticeable beyond this point. Many mobs are unable to jump on blocks correctly, probability because due to entites being on the edge of block pixels and the mobs are not fast enough to get through the block. Sea turtles and axolotls can no longer move on land. The top part of candles renders incorrectly. Running on soul sand becomes noticeably bumpy. It's impossible to sneak outside the X/Z axis on soul sand without soul speed boots.

Major effects (X/Z ±1,048,576–16,777,215)

This section is missing information about the following features and effects:

Leads
Cave generation
Raycasting, which seems to result in incorrect blocks being targeted.

Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

Blocks are rendered based on their corners, whose coordinates are 32-bit floating point numbers. Generally, these are multiples of ¹⁄₁₆. Thus, most blocks render normally as long the floating points are precise to the nearest sixteenth. This breaks at X/Z ±1,048,576 (2²⁰), and blocks continue to render incorrectly as the coordinates go even farther out.^[4]

In the RTX betas, the lighting is unaffected by floating-point precision errors, although block shapes themselves are incorrect.^[5]

Besides, many "normal" forms of movement become impossible.

The different types of block model deformation have changed a lot over the years, although the update specifics and hardware requirements are unknown. Previously, blocks such as flowers and grass would appear completely 2D beyond 8,388,608 blocks, whereas they appeared as almost normal X shapes in more recent versions, but appearing as 2D again as of 1.16.220. Also, sunflower heads could previously distort to become square, which also no longer happens; the flower appears detached from the plant instead.

In addition here, the terrain starts to break down following the table.


