This article is about the mob. For other uses, see Bee (disambiguation).
Bees are neutral mobs that live in bee nests and beehives. If provoked, bees attack in a swarm to sting the player and inflict poison.
Spawning
Natural generation
Naturally generated bee nests generate with 3 bees in them.
Bee nests generate in the following biomes with different chances:
| Biome | Chance[note 1] | |
|---|---|---|
| JE | BE | |
| Plains Sunflower plains |
5% | 5% |
| Flower forest | 2% | 3% |
| Forest Wooded hills Birch forest Tall birch forest Birch forest hills Tall birch hills |
0.2% | 0.035% |
- ↑ The chance for each naturally-generated oak or birch tree to have a bee nest.
Saplings
Oak and birch trees grown from saplings that are within 2 blocks of any flower have a 5% chance to grow with bee nest and 1–3 bees in it.
Drops
Upon death, adult bees drop 1–3 orbs when killed by a player or tamed wolf.
Upon breeding successfully, 1–7 is dropped.
Like other baby animals, killing a baby bee yields no experience.
Behavior
Bees do not fly (like ghasts or the ender dragon), but instead hover a few blocks above the ground similar to bats.
Bees are considered arthropods and take increased damage from the Bane of Arthropods enchantment.[1] They also take damage when touching water.
Bees can be attached to a lead, even when angered. They can still attack while attached.
Bees usually venture up to 22 blocks from their beehive to find something they can pollinate or attack someone.
Pollinating
Bees leave their nest one by one during the day. They fly around their nests, and are attracted by flowers. After circling a flower or berry bush for about 30 seconds, a bee collects pollen. A bee carrying pollen changes its texture to include pollen spots on its back and drops pollen particles similar to water droplets falling.
Bees that have pollen pollinate wheat, potatoes, carrots, beetroots, melon stems, pumpkin stems and berry bushes they fly over. When one of these plants gets pollinated, it advances to another growth stage, similar to using bone meal. To pollinate a plant, the particles that drop must touch it directly. A bee can fertilize plants 10 times each time they have pollen, and there is a short wait time between pollinating each plant.
Afterward, the bee flies back into its hive/nest and makes honey. It takes about 2 minutes for the bee to do this. That increases the amount of honey in a hive/nest by 1. When the amount reaches 5, honey can be seen dripping from the bottom and front of the hive/nest. A hive/nest must have 5 honey inside before a player can collect honeycombs or honey bottles.
Housing

See also: Tutorials/Honey farming
Bees live together in colonies and take any beehive that has enough space as its home. One beehive can house up to 3 bees. Homeless bees wander around, searching for empty beehives. Bees can enter a beehive from any side, but exit only from the front. One-way bee-gates can be made in this way.
Bees return to their nest when it rains or when it is night. They return even when in biomes that don't rain like desert. They stay in their nest or hive for at least 2400 game ticks (2 minutes) before coming back out. The bees that come out keep their data (health, name, etc.).
Breaking a nest or hive that contains bees releases all the bees. If a bee nest containing bees is harvested using a tool enchanted with Silk Touch, the bees inside are kept, with their corresponding data, in the hive, and they can exit the hive again when it is placed.
When a bee that has pollen enters and then leaves its nest or hive, the honey level of the nest/hive is increased by one. When the honey level of that hive reaches 5, the player can harvest it.
Attacking
Main article: Damage
All bees nearby are angered when an individual bee is attacked, honey is collected (unless a campfire is placed under a bees nest), or a beehive is destroyed. Hitting or walking on a nest does not anger bees; it must be destroyed to anger them. When destroyed, a beehive releases any bees that it contained, and these bees are angry. If the beehive is destroyed with a Silk Touch tool, bees outside the hive become angry [Bedrock Edition only][2], while those kept within it remain neutral even after the hive is placed again.
Bees attack and swarm the player as a group when angered, and the eyes of angered bees turn red. Collecting a honeycomb or a honey bottle from a nest or hive causes the bees that are currently in that nest or hive to leave and swarm the player unless a campfire is placed below the hive; lighting any block on fire under a hive or nest also works. Bees attack only once, similar to llamas, and non-aggressive pandas. Bees do not attack in Peaceful difficulty.
If the player deflects a bee's attack with a shield, the bee continues attacking until it succeeds in hitting the player.
When a bee's attack on a player succeeds, the player is poisoned. A bee loses its stinger after a successful attack, cannot attack further, and dies approximately one minute later. This can be delayed with potions (Regeneration/Resistance/Absorption) that have a 255 potency.
It is possible to (quickly) breed at least one angered bee with another, even if it or they had stung and lost the stinger. However, they remain angered and still die later due to being stingerless.
Bees also swarm and attack other mobs when damaged, for example, if a skeleton accidentally shoots a bee.
Honey Blocks
Main article: Honey Block
Bees attach themselves to honey blocks, as if they are "eating" the block.
Breeding
Main article: Breeding
Bees follow players holding flowers. If the player is standing still and being followed by bees, the bees go toward the player, face the player, and rest on the ground. They do this until the player moves.
If bees are given a flower, they enter love mode and pair up to create baby bees, granting the player 1-7 experience. The parent bees have a cooldown of 5 minutes before they can breed again. Babies take 20 minutes (1 in-game day) to grow up. The growth of baby bees can be accelerated using flowers; each use reduces the remaining time by 10%. Thus, bees that are not actively working will take much longer to grow up or be ready to breed compared to other mobs.
Any of the 1- or 2-block flowers can be used for breeding, including the wither rose, even though it usually harms bees that touch it.

