A river bisecting a jungle biome. At the top right is a forest.
Biomes are regions in a Minecraft world with varying geographical features, flora, heights, temperatures, humidity ratings, sky colours and foliage colours. Introduced in the Halloween Update, biomes separate every generated world into different environments, paralleling the real world; examples of biomes include the forest, jungle, desert and tundra. Prior to the Halloween Update, every world had only a single theme, either grassy or snowy.
In the Anvil file format, biomes are stored directly in the world data. This differs from the previous Region file format format, where biomes were dynamically calculated from the seed.
The term biome is analogous to its scientific usage: on Earth, a biome is climatically and geographically defined by distinctive communities of plants, animals and soil organisms supported by similar climatic conditions. They are often referred to as ecosystems.[1][2]
Biome types
As of 1.4.2 there are 12 main biome types and a number of technical biomes. Main biomes can be distinguished by the grass and leaf colors in the biome, along with the types of blocks present (e.g. types of trees or other plants like cacti, sand coverage in deserts). Biomes are pseudo-randomly generated using the map seed. Technical biomes provide smoother transitions between main biome types, or introduce extra custom features within a main biome, such as rivers, beaches, hills and border areas.
| Name and Features | Description and Sample Image |
|---|---|
| Forest
Oak and Birch Trees, Tall Grass, Flowers, Grass, Wolves, Pigs, Cows, Sheep, Chickens, Mushrooms |
A biome with a lot of trees, occasional hills and a fair amount of grass. Oak and birch trees grow in this biome. Mushrooms, tall grass, roses and flowers can occasionally be found. Forests can occasionally be generated as a technical biome in plains biomes. This is one of the best biomes to start out in, due to the abundance of wood. The frequency of trees makes it dangerous to navigate at night, due to obscured vision, and ease of mobs to spawn. Forest biomes are also one of the smallest biomes. |
| Desert
Sand, Cacti, Dead Bushes, Sandstone, Sugar Cane, Desert wells, Desert Temple, NPC Villages |
A barren biome consisting mostly of sand, large dunes, dead bushes and cacti. Sandstone is commonly found underneath the sand. Rain never falls in this biome (however, if there is a river or a lake you can see rain falling just in this location). Sugar Cane can be found next to pools of water. The lack of visual obstruction makes mobs highly visible at night. Desert NPC Villages, desert wells and desert temples are found exclusively in this biome. Despite being deserts, they still generate with a lot of water. |
| Plains | A relatively flat biome with rolling hills and much tall grass but with few trees. Gullies, water holes, and NPC Villages are common. Passive mobs spawn here often. Cave openings and water or lava springs are easily identifiable due to its unobstructed terrain. |
| Swampland | A biome characterized by a mix of flat, dry areas (including lots of small islands) around the sea level and shallow pools of water with floating lily pads. Clay, sand and dirt are commonly found at the bottom of these pools. Trees are often covered with vines and can be found growing out from the water. Mushrooms spawn abundantly in this biome. Stalks of sugar cane can be found along the shores. The colors of the water, grass, leaves and vines are much darker than in other biomes. As of 1.4, witch huts spawn in swamps. Slimes will also spawn naturally during the night. |
| Jungle
Jungle Trees, Grass, Ferns, Flowers, Vines, Ocelots, Cocoa Pods |
A very dense, tropical biome. It features large jungle trees that can reach up to 31 blocks tall, with 2×2 trunks. Oak trees are also common. The landscape is lush green and quite hilly, with many small lakes of water often nestled into deep valleys, sometimes above sea level. Leaves cover much of the forest floor—these "bush trees" have single-blocks of jungle wood for trunks, surrounded by oak leaves for foliage. When inside a jungle, the sky will become noticeably lighter. This is the only biome containing ferns and the aforementioned jungle trees. Vines are found alongside most blocks and may be found close to the surface in caves. Ocelots, Jungle Temples and Cocoa Plants spawn exclusively in this biome, the latter found on jungle trees. |
| Ice Plains (Tundra) | An expansive, flat biome with a huge amount of snow. It does not rain in this biome — it snows instead. Lakes and rivers are frozen over. Hills tend to be more mountainous. Sugar Cane will spawn in this biome, but tend to become uprooted when chunks load as the water sources freeze to ice. There are very few natural oak trees in this biome. Due to the scarcity of wood, initial survival becomes difficult in comparison to other biomes. No above ground structures spawn here. |
| Taiga
Snow, Snowfall, Ice, Spruce Trees, Grass, Flowers, Wolves, Tall Grass |
A hilly biome densely filled with spruce trees. Grass is a dull gray-blue. Snowfall occurs in this biome, forming snow and ice. Hills are common, and wolves are found in this biome more frequently than in others. |