Coordinates	Effects
X/Z ±1,048,576 (2²⁰)*	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 8. Walls render wider than normal. Fences (excluding the posts) and closed fence gates render completely flat. Doors and open trapdoors render thinner than normal. Iron bars and glass panes render twice as wide than normal. Climbing up ladders and vines is impossible without holding the jump button, and climbing up them while sneaking is extremely slow. It becomes impossible to sneak outside the X/Z axis. Moving in powder snow becomes impossible if you wait too long, though rapidly inputting sprint allows you to escape. The cube inside slime blocks is slightly wider. The cube inside honey blocks is stretched to a full block, which results in a flickering effect. Cakes appear stretched to full block. Fire renders a bit differently. Sea pickles render in slightly different places without stems. Lanterns render wider than usual and without the top part. The logs in campfires render farther apart, overlapping with each other. In brewing stands, the base renders incorrectly and the central pole is invisible. The bases of anvils render incorrectly. The supports of grindstones render incorrectly. The sides of item frames render wider than the top and bottom. Flower pots appear slightly wider. The inside of beacons render incorrectly. The supports of bells render incorrectly. Horizontal end rods render flat, while vertical end rods render only with their bases. The shafts of lightning rods render as flat. Redstone renders slightly differently. Torches become invisible. Buttons placed anywhere other than the sides of blocks are distorted and pushed buttons are pushed all the way into the block. Pressure plates cover an entire block. Redstone repeaters and redstone comparators render without torches. Cocoa beans in the second stage render as wide as mature cocoa beans. Cacti render as full blocks, with gaps at the edges. Bamboo renders wider than normal, flat, or invisible. The dragon egg appears to be more blocky. Turtle eggs are distorted. The small bumps on chorus plant stems disappear. The barrier at Y=-104 stops generating. Walking is as fast as running speed. leads start appearing as a zigzag.
X/Z ±2,097,152 (2²¹)*	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 4. Moving while sneaking becomes impossible. Walking appears bumpy. Dropped items fall through the edges of blocks. Dropped items that land on the edges of lava bounce off without burning; this effect continues into the Stripe Lands. Fence posts are invisible. Open fence gates are completely flat. Lightning rods render entirely flat. Doors and trapdoors render wider than normal. Iron bars and glass panes render completely flat. The supports of scaffolding are invisible. Cauldrons and composters have completely flat walls and whatever is inside them are stretched to fit the top. Flowers begin to distort. The bottom part of hoppers are invisible. Lecterns are wider more than a block. Nether portal blocks are completely flat. Flowers, sweet berry bushes, cobwebs, and tall grass are much smaller than normal. Hanging roots render thinner than normal. All four stages of amethyst buds render thinner than normal. The first stage of cocoa beans is flat. Chorus flowers render as full blocks. The top part of the Dragon egg is invisible. The big bumps on chorus plant stems are sightly bigger.
X/Z ±4,194,304 (2²²)*	Coordinates of all entities are slices of 2. It becomes extremely difficult to traverse the world on foot from here. Players need to use ender pearls, chorus fruit, elytra with fireworks or a Riptide trident (if raining or underwater), horseback, boats, or any method that would be at least five blocks per second normally, meaning moving in normal walking speed is impossible. One can travel on foot past 4,194,304 by jumping one time and sprinting. One cannot jump normally. The Jump Boost effect does not work. Stairs and slabs or blocks less than 0.5 blocks tall are work past this point. Entities less than 0.5 blocks wide (such as items and silverfish) fall through the edges of blocks, but can still stand on the centers. This is likely because the hitbox corners on both sides round to the same coordinates, resulting in a "null" hitbox; however, it is not confirmed.^[verify] Status effect particles snap to the center of the player, causing them to bunch around the center of the screen. All stages of amethyst buds are stretched to a full block. The stems of both big dripleaves and small dripleaves become two-dimensional. Eyes of ender placed inside end portal blocks are stretched to cover the entire block. Piston bases are stretched to full block. If retracted, the front "flickers" between the head and base textures. Crops, hanging roots, and seagrass render on the edges of blocks. The second stage of cocoa beans is flat just like the first stage. The third stage of cocoa beans appears stretched as a full block. When the player is in Powder snow the screen sometimes flickers fighting trying to see if the player is inside or outside of Powder snow even with leather armor on. The second highest top part of the Dragon egg is invisible including the highest part.
X/Z ±8,388,608 (2²³)*	Coordinates of all entities are integers, meaning that all entities are on the edges of blocks. As a result, the player, along with other entities less than 1 block wide, always falls through blocks. The only entities that can stand on blocks from this point onward are boats, spiders, horses, iron golems, polar bears, and ravagers. If only one coordinate exceeds this value, blocks still have collision detection from the side. The player can still be considered "under" blocks, meaning that phantoms do not spawn. Thus, it is theoretically possible to travel to and from the Stripe Lands in survival using above-average in speed horses. The minimum movement speed is increased to ten blocks per second, meaning that sprinting, boats (except in frozen oceans), horses (except for the faster ones mentioned above), and swimming are no longer usable sources of movement. To fly in creative the player must sprint or look directly along an axis, unless the player position is controlled by 64-bit doubles instead of 32-bit floats. The Speed effect does not work, due to MCPE-61425. In addition, flying at this coordinate is bumpy, even when the player is sprinting and looking directly along an axis. All blocks that normally render as partial blocks are either stretched to become full blocks, or squished to become 2-dimensional. The exception is a few blocks that render normally no matter how far out the player travels, such as chests and bells. If both coordinates exceed this value, partial blocks that normally render as 2D this far out become 1-dimensional and are therefore completely invisible. The terracotta strata in badlands biomes become noticeably distorted at this point. The blade of a stonecutter duplicates, with each blade appearing on the edge. Spore blossoms are stretched so that the player sees only half of the flower. Entering active end portals becomes impossible. Previously, cross models would render stretched out (changed from rendering 2D as of an unknown update), however as of 1.16.210 they render flat again. The shadow of signs are at the edge of the block the sign is on. The first and second stage of cocoa beans are either pushed into the block or they render as full blocks. The notes that come from jukeboxes and noteblocks are on the edge of the block. Minecarts can no longer run on Powered rails. Chains are streched to a full block. Caves generate differently.

Examples

Fence texture renders flat
Fence gate texture renders flat after X/Z ±2,097,152
Cacti incorrectly render as full blocks, with gaps at the edges
Cauldron & composter have completely flat walls
Fence Post renders invisible in a Pillager Outpost beyond X/Z ±2,097,152
Stonecutters blade duplicates on the edge after X/Z ±8,388,608

Game-breaking effects (X/Z ≥±16,777,216)

This section is missing information about notable effects beyond the 32-bit limit.

Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

Here, the rendering fundamentally break down to the point greatly where normal gameplay is completely impossible. Also the cone that appeared in front of the player at 536,870,912 no longer occurs as of 1.18.


