This feature used to be in the game but has since been removed.

Template:Useless

A Gear (Cog in Infdev versions of Minecraft), was a block that was leaked and was supposed to be added to Indev, but was never added. Although the code existed, but it could only get obtained. Gears were first seen at this point of this video, being placed onto the wall of a cliff. A Gear's sprite consisted of two parts; the center rod and the animated gear.

Gears could only be placed on a side of a block, placing them in a space where two sides are next to each other would cause two Gears to appear on both sides. Gears did not do anything and could not be obtained without hacking one's inventory. Placed Gears were impossible to destroy; any mining directed at a Gear phased through to the block behind it, much like Water. If the block a Gear was on was destroyed, the Gear was not removed, but oddly, was invisible. The Gear still existed in the map and would show up again if the block was replaced. Gears placed in mid-air using a map editor were also invisible and would show up if a block was placed next to them. Gears can be only removed using water to flow on them. Gears do not show up on non-solid blocks.

Gears were deemed removed from the game when their data value was taken by Redstone and their sprites and code deleted from Minecraft's files. It is unknown what gears' real purpose was, and will never be known due to them being removed. It is impossible in all recent versions to obtain gears or see them first-hand.

A '''goat horn''' is an [[item]] dropped by [[goat]]s. It has eight variants, and each plays a unique sound when {{Control|used}} which can be heard by [[Player|players]] in a large radius.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
A horn is dropped when an adult [[goat]] rams a tree or any other hard block that occurs naturally where goats spawn. These include [[stone]], [[coal ore]], [[copper ore]], [[iron ore]], [[emerald ore]], [[log]], or [[packed ice]]. Goats do not ram other solid blocks. {{IN|java}}, these blocks are listed under the {{cd|snaps_goat_horn}} [[tag]], and can be modified by [[data pack]]s.

Up to two horns can be dropped from an adult goat. Regular goats may drop the Ponder, Sing, Seek, and Feel horns, while screaming goats drop the Admire, Call, Yearn, and Dream horns. A specific goat drops only one type of horn; that is, if a goat drops a Sing horn, its other horn is also a Sing horn.

=== Natural generation ===
{{LootChestItem|goat-horn}}
Only the four variants from regular goats can be found here.

== Usage ==
When {{control|used}}, they play a loud sound that can be heard from up to 256 blocks, but are also limited by the server view distance. Each horn variant plays a unique sound. There are eight variants, four of which are exclusive to [[Goat#Spawning|screaming goats]].

There is a cooldown of seven seconds between each use of the horn. All goat horns are affected by this cooldown.

A '''rabbit's foot''' is a [[brewing]] item obtained from [[rabbit]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
Each [[rabbit]] has a 10% chance to drop a rabbit's foot when killed by the [[player]]. This chance can be increased by 3% per level using a sword enchanted with [[Looting]].

A [[fox]] sometimes spawns with a rabbit's foot in its mouth, which always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, which causes the fox to drop the rabbit's foot.

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
A tamed [[cat]] has a 70% chance of giving the player a gift when the player wakes up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a rabbit's foot.

== Usage ==

=== Brewing ingredient ===

  |Mundane Potion
  |base=Water Bottle
}}
{{brewing

  |showname=1

  |Potion of Leaping

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level cleric [[villager]]s buy rabbit's feet for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade: {{in|java}} they buy 2, and {{in|bedrock}} they buy 4.

A '''trident''' is a [[weapon]] used in both melee and ranged combat and is a rare drop from [[drowned]].

==Obtaining==
Tridents are not craftable. A trident can be obtained only when dropped by a [[drowned]]. 

===Mob loot===
15% of [[drowned]] {{in|bedrock}} (6.25% {{in|java}}) spawn with a trident of random durability as their natural weapon, and only the drowned with a trident have a 8.5% chance of dropping the trident, increasing by 1% with each level of [[Looting]].

Only naturally-spawned drowned can spawn with a trident and have a chance of dropping one. {{IN|Java}}, a trident held by a drowned has a chance to be enchanted, but the trident's enchantments have no effects for drowned.<ref>{{bug|MC-127321}}</ref>

===Thrown tridents===
Tridents thrown onto the ground by a player can be picked up; however, tridents thrown by [[drowned]] cannot be picked up, similar to arrows shot by [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, and [[pillager]]s. Only the owner of a trident thrown in Creative mode or enchanted with Loyalty can pick it up; other players in Creative and players in Survival mode including its own owner can't pick up the trident thrown in Creative.