| Extreme Hills | A highly mountainous biome (with some mountains reaching over y=100) with dull gray-blue grass and a few scattered oak trees. Cliffs, peaks, valleys, waterfalls, overhangs, floating islands, and many other structures exist, offering outstanding views. More underground cave systems are present here than in any other biome. Falling is a significant risk, as there are many ledges and sudden drops large enough to cause severe fall damage or even death. Extreme Hills and Extreme Hills Edge are the only biomes where Emerald Ores spawn. They are also the only true biome in which silverfish can be found naturally. |
| Ocean | An extremely large, open biome made entirely of water, with underwater relief on the sea floor, such as small mountains and plains, usually including dirt, sand, and clay. There is no maximum limit to the size of oceans.[3] Oceans typically extend under 25,000 blocks in any direction, reaching out to 100,000 in rare circumstances. Small islands with infrequent vegetation can be found in oceans. Friendly mobs do not spawn on these islands, but hostiles do. Epic caves are very common below sea level, and entrances to underground ravines can be found at the bottom of the ocean, as well as abandoned mine shafts. |
| Mushroom Island | This rare biome consists of a mixture of flat landscape and steep hills and has mycelium instead of grass as its common surface block. It is always adjacent to an Ocean and it is often found isolated from other biomes. It is the only biome where huge mushrooms can spawn naturally, and where mushrooms can grow in full sunlight.
No mobs other than Mooshrooms spawn "naturally" in this biome, including the usual night-time monster spawns. This also applies to caves, abandoned mine shafts, etc. below mushroom biomes, meaning exploring underground is relatively safe. This includes player-made structures as well. However, Monster Spawners will still spawn mobs, the player can still breed animals (brought in from other biomes), golems can still be built, and Spawn Eggs work as usual. Trees can be grown from saplings in this biome, as well as other dirt or grass-based plants, as long as they are not directly adjacent to mycelium, which will take over the dirt square from the plant and uproot it. Mycelium cannot be tilled directly, but it can be dug away and replaced as dirt, then immediately tilled. Once created, farmland can resist takeover by mycelium. |
| Hell (The Nether) | This is the biome used to generate the Nether. Most of the terrain is composed entirely of expansive netherrack mountains, caves, and walls at all altitudes. Unlike other biomes it is enclosed by bedrock at layers 128 and 1. Lava oceans cover this biome at layer 31, while lava springs flow down from the bedrock ceiling (and occasionally from walls), making lava streams and lakes very common. Besides generating more often, lava also flows further and faster than it does in the Overworld. It is the only biome where ghasts, blazes, wither skeletons, magma cubes and zombie pigmen naturally spawn. Glowstone is also found beneath netherrack ceilings and outcrops, while gravel and soul sand appear in layers and outcrops. Many of the creatures and resources of the Nether can only appear in Nether fortresses (the dark structure in the picture). |
| Sky (The End) | This biome is used to generate the End. Unlike other biomes it is composed almost entirely of a finite, floating landmass of End Stone, with the exception of obsidian towers and Ender Crystals. Only Endermen and a sole Ender Dragon can spawn in this biome. Using this biome in the Overworld (using external editors or superflat codes) will cause the sky to turn black. |
Technical biomes
Technical biomes are found alongside or within their larger counterparts. They are not considered true biomes but they are referred to as biomes in the code and the debug menu. However, these technical biomes serve an important role in the Minecraft world in creating more realistic terrain.
There are seven known technical biomes.
| Name | Description | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| River | A biome that consists of water blocks that form in an elongated, curving shape similar to a river. Rivers cut through terrain or separate the main biomes. They attempt to join up with ocean on the other side, but will sometimes loop around to the same area of ocean. They have no current. Rivers are also a reliable source of clay. |
|
| Frozen River | This variant of the river only spawns in taiga and tundra biomes. The surface layer of water is frozen. |
|
| Beach | Generated on the shores of almost any body of water, beaches are composed of sand. Beaches penetrate the landscape, removing the original blocks and placing in sand blocks.
For the history of beaches, see the Beach page. |
File:Minecraft Beaches.png |
| Mushroom Island Shore | Mushroom shores represent the flat shore area of the mushroom biome. |
|
| Frozen Ocean | Found near snowy biomes, frozen oceans contain ice on the top layer of water. |
|
| Extreme Hills Edge | Acts as a fringe between mountains and most other biomes. | File:Extreme Hills Edge.png |
| Hills | Hills are generated within Forest, Taiga, Desert, Jungle, and Tundra biomes and are referred in the F3 menu as "ForestHills", "TaigaHills", etc. Forest hills seem to be generated more rarely than the other hills in their respective main biome. Tundra Hills are usually taller. In update 1.3 hills generated in forest and desert biomes are now taller. | File:2012-05-20 08.54.26.png

