Usage

Light

Four Candles (lit)

Candles can be used as a light source, emitting light like a sea pickle. A single candle emits a light level of 3. Up to four similarly-colored candles may be placed in one block, with each candle increasing the emitted light level by 3, for a maximum light level of 12. They also emit fire particles.

Candles are not lit when they are placed, and must be lit using flint and steel, fire charge, or any flaming projectile. Candles may be waterlogged, but waterlogged candles cannot be lit. Lit candles can be extinguished using water or by the player interacting with the candle.

Cakes

Candle Cake

A single candle of any color may be used onto an uneaten cake, turning it into a candle cake, which acts as a normal single candle. Only one candle may be placed on a cake. If the candle cake is eaten, the candle falls off. If the candle cake is destroyed, the respective candle is dropped.

A '''minecart with command block''' is an impulse{{only|java|short=y}} or repeating{{only|bedrock|education|short=y}} [[command block]] inside a [[minecart]].

== Obtaining ==

The minecart with command block is obtainable only using the [[command]] {{cmd|give @s command_block_minecart}}, as it does not appear in the creative inventory{{only|BE}} and has no [[crafting]] recipe. It can also be summoned using the command {{cmd|summon command_block_minecart}}. It can be broken like any other minecart, but only the minecart is retained, while the command block is lost.

== Usage ==
{{main|Command Block}}
The minecart with command block combines the functionalities of both minecarts and command blocks. Although the minecart visually contains an impulse command block, it functions more similarly to a repeating command block, and runs its command once every four game [[tick]]s when on an active [[activator rail]]. When it passes over a [[detector rail]] with a [[comparator]] connected next to it, it outputs the command block's result.

== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Minecarts with command blocks use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.<ref group="sound" name="rollsource">{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref>

'''Rabbit stew''' is a [[food]] [[item]] that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
  |shapeless=true

  |A2=Carrot
  |B2=Baked Potato
  |C2=Any Mushroom

}}

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level Butcher villagers always offer to sell rabbit stew for one emerald as their second trade.

{{IN|java}}, novice-level Butcher villagers have a 50% chance of offering rabbit stew for one emerald.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
To eat rabbit stew, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|10}} [[hunger]] and 12 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. This restores more hunger than any other food type in the game except [[cake]], but has less saturation than a [[golden carrot]], a [[cooked porkchop]], or a [[steak]].

Eating rabbit stew leaves the player with an empty bowl, similar to [[mushroom stew]], [[suspicious stew]], and [[beetroot soup]].

=== Wolves ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, rabbit stew can be used to feed [[wolves]], healing them by {{hp|10|mob=1}}. However, unlike other wolf food, rabbit stew does not speed up the growth of baby wolves, and it cannot be used to breed them. It is usable only on a wolf that has less than full health.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* If the ingredients of rabbit stew were eaten separately and the [[mushroom]] had become half of a [[mushroom stew]], they would restore a total of {{Hunger|16}} and 19.2 saturation points. Without counting the mushroom, the separate ingredients would restore {{Hunger|13}} and 15.6 saturation points. Therefore, crafting rabbit stew results in a net loss of restorative points, though it is quicker than eating all the ingredients separately.
* Rabbit stew restores more hunger and total food points (hunger + saturation) than nearly any other single item (the exception is a suspicious stew with Saturation).  This is balanced by the point that the stew does not stack, and with its complex recipe it's not so easy to make "on the road". The suspicious stew shares the unstackability, but with only four ingredients it can at least be crafted in the inventory.

Trivia

  • Candles are similar to the concept of burnt-out torches from the Halloween Update.
  • Using the command /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:candle[lit=true,waterlogged=true] allows for a both lit and waterlogged candle.
