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, and sky and foliage colors. 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
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 | 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 dandelions 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. Sugar cane can be found if the desert is next to an ocean or river biome. 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. As of the Horse Update, lakes do not generate in this biome, although lava lakes still can. |
| Plains | A relatively flat biome with rolling hills and much tall grass but with few trees. Gullies, water holes, and NPC villages are common. Cave openings and water or lava springs are easily identifiable due to its unobstructed terrain. Passive mobs spawn often in plains biomes, and it is also the only biome where horses spawn naturally. |
| Swampland
Witch Huts, Oak Trees, Grass, Vines, Lily Pads, Clay, Mushrooms, Slimes, |
A biome characterized by a mix of flat, dry areas 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. The colors of the water, grass, leaves, and vines are much darker than in other biomes. Trees are often covered with vines and can be found growing out from the water, and mushrooms and sugar canes are very abundant. Witch huts spawn exclusively in swamps, and slimes will also spawn naturally at night, most commonly on full moons.. |
| Jungle
Jungle Trees, Jungle Temples, 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 2x2 thick 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 naturally 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.
Warning: If you have a slow computer or your :OS folder is 90% full or more, venturing into a jungle may crash Minecraft, or worse, your computer. |
| 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 canes 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 their size and the scarcity of wood, initial survival becomes difficult in comparison to other biomes. |
| Taiga
Snow, Snowfall, Ice, Spruce Trees, Flowers, Wolves |
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 more frequently in this biome. |
| Extreme Hills (Mountains) | A highly mountainous biome (with some mountains reaching y=124) with dull green-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 are the only biomes where emerald ores and silverfish can be found naturally. In 1.7, Spruce trees will generate in this biome. |
| 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. Passive mobs are unable to spawn on these islands, but hostiles can. Cavern entrances can be found seldomly at the bottom of the ocean. Oceans can also be generated as technical biomes, appearing as deep ponds on beaches. In the Xbox 360 version, they surround the edges of the map. |
| Mushroom Island | This rare biome consists of a mixture of flat landscape and steep hills and has mycelium instead of grass as its surface. However, if you do place down grass, it is a very bright green color compared to other biomes. Mushroom islands are always adjacent to an ocean and 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 hostile mobs. This also applies to caves, abandoned mine shafts, and other structures underground, meaning exploring underground is relatively safe. However, monster spawners will still spawn mobs, and the player will still be able to breed animals and spawn mobs using items. 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 (Nether)
Magma Cubes, Netherrack, Glowstone, Soul Sand, Nether Brick, Gravel, Nether Quartz, Ghasts, Blazes, Zombie Pigmen, Nether Fortress, Wither Skeletons |
This is the biome used to generate the Nether. Most of the terrain is composed entirely of expansive terrain of netherrack at all altitudes, though also spawns Nether quartz. 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, and magma cubes 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. |
| Sky (The End)
End Stone, Endermen, Obsidian, Ender Crystals, The Ender Dragon |
This biome is used to generate The End. Only Endermen and the Ender Dragon spawn in this biome. However, most of the End's structure is provided by the dimension rather than the biome. If the biome is used for a superflat world, the sky will be dark gray, an Ender Dragon will spawn at 0,0 coordinates in the Overworld, and only Endermen will spawn (at night), but the world structure will be as specified in the superflat custom options, with no obsidian towers nor Ender Crystals.
The End itself is composed almost entirely of a finite, floating landmass of End Stone, studded with obsidian towers, each bearing an Ender Crystal. There is no bedrock "floor", so anything that falls off the floating island will fall into the Void. |
Upcoming biomes
In 1.7, several biomes will be added and tweaked, and the code for the world generator will be changed. The list of added biomes below currently contains 3 biomes. Until biomes are in snapshots, generic names can be given as an identification.
| Name and Features | Description and Sample Image |
|---|---|
| Clay Mountains
Dead Bush, Hardened Clay, 6 colors of Stained Clay |
Clay mountains are an upcoming biome in 1.7 made of hardened clay and stained clay, with dead bushes around similar to a desert. It is a good way to get hardened clay, due to clay being rare. |
| Redwood Forest | Jeb tweeted an image of a new biome, unofficially dubbed the Redwood Forest.[4] This biome is an upcoming feature in 1.7, and is composed of spruce trees, some of which are 2x2 thick. Mossy cobblestone appears frequently in clusters, and a new block called podzol can be found in this biome. There will also be dirt that will not naturally turn into grass. |
| Cliff | Jeb tweeted an image of a new technical biome, called the Cliff.[5] This biome is an upcoming feature in 1.7, and is composed of vertical cliffs of stone. |
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, although there are less-technical biomes.
| Name | Description and Sample Image |
|---|---|
| River | A biome that consists of water blocks that form in an elongated, curving shape similar to a real 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. Rarely, they can have no connection to the ocean and form a circle. They have no current. Rivers are also a reliable source of clay. These biomes are good for fishing. |
| Frozen River | This variant of the river only spawns in tundra biomes. The surface layer of water is frozen. |
| Beach | Generated on the shores of oceans, beaches are composed of sand. Beaches penetrate the landscape, removing the original blocks and placing in sand blocks. These are also useful for fishing. Beaches are usually a lot bigger in a Taiga biome. For the history of beaches, see the Beach page. |
| 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. |
| 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, with height comparable to Extreme Hills biomes. In update 1.3 hills generated in forest and desert biomes are now taller. |
Biome numbers
Each type of biome, including technical biomes, has its own biome number, shown in the following table. These biome numbers are used when creating a customized superflat world.
| Number | Biome |
|---|---|
| 0 | Ocean |
| 1 | Plains |