===Trading===
Drowned who are holding tridents will sometimes drop their trident at full durability if given a nautilus shell when they aren't attacking anything.{{only|BE}}

==Usage==

===Drowned===
{{main|Drowned}}
15% of drowned {{in|bedrock}}, and 6.25% {{in|java}}, spawn with a trident as its natural weapon. It throws the trident at its opponent every 1.5 seconds, dealing {{hp|9}} [[damage]] in normal difficulty. A drowned can throw unlimited tridents, and these tridents cannot be picked up by the [[player]].

A [[villager]] can be turned into a [[zombie villager]] if it is killed by a trident thrown by a drowned: the chance of conversion is 0% on Easy [[difficulty]], 50% on Normal, and 100% on Hard and [[Hardcore]].

{{IN|bedrock}}, a drowned can use the trident's melee attack if its target is within three blocks. The melee attack deals {{hp|9}} damage.

===Melee attack===

Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a trident deals damage to both [[mob]]s and players. Tridents deal {{hp|9}} melee damage. A successful hit consumes durability of the trident.

===Ranged attack===
[[File:Steve aiming with Trident.png|150px]] [[File:Alex aiming with Trident.png|150px]]

Pressing and holding {{control|use}} while holding a trident charges it. When released at full charge, the trident is thrown and deals damage to any [[entity]] it hits. It flies on a ballistic trajectory similar to that of an [[arrow]], but at 80% strength. If the trident hits a block, it sticks to the block. If it hits an entity, it bounces off the entity and lands nearby. It is also blocked by [[shield]]s and can be retrieved once it lands in the ground. Thrown tridents can trigger wooden [[button]]s, wooden [[pressure plate]]s, and [[target]] blocks. A trident can be thrown at a [[chorus flower]] or [[pointed dripstone]] to break it, which causes the block to be dropped as its respective item.

{{IN|bedrock}} and [[Java Edition Combat Test 4]], tridents can be shot by [[dispenser]]s regardless of enchantment.

Tridents [[Enchanting#Summary_of_enchantments_by_item|enchanted]] with [[Loyalty]] return to the thrower after hitting an entity{{only|java}}/hitting and bouncing off an entity then hitting a block{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-51726}}</ref> or just a block. A Loyalty-enchanted trident fired from a [[dispenser]] just sticks to the block it strikes. Higher levels of enchantment result in shorter recovery times. {{IN|java}}, throwing a trident enchanted with Loyalty into the [[void]] destroys it,<ref>{{bug|MC-125755|||WAI}}</ref> while {{in|bedrock}} it automatically returns to the player. Tridents (if enchanted with Loyalty), can take [[fire]] damage but still return to the player if thrown in [[lava]]. This is especially helpful in [[the Nether]] should the [[player]] be using a trident instead of a [[bow]]. If a trident enchanted with Loyalty attempts to return to a player with no available inventory space, the trident floats near the player until inventory space becomes available.

Thrown tridents take 1 durability damage, regardless of whether it hit an entity or not. Tridents with 1 durability remaining cannot be thrown.

Tridents enchanted with [[Riptide]] launch the player a certain distance when thrown, with the distance increasing for higher enchantment levels. They can be thrown only if the player is standing in [[water]], or if it is raining on the block they are standing on. If the player charges it but walks into a nearby dry area, the charge is canceled. If the player throws a Riptide trident and collides with a mob, the mob takes melee damage (including critical damage if the player is falling). {{IN|java}} tridents enchanted with Riptide take one durability damage upon throwing, and lose an additional 1 durability if it collides with an entity on both editions. Each level of Riptide increases the distance traveled by six blocks. The enchantment at level one launches the player nine blocks, fifteen blocks at level two, and twenty-one blocks at level three.

Tridents enchanted with [[Channeling]] summon a lightning bolt if there is a thunderstorm, although only upon hitting a mob or player standing in the rain as well as a [[Lightning Rod|lightning rod]] placed in the rain.

Unlike other projectiles, the trident does not slow down when thrown through water or lava.

{{IN|java}}, the [[Impaling]] enchantment affects ''all water mobs''. {{IN|bedrock}}, it deals extra damage to [[player]]s and mobs in water or rain.