Coordinates	Effects
X/Z ±16,777,216 (2²⁴)*	The floating point precision errors cause only blocks with even coordinates not divisible by 4 to render, and are stretched to 2 blocks wide. This phenomenon is known as the Stripe Lands. In contrast, the Stripe Lands starts at X/Z ±9,007,199,254,740,992 in Java Edition, as the block rendering coordinates use 64-bit doubles instead. Some blocks at other coordinates can render 2-dimensional, but not if they would be rendered on the end of a double-length block. In general, blocks render only if they are "exposed" to air or another see-through block. Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 2. This does not impact the way maps are rendered. If the player manages to set their coordinate to an odd number or move into any area not rendered, they get stuck in a glitched position, unable to move the camera view properly, or move in any direction. 2D blocks are non-solid, even from the sides. However, ghasts, large slimes, and large magma cubes treat both 2D and 3D blocks as solid because they are more than 2 blocks wide. The game does not properly register when the player is in water if the player' coordinates are divisible by 4. As a result, the player falls through water, is unable to enter swimming, and the fog is black or dark blue. However, water still causes the player to exit gliding, and boats still float. The minimum speed is increased to 20 blocks per second, meaning that Creative mode flight and horses are no longer possible to move with, leaving only flight by an elytra (either with firework rockets or a Riptide trident) and teleportation by any means. The terracotta strata in badlands biomes are distorted further and start to form blocky shapes. Because the majority of blocks do not render in the stripe lands, this is noticeable only when viewed on a map.
X/Z ±33,554,432 (2²⁵)*	Horizontal block rendering stops completely, leaving only vertical block rendering in its place, marking the start of the Slice Lands.^{[unofficial name]} Blocks whose sides are not "exposed", such as the naturally-generated water, are completely invisible. At this point, the slices are 4 blocks apart, but the gap widths double for every power of 2. The phenomenon is known as the Stripe Gap Lands Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 4. It is difficult to place blocks from this point onward. The player must look at an existing block and extend it along an axis. The only way to generate blocks (to place on) without external tools is to use structure blocks. Block rendering essentially stops completely in the Corner Slice Lands;^[6] blocks are rendered as one-dimensional, and are therefore impossible to see. Water becomes completely non-solid. The minimum movement speed is increased to 40 blocks per second, meaning ender pearls no longer work. Teleportation is now only possible by chorus fruit because teleportation by commands stops at 30 million blocks. Elytras either require a steep angle or a Riptide trident in rain to propel the player. Tridents, Arrows shot from bows or crossbows and ender dragons are the only other entities that can move horizontally beyond this point, other than the player.
X/Z ±67,108,864 (2²⁶)*	The minimum movement speed is increased to 80 blocks per second, meaning that tridents cannot move horizontally and the use of an elytra requires a Riptide trident. Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 8. The visual gaps are 8 blocks wide, thus marking the beginning of the Slice Gap Lands.
X/Z ±134,217,728 (2²⁷)*	Maximum coordinates where generated structures can generate on mobile devices. However, on Windows, structures continue to generate all the way to the 32-bit integer limit. Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 16, equivalent to one chunk section. The visual gaps are 16 blocks wide, rendering teleportation via chorus fruit impossible. The minimum movement speed is increased to 160 blocks per second, meaning that arrows cannot move horizontally and Riptide starts to become less usable at low levels. More specifically, Riptide I works only if the player looks directly along an axis and does it many times; with Riptide II you don't have to use it as much to propel yourself.
X/Z ±268,435,456 (2²⁸)	The minimum movement speed is increased to 320 blocks per second, meaning that levels of Riptide below level III no longer work, and Riptide III barely works. More specifically, Riptide III works only if the player looks directly along an axis and does it many times. Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 32, equivalent to two chunks section. The visual gaps are 32 blocks wide.
X/Z ±536,870,912 (2²⁹)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 64, equivalent to four chunks section. The visual gaps are 64 blocks wide. Since beta 1.17.30.24, some devices (low and mid-end classes) can no longer survive in this position and frequently crash at this point. If players can successfully go to this coordinate or over, they can survive for few seconds before the game crashes. Therefore, increasing the render distance can crash the game and only high-end devices can survive at this position. The minimum movement speed is increased to 640 blocks per second, meaning that no method of vanilla movement works, even Riptide III and Riptide IV.
X/Z ±1,073,741,824 (2³⁰)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 128, equivalent to eight chunks section. The visual gaps are 128 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 1,280 blocks per second meaning that Riptide levels below X no longer work. The world is completely invisible with a render distance of 7 chunks or less. The phenomenon is called the Invisible Stripe Lands.
X/Y/Z ±2,147,483,647 (2³¹ − 1)*	The game crashes near this point, as this is above the maximum signed binary integer allowed for 32-bit systems, such as C++. Specifically, the game crashes if the player attempts to load a chunk that is within 64 blocks of this limit, so increasing the render distance can crash the game.