History
Biome history
A very old image of biomes work-in-progress. "To the right of the player is a taiga, to the left is either a forest, or woods, I can’t remember. In the distance is probably tundra." ~ Notch
Notch, when he was the lead developer of Minecraft, wanted to add biomes, but he couldn't for a long time. He says the intersection points looked terrible and so, biomes weren't added in the Seecret Updates.[citation needed]

{{Item
| image = Knowledge Book.png
| renewable = No

| rarity = Epic
}}
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.

'''Charcoal''' is an [[item]] obtained by smelting [[log]]s or [[wood]]. It is used as fuel, or for crafting [[torch]]es and [[campfire]]s. Unlike [[coal]], charcoal cannot be traded with [[villager]]s or crafted into a [[block of coal]]. Coal and charcoal also cannot stack together. It can be used as a substitute for coal, as both charcoal and coal have an equivalent duration when smelted.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A [[campfire]] broken without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment drops 2 charcoal.
=== Smelting ===

=== Fuel ===
When used in a [[furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of charcoal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), the same as coal. Charcoal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[wood planks]] or [[wood]] logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting in ''[[Java Edition]]'', but outstripped by [[wooden slabs]] in Bedrock.
Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecart with Furnace|furnace minecarts]]. They provide approximately four minutes of transit each.

'''Flint''' is a mineral obtained from [[gravel]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
When a block of [[gravel]] is mined, there is a 10% chance for a single piece of flint to drop instead of the [[gravel]] block. When mined with a [[Fortune]]-enchanted tool, this chance increases to 16% at Fortune I, 25% at Fortune II, and 100% at Fortune III. Gravel mined using a tool with [[Silk Touch]] or gravel that fell on a non-solid block never produces flint.
=== Trading ===
Novice-level [[Trading#Fletcher|fletcher]] [[villager]]s have a 50%{{only|bedrock}} or {{frac|2|3}}{{only|java}} chance to offer 10 pieces of flint for 10 blocks of gravel and an [[emerald]].