A '''powder snow bucket''' is a [[bucket]] with [[powder snow]] inside.
== Obtaining ==
A powder snow bucket can be obtained by {{ctrl|using}} an [[empty bucket]] on a [[powder snow block]] or [[powder snow cauldron]].
== Usage ==
Pressing {{control|use}} while holding a powder snow bucket places a [[powder snow]] block. {{IN|Java}}, powder snow may also be placed inside empty [[cauldron]]s, creating powder snow cauldrons.
[[Dispenser]]s can also create and place powder snow buckets. However, they cannot do so with [[cauldron]]s. You can also use it to cushion falls in the [[nether]] by placing it below you when falling.

An '''eye of ender''' is a craftable item used to locate [[stronghold]]s and activate the [[end portal]]s within them.

|Output=Eye of Ender
|type=Miscellaneous
}}
== Usage ==
=== Locating strongholds ===
[[File:Eye of Ender (break).gif|thumb|right|An animation of an eye of ender shattering.]]
To locate [[stronghold]]s (and the [[end portal]]s they house):
* Pressing {{control|use}} while holding an eye of ender causes it to fly approximately 12 blocks in the direction of the nearest stronghold, traveling through any blocks necessary, and leave a trail of purple particles, the same particle effect used for [[endermen]] and [[ender chests]].
** The eye leads to the [[chunk]] where a spiral staircase, the first room generated in the stronghold, is located.
** The center of this entrance staircase is always exactly at the chunk coordinates 4, ~, 4, although the eye of ender leads to chunk coordinates 0, ~, 0 (the northwest corner of the chunk).
* While over 12 blocks away from the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel upward to offer an easily-visible indication of the horizontal direction the player must travel.
* When closer than 12 blocks to the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel downward, to indicate the player is above a stronghold and must mine downward.
* After two or three seconds of travel, the eye floats in the air briefly, then either falls (becoming collectable again) or shatters in mid-air. The eye has a 20% chance of shattering (80% chance of surviving) per throw, therefore throwing it three times has approximately 50% overall chance to shatter the eye (0.8<sup>3</sup>=51.2%).
* The eye of ender's flying function works only in the [[Overworld]]. It does nothing in [[the Nether]], [[the End]], [[custom dimension]]s{{verify|type=current}}, or in worlds with no strongholds.
Note that the eyes may point to an incorrect location if the target chunks were generated with a different biomes map in an older version or through different generation settings.<ref>See also {{bug|MC-135996}}</ref>
=== Activating end portals ===
[[File:Active End Portal.png|thumb|right|An end portal activated with eyes of ender.]]
Once an end portal is found, the eyes of ender are required to activate it. End portals require a total of 12 eyes of ender in order to activate, though each individual frame-block has a 10% chance of containing an eye of ender when generated. Eyes can be placed in empty [[End portal frame]]s by pressing {{control|use}} on them until the entire ring of 12 is filled, thereby activating the portal. Due to the fact that there is a 10% chance of each individual end portal frame having an eye in it, there is a one out of one trillion chance of every frame having an eye in it thereby activating the portal even if the player doesn't have any eyes of ender.

