Reason: Organize this page more like Java Edition distance effects - should allow a lot more in-depth analysis of each effect
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 16777216 and 33554432, 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).
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. 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 ±256 (28) | 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. However, this would require nearly 6 real-life days of nonstop gameplay (where one must start over if they exit the game).[verify] |
| X/Z ±512 (29) | The slowest method of movement in Survival without standing against a solid block (sneaking while under the effect of Slowness VI [achievable by using the potion of the Turtle Master II] and using an item on blue ice with cobwebs) becomes impossible.[needs in-game testing] |
| X/Z ±1,024 (210) | The slowest method is now impossible.[needs in-game testing]
Coordinates of all entities are slices of 8,192. |

|
| X/Z ±32,768 (215) |
|
| 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.

Major effects (X/Z ±1,048,576–16,777,215)
- Leads
- Cave generation
- Raycasting, which seems to result in incorrect blocks being targeted.
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.

Stripe Lands
The "Stripe Lands" at X/Z 16,777,216.
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][8] The Stripe Lands starts 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=255, 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.

The '''nether star''' is a rare item [[drops|dropped]] by the [[wither]] that is used solely to [[Crafting|craft]] [[beacon]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the [[wither]] [[Mob#Boss mobs|boss]], which is created using [[soul sand]] and [[Head|wither skeleton skulls]]. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [[Looting]] enchantment. {{IN|java}}, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions. {{IN|bedrock}}, nether star items never despawn, neither by time nor by explosions.
== Usage ==
The nether star has the same animated glint as [[enchanted]] items, [[potion]]s, and [[end crystal]]s.
A dropped nether star item cannot be destroyed by [[explosion]]s. However, it can still be destroyed by a falling [[anvil]],{{only|java}} [[fire]], [[lava]], [[cacti]], or [[the Void]].
It is used to [[Crafting|craft]] a [[beacon]].

{{Item
| image = Bone.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}}
A '''bone''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained from [[skeleton]]s and similar mobs. It can be crafted into [[Bone Meal|bone meal]] or used to tame wild [[Wolf|wolves]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|bone}}
=== Mob loot ===
Skeletons, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, and [[stray]]s may drop 0–2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 bones with Looting III.
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]] have 25% chance to drop 1-2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 2-8 bones with Looting III.
Salmon (small and medium size) have 25% chance to drop 1 bone upon death, The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2-7 bones with Looting III. The chance of dropping bones increases by 1% per looting level, so with Looting III there is up to a 28% chance of bones dropping.
=== Fishing ===
Bones can also be obtained by [[fishing]] as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.
== Usage ==
=== Helmet ===
[[File:Steve wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
[[File:Alex wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
While a bone cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear in the player's mouth.
=== Taming ===
Using a bone on a wild [[wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[taming]] it. Bones cannot tame a hostile wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed. However, bones can be used to attract the attention of the tamed ones.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
A bone can be crafted into 3 bone meal.
