This article describes content that may be included in a future update. 
This content has appeared in development versions, but the full update containing it has not been released yet.
This article is about the mineral block. For the ore, see Ancient Debris. For the scrap item, see Netherite Scrap. For the refined item, see Netherite Ingot.

A block of netherite is a precious metal block made from netherite ingots. Unlike most items, it is resistant to fire and lava.

Obtaining

Breaking

Blocks of netherite can be mined only with a diamond or netherite pickaxe. If a netherite block is mined with anything else, it drops nothing.

Crafting

Ingredients Crafting recipe
Netherite Ingot

Usage

Blocks of netherite can be used to store netherite ingots in a compact fashion.

Blocks of netherite have a blast resistance of 1,200, the same as obsidian, crying obsidian, ancient debris, respawn anchor, and enchanting tables. Unlike obsidian, block of netherite (and ancient debris) can be moved with pistons, which makes it useful in redstone builds. Netherite can be destroyed with TNT when it is moving (by pistons). This is likely a bug.

It is destroyed by a wither's blue skulls and on contact with a wither.

Beacons

Blocks of netherite can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of netherite blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely netherite blocks, as they may also contain iron blocks, gold blocks, diamond blocks, or emerald blocks.

{{Item
| image = Debug Stick.gif

The '''debug stick''' is an [[item]] used to edit the [[block states]] of [[block]]s. It is visually identical to a regular [[stick]], but with a glint (as if [[Enchanting|enchanted]]).

== Obtaining ==

The debug stick is obtainable via [[commands]] such as {{cmd|/give}} or {{Cmd|/item}}, or the Creative inventory if the player has the appropriate permissions. It can be obtained only in worlds with cheats on.

== Usage ==

The debug stick can be used to change block states. {{control|Hitting}} the block allows players to select the block state key they wish to change, for an example, switching between the ''conditional'' and the ''facing'' block state keys for a [[command block]]. {{control|Using}} the block allows them to cycle through the valid values for the block state key, again as an example, the player can make the command block face, ''down'', ''east'', ''north'', ''south'', ''up'', or ''west'' if they chose the ''facing'' block state key. {{control|Sneaking}} while {{control|hitting}} or {{control|using}} cycles through the block state keys or values in reverse order.

It is notable that {{Control|using}} debug stick directly on an interactive block without {{Control|sneaking}} uses the block itself instead of the stick.<ref>{{bug|MC-200199}} </ref>

The debug stick cannot be used while in Survival or Adventure mode. It works only in creative mode with cheats enabled. In modes other than Creative, it acts like a regular item — although when {{control|using}} it on a block, the player swings the stick as if interacting with it (but nothing happens).

'''Dried kelp''' is a [[food]] item that can be quickly eaten by the [[player]]. It can also be crafted into [[Dried Kelp Block|dried kelp blocks]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Cooking ===
[[Kelp]] can be cooked in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or [[campfire]]. Each piece of dried kelp removed from a furnace output slot gives 0.1 [[experience]] (6.4 experience per stack).

A '''minecart with chest''' is a single [[chest]] inside a [[minecart]], and functions as such.

== Natural generation ==
Minecarts with chests containing loot naturally generate in [[mineshaft]]s, each on top of a piece of [[rail]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting|Chest|Minecart|Output=Minecart with Chest|type=Transportation}}

Minecarts with chests can be retrieved by attacking them. By doing so it drops as an [[item]] and any other contents of the chest are dropped as well.

==Usage==
[[File:Minecart with Chest GUI.png|thumb|176px|The GUI of a minecart with chest.]]
Minecarts with chests can be placed by {{control|use item|text=using its item}} on any type of [[rail]].

Chest minecarts' contents can be accessed by pressing {{control|use item}} button on them. The interaction makes no sounds and the chest does not show the opening or closing animation, unlike regular chests.

The boost that minecarts with chests gain from [[powered rail]]s is dependent on their load. For example, from a 1 powered rail starter track, an empty minecart with chest travels 64 blocks, but a full minecart with chest travels only 16 blocks (opposed to 80 blocks for an occupied normal minecart and 8 blocks for an empty normal minecart).

Another physical property of chest minecarts is their ability to be stacked. While three chests can fit in an area three blocks tall, up to four chest minecarts can fit in the same area. Like other minecarts, an unlimited number of minecarts with chests can exist in the same block space.

Minecarts with chests are also able to interact with [[hopper]]s. Hoppers can take items out from the minecart chest if they are below the track as the minecart rolls over it or put them in if the minecart rolls under a downward facing hopper. Hoppers can also input items if they are facing into the side of the minecart.

Opening or destroying a minecart with chest angers [[piglin]]s.

{{See also|Tutorials/Storage minecarts}}

When on top of [[detector rail]]s, nearby [[redstone comparators]] will give out redstone signals based on how full the minecarts with chests are.

{{LootChestItem|book-and-quill}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Writing ===

By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.

Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]). 

The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.

In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].

=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}

Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text. 
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.

=== Signing ===

Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].

Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.

The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a book and quill in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* The in-game restrictions on books are not hard limits. Third party editors or commands can make books have more than 100 pages{{only|java}} (2,147,483,639 pages), more than 256 characters per page (32,767 characters per page), can change author names, and can have colored titles, among other things. These books still function properly in vanilla ''Minecraft'', meaning the [[player]] may encounter such books on adventure maps or multiplayer servers.<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1189266-hacking-books</ref>
* If the player renames a book and quill in an anvil before signing it, it retains the name from the anvil instead of taking the name from signing.{{only|java}}