{{Item

A '''knowledge book''' is a utility item that reveals available [[crafting]] recipes to the player when {{control|used|use}}.
== Obtaining ==
Knowledge books can be obtained only by using [[commands]], as it is not found in the [[creative]] inventory; therefore, it is impossible to obtain in other modes such as [[survival]] and [[adventure]] except with commands.
For example, to give oneself a knowledge book that reveals the recipes for [[bucket]]s and [[flower pot]]s, use: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:knowledge_book{Recipes:["minecraft:bucket", "minecraft:flower_pot"]} }}.
== Usage ==
Knowledge books are used to reveal recipes to the player who uses it, by adding it to their [[recipe book]]. Using a knowledge book consumes it, removing it from the player's inventory.
Knowledge books are especially useful to mapmakers in conjunction with {{cmd|gamerule doLimitedCrafting true}}, because then any item is craftable only if its recipe is unlocked first.

'''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'".

==== Skeletons and Strays ====
[[Skeleton]]s and [[stray]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping a normal or enchanted bow on death when killed by a [[player]] or a tamed [[wolf]].
The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping.
The chance of being enchanted depends on the [[difficulty]], whether it is normal or hard. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5-22.
Bows of [[skeleton trap]]s are always enchanted at level 5 to 23. The exact level depends on [[regional difficulty]], as on Easy it is always a level-5 enchantment.
==== Illusioners ====
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
[[Illusioner]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping an unenchanted bow when killed by the player. The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of Looting, allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping.
=== Trading ===
Apprentice-level fletcher [[villager]]s sell bows for 2 [[emerald]]s as part of their [[trading|trade]]s.
Expert-level fletcher villagers sell enchanted bows for 7–21 emeralds as part of their trades. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5–19.
=== Fishing ===
Bows have a chance of being caught by [[fishing]]. When caught, the bow may be damaged and contain random [[enchantment]]s equivalent to a level 30 enchantment from an [[enchanting table]], including treasure enchantments like [[Mending]].

[[File:Steve aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]]
[[File:Alex aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]]
Bows can be drawn back by {{control|using}} them. In order to use a bow, the player must have at least one [[arrow]] in their [[inventory]] or be in [[Creative]] mode. The arrow that is shown inside the bow always looks like a regular arrow, regardless of what kind of arrow is actually being shot from the bow.<ref>{{bug|MC-87685||Drawn bow texture does not reflect arrow that will be shot|WF}}</ref>
When drawing a bow, the display zooms in slightly. Charging the bow to its maximum causes it to visually shake as an indicator. Releasing the button shoots an [[arrow]]. Drawing a bow can be canceled by switching to another hotbar slot while holding use.
While the bow is being charged or remains fully charged, the player is forced to move at [[sneaking]] speed, unless they are riding a [[horse]], [[minecart]] or [[boat]], or flying with [[elytra]]. It is not possible to [[Sprinting|sprint]] while charging a bow or holding a drawn bow. When the bow is released, normal motion resumes although any prior sprint is cancelled. Sneaking while drawing the bow makes the player move even slower.
If an arrow hits another player, the player that shoots the arrow hears a high-pitched "ding" sound.{{only|je}}
Fully charged shots launch critical arrows which have a trail of [[particles]] behind them and deal up to <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math>damage, where <math>x</math>is the damage after any enchantments. The listed values below describe maximum damage from a bow with no [[Power]] enchantments, assuming the target is at a distance where drag and gravity are negligible. However, the critical damage is likely to be more around 8-10; critical damage is added at a random value between <math>x</math>and <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math> and it is rare to have minimum or maximum values. The damage dealt can ultimately be less than the maximum damage if the arrow slows down after being shot.
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Shot base damage by changing time"
|-
! Charging time
! Maximum attack damage
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.1 s'''}} (no charge)