{{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|[[File:Eye of Ender JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added eyes of ender.
|Eyes of ender can be used on a [[end portal frame|portal block]] to repair them, but repairing them does nothing.}}
{{History|||snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4|Each eye can now be placed in a [[end portal frame|portal block]] or used to hone in on a [[stronghold]]. [[Jens Bergensten|Jeb]] demonstrated the new uses for an eye in his livestream.<ref>http://www.twitch.tv/jebox/b/297000418</ref> An [[end portal]] within a stronghold could be seen in the stream with two eyes inserted into blocks.
|In older worlds with chunks generated before [[Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3]], the eyes may mislead the [[player]] to a place where there isn't a [[stronghold]] at all. This happens because the eyes lead to where a stronghold should be based on the world seed in the current version, but before Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 strongholds generated differently based on the seed. Therefore, if the player saved the coordinates the eye traveled to in an old world and generated a new world with the same seed, the player could travel to those same coordinates and find a stronghold.}}

==Issues==
{{issue list}}
==Trivia ==
*When thrown in third-person view, the eyes of ender fly out from the player's feet instead of their hand.
*Before [[Java Edition 1.9]], eyes of ender can be purchased from cleric villagers, which means players can find a [[stronghold]] and go to [[the End]] without accessing [[the Nether]] at all.
*{{IN|bedrock}} if the player travels beyond a certain radius (roughly 740,000 blocks), eyes of ender always point to a stronghold near spawn, even though strongholds continue to generate past this limit. If one travels to this limit, they can see eyes of ender suddenly switching direction. A similar phenomenon occurs with the {{cmd|locate}} command.

A '''medicine''' is a type of [[potion]] that cures the specified [[effect]] instead of applying it.
== Obtaining ==
=== Brewing ===
Cures are brewed from awkward potions using different [[element]]s.{{only|bedrock|education}} These drinks remove the specified effect when drank, and cannot be modified into splash, lingering, extended or enhanced versions.

== Usage ==
Each type of medicine has an associated effect that it can cure (see {{slink||Brewing}} for details). Players can drink the medicine only if they have the corresponding effect. Drinking the medicine eliminates the effect. Although medicine does not resemble [[potion]]s, the player still gets the [[glass bottle]] back.