X/Z ±2,147,483,648 (2³¹)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 256, equivalent to 16 chunks section. The visual gaps are 256 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 2,560 blocks per second.
X/Z ±4,294,967,296 (2³²)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 512, equivalent to 32 chunks section. The visual gaps are 512 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 5,120 blocks per second.
X/Z ±8,589,934,592 (2³³)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 1,024, equivalent to 64 chunks section. The visual gaps are 1,024 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 10,240 blocks per second.
X/Z ±17,179,869,184 (2³⁴)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 2,048, equivalent to 128 chunks section. The visual gaps are 2,048 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 20,480 blocks per second.
X/Z ±34,359,738,368 (2³⁵)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 4,096, equivalent to 256 chunks section. The visual gaps are 4,096 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 40,960 blocks per second.
X/Z ±68,719,476,736 (2³⁶)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 8,192, equivalent to 512 chunks section. The visual gaps are 8,192 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 81,920 blocks per second.
X/Z ±137,438,953,472 (2³⁷)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 16,384, equivalent to 1,024 chunks section. The visual gaps are 16,384 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 163,840 blocks per second.
X/Z ±274,877,906,944 (2³⁸)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 32,768 equivalent to 2,048 chunks section. The visual gaps are 32,768 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 327,680 blocks per second.
X/Z ±549,755,813,888 (2³⁹)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 65,536, equivalent to 4,096 chunks section. The visual gaps are 65,536 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 655,360 blocks per second.
X/Z ±1,099,511,627,776 (2⁴⁰)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 131,072, equivalent to 8,192 chunks section. The visual gaps are 131,072 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed is increased to 1,310,720 blocks per second.

X/Y/Z ±9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (2⁶³ – 1)	The game crashes near this point while using 64-bit systems, as this is above the maximum signed binary integer allowed for 64-bit systems, such as C++. Also, the game crashes if the player attempts to load a chunk beyond this coordinate, so increasing the render distance can crash the game.^[verify] ^{[more information needed]}
X/Z ±9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (2⁶³)	Coordinates of all entities are multiples of 1,099,511,627,776 (2⁴⁰). The visual gaps are 1,099,511,627,776 blocks wide. The minimum movement speed has reached 10,995,116,277,760 blocks per second by this point.

X/Y/Z ±~3.40282366921e+38 (2¹²⁸)	The maximum 32-bit floating-point integer in Bedrock Edition. Beyond this, it caused the player's coordinates to roll over to read "Infinity" within 32-bit float. It is impossible to go further since this is the physical limit at which the code can render in Bedrock Edition.^[verify] ^{[more information needed]}

Stripe Lands

The Stripe Lands are an artifact of the game's rendering and block hitbox calculation, rather than a quirk relating directly to terrain generation.^[7] The Stripe Lands start at X/Z ±16,777,216, under the same terrain effects as Nothingness and Skygrid. They exist because coordinates are off by up to a full meter, causing the blocks themselves (not just their corners) to appear in the wrong places.

Past X/Z: ±33,554,432 all blocks are rendered as two-dimensional, and the gap between valid blocks doubles to 1 out of four. This gap doubles again at every power of 2 and reaches 128 blocks wide at X/Z: ±1,073,741,824. This is the widest the gaps can be since the game crashes near X/Z: ±2,147,483,648.

Vertical limits

Like the X and Z axes, the game breaks at excessive Y coordinates. Since blocks cannot be placed above Y=320, block rendering glitches do not occur, but other effects do.

Many of these effects would occur at negative coordinates, but there is a barrier at Y=-40. Beyond this entities can move only vertically using the "fall through the world" glitch, or teleporting below Y=-40. Thus the barrier can be avoided by teleporting past X/Z ±8,388,608. Also, all entities, except players in creative, disappear in the void.

