Bedrock Edition distance effects

See also: Java Edition distance effects

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. 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. 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.
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.
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. 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. 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. 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)

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.

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

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 such 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=-40‌ or 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 flat or invisible.
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 under normal conditions (the minimum speed possible from here is 10 blocks per second), 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. 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 horses. 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. caves in caves and cliffs sometimes generate with perfect curves or horizontal halls.

• 

  Stonecutters blade duplicates on the edge after X/Z ±8,388,608

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

Here, the rendering fundamentally break down to the point greatly where normal gameplay is completely impossible.

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 only method of transportation possible is by sprint flying, elytra or by teleportation (an invisible barrier exists here). 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. 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; blocks are rendered as one-dimensional, and are therefore impossible to see. Water becomes completely non-solid. To move, the player must glide with elytra at a downward angle of approximately 45 degrees, or use Riptide. Note that because the player is not considered to be "in water", Riptide can be activated only by rain. Tridents Arrows shot from bows or crossbows and ender dragons are the only other entities that can move horizontally beyond this point. It is therefore impossible to teleport using ender pearls.
X/Z ±67,108,864 (226)*	The only form of movement possible is with Riptide II or higher. It is also possible to teleport using chorus fruit. 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. Riptide II can no longer move the player horizontally, and Riptide III works only if the player looks directly along an axis. However, it is still possible to teleport using chorus fruit.
X/Z ±268,435,456 (228)	It is impossible for any entity to move horizontally, without modifying the player's flying speed, or the player position is controlled by 64-bit doubles. Teleportation using chorus fruit is impossible. 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. A large "cone shape" in front of the player disappears from view. This cone is oriented along the X or Z axis, rather than the direction the player is facing. It is always composed of 16×16×16 cubes (essentially sections of chunks). 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.
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 "cone" in front of the player widens. The world is completely invisible with a render distance of 16 chunks or less (unless the player position is controlled by 64-bit doubles), despite the fact that the gaps are only 8 chunks wide. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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. 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=256, 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 ±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 will appear 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 ±2,147,483,647	The game crashes near these coordinates on 32-bit devices.
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.

History

Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.10.0Tropical fish also have assigned names that can be seen after capture. In Java Edition, the smaller text under the item name is displayed showing the fish name, similar to the text that displays enchantments under enchanted items. In Bedrock Edition, the item name is displayed showing "Bucket of <fish name>". Their colors are mostly named according to the colored block names, though with a few exceptions: White Silver Gray Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Lime Green Teal Sky Blue Plum Magenta Rose The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish: Flopper Glitter Betty Stripey Blockfish Clayfish Kob Snooper Brinely SunStreak Dasher Spotty Some tropical fish don't follow the normal naming system, and instead, reference real-life fish species. Apart from these names, these types of fish aren't different from regular tropical fish in terms of design or behavior. These varieties are: Name Type Anemone Orange-Gray Stripey Black Tang Gray Flopper Blue Dory ‌ Gray-Sky SunStreak Blue Tang ‌ Gray-Blue Flopper Butterfly Fish ‌/Butterflyfish ‌ White-Gray Clayfish Cichlid Blue-Gray SunStreak Clownfish Orange-White Kob Cotton Candy Betta Rose-Sky Spotty Dottyback Plum-Yellow Blockfish Emperor Red Snapper White-Red Clayfish Goatfish White-Yellow Spotty Moorish Idol White-Gray Glitter Ornate Butterfly ‌/Ornate Butterflyfish ‌ White-Orange Clayfish Parrotfish Teal-Rose Dasher Queen Angel Fish ‌/Queen Angelfish ‌ Lime-Sky Brinely Red Cichlid Red-White Betty Red Lipped Blenny Gray-Red Snooper Red Snapper Red-White Blockfish Threadfin White-Yellow Flopper Tomato Clown ‌ Red-White SunStreak Tomato Clownfish ‌ Red-White Kob Triggerfish Gray-White SunStreak Yellowtail Parrot ‌/Yellowtail Parrotfish ‌ Teal-Yellow Dasher Yellow Tang Yellow Flopper		build 1			Chunk jittering at extreme coordinates no longer occurs.