A '''water bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[water]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Interacting ===
To fill an empty [[bucket]] with water, {{control|use}} it on a [[water]] source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket.
{{control|Using}} an empty bucket on a [[cauldron]] filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket.
Water buckets can also be filled by placing an empty one in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]], and a wet [[sponge]] into the oven slot. The bucket is filled when the [[smelting]] process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused.
=== Chest Loot ===
{{LootChestItem|water-bucket}}
== Usage ==
{{Control|Using}} a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a [[waterlogging|waterloggable]] block waterlogs the block. In [[the Nether]], however, the water evaporates, making a fire extinguishing sound and displays smoke particles while nothing gets placed.
=== Dispensers ===
A [[dispenser]] can be loaded with a water bucket, and when activated it places a water block directly before it, emptying the bucket. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it draws the source into the bucket when activated.
=== Cauldrons ===
A single water bucket can fill a [[cauldron]], and using an empty bucket on a water-filled cauldron fills the bucket. Empty buckets cannot be filled from partly-filled cauldrons.
=== Filling bucket with mobs ===
Water buckets can be used on a [[fish]], [[axolotl]] or [[tadpole]] to create a [[bucket of aquatic mob]].
=== Transportation ===
{{main|Tutorials/Elevators#Water elevators}}
Water buckets can be used as a means of quickly descending great heights in the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], either by creating a waterfall or using the water bucket while falling to create a safe water landing.
Water buckets can also be used to climb vertical surfaces anywhere but [[the Nether]] by repeatedly creating higher waterfalls from the bottom and swimming up them.

An '''arrow''' serves as ammunition for [[bow]]s, [[crossbow]]s, and [[dispenser]]s. Arrows can be modified to give [[status effects]] to [[player]]s and [[mob]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Picking up arrows ===
Arrows shot by players can always be [[#Retrieving|picked up]] in Creative mode.
An arrow ''cannot'' be picked up by a player in [[Survival]] or [[Adventure]] mode if:
* It is shot by a player in [[Creative]] mode.
* It is shot by any [[mob]] able to shoot arrows, such as [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[pillager]]s, or [[piglin]]s. This includes mobs that do not shoot arrows in normal gameplay, such as [[illusioner]]s and bow-wielding [[wither skeleton]]s.
** This is the case even in Creative mode.<ref>{{bug|MC-128845|||WAI}}</ref>
* It is shot with an [[Infinity]]-enchanted [[bow]].
* It is one of the two extra arrows shot with a [[Multishot]]-enchanted [[crossbow]].
=== Mob loot ===
[[Skeleton]]s and [[stray]]s drop 0-2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 arrows with Looting III.
Strays have a 50% chance of dropping 1 arrow of [[Slowness]] when killed by a player. Each level of Looting increases the chance of this drop by 50% of the previous chance. This results in a maximum of 93.75% with Looting III.
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[pillager]]s also drop 0–2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 arrows with Looting III.
=== Trading ===
Novice-level fletcher [[villager]]s have a 50% chance {{in|bedrock}}, or a {{frac|2|3}} chance {{in|java}}, to sell 16 arrows for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.
{{IN|bedrock}}, master-level fletcher villagers have a {{frac|1|2}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows. {{IN|java}}, they have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows. Trades {{in|java}} can be the base effect, level II, or extended; {{in|bedrock}}, only the arrow of decay is level II.<!-- A check should be made if it chooses randomly from the whole of the list of possible arrows variants, or it it chooses a base arrow potion effect, then randomly choose from that arrow's options. The first one would make arrow's without a level II, like Fire Resistance for example, slightly less likely than ones with all three options like Swiftness. -->
<!-- None are extended duration, but villagers can trade level 2 arrows. -->

=== Bartering ===
Spectral arrows{{only|java}}/normal arrows{{only|bedrock}} can be obtained through [[bartering]] with [[piglin]]s, and have a ~8.71% chance to give the [[player]] 6-12 arrows.
=== Villager gifts ===
{{IN|java}}, any regular or tipped arrow (except for [[luck]] and [[Bad Luck]] arrows) can be obtained as a reward item from [[fletcher]] [[villager]]s when the player has the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.