Coordinates	Effect
Y ±65,536	Particles begin turning black.
Y ±131,072	Particles start acting bumpy.
Y ±262,144	Floating with levitation I is slower than normal.
Y ±524,288	Floating with levitation I goes back to normal speed. It's possible to notice jumping being sightly less smooth if the player summons a shulker this high and jumps on the shulker.
Y ±1,048,576	Levitation II floating is slightly faster at this point. It's impossible to float with levitation I.
Y ±2,097,152	Floating upward by holding the jump button with elytra and Slow Falling is no longer possible. There is a delay between when the player exits flight mode while having slow falling and when the player actually starts falling.
Y ±4,194,304	Flying upward in Creative is faster than normal. If the player summons a shulker this high and falls on it, after the player lands on the shulker the players hand moves up and down rapidly (only if view bobbing is on). if the player switches to 3rd person during the small jumps, the player appears as if the player was not jumping.
Y ±8,388,608	Status effect particles snap to the head, feet, and center of the player, resulting in a glitched animation assuming the player is in first person. Slow Falling causes the player to be stuck in mid-air. Flying upward in Creative is no longer possible, although the player can still fly downward. There is a delay between when the player exits flight mode and when the player actually starts falling. When the player fly's downward in Creative it's way faster than normal. The shulker is considered as a block wide entity so if the player gets on the shulker, the player appears floating above the shulker even in survival mode.
Y ±16,777,216	The delay described above is even longer. Flying downward in Creative is no longer possible.
Y ±33,554,432	The delay to fall is way longer. It's impossible to fly up with elytra with fireworks.
Y ±67,108,864	The player becomes stuck in mid-air when trying to fall. in 3rd person the player can only look horizontal or vertical.
Y ±268,435,456	Floating with Levitation 255 is completely impossible.
Y ±2,147,483,647	The game crashes near these coordinates on 32-bit devices (see above).

Y ±~3.402824e+38 (2¹²⁸)	The maximum 32-bit floating-point integer in Bedrock Edition. Beyond this, it caused the player's coordinates to roll over to read "Infinity" within 32-bit float. It is impossible to go further since this is the physical limit at which the code can render in Bedrock Edition.^[verify]

'''Feathers''' are items dropped by [[chicken]]s and [[parrot]]s, as well as tamed [[cats]] as morning gifts.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

Adult [[chicken]]s drop 0–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 with Looting III.

[[Parrot]]s drop 1–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–5 with Looting III.

A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding a feather, which always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, causing the fox to drop the feather in favor of the food.

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|feather}}

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a "morning gift", and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a feather.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
<div style='float:right'></div>
While a feather cannot be equipped in the head slot in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear completely upright unlike other items.

A '''bundle''' is an [[item]] that can store up to a stack's worth of mixed [[item]] types within itself in a single [[inventory]] slot. Items that stack to 16 occupy more space within the bundle, and items that do not stack occupy the entire bundle without allowing space for any other items.

== Usage ==
<!--The tooltip does not reflect the current bundle "tooltip"-->
{{FakeImage|style=max-width:250px;

|2=Item stack sizes (top row) and the number of bundle slots they take up (middle row). Sticks stack to 64, so they take up one bundle slot; ender pearls stack to 16, so they take up four; and swords do not stack, so they take up the whole bundle. So, for instance, a bundle may have 32 sticks and 8 ender pearls inside (bottom), which take up a total of {{Tooltip|(32×1)|32 Sticks}}+{{Tooltip|(8×4)|8 Ender Pearls}}=64 bundle slots.
}}
Bundles are used to store different [[item|item type]]s in the same [[inventory]] slot. This does not, however, increase the total capacity of the slot: each bundle has 64 "bundle slots" and each item placed in the bundle takes up these slots similar to how they take up space in a normal inventory slot: items that stack to 64 take up 1 bundle slot, items that stack to 16 (for example, [[egg]]s) take up 4, and items that do not stack (such as tools/weapons/armor) take up the whole bundle, all 64 slots.

Although bundles themselves cannot be stacked, a bundle can be placed inside another (nested): the inner bundle itself uses 4 slots plus the number of slots already occupied by the items in that bundle.<ref>{{bug|MC-203567||Bundles can be placed inside of bundles|WAI}}</ref>  

To place items inside a bundle, either (1) pick up the bundle in the inventory and right-click on the item(s) to be placed inside or (2) pick up the item(s) and right-click on the bundle. When placing bundles inside another bundle, the interface uses the first method: picking up Bundle A and right clicking on Bundle B attempts to store Bundle B inside A.  