== Usage ==
[[File:Natural Fire Charge.png|200px|thumb|Dispensing Fire Charge]]
Fire charges can be used as ammunition for [[dispenser]]s, or as a substitute for [[flint and steel]].
When used, it instantly places a [[fire]], similar to flint and steel. The fire charge is consumed in the process. It can prime [[TNT]], light [[Nether portal|nether portals]], [[Campfire|campfires]], [[Candle|candles]], [[Cake|cakes with candles]] and [[creeper]]s{{only|JE}} like flint and steel.
When a fire charge is fired from a dispenser, it shoots a [[small fireball]].

{{Item
| image = Name Tag.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}}
A '''name tag''' is an [[item]] used to name [[mob]]s in the world and prevent them from despawning naturally.
== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|name-tag}}
=== Fishing ===
Name tags can be caught from [[fishing]] as part of the treasure category with a {{frac|1|6}} chance after the 5% chance of being a treasure catch. The chance of catching treasure increases with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment.
=== Trading ===
Master-level librarian [[villagers]] offer to sell a name tag for 20 [[emerald]]s as one of their available trades.
== Usage ==
To use a name tag, it must first be renamed with an [[anvil]], costing 1 [[experience]] level.
If it is not renamed, it has no effect when used on a mob. After the name tag is renamed, the player can {{control|use}} it on a mob to give it the name given to the name tag from the anvil. Mobs and name tags can be renamed any number of times. Name tags with the same name are stackable.
Once a mob is named, it keeps its name, and the name tag is consumed.
When a mob is named, it is excluded from the mob cap count.
Effects on various mobs:
* A named [[silverfish]] that goes into a block appears to lose its name because it is replaced by a newly generated unnamed silverfish when the block is broken.
* A baby (animal or villager) keeps its name when becoming an adult.
** A named [[villager]] keeps its name when transformed into a [[Zombie Villager|zombie villager]].
** A named zombie villager keeps its name when cured.
* [[Wandering Trader|Wandering trader]]s still despawn even if they are named, or in a [[minecart]] or [[boat]].
* A named [[wither]]'s boss bar displays its name instead of "Wither".
* Naming an [[ender dragon]] with commands also displays the name in the boss bar.
=== Limitations ===
Any mob can be named except for the [[ender dragon]] and [[player]]s.
A name tag can rename an [[armor stand]], though it does not show the nameplate above its head until <code>CustomNameVisible:1b</code> is set as an extra step.
{{control|Using|use}} a name tag on a villager renames the villager instead of opening the trading interface. A saddled pig is renamed instead of being ridden. Using a name tag on any other mob that can be interacted with performs the {{control|use}} action instead of being named. These mobs can be renamed if the player uses the name tag while crouching or standing in a [[nether portal]] because the portal suppresses the {{control|use}} action.
Once a name tag is used on a mob, it is impossible to remove the name of that mob without the use of commands or external modifications.
=== Behavior ===
Renamed mobs have their name displayed over their head in the same fashion as a mob named through a renamed [[spawn egg]]. Their names can be seen only if they are aimed at from four or fewer blocks away.
Mobs that are named using the name tag never despawn in the world, similar to tamed mobs.<ref>{{tweet|dinnerbone|327485109940916226}}</ref> The exceptions are [[wandering trader]]s or if the mob is hostile and the difficulty is switched to "[[Peaceful]]", causing any hostile mobs or any named hostile mobs to despawn immediately.
If a renamed mob kills a player, the custom name is used in the death message in place of the mob type name. For instance, if a vindicator named "Johnny" kills a player, the death message is "Player was slain by Johnny".
A renamed [[wither]] also has a renamed health bar, and the boss bar doesn't regenerate{{verify}}.
=== Easter eggs ===
* Any mob that receives the name "[[Easter eggs#Upside-down mobs|Dinnerbone]]" or "[[Easter eggs#Upside-down mobs|Grumm]]" is rendered upside down. This even includes the player in early versions of Bedrock Edition if the username is set to either of these and you are not signed into Xbox Live.
* Naming a [[sheep]] "[[Easter eggs#Jeb sheep|jeb_]]" causes its wool to fade between the dye colors, producing a rainbow effect. The [[wool]] that drops when the sheep is [[shear]]ed or killed is the original color of the sheep before the sheep was named.
* Naming a [[rabbit]] "[[Rabbit#Toast|Toast]]" causes it to have a special memorial skin of user xyzen420's girlfriend's [http://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/27hjog/to_themogminer_my_bunny_is_missing_please_help_me/ missing rabbit].
* Naming a [[vindicator]] "Johnny" causes it to be aggressive and attack all [[mob]]s including the wither (except [[ghast]]s and other [[illager]]s). The hostility even extends to [[Ravager|ravagers]] in [[Java Edition|''Java Edition'']], as the "Johnny" vindicator can also attack the ravager while it's riding it.