|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.2–0.9 s'''}} (medium charge)

|{{hp|6}}
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''1+ s'''}} (critical)
|{{hp|11}}
|-
|}
The game stores the damage of arrows even in values with a decimal point. For example, it is possible for a critical arrow shot to cause damage values such as 6.4. In this cases of a broken value, the game can round up or down and store the amount for subsequent damage sources.
Any projectile thrown by the player is under the influence of momentum in current versions of ''Minecraft''. Naturally, the player's movement speed can be modified under a number of circumstances, affecting the ballistic trajectory of projectiles, and as a result, the damage inflicted by arrows.
In [[Java Edition Combat Tests]], to avoid sniping, arrows shot from fully-charged bows become non-critical if held drawn back for longer than three seconds. Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are scaled by 1/8, just like the duration of other effects. For example, Instant Damage I arrow will deal an additional {{hp|0.75}} magical damage.
Damage caused by the arrow is not affected by the [[Strength]] effect.
[[Endermen]] cannot be shot using an arrow, because the arrow either disappears as the enderman teleports, or it gets deflected. Even while immobile, the enderman is immune to damage from arrows. However, an arrow shot from a bow enchanted with [[Flame]] can ignite the enderman.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Bow, Damaged Bow}}
=== Enchantments ===
Bows can receive several different [[enchantment]]s and have a base enchantability of 1. Bow enchantments have no effect on [[arrow]] speed or the distance it travels. In [[Bedrock Edition]], if a bow is enchanted with any level 1 enchantment, it always gets Power I.{{verify|This used to be in the trivia section. Not valid in Java Edition.}}

=== Fuel ===
A bow can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per bow {{in|java}} or 1 item per bow {{in|bedrock}}.
== Arrows ==
{{main|Arrow}}
As in real life, a flying [[arrow]] in ''Minecraft'' is affected by gravity. Its vertical speed is modified by one block downward every second, resulting in a {{w|Parabola|parabolic}} flight path. An arrow slows down if shot through water, reducing its damage to near zero unless brought back into the air or otherwise given momentum.{{Only|Java}}
Arrows that hit solid [[blocks]] become stuck and can be retrieved, unless the arrow was shot by a bow [[enchant]]ed with [[Infinity]], a player in Creative mode, or a mob.
An arrow shot through [[lava]] ignites, giving it the effect of the [[Flame]] enchantment, igniting any entity it hits. If not extinguished, the fire inflicts up to {{hp|4}} damage. Although a [[wither skeleton]] does not spawn naturally with bows, if it holds a bow then it also shoots flaming arrows.
On impact, an arrow can trigger a wooden [[pressure plate]], [[target]] block, [[wooden button]], or [[tripwire]]. Arrows cannot trigger stone pressure plates or stone buttons.
The player can choose the type of arrow to shoot based on its location in the inventory. Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected hotbar slot if the bow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot then the arrow closest to [[Inventory#Slots|slot 0]] is selected.

{{History||June 14, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/123343045/my-vision-for-survival|[[Notch]] discussed how bows and [[arrow]]s would work in [[Survival]] mode: "Bows and arrows can be made out of wood.