'''Bamboo rafts''' look different, but function almost identically to other boats. == Obtaining == Boats can be crafted with any Overworld planks; crimson and warped planks cannot be used to make boats.<ref>{{bug|MC-170868|||Invalid}}</ref> Boats can be retrieved by repeatedly hitting them until they drop as an item. [[Tool]]s and [[weapon]]s that deal more than {{Health|4}} damage will instantly destroy a boat in one hit.{{only|Java}} === Crafting === {{Crafting |head=1 |showname=0 |A2= Matching Overworld Planks |C2= Matching Overworld Planks |A3= Matching Overworld Planks |B3= Matching Overworld Planks |C3= Matching Overworld Planks |Output= Matching Boat |type= Transportation |foot=1 }} == Usage == Boats can be used for the transportation of [[player]]s and [[mob]]s, sold for emeralds, or [[Smelting|burnt]] as fuel. === Crafting === {{Crafting usage|match=end|Boat, Bamboo Raft}} === Trading === Master-level fisherman [[villager]]s always offer to buy a boat for an [[emerald]]. The type of boat depends on the biome outfit type of the villager; [[plains]] villagers offer to buy oak boats, [[taiga]] and [[Snowy Tundra|snowy]] villagers offer to buy spruce boats, [[savanna]] villagers offer to buy acacia boats, [[desert]] and [[jungle]] villagers offer to buy jungle boats, and [[swamp]] villagers offer to buy dark oak boats. === Fuel === A boat used as fuel in a [[furnace]] lasts 60 seconds, smelting up to 6 items. === Transportation === {{see also|Transportation|Riding}} ==== Entering ==== A player enters a boat by {{control|using}} it, if the boat is not fully occupied (boats can hold two entities). Unlike [[bed]]s, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied boat.<ref>{{bug|MC-161251}} - resolved as “Works as Intended”</ref> ==== Exiting ==== A boat can be exited by {{control|sneaking}} or, {{in|BE}}, pressing down the right analog stick on a controller, tapping the "Leave Boat" button when using touch controls, or {{control|jumping}}. When exiting a boat, the player is placed in the direction the player is facing, or, if facing directly up or down, the player is placed in front of the boat. The exiting player is placed on land if possible from the dismounting position. ==== Motion ==== Boats do not turn with mouse-look. With a keyboard or gamepad, boats are controlled using the {{control|forward}}, {{control|left}} (turns left), {{control|right}} (turns right), and {{control|backward}} keys. Using the {{control|sprint}} key increases the field of vision, but does not increase speed as if [[sprinting]]. With touchscreen controls, two buttons for steering appear. The right button or key steers to the left, and the left button or key steers to the right. Pressing both buttons or keys moves the boat forward. {{IN|Java}}, boats can be ridden against a current, but cannot be ridden upstream to a higher elevation. A boat lift, usually made from tripwire, pistons, and optionally a slime block, can be used to move a boat up. Bubble columns created with soul sand can also be used to push boats upward. These mechanisms can also be used {{in|bedrock}} but are usually unnecessary because boats can be ridden upward in descending water, as well as [[Tutorials/Water-powered boat transportation|follow upward stair-step currents]]. == Behavior == === Speed === Boats move according to the player's control or water currents, with speed affected by the surface traversed. Boats move extremely quickly on ice,<ref name="MC-97803">{{bug|MC-97803||Boats going faster on ice than in water|WAI}}</ref> allowing for the construction of fast transportation systems in any dimension. {| class="wikitable" |+ !Substance !Speed |- |[[Water]] |8.0 blocks/s |- |[[Ice]], [[Frosted Ice]], [[Packed Ice]] |40 blocks/s |- |[[Blue Ice]] |72.7 blocks/s |- |Land |2.0 blocks/s |} === Floatation === [[File:Oak Boat shake.gif|thumb|right|The animation of an oak boat when atop a [[Bubble Column|bubble column]].]] A boat floats atop still or flowing water. {{IN|java}}, a boat sinks if it enters a waterfall.<ref>{{bug|MC-91206|||WAI}}</ref> {{IN|bedrock}}, a boat does not sink when submerged but floats up. This feature lets a player contrive stepped uphill water flows to [[Tutorials/Water-powered boat transportation#Floating uphill|propel a boat uphill]] using only flowing water. When a boat moves over a bubble column, it begins to shake. If the bubbles are caused by a [[Magma Block|magma block]], all passengers are expelled and the boat sinks. {{IN|java}}, a sunken boat cannot be re-floated until a bubble column pushes it up or it is broken by the player. {{IN|bedrock}}, a boat resumes floating when it emerges from the currents keeping it down, or when the bubble column is blocked or removed. [[Dolphin]]s