* Name tags were added at the request of [https://www.youtube.com/user/paulsoaresjr/ Paulsoaresjr].<ref>{{tweet|paulsoaresjr|326865482839883777}}</ref><ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|326812168630722561}}</ref>
* A stack of up to 64 name tags can be renamed at once. The cost is 1 [[experience]] level per stack, regardless of how many name tags were stacked.
* To name a [[mob]] “Name Tag” the player must give the name tag a random name, then rename it back to “Name Tag”.
* A [[villager]] with a name tag turned into a [[zombie villager]] by a [[zombie]] with a name tag does not despawn, but a villager with a name tag turned into a zombie by a zombie without a name tag does despawn.
* It is impossible to have a rainbow [[sheep]] upside-down, because it is impossible for it to be named “Jeb_” and “Dinnerbone” at the same time.

'''Phantom membranes''' are items obtained from killing [[phantom]]s. They are used to repair [[elytra]] and brew [[Potion of Slow Falling|potions of Slow Falling]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Phantom]]s drop 0–1 phantom membrane when killed by a [[player]] or tamed [[wolf]]. [[Looting]] increases the maximum drops by 1 per level, for a maximum of 4 with Looting III.
=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance to bring the player a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 3.22% chance to be a phantom membrane.
== Usage ==
=== Repairing ===
Phantom membranes can be used in an [[anvil]] to repair [[elytra]], restoring 108 durability points (25% of the pair's total durability) per membrane while preserving their [[enchantments]].

'''Cake''' is a [[food]] and a block that can be eaten by the player.
A '''cake with candle''' is a light-producing variation created when a [[candle]] is used on an uneaten cake.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Once the cake is placed, it cannot be recollected even with the use of [[Silk Touch]]. Candle cakes always drop their respective [[candle]] when broken.