An '''enchanted book''' is an [[item]] that lets players add [[enchantments]] to certain items using an [[anvil]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
==== Level-30 books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book}}
==== Random enchantment books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd}}
==== Soul Speed books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-soul-speed}}
==== Swift Sneak books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-swift-sneak}}
===Fishing===
Enchanted books can be obtained as a "treasure" item from [[fishing]] with a [[fishing rod]] as part of the "treasure" category. The book has the equivalent of a level 30 enchantment from an enchantment table, but treasure enchantments are available and the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.
=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell enchanted books as part of their trades at novice, apprentice, and journeyman-level, and have {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell enchanted books at expert-level as part of their trades, meaning each librarian villager can sell up to four books. The price ranges between 5-64 [[emerald]]s per book. Based on the level of the enchantment and whether it is classified as a "[[Enchanting mechanics|treasure enchantment]]" (meaning they are not obtainable by enchanting, e.g. [[Mending]]), which doubles the cost, or not a price is determined.

They may contain any available enchantment (except Soul Speed and Swift Sneak) at any available level. See [[Trading#cite_note-enchanted-book-10|trading notes]] for more information on enchantments and prices.
===Drops ===
Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a small chance to drop an enchanted book with a level 30 enchantment, which may be a treasure enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}
===Enchanting===
[[File:Enchanted Book 4x.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple high level enchantments.]]
[[File:Similar enchantments.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple enchantments that can be applied to the same item.]]
Players can create an enchanted book by enchanting a [[book]] on an [[enchantment table]]. Books have a decreased chance of getting multiple enchantments (specifically, if multiple enchantments would be added, then one is removed at random), and have a lower "enchantability level" than most other items. Treasure enchantments such as Mending cannot be obtained from an enchantment table.
=== Bartering ===
Players can barter with [[piglin]]s by using or throwing [[gold ingot]]s, and doing so has a {{frac|5|459}} chance for piglins to give the player an enchanted book with any level of [[Soul Speed]]. Soul Speed enchanted books are only obtainable through [[bartering]], [[chest]] loot inside a bastion remnant, and [[fishing]]. They cannot be obtained through [[enchanting]] or [[trading]].
== Usage ==
{{see also|Anvil mechanics}}
In Survival, enchanted books are the only method to obtain certain enchantments on certain tools, such as Unbreaking on [[shield]]s. Enchanted books have a shine effect on their sprite.
To use an enchanted book, the player must place an item in the first slot in an [[anvil]], and a book in the next. In order to complete the enchantment, the player must have the required amount of [[experience]]. Note that using an enchanted book gets significant discounts at the anvil. Enchanted books themselves can be combined to create a single book with increased or multiple enchantments, similar to combining tools or weapons.
When combining items, the compatible enchantments from the book in the second slot are transferred to the item from the first slot, keeping the highest level of any type. If two enchantments have the same level and a higher level is available, they combine into the next level. If a book is applied to an item that can't take all of its spells, the appropriate spells are transferred, while the unusable ones are lost. Enchanted books are single-use.
Enchanted books do not exhibit their enchantment. For example, a book with Sharpness IV as an enchantment does no more damage than an un-enchanted book, or any non-weapon item, would when used as a weapon. An exception is the Fire Aspect book which can ignite TNT and light campfires and the Mending book if the block mined can be broken by fist.{{only|bedrock}}
=== Available items ===
{{See also|Enchantments}}
Enchanted books can enchant the usual items that can be enchanted at an [[enchanting table]], but ''unlike an enchanting table'', they are able to boost enchantments such as Sharpness or Thorns to their maximum power, and may apply the following enchantments to items (the table displays only netherite tools and armor, but any type can be enchanted):
<!-- do not change the items listed in this table. It is supposed to show the items that can receive these enchantments from an enchanted book, but are NOT possible through an enchanting table. -->

=== Creative mode ===
The player can enchant any item with any enchantment in [[Creative]] mode, allowing any applied effects to exhibit themselves.{{only|java}} For example, a [[stick]] can be enchanted with [[Silk Touch]] to allow the player to successfully dig [[grass block]]s. The enchanted item can still be used in Survival mode without any loss of enchantments.
Enchantments that are normally incompatible are still incompatible; for example, Piercing and Multishot cannot be both applied to the same item, even in Creative mode.
If a block is enchanted, it loses the enchantment upon being placed in the world.
=== Disenchanting ===
Disenchanting an enchanted book at a [[grindstone]] yields a normal [[book]] and some experience depending on the quality of the book.