Bundles can be {{ctrl|used}} inside the inventory to take out the last item put in. In this way, items are accessible LIFO (last in, first out). When {{ctrl|used}} outside the inventory, it dumps all the items out into the world.

Hovering over the bundle shows its contained items in its inventory slots. The number of bundle slots used is displayed as ''<fullness>''/64 in the tooltip. If the bundle is full, then the empty slots are greyed out with an <span class="invslot">{{SlotSprite|Bundle full}}</span>.

[[Shulker box]]es cannot be placed inside of bundles.

'''Lava''' is a light-emitting [[fluid]] that causes fire [[damage]], mostly found in the [[altitude|lower reaches]] of the [[Overworld]] and [[the Nether]].

== Obtaining ==
Lava blocks do not exist as items (at least {{in|java}}), but can be retrieved with a [[Lava Bucket|bucket]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they may be obtained as an item via glitches (in old versions), add-ons or inventory editing.

Lava may be obtained [[renewable resource|renewably]] from [[cauldron]]s, as [[pointed dripstone]] with a lava source above it can slowly fill a cauldron with lava.

=== Natural generation ===
During world generation, lava replaces [[air]] blocks generated in [[cave]]s and [[canyon]]s between Y=-55 and Y=-63. [[Aquifer]]s are sometimes filled with lava below Y=0. Lava does not replace air blocks inside [[mineshaft]]s, [[monster room]]s, [[amethyst geode]]s, or [[stronghold]]s.

Lava can also occur as lava flows from a single [[spring]] block, pouring down walls into pools. The spring block can be on the side of a cave, ravine, mineshaft, or stone cliff above ground.

Lava also generates as small [[lava lake]]s, which can be found above Y=0 within any [[biome]].

Two blocks of lava can also be found in plains, snowy plains, and desert [[village]] weaponsmith buildings, or one source in savanna village weaponsmith buildings.

Fifteen blocks of lava can be found in the [[end portal]] room of a [[stronghold]]: 3 along each side wall, and 9 below the portal frame.

Lava also generates in [[woodland mansion]]s: two blocks of lava generate in the "blacksmith room", and 25 blocks of lava generate in a secret "lava room".

In [[the Nether]], lava is more common than [[water]] in the [[Overworld]]. [[Terrain features#Lava sea|Seas of lava]] occur, with sea level at y-level 32, about a quarter of the total height of the Nether (as the usable space in the Nether is 128 blocks tall). They can extend down to about y-level 19-22. Lava also randomly appears [[Spring#Hidden lava|in single blocks]] inside [[netherrack]] formations. Lava is also generated as a single source in well rooms in [[nether fortress]]es. There are also large pockets of lava generated under y-19 and can reach all the way down to bedrock level. These pockets are generally over 12 blocks in height and often connect to a large lava lake on y-32; the size of these pockets in 1.18 can range from the size of a singular pre-1.18 ravine to multiple ravines combined.

Lava generates as [[delta]] shapes, which can be found commonly in the [[basalt deltas]] biome. Lava also generates in [[ruined portal]]s and [[bastion remnant]]s.

=== Post-generation ===
Unlike [[Water#Source blocks|water source blocks]], new lava source blocks cannot be created in a space by two or more adjacent source blocks. However {{in|Java}}, if the [[game rule]] {{cd|lavaSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|true}}, new lava source blocks can form in a similar way to water source blocks.

== Usage ==
=== Fuel ===
When used in a [[furnace]], a bucket of lava lasts 1000 seconds (100 items).

=== Burning ===
[[File:Inside Lava.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava.]]
[[File:Under lava fire resistance.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance {{in|java}}.]]

Most [[entity|entities]] take {{hp|4}} damage every half-second while in contact with lava, and are set on [[fire]]. An entity/player in lava will also have its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} set to 300, setting it on fire for 15 seconds. This timer is reset to 300 every tick that the victim spends in lava, so it will only start counting down once the victim leaves the lava. Once the victim does exit the lava source, it will burn for just under 15 seconds, taking fire damage 14 times. This is due to the fact that for the first tick outside of lava, its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} decrease to 299, and entities take fire damage when {{code|remainingFireTicks}} is a multiple of 20 and greater than 0. If the victim touches water or [[rain]] falls on it, the fire is extinguished, but the lava continues to damage them directly.