}}
=== Trading ===
Expert-level farmer [[villager]]s can [[trading|sell]] cake for a single [[emerald]] each. The chance is {{frac|2|7}} {{in|je}}.
== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management}}
Unlike most [[food]], the cake cannot be eaten as an [[item]] in the hotbar. Before being eaten, it must first be placed on top of a solid [[block]]. Placing the cake on a slab also works, as the slab acts like a solid block. The cake instead floats half a block on top of the slab.
Each cake has seven "slices"; each use consumes one slice progressing inward from the west. A single slice restores {{hunger|2}} hunger and 0.4 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. Eating all seven slices of a cake restores {{hunger|14}} hunger and 2.8 hunger saturation.
Since eating a cake comes with no animation, the cake can be eaten at a rate of one slice per [[tick]]. Multiple [[player]]s can eat from the same cake at the same time. {{IN|java}}, eating cake makes no [[sound]], unlike other foods.
As a [[redstone]] component, when connected to a [[comparator]], a whole cake emits a signal strength of 14. The signal strength decreases two units with each slice.
Cake destroys [[Entity#Falling Blocks|falling blocks]] if placed under them, similar to a [[torch]].
=== Pandas ===
Some [[panda]]s move toward a dropped cake to pick up and eat it. Some may not, depending on the cake's location.
=== Composting ===
Placing a cake into a [[composter]] raises the compost level by 1.
=== Piston interactivity ===
A cake is broken when pushed by a [[piston]], and it drops nothing.
=== Cakes with candles ===
[[File:Cake with Candle.png|thumb|upright|A cake with candle created by placing a candle on an uneaten cake.]]
{{control|Using}} a [[candle]] on an uneaten cake creates a candle cake of that color (including uncolored). Eating the cake causes the candle to drop.
{{control|Using}} [[flint and steel]], [[fire charge]], or any flaming projectile on an unlit candle cake lights its candle. Lit candle cakes emit light level of 3. Clicking on the lit candle (but not the cake) extinguishes it.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
=== Interaction ===
* Because cake is only {{frac|7|8}} blocks wide, it is possible to stand on the edge of a [[block]] beneath a cake.
* It is possible to place cake on top of another cake by placing a cake on the ground, then placing another cake on the side of a block above and to the side of the first cake, similar to placing [[torch]]es on a [[chest]]. Eating the lower cake causes the upper cake to disappear, as does mining out the block of cake it is sitting on.
* It is also possible to place any block on top of cakes (including another cake) by [[sneaking]] and placing the block on top of a cake.
* [[Mob]]s on top of cakes rotate while attempting to move, a pathfinding oversight shared with [[fence]]s.
* If cake is placed in a hole one block deep, players can get across the hole without jumping, although a player standing on the cake must jump to get out of the hole.
* Cake can be used to create a functioning staircase, by placing a cake on each level of a 1 block by 1 block incline. This would be one of the most labor-intensive staircases available, given the requirements to craft a cake, compared to any other method of creating a staircase. This staircase is also extremely overpowered when combined with a horse being one of the fastest forms of travel.
*At some point, it was possible to push cakes into the void using pistons.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxniEMGBXC4&t=340s</ref>
=== Miscellaneous ===
[[File:IOTY.png|thumb|100px|The 2010 Indie of the Year Awards logo.]]
* Cake was added to ''[[Minecraft]]'' following the ModDB [[2010 Indie of the Year Awards]]. [[Notch]] agreed to add cake to ''Minecraft'' if it won, which led to a campaign called "The Quest For Cake". ''Minecraft'' won 3 of the 7 awards, including the "Indie of the Year" award.
* Placing a cake makes the same sound as placing [[wool]].
* The player can place cake on top of a [[bed]], and while [[sleeping]], the cake shows on the player's screen as if it were on top of their head.
* The name of the achievement for crafting a cake is a reference to the internet meme "The Cake is a Lie", which originated from [[wikipedia:Valve Corporation|Valve Software's]] game, ''[[wikipedia:Portal (video game)#Plot|Portal]]''.
* On May 17, 2019, for the [https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/10th-anniversary 10th anniversary] of ''Minecraft'', the cake [[model]] was changed to display a "10" above it, made of [[white concrete]].
* Unlike most foods, cakes don't count towards the advancement "[[A Balanced Diet]]" {{in|java}}.<ref>{{bug|MC-117561}}</ref>

}}
'''Honeycombs''' are items obtained from [[bee nest]]s and beehives.
== Obtaining ==
{{See also|Tutorials/Honey farming}}
When a bee nest or beehive at {{cd|honey_level}} 5 is [[shear]]ed, it drops 3 honeycombs and angers any bees inside, causing them to attack. Having a lit [[campfire]] or lighting a fire underneath the nest or hive prevents the bees from becoming hostile.
A [[dispenser]] with shears inside can be used to shear the nest without angering the bees. The honeycomb pops out as a dropped item.
== Usage ==
=== Signs ===
{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[sign]] or a hanging sign prevents the sign from being edited.
=== Waxing ===
{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[block of copper]] changes the block into its waxed variant, preventing oxidation of the copper.