'''String''' is an item used in [[crafting]] recipes such as [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[lead]]s. When placed as a [[block]], string becomes '''tripwire''', which can be combined with [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hooks]] to form a tripwire circuit.
== Obtaining==
String can be obtained from [[drop]]s, breaking [[cobweb]]s, [[fishing]], [[bartering]], and as gifts from [[cat]]s. String can be looted from [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert pyramid]] chests, and [[dungeon]]s.
===Breaking ===
Tripwire can be {{control|mine|text=mined}} instantly with any [[tool]], dropping string. Tripwire is also removed and drops string as an [[item]] when:
*[[Water]] flows into its space
* A [[piston]] pushes it or moves a [[block]] into its space
Tripwire is destroyed without dropping string if [[lava]] flows into its space.
A [[cobweb]] drops string when it is broken in these ways (see also {{section link|Cobweb|Usage}}):
*Breaking a cobweb with a [[sword]]
*Pushing a cobweb with a [[piston]]
*[[Water]] breaking a cobweb by flowing over it (flowing [[lava]] destroys cobwebs without leaving string)
===Natural generation===
Five pieces of tripwire generate naturally in every [[jungle temple]].
===Mob loot ===
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s drop 0–2 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 string with Looting III.
[[Strider]]s drop 2–5 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 string with Looting III.{{only|Java|short=1}}
[[Cat]]s drop 0–2 string upon death, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-200707||Looting does not increase drops for iron golems and cats}}</ref>
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|string}}
===Fishing===
String has a 0.6% ({{frac|3|500}}) chance of being caught when [[fishing]] with an unenchanted fishing rod. The chance decreases to 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}), 0.4% ({{frac|1|250}}), and 0.3% ({{frac|3|1000}}) if the fishing rod is enchanted with [[Luck of the Sea]] at enchantment levels I, II, and III, respectively.
===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a string.
===Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 3-9 string when given a [[gold ingot]].
== Usage==
String can be used as a crafting ingredient and tripwire can be used as a [[redstone circuit]] component. It can also be used to keep [[player]]s from ender-pearling through that space.
=== Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}
===Redstone component===
{{redirect|Tripwire|tripwire hooks|Tripwire Hook}}
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}
String can be placed as tripwire, which can be used to detect [[entity|entities]] as part of a tripwire circuit. [[Observer]]s can also be used with a tripwire to generate redstone signals.
;Placement
To place tripwire, {{control|use}} string while pointing at a surface facing the space the tripwire should occupy.
{{Schematic | caption =
'''Tripwire Circuit'''
|SB|th-$w|tw-$ew|th-$e|SB
}}
:In order to activate [[tripwire hook]]s, tripwire must be part of a "tripwire circuit": a straight line of [[block]]s consisting of a block with a tripwire hook attached to it, a "tripwire line" (1 to 40 blocks of tripwire), and a second tripwire hook attached to another block.
;Activation
Tripwire activates if almost any [[entity]] ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, [[minecart]]s, [[boat]]s, [[item]]s, [[arrow]]s, etc.) intersects its collision mask. The tripwire remains active until there are no entities intersecting its collision mask. Thrown [[potion]]s, some arrows, thrown [[ender pearl]]s, and thrown [[eyes of ender]] do not activate tripwire.
;Behavior
An active tripwire updates adjacent [[block]]s (for example, it can activate a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD circuit]]). Additionally, active tripwires that are part of valid tripwire circuits cause the attached tripwire hooks to activate (producing [[redstone]] power). Active tripwires do ''not'' themselves produce redstone power.
When tripwire is broken (including by being washed away by spreading [[water]] {{in|java}}) after being part of a valid tripwire circuit, it activates the attached tripwire hooks for 5 redstone ticks (10 game [[tick]]s, or 0.5 seconds barring lag). It does not produce the signal if it is broken using [[shear]]s.
===Trading===
Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 20 string as part of their first-tier trade.
Journeyman-level fletcher villagers buy 14 string for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