In addition, a dense [[fog]] effect will be applied for players under lava to obscure vision. This can be slightly mitigated via the [[Fire Resistance]] effect.

An entity/player moving in lava has their horizontal movement speed reduced by 50% and their vertical movement speed reduced by 20%.

{{IN|bedrock}}, a player with the Fire Resistance effect or a total [[Fire Protection]] of 7 or higher does not catch fire. 

[[Vex]]es, [[zoglin]]s, Nether [[mob]]s (excluding [[piglin]]s and [[hoglin]]s), [[Wither|withers]], [[Warden|wardens]], and players or mobs affected by the [[Fire Resistance]] effect are not damaged when touching lava. 

The embers or fireballs that fly out of lava are purely decorative and do not cause fires or damage to entities. When rain falls on lava, the black ember particles appear more frequently.

A player in lava lasts a few seconds before dying:

==== ''Java Edition'' ====
* 2.5 seconds with no armor
* 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments
* 4 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments
* 4.5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments
* 5.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments
* 10.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments
* 11 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments

==== Bedrock Edition====
* 2.5 seconds with no armor
* 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments
* 4.5 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments
* 5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments
* 6.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments
* 12.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments
* 12.5 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments
If the player is wearing armor enchanted with [[Fire Protection]], they can last even longer. With the maximum bonus, the damage is small enough that the natural healing from a full hunger bar can outpace it {{only|JE|short=1}}, so a player could survive indefinitely as long as they have food and their armor holds up (non-netherite armor is damaged by lava). This maximum bonus can be obtained by wearing 2 pieces of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 1 with [[Protection|Protection IV]], or 1 piece of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 3 with [[Protection|Protection IV]].

==== Fire spread ====
Lava can cause fires by turning air blocks to fire blocks.

In order for air above lava to turn to fire, a block adjacent to the air has to be [[Fire#Burning blocks|flammable]], or one of the wood-constructed [[Fire#Non-flammable blocks|non-flammable]] blocks. Since catching fire depends on air blocks, even torches or lava itself can prevent a flammable block from catching fire.  Additionally, not all flammable or wood-constructed blocks can be ignited by lava.

The lava of any depth can start fires this way, whether or not it appears to have a current.

Additional conditions must be met, depending on the edition of Minecraft.

===== Java Edition =====
{{FakeImage|align=right|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|L=lava|w=Oak Planks|p=Orange Stained Glass|s=Light Gray Stained Glass|wwwwwwwww|wwsssssww|wspppppsw|wwspppsww|wwwsLswww|wwwwwwwww}}|Example for JE. The orange area represents areas<br>where air could catch flame if the<br>gray and orange areas contain<br>flammable blocks. The wood<br>is all at a safe distance.
}}

Air block must be in a 3×1×3 area right above the lava or in a 5×1×5 2 blocks above the lava.

Note that an air block in the 5x1x5 area will not catch on fire if the 3x1x3 area is completely filled, even if the latter is filled with flammable blocks.

===== Bedrock Edition =====
The block to be set on fire must be in a 3×3×3 cube centered on a lava block, above which there must be either air or an ignitable block.

=== Flow ===
{{See also|Fluid}}

Lava flows from "source blocks". Most streams or "lava-falls" come from a single source block, but lava lakes (including the "flood lava" in the bottom 10 layers) are composed entirely of source blocks. A source block can be captured only with a [[lava bucket|bucket]].

In the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], lava travels 3 blocks in any horizontal direction from a source block. Lava flows far more slowly than water (1 block every 30 game ticks, or 1.5 seconds), and sourceless lava flows linger for a short time more. In [[the Nether]], lava travels 7 blocks horizontally and spreads 1 block every 10 game ticks, or 2 blocks per second, which is half the speed as water in the Overworld. In all dimensions, lava spreading uses the same mechanic as water: for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. (This can result in lava flows turning toward dropoffs that they cannot reach in the Overworld and the End.)