A '''head''' or '''skull''' is a [[block]] modeled after the head of a specific [[entity]]. There are seven types of heads: [[player]] ([[Steve]]'s head by default), [[zombie]], [[skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[creeper]], [[piglin]], and [[dragon]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A mob head can be mined using any item,<ref>{{bug|MC-192905||Heads & Skulls have no assigned tool}}</ref> and drops itself when broken.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mob Head|sprite=Heads}}
If a head is pushed by a [[piston]] or comes in contact with [[water]] or [[lava]], it breaks off as an [[item (entity)|item]].
When destroyed by an [[explosion]], the head ''always'' drops as an item.
===Natural generation===
Dragon heads generate on [[end ships]] found in [[End City|end cities]].
Skeleton skulls can generate in [[ancient cities]], which sometimes generate in the [[deep dark]].
=== Mob loot ===
A [[wither skeleton]] has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]]. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. {{IN|bedrock}}, the chance is increased by 2% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III.
[[Skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[zombie]], [[creeper]] and [[piglin]] heads are always dropped by the respective mob if it dies due to a [[charged creeper]]'s explosion. {{IN|bedrock}}, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however {{in|java}} only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>{{bug|MC-63534|||WAI}}</ref> If an [[ender dragon]] or a [[player]] is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head.<ref name=":0">{{bug|MC-132933|||WAI}}</ref>
==Usage ==
===Decoration===
Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[sign]]s. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.
When placed and powered by redstone, the piglin and dragon heads plays an animation. The piglin head flaps its ears (2 times per second for the right ear and 2.5 times per second for the left ear) while the dragon head opens and closes its mouth repeatedly (2 times per second). The same animation occurs when worn by a (horizontally) moving player, zombie, skeleton, or [[armor stand]] (note: the animation does not play if the <code>NoGravity</code> tag is set to 1)
=== Wearing ===
{{See also|#Renders}}
The player can wear heads, similarly to [[pumpkin]]s or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[skin]].
====Disguise====
Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range for [[skeleton]]s (but not [[wither skeleton]]s), [[creeper]]s, [[zombie]]s, and [[piglin]]s to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from [[sneaking]] and from the [[Invisibility]] status effect.
{{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any mob head or carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[map]].
=== Withers===
{{FakeImage|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Sand|www|sss| s }}|Wither build configuration}}
[[Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, and putting 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical. The last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither, by placing the final skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.
===Dispensers===
A [[dispenser]] can equip a mob head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.
[[Dispenser]]s can also complete the construction of a wither.

===Enchantments===
Mob heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]].
{| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right"

!Max Level
![[Enchanting|Method]]
|-
|[[Curse of Binding]]
|I
|{{Inventory slot|Anvil}}