=== Retrieving ===
Arrows stuck in a block that were originally shot by dispensers or by players in [[Survival]] without the [[Infinity]] enchantment may be collected. Arrows originally shot by [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[illusioner]]s, [[pillager]]s, [[piglin]]s, players in [[Creative]], players using the [[Infinity]] enchantment, or duplicate arrows created by [[Crossbow]]s with the [[Multishot]] enchantment cannot be collected. Arrows cannot be retrieved when they are stuck in a player or mob, and players or mobs do not drop them when killed. Retrievable arrows have a despawn timer of 60 seconds.
=== Cauldrons ===
{{main|Cauldron#Potions}}
{{IN|bedrock}}, tipped arrows can also be obtained by using arrows on [[Cauldron#Potions|cauldrons]] that contain [[potion]]s. The number of tipped arrows created depends on the potion inside the cauldron. When the cauldron is {{frac|1|3}} full, 16 arrows can be tipped. When the cauldron is {{frac|2|3}} full, up to 32 arrows can be tipped and when the cauldron is full, an entire stack of 64 arrows can be tipped. This is more efficient than using lingering potions as up to 21.33 arrows can be tipped per potion.
== Usage ==
{{see also|Bow}}
When fired, arrows fly in a [[wikipedia:Trajectory of a projectile|ballistic trajectory]] affected by gravity and drag in [[air]], [[water]], and [[lava]]. The arrow's velocity is multiplied by 0.99 every game tick, and it also experiences 20 block/s<sup>2</sup> of downward acceleration induced by gravity.
Arrows travel approximately 3 [[block]]s when fired parallel to a flat plane with no charge, 15 blocks average with medium charge, and 24 blocks average with maximum charge. When fired from a fully charged bow, arrows can travel 120 blocks if fired from an optimal angle. The maximum height an arrow fired by a bow can reach is around 66 blocks.
An arrow fired in water experiences much more drag than in air: it moves less than 8 blocks before completely losing horizontal speed and falling straight down, although the knockback of the arrow remains unaffected. It also leaves a trail of bubbles in its wake.
There is a random variable to the trajectory of an arrow, given by <code>this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.0075 * (double)inaccuracy</code> for the x, y and z coordinate. The inaccuracy is relatively small, becoming noticeable over larger distances. The inaccuracy of different arrow delivery devices may differ. Dispensers fire with an inaccuracy of 6, while bows fire with an inaccuracy of 1.
An arrow's speed determine the damage it inflicts. The damage inflicted is calculated by multiplying the arrow's [[#Entity data|damage value]] with its velocity in blocks per [[Tick#Game tick|game tick]]. When fired from a fully-charged unenchanted bow, arrows do {{hp|6}} of damage, with a smaller chance to damage for up to {{hp|11}} via critical hits. They inflict up to {{hp|5}} damage from a medium-charged bow, and {{hp|1}} from a bow with no charge. Arrows fired from dispensers always do {{hp|3}} of damage unless their velocity is modified by an external source. Arrows fired from [[crossbow]]s do {{hp|6}} to {{hp|11}} of damage.
Arrows trigger [[Damage#Immunity|damage immunity]] on hit. However, unlike other methods of damage that may bypass invulnerability under certain conditions, arrows hitting the mob while it is invulnerable lose all speed and drop to the ground, dealing no damage unless they contact another mob.
[[File:ArrowShotInTree.png|thumb|An arrow shot into a [[tree]].]]
Arrows also stick into objects they come in contact with and remain there for one minute before disappearing; the distance from the object and the angle determine how far into the target the arrow penetrates. Such arrows may be [[#Retrieving|retrieved]].
If the arrow has any custom potion effects (NBT tag <code>CustomPotionEffects</code>), all potion effects, including vanilla potion effects (NBT tag <code>Potion</code>) are removed 30 seconds after the arrow stops moving.
If an arrow is stuck in a block, and that block is broken or disappears (e.g., [[leaves]] upon decay), then the arrow falls straight down and damages entities below, but never deals a critical hit. The 1-minute despawn timer is then refreshed, meaning it will take another minute for the arrow to despawn.
Arrows bounce off players and mobs immune to damage, like a player in Creative mode, a [[wither]] under the "wither armor" effect, and a perching [[ender dragon]].
Arrows shot through [[lava]] or (if there's at least a 2 block gap) [[fire]] catch on fire and show an appropriate animation until they pass through water. Like arrows shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, they can set other entities they hit on fire for 5 seconds as well as ignite TNT and campfires.