chase players riding a boat in motion, occasionally bumping the boat, causing it to shake briefly. === Destruction === As boats are [[Entity|entities]], they have [[health]]. Boats effectively have just over {{hp|4}} (exactly 4 damage is not quite enough to destroy a boat), and regenerate {{frac|1|10}} per game tick. Boats can be destroyed by explosions, fire and lava (but not magma blocks), cactus, and by being punched by mobs, such as [[Drowned]]. Boats made invulnerable with commands cannot be broken by any of these, but they still cannot be used to travel on lava because they sink. When a boat is destroyed under normal conditions, it drops itself in item form. In certain conditions, such as when falling for exactly 12, 13, 49, 51, 111, 114, 198, 202, 310, or 315 blocks,<ref name="MC-119369">{{bug|MC-119369}}</ref> it drops two [[stick]]s and three [[planks]] upon being destroyed. === Passengers === [[File:Multiple mobs in 2 boats.png|alt=|thumb|Multiple mobs in 2 types of boats.]] Boats can support two riders, including [[mob]]s. Except for [[Enderman|endermen]] {{in|bedrock}}, a mob cannot exit a boat and is trapped until the boat gets destroyed, or until the player uses a [[Fishing Rod|fishing rod]] or [[lead]] to remove the mob. This can be used to transport mobs, although hostile mobs still attack while in boats. Mobs riding a boat don't despawn{{only|java}} and don't count toward the mob cap.<ref>{{bug|MC-182897|resolution=WAI}}</ref> A player cannot both move (row) and use items at the same time. It is still possible to initialize item use (e.g. start eating) and row the boat while the item is still in the middle of the use animation. Although the rowing animation overrides the item use animation, the item can still be successfully consumed. This does not work with items that are triggered by the ''release'' of the use button (such as [[Bow|bows]] and [[Trident|tridents]]).{{only|Java}} Being in a boat limits the player's mouse-look to the forward 210° arc {{in|java}} and 180° {{in|bedrock}}. Underwater boat cannot be ridden. When the boat is underwater, all passengers in it are expelled. === Damage prevention === Riding a boat does not deplete [[hunger]], making it an efficient way to travel. Boats can completely nullify [[fall damage]] for themselves and any players/mobs inside, making them useful for travel through mountains or through the Nether.<ref>{{bug|MC-105103|resolution=WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-149490|resolution=WAI}}</ref> However {{in|java}}, due to a bug, boats can break when falling from certain heights, and the riders take fall damage.<ref name="MC-119369"></ref> === Collision === A boat has a solid collision box, which means players and other entities can't go through it even with high speed. Falling blocks are also blocked by boats. {{IN|java}}, a boat falling on top of an entity stops on top of the entity. {{In|bedrock}}, a falling boat can go through other entities. Riding a boat over a [[Lily Pad|lily pad]] causes the lily pad to drop, although the boat's speed stutters a bit. === Mobs === Most mobs can ride boats. Mobs cannot exit the boat unless the boat is destroyed, sinks, or moves over a bubble column. However, {{in|bedrock}}, [[endermen]] are able to teleport out of boats. Mobs can be picked up into the boat when they collide with the side of the boat. A mob cannot control the boat. {{IN|java}}, a boat being ridden by a player cannot pick up a mob. {{IN|bedrock}}, mobs can be picked up by a boat being ridden by a player. Mobs wider than the width of a boat cannot be picked up by a boat. [[Warden]]s, and [[wither]]s cannot be picked up by a boat. {{IN|java}}, baby [[sniffer]]s cannot be picked up either. === Lead === {{IN|java}}, leads cannot be attached to boats. {{IN|bedrock}}, leads can be attached to boats, though the lead can break when stretched too far due to boats moving much slower on land. == Sounds == {{Edition|Java}}:<br> Boats use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events. {{Sound table |sound=Boat paddle land1.ogg |sound2=Boat paddle land2.ogg |sound3=Boat paddle land3.ogg |sound4=Boat paddle land4.ogg |sound5=Boat paddle

Most blocked projectiles that carry status effects (such as [[Shulker#Shulker bullet|shulker bullets]]{{only|java|short=1}}, flaming [[arrow]]s, or tipped arrows) do not affect the blocker. [[Trident]]s & arrows can be deflected into other targets. Knockback from melee attacks and projectiles is prevented, while knockback from [[explosion]]s, [[hoglin]], and [[ravager]] attacks are significantly reduced. The shield directionally blocks all attacks coming from within the FOV of the direction the wielder is facing, providing a full hemisphere of coverage to them.