A '''trident''' is a [[weapon]] used in both melee and ranged combat and is a rare drop from [[drowned]].
==Obtaining==
Tridents are not craftable. A trident can be obtained only when dropped by a [[drowned]].
===Mob loot===
15% of [[drowned]] {{in|bedrock}} (6.25% {{in|java}}) spawn with a trident of random durability as their natural weapon, and only the drowned with a trident have a 8.5% chance of dropping the trident, increasing by 1% with each level of [[Looting]].
Only naturally-spawned drowned can spawn with a trident and have a chance of dropping one. {{IN|Java}}, a trident held by a drowned has a chance to be enchanted, but the trident's enchantments have no effects for drowned.<ref>{{bug|MC-127321}}</ref>
===Thrown tridents===
Tridents thrown onto the ground by a player can be picked up; however, tridents thrown by [[drowned]] cannot be picked up, similar to arrows shot by [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, and [[pillager]]s. Only the owner of a trident thrown in Creative mode or enchanted with Loyalty can pick it up; other players in Creative and players in Survival mode including its own owner can't pick up the trident thrown in Creative.
===Trading===
Drowned who are holding tridents will sometimes drop their trident at full durability if given a nautilus shell when they aren't attacking anything.{{only|BE}}
==Usage==
===Drowned===
{{main|Drowned}}
15% of drowned {{in|bedrock}}, and 6.25% {{in|java}}, spawn with a trident as its natural weapon. It throws the trident at its opponent every 1.5 seconds, dealing {{hp|9}} [[damage]] in normal difficulty. A drowned can throw unlimited tridents, and these tridents cannot be picked up by the [[player]].
A [[villager]] can be turned into a [[zombie villager]] if it is killed by a trident thrown by a drowned: the chance of conversion is 0% on Easy [[difficulty]], 50% on Normal, and 100% on Hard and [[Hardcore]].
{{IN|bedrock}}, a drowned can use the trident's melee attack if its target is within three blocks. The melee attack deals {{hp|9}} damage.
===Melee attack===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a trident deals damage to both [[mob]]s and players. Tridents deal {{hp|9}} melee damage. A successful hit consumes durability of the trident.
===Ranged attack===
[[File:Steve aiming with Trident.png|150px]] [[File:Alex aiming with Trident.png|150px]]
Pressing and holding {{control|use}} while holding a trident charges it. When released at full charge, the trident is thrown and deals damage to any [[entity]] it hits. It flies on a ballistic trajectory similar to that of an [[arrow]], but at 80% strength. If the trident hits a block, it sticks to the block. If it hits an entity, it bounces off the entity and lands nearby. It is also blocked by [[shield]]s and can be retrieved once it lands in the ground. Thrown tridents can trigger wooden [[button]]s, wooden [[pressure plate]]s, and [[target]] blocks. A trident can be thrown at a [[chorus flower]] or [[pointed dripstone]] to break it, which causes the block to be dropped as its respective item.
{{IN|bedrock}} and [[Java Edition Combat Test 4]], tridents can be shot by [[dispenser]]s regardless of enchantment.
Tridents [[Enchanting#Summary_of_enchantments_by_item|enchanted]] with [[Loyalty]] return to the thrower after hitting an entity{{only|java}}/hitting and bouncing off an entity then hitting a block{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-51726}}</ref> or just a block. A Loyalty-enchanted trident fired from a [[dispenser]] just sticks to the block it strikes. Higher levels of enchantment result in shorter recovery times. {{IN|java}}, throwing a trident enchanted with Loyalty into the [[void]] destroys it,<ref>{{bug|MC-125755|||WAI}}</ref> while {{in|bedrock}} it automatically returns to the player. Tridents (if enchanted with Loyalty), can take [[fire]] damage but still return to the player if thrown in [[lava]]. This is especially helpful in [[the Nether]] should the [[player]] be using a trident instead of a [[bow]]. If a trident enchanted with Loyalty attempts to return to a player with no available inventory space, the trident floats near the player until inventory space becomes available.
Thrown tridents take 1 durability damage, regardless of whether it hit an entity or not. Tridents with 1 durability remaining cannot be thrown.
Tridents enchanted with [[Riptide]] launch the player a certain distance when thrown, with the distance increasing for higher enchantment levels. They can be thrown only if the player is standing in [[water]], or if it is raining on the block they are standing on. If the player charges it but walks into a nearby dry area, the charge is canceled. If the player throws a Riptide trident and collides with a mob, the mob takes melee damage (including critical damage if the player is falling). {{IN|java}} tridents enchanted with Riptide take one durability damage upon throwing, and lose an additional 1 durability if it collides with an entity on both editions. Each level of Riptide increases the distance traveled by six blocks. The enchantment at level one launches the player nine blocks, fifteen blocks at level two, and twenty-one blocks at level three.
Tridents enchanted with [[Channeling]] summon a lightning bolt if there is a thunderstorm, although only upon hitting a mob or player standing in the rain as well as a [[Lightning Rod|lightning rod]] placed in the rain.
Unlike other projectiles, the trident does not slow down when thrown through water or lava.
{{IN|java}}, the [[Impaling]] enchantment affects ''all water mobs''. {{IN|bedrock}}, it deals extra damage to [[player]]s and mobs in water or rain.
Unlike arrows, thrown tridents do not despawn.{{only|bedrock}} Tridents despawn after 60 seconds if they are not picked up.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-125817}}</ref>
;Magical damage
Using [[Riptide]], nearby players or mobs are dealt [[Harming|splash damage]] within an 8.25×8.25×4.25 cubical area. It stacks with the [[Impaling]] enchantment and [[Strength]] effect. Critical hits do not increase splash damage, but affect the target.
{{IN|bedrock}}, thrown tridents can damage the [[ender dragon]] while resting on the bedrock fountain. {{IN|java}}, they act just like arrows — deflected, but burn as if they had [[Flame]].
=== Damage===
Thrown tridents and splashes deal {{hp|8}} damage. The damage remains the same regardless of the trident's speed. It has a faster charging speed than a [[bow]] or [[crossbow]] (barring the [[Quick Charge]] enchantment.)
====Java Edition====
{{IN|java}}, tridents have an attack speed of 1.1 and take ~0.91 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