An arrow shot at any kind of boat{{only|java|short=1}} or minecart causes the vehicle to break, dropping any components (including container contents).
Arrows can get visually stuck in players {{in|java}}, although not any mobs. They appear as regular arrows regardless of type.<ref>{{bug|MC-83933|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Redstone circuits ===
An arrow can activate a wooden [[button]], wooden [[pressure plate]], a [[tripwire]], or a [[target]]. An arrow will continue to power these blocks until it is removed, either due to despawning, or being picked up. Target blocks emit a redstone pulse for one second, as opposed to the static depressed state of the other switches. Non-wooden switches are not affected by arrows.
When arrows are fired into the sides of blocks, they change their orientation to point more downward than their original flight path might indicate. This can cause them to intersect and thus trigger switches above them that they didn't actually hit, or block rails above them.
=== Explosions ===
Arrows are affected by explosions while they are in flight. Since explosions can increase the speed of an arrow, they can also increase the damage dealt by them. {{only|Java}}
== Variants ==
=== Tipped arrows ===
{{See also|#Crafting}}
Tipped arrows are arrows that imbue a potion effect when hitting a mob or player. The duration of the effect is {{frac|1|8}} that of the corresponding potion, if applicable, and is not affected by the power of the arrow. The status effect is the same as the regular power effect for the potion. If a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], tipped arrows are still consumed.
The types of arrows are:
<div class="list-style-none" style="-moz-column-width:19em;-webkit-column-width:19em;column-width:19em">
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Regeneration}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Swiftness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Fire Resistance}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Healing}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Night Vision}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Strength}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Leaping}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Invisibility}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Poison}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Weakness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slowness}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Harming}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Water Breathing}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Luck}}{{only|java|short=1}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Decay}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of the Turtle Master}}
* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slow Falling}}
</div>
Arrows of Harming (and arrows of Healing when used against undead mobs) do not add a static amount of damage to the arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-107856||Arrows of harming/healing do not stack with bow damage}}</ref> Instead, the arrow's damage is first calculated, then checked to see if it is below {{Health|12}}. If the arrow's damage is less than 12, the Harming effect of the arrow makes up the difference, to ensure the arrow does exactly {{Health|12}}. Therefore, an unenchanted bow cannot deal more than 12 damage using Harming (or Healing) arrows, as it can deal a maximum of {{Health|11}} damage on level ground. However, if the arrow would deal more than 12 damage, the harming effect is entirely neutralized. This means that bows enchanted with Power I through Power III has a chance to not utilize the arrow at full charge, and any Power level above III never utilizes Arrows of Harming effectively at full charge when against unarmored mobs/players.
==== No-effect tipped arrows ====
It is possible to craft tipped arrows using [[Lingering Potion#Lingering water bottle|Lingering Water Bottles]] as well as Awkward, Thick, and Mundane [[Lingering Potion|Lingering potions]]. If crafted with a water bottle, the arrow is called an arrow of Splashing. If crafted with Mundane, Awkward, or Thick potions, it is called a tipped arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-158539}}</ref> Tipped arrows crafted from different potions do not stack, as resultant tipped arrows all have different potion tags.
In Bedrock Edition, all four kinds as well as the long mundane tipped arrow aren't obtainable either in creative, by cauldrons, by crafting, or by commands.
All four kinds generate blue particles in flight and upon landing, but otherwise behave like regular arrows. In particular, arrow of Splashing has no effect on fire and campfires and when shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, can light campfires and TNT just like regular arrows on fire.