|[[Curse of Vanishing]]
|I
|{{Inventory slot|Anvil}}
|-
|}
=== Note blocks ===
Placing a head above a [[note block]] causes the note block to play the corresponding mob's {{cd|ambient}} sound when activated. The only exception is the creeper head; as creepers don't make {{cd|ambient}} sounds, the note block plays the {{cd|primed}} (hissing) sound instead.
The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.
==Player skins==
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
Human heads have an extra usage for map makers, they can be given [[Chunk format#Entity Format|NBT data]] so that they appear with the skin of any ''Minecraft'' account. This means if a player knows that a specific account has a head that is desired to display, the NBT data can be edited to make it appear.
The command to give the player a head with the skin of another player is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"<''PlayerName''>"} }}. Commonly, this kind of head is called a custom head.
Another command to give the player a head with another player's skin is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Id:"<''PlayerUUID''>",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"<''SkinURL''>"}]} } } }}. ''SkinURL'' is a string encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64] containing the URL of the player's skin.<ref>Example: {"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"<nowiki>http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/292009a4925b58f02c77dadc3ecef07ea4c7472f64e0fdc32ce5522489362680"}}}</ref> A player head saves the skin of the player from the time it was created, meaning if the player changes their skin, the head still displays the original texture.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|464414369452142592|Skulls are a snapshot of the skin as it was made; just change your skin, make a skull, and change your skin back. That's intended behaviour.|May 8, 2014}}</ref> This kind of head is generally called a custom head.
Note that it is therefore necessary to be connected to the internet to load the texture of a skin, whatever the property used.
When they are loaded for the first time by the client, the skins textures are cached in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolders)\(files)}}.
If the client does not have access to the internet when it first loads, the player's head displays a regular head (Steve's skin) which is also cached.
Afterwards, even if the client reconnects to the internet, in order to display the skin correctly, it is necessary to clear the cache manually by deleting the recently created files in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolder)}}, then restarting the game.
===Marc's Head Format ===
[[File:Allmobheads.png|thumb|right|Most of the MHF mob heads provided.]]
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}
[[Marc Watson]] created a number of accounts with specific skins so map makers could use common heads without the risk of someone changing their skins.<ref>{{reddit|1m0itx/twitter_marc_irl_mapmakers_would_it_be_useful|cc4m1cq|I'm here to make it so that people don't have to worry about having a consistent account whose skin might change.|Marc_IRL|September 9, 2013}}</ref> Nowadays, since heads do not update the skin if a player changes their skin, this is not something map-makers need to worry about, though these skins are still useful. These accounts have names in the format <code>MHF_<''Name''></code>, for example <code>MHF_PigZombie</code> is the name of a ''Minecraft'' user with a [[zombified piglin]] head. MHF stands for "Marc's Head Format".<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|377453670410891264|head format. I needed to pick a prefix that was short and not already taken by other usernames.|September 10, 2013}}</ref> There are also a few blocks and "bonus" heads, for more variety. These player heads have not been updated in compliance with the [[Texture Update]], and are outdated.
Because these are names of player accounts, these heads are obtained or placed using the <code>SkullOwner</code> tag, for instance: {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"MHF_''<Name>''"}<nowiki />}}.
The following names/heads have been made available:<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|542330244473311232|For those following the MHF list, I have presents for you. Full list of accounts I've made: http://pastebin.com/5mug6EBu|December 9, 2014}}</ref>

=== Skull "item" ===
{{:Technical blocks/Skull}}
==Issues==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* Heads do not have their own textures and take their textures from other objects.
* When [[breaking]] any head, the particle effect of breaking it is the same as [[soul sand]].
* Despite there being a default Steve head, heads for the other protagonist skins cannot be obtained without using custom names.
* {{IN|be}}, the skull variant for the item is stored under the {{cd|damage}} component, normally used for items with [[durability]].

An '''armor stand''' is an inanimate [[entity]] that can wear [[armor]]. It can also hold [[Item|items]] and be posed (but these are not possible in [[Survival]] in [[Java Edition]]).
== Obtaining ==
An armor stand can be broken by quickly {{control|attack|text=attacking}} it twice, dropping itself and any armor placed onto it.
=== Crafting ===

|C1= Stick

}}
=== Natural generation ===
Two armor stands are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one equipped with an [[iron helmet]], the other with an [[iron chestplate]].
== Usage ==
[[Player]]s can use armor stands to hold [[armor]], [[mob head]]s, [[carved pumpkin]]s, and [[elytra]]. [[Commands]] can be used to give them other [[item]]s. The stand does not have a GUI, so players interact with it directly. Armor stands are also able to be placed in different orientations, similar to [[banner]]s or [[sign]]s. Armor stands are [[entity|entities]], allowing them to be pushed by [[piston]]s, moved by flowing [[water]], pulled with [[fishing rod]]s, pushed by players (with knockback), and bounced by [[slime block]]s.
{{Control|use|text=Using}} armor on the stand places the armor if done on a bare spot. Conversely, clicking on armor with a bare hand removes the armor and places it in the highlighted hotbar slot. It is not possible to take or place items from the armor stand's hands unless playing on Bedrock Edition.
Armor, mob heads, or carved pumpkins can be automatically placed on armor stands with a [[dispenser]].
Armor stands can be customized further to have arms, pose, disobey gravity, dual wield and other things by summoning them using {{cmd|summon}} with [[Chunk format#ArmorStand|NBT tags]].
In maps heavily using [[command blocks]], armor stands can be used to keep [[scoreboard]] objectives that are 'global' to the map, run [[commands]], etc.
{{IN|bedrock}}, the pose of the armor stand can be changed by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Pose|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while sneaking, or by using a redstone signal. There are 13 possible poses. Armor stands can also hold items by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Equip|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while holding an item that cannot be worn.
;<nowiki>Below are the poses:

== Behavior ==
Because armor stands are entities, they obey gravity, allowing them to fall and rest on non-full [[block]]s such as [[enchanting table]]s, [[snow layer]]s and [[slab]]s.
Any [[armor]] on the stand drops when the stand is broken. Armor stands can display [[enchanting|enchanted]] and all forms of [[dye]]d armor. The effects of most enchanted armor have no effect when on an armor stand, with three exceptions:
* [[Frost Walker]] creates [[frosted ice]] blocks on [[water]] as usual if an armor stand is pushed with a [[piston]].
* [[Depth Strider]] slows the movement of the armor stand when being pushed with water.
* A [[player]] may take damage from hitting an armor stand that holds armor enchanted with [[Thorns]].
Armor stands are not damaged by [[cacti]] but can be broken by [[arrow]]s. An armor stand destroyed by an explosion or a firework does not drop as an [[item (entity)|item]]. Armor stands in water and [[lava]] at the same time are not consumed by the lava.
{{IN|be}}, armor stands can be affected by [[status effect]]s. They can be 'killed' by [[Harming]] and [[Decay]] [[splash potion|splash]]/[[lingering potion]]s, lava, [[fire]], and [[campfire]]s, and they play the player death sound and fall to their side and disappear, yielding no armor stand item. If an armor stand is equipped with an item or armor, that item or armor is considered as "naturally-spawned equipment" with an 8.5% chance of dropping when the armor stand "dies" from the [[Instant Damage]] or the [[Wither (status effect)|Wither]] status effect. If the dropped item is any form of [[weapon]], [[tool]] or armor, it drops in a badly damaged state because the game considers it as "naturally-spawned equipment".<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-24341}}</ref>
The stand wobbles slightly when being hit by the player.
{{IN|java}}, it is possible to create an armor stand with arms using the {{cmd|summon}} [[command]]. It is also possible to change an armor stand without arms into a stand with arms by using the {{cmd|data}} command. The commands are as follows:
* <code>/data merge entity @e[type=armor_stand,sort=nearest,limit=1] {ShowArms:1}</code>, which changes the nearest armor stand into an armor stand with arms.
* <code>/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {ShowArms:1}</code>, which summons a new armor stand with arms shown.
*<code>/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Rotation:[0.0f]}</code>, which summons a new armor stand that faces a desired direction (dependent on changing "0.0f" to other numbers like "90.0f" or "180.0f", otherwise it faces the same way as a default armor stand).
== Sounds ==

Armor stands use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* Equipping armor stands with certain [[block]]s and [[item]]s can cause rendering glitches. According to [[Searge]] this is due to transparent rendering on entities not yet being supported.<ref>{{bug|MC-67415||"Armor Stands with Slime Block rendering entities behind them"}} resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-67674||"Armor Stand wearing a Skull and Holding Stained Glass causes Graphical issues"}} resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref>
* Bedrock Edition has a version exclusive armor stand [[model]], which includes posable arms.
*Using [[redstone]] to change the stands reverse the poses, starting with the can-can pose first.
*Placing the stand within three powered [[redstone dust]] always changes its pose to the honor pose. [[Redstone Repeater|Repeaters]] also switch the stand to the honor pose if not set four blocks from one.
*Using external tools, armor stand spawners can be placed.
*Secret signatures for [[Jasper Boerstra|JAPPA]], Chi Wong, and [[Michael Stoyke|Searge]] can be found at the bottom of the armor stand texture.

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.
Issues
Issues relating to "Biome" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