===Elytra===
A trident with the [[Riptide]] enchantment can be used to propel a player with a pair of [[elytra]], but only in [[rain]]y weather, during snowy weather in certain biomes<ref>{{bug|MC-128169}}</ref> or while the [[player]] is in a body of water. A Riptide trident can boost the player to speeds as high as 125 blocks per second,<ref>{{bug|MC-147173||Using riptide tridents while elytra flying can boost the player to excessive speeds}}</ref> much faster than the 33.5 blocks-per-second speed achievable using [[firework rocket]]s.
===Impaling damage ===
{{IN|java}}, the [[Impaling]] enchantment deals extra damage to all water mobs. {{IN|bedrock}} and in [[Java Edition Combat Test 3]], it deals extra damage to all players and mobs in water or rain.

===Repairing ===
Tridents have the same [[durability]] as an [[sword|iron sword]]. Whenever a trident deals damage, its durability decreases by 1.
Tridents can be repaired by:
*combining two damaged tridents in a [[grindstone]], or on a [[crafting table]] or the 2×2 inventory grid, which removes any enchantments except for [[Curse of Vanishing]] and [[Curse of Binding]]
*combining a damaged trident with another trident on an [[anvil]], which preserves enchantments.
*applying the [[Mending]] enchantment.
==Sounds==

==Issues==
{{issue list}}
==Trivia==
* If a player throws a Loyalty-enchanted trident and the player's inventory subsequently fills, the trident hovers around or through the player's skin until an inventory slot opens, which it fills immediately. Multiple tridents can be 'queued' to re-enter the player's inventory in this manner.
*{{IN|java}} in Creative mode, sword enchantments can be applied to tridents. This includes Sharpness, Fire Aspect, and Looting. Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods increases their damage against their specific mobs, as well.{{more info needed|Does the damage also increase when the trident is thrown?}}
*Thrown tridents pass through [[Nether Portal (block)|nether portal block]]s without being transported to [[the Nether]] or the [[Overworld]].
*Using a trident enchanted with Riptide while riding an entity cancels the charge and does nothing.

Trivia
- Bees are the first flying arthropods. The other arthropods are silverfish, endermites, spiders, and cave spiders.
- Bees are the only arthropod mob that can exist in peaceful difficulty and are not necessary to earn the Monster Hunter / Monsters Hunted advancements as they are passive.
- Bees were made to be half a block in size because Mojang considered this size to be the cutest.[5]
- Bees pollinate the top half of sunflower blocks.
- In real life, baby bees look nothing like their adult counterpart, but are larvae instead.
- Bees and creepers are the only mobs that die after attacking a mob.
- When a bee is about to sting, the sting can be blocked if the player has a shield activated.