==== Uncraftable tipped arrows ====
{{IN|java}}, the uncraftable tipped arrow is a tipped arrow with no effect that is unobtainable in regular gameplay. It is available in two variants that don't stack together:
* {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow{Potion:"minecraft:empty"} }} - arrow assigned an effect placeholder "empty"
* {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow }} - arrow not assigned any effect.
The uncraftable arrow doesn't differ from regular arrows in behavior when used as a projectile.

=== Spectral arrows ===
{{exclusive|java}}
A spectral arrow confers the [[Glowing]] status effect for 10 seconds. The Glowing effect creates an outline of the target, which is visible through blocks, and colored based on the target's [[team]] (white by default). Even if a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], spectral arrows are still consumed. Spectral arrows can be acquired through [[bartering]] or crafted by combining 4 [[Glowstone Dust#Crafting ingredient|glowstone dust]] with one arrow, yielding 2 spectral arrows.

== Trivia ==
* By default, arrows fly slightly offset to the right. If the player stands close to a wall and fires several arrows without moving the crosshair, the arrows cluster around a point slightly to the right of the crosshair. If the player switches their main hand to be the left hand in options, the arrows instead cluster to the left.
* Arrows fired at [[Nether Portal]]s often skip through the portal block completely and fail to collide, thus continuing through to the opposite side of the block.
* Arrows stuck in blocks vibrate upon a world reload.<ref>{{bug|MC-93992}} – "Arrow shakes when world loads" resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref>
* Although [[enderman|endermen]] teleport when hit by any tipped arrow, they are still given the said effects while avoiding arrow damage.
* {{IN|bedrock}}, even if a tipped arrow is blocked with a shield, while the direct damage from the arrows is negated, the player still gets the effect from the tipped arrow.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>

Anvil file format
The Anvil file format allows for biomes to be stored in the world data. In contrast, the Region file format relies on the seed to dynamically calculate biome placement. This would cause biome placement in older worlds to change when the biome generation code was changed. With the current Anvil format, the biome data is stored along with the rest of the world data, meaning it will not change after the world is generated and can be edited by third-party map-editing tools. Furthermore, "edge" biomes allow for biomes to continue extend beyond the edge chunks of an old world. This allows for smooth transitions in world generation after the generation code changes in an update.
Effect on gameplay
It can be difficult to play and gather sufficient resources if the player starts in the middle of a biome with no trees, such as deserts, tundras, and especially oceans.
There have been several reports of players spawning on tiny islands in the middle of a vast ocean with no trees for several Minecraft days in any direction. It appears that these desert islands generate in the Ocean biome, where animals cannot spawn (on the water); sometimes, the island spawns with no trees, forcing players to delete the world and start again, swim great distances to a landmass, or search for nearby underwater openings into abandoned mineshafts to acquire wood. Of course, this is not a problem if the player uses Creative Mode.
In contrast, spawning near a Mushroom Island biome grants the player a very large sanctuary from monsters, where they can build and mine with little fear. Of course, they will need to travel to other biomes for wood and other supplies, but once they have a bowl, their food supply is assured.
Bugs
- Sometimes, biomes may generate in invalid places.
- In the seed "Cylays99" there is an "ocean" biome with absolutely no connection to the real ocean. (Coordinates: X=-507, Z=-120)
- This also occurs in the seed "C99", but the coordinates are currently unlisted. (You might find it by going north.)
- This also occurs in the seed "-293740293" (Coordinates: X=340, Z=216)
- In the seed "Diamond", a small "jungle" is in the ocean, but not far away from land. (Coordinates: X=-124, Z=-1694)
- In the seed "New World" a thin "beach" is, like the "jungle" above, in the ocean, but not far from land. (Coordinates: X=5, Z=-406)
- In the seed "Cylays99" there is an "ocean" biome with absolutely no connection to the real ocean. (Coordinates: X=-507, Z=-120)
- Sometimes when editing the preset "Desert" under Superflat, if the player deletes the "Sandstone" layer, underground mine shafts will appear.