Flowing lava destroys the following in its path: [[sapling]]s, [[cobweb]], [[tall grass]], [[dead bush]], [[wheat]], [[flower]]s, [[mushroom]]s, [[snow]] on ground (but snow blocks are immune), [[lily pad]]s, [[vines]], [[lever]]s, [[button]]s, all three types of [[torch]]es, [[redstone]], [[redstone repeater|repeaters]], [[end rod]]s, and [[rail]]s. [[Sugar cane]]s hold back lava, but disappear if the sugar cane's water source is destroyed by the lava. Lava also slows down entities, including those that are normally immune to lava damage.

Using redstone wire, a one-block lava flow can be redirected by supplying power to the source block, which causes it to reset the flow toward the now-nearest terrain depression. It cannot, however, be reversed. This re-calculation is made because of the redstone wire when toggled changes the block from redstone (on) to redstone (off). Whenever a block updates on any side of the lava, the lava re-calculates where to flow, but does not cut off its current direction of flow. In Bedrock Edition using the /setblock command can be used to create stationary lava without the use of barriers. 

Flowing lava can push entities.

=== Lava and water ===
{{Main|Fluid#Mixing}}

Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. Lava can also generate basalt when above soul soil and touching blue ice.

=== Light source ===

Lava blocks emit a [[light]] level of 15.

=== Other ===
[[File:LavaDropletsExample.png|thumb|If there is lava flowing above a [[block]], the lava seeps through.]]

Lava above a non-transparent block (does ''not'' include stairs, fences, and slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. These droplets do not do anything other than warn the player that a deluge of lava lies above that block. The particles function identically to their water counterparts, except that they drip slower.

Flowing lava can set off tripwires because it breaks placed string. Lava triggers a tripwire only once.

Any [[item (entity)|item]] dropped into lava is immediately destroyed, except for [[netherite]]-related items. [[Lodestone|Lodestones]], however, can be destroyed by lava despite containing netherite.<ref>{{bug|MC-176618|||WAI}}</ref>

Lava can be placed in an empty [[cauldron]].

If lava is above a non-transparent block supporting [[pointed dripstone]], dripping particles are created on the end. These can fill cauldrons with lava.

== Farming ==
{{main|Tutorials/Lava farming}}
Lava farms can be created by placing a lava source block on top of a solid block and a [[pointed dripstone]] and a [[cauldron]] underneath.

Lava spends most of its time as stationary, rather than 'flowing' – regardless of its level, or whether it contains a current downward or to the side.  When specifically triggered by a block update, lava changes to 'flowing', update its level, then change back to stationary.  Lava springs are generated as flowing, and lava lakes are generated as stationary.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* A player with [[Fire Resistance]] can swim in lava without taking damage, although the swimming speed does not become faster.
* A player cannot sprint-swim in lava.
* An arrow catches fire when shot into flowing lava, but not still lava.
* [[Water]] flows into lava-occupied blocks as though it were empty space, and vice versa.
* Although lava is a fluid, it is not possible to drown in lava. This applies to all mobs. However, it is still possible to suffocate in lava. This applies to almost every mob.{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-17073}}</ref>
* A player sleeping in a bed cannot be damaged by lava.
* If the lava is changed to be transparent via a [[resource pack]], it does not become transparent.
* {{IN|bedrock}}, lava does not deactivate [[elytra]] like [[water]] does.
* Despite flowing identically to water while in [[the Nether]], it was not possible to create an infinite spring of lava before [[Java Edition 1.19.3|1.19.3]].
** Before Lava source conversion was implemented, the ''Minecraft: Combat Handbook'' (2014) stated the possibility to create infinite sources of lava by simply creating a cross shape with 4 nether bricks and placing lava in the middle. As expected, this turned out to be false, as confirmed by [[Nathan Adams|Dinnerbone]].<ref>[[bugtracker:MC-71088|MC-71088]]</ref>
* Geologically, lava in the Overworld is consistent with [[wikipedia:Felsic lava|felsic lava]], and lava in the Nether is consistent with [[wikipedia:mafic lava|mafic lava]]. Felsic lava is slow, sticky, and does not run as far as mafic lava, which is relatively thin and runny.
* When lava source conversion was implemented, any text where lava was supposed to be said "lave" instead.
** A splash text now says "Made with 'lave'".

 Many of these effects would occur at negative coordinates, but there is a barrier at Y=-40. Beyond this entities can move only vertically using the "fall through the world" glitch, or teleporting below Y=-40. Thus the barrier can be avoided by teleporting past X/Z ±8,388,608. Also, all entities, except players in [[creative]], disappear in the void.