Unlike arrows, thrown tridents do not despawn.{{only|bedrock}} Tridents despawn after 60 seconds if they are not picked up.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-125817}}</ref>

;Magical damage
Using [[Riptide]], nearby players or mobs are dealt [[Harming|splash damage]] within an 8.25×8.25×4.25 cubical area. It stacks with the [[Impaling]] enchantment and [[Strength]] effect. Critical hits do not increase splash damage, but affect the target. 

{{IN|bedrock}}, thrown tridents can damage the [[ender dragon]] while resting on the bedrock fountain. {{IN|java}}, they act just like arrows — deflected, but burn as if they had [[Flame]].

=== Damage===
Thrown tridents and splashes deal {{hp|8}} damage. The damage remains the same regardless of the trident's speed. It has a faster charging speed than a [[bow]] or [[crossbow]] (barring the [[Quick Charge]] enchantment.)

====Java Edition====

{{IN|java}}, tridents have an attack speed of 1.1 and take ~0.91 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

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

===Impaling damage ===

{{IN|java}}, the [[Impaling]] enchantment deals extra damage to all water mobs. {{IN|bedrock}} and in [[Java Edition Combat Test 3]], it deals extra damage to all players and mobs in water or rain.

===Repairing ===
Tridents have the same [[durability]] as an [[sword|iron sword]]. Whenever a trident deals damage, its durability decreases by 1.

Tridents can be repaired by:
*combining two damaged tridents in a [[grindstone]], or on a [[crafting table]] or the 2×2 inventory grid, which removes any enchantments except for [[Curse of Vanishing]] and [[Curse of Binding]]
*combining a damaged trident with another trident on an [[anvil]], which preserves enchantments.
*applying the [[Mending]] enchantment.

==Issues==

{{issue list}}

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

'''Banners''' are tall decorative [[blocks]], featuring a field that is highly customizable using [[dye]]s and [[banner pattern]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

Banners can be broken with or without a [[tool]], but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Banners|Axe}}

A banner also breaks and drops itself as an [[Item (entity)|item]] if the block the banner is attached to is moved, removed, or destroyed.

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cartographer and shepherd villagers both offer to sell one of 16 blank banners for 3 emeralds as part of their trades.

[[Illager]]s that spawn carrying an ominous banner{{only|java|short=1}} / illager banner{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}} always drop it upon death.

== Usage ==

[[File:Standing banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping block on a banner.]]
[[File:Wall banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping on a wall mounted banner.]]

There are 16 colored blank banners, and numerous patterns each available in each of the 16 colors. A banner can feature up to 6 different patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing water.

Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground facing in any direction, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location. 

Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so [[entities]] can move through them.

Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a banner for floor banners, or the bottom half of wall banners.

When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block, and it is possible to place it so it appears half buried.

Banners can also be placed in [[item frame]]s, where they simply appear as their item model.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around banners. {{IN|bedrock}}, banners can be [[waterlogged]].

File:Water flowing around banner.png| Water flows around a banner on the ground
</gallery>

Lava can create [[fire]] in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods). Banners also cannot be moved by [[piston]]s.

If a banner is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when a pattern is added, but not when a pattern is removed.

=== Helmet ===
{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[Helmet|head slot]] in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|java|short=1}}.

=== Chestplate ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}}.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

[[Shield]]s can have patterns applied to them using banners. The shield pattern has a smaller resolution than the banner pattern, causing them to look different or offset. Banners that have more than six patterns, such as Ominous Banners or banners obtained through inventory editors, will be reduced to six patterns on the shield.

}}

=== Copying ===

Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners. Banners with more than 6 patterns applied using commands cannot be copied in this manner.

=== Map marker ===
[[File:Banner marked map.png|alt=All banners marked on a map, alongside a named banner.|thumb|right|How every banner appears {{IN|java}} on a map, including named banners.]]

{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
{{IN|java}}, {{control|using}} on a standing banner with a [[map]] selected places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and {{control|using}} on the banner again removes the marker. Note that wall banners cannot serve as map markers. The marker has the same color as the banner's base without decorations. The marker is removed if the banner is destroyed unless the map is locked using a [[cartography table]]. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker.

=== Patterns ===
{{see also|Banner/Patterns|title1=List of patterned banners}}
[[File:Spawned-in Banner.png|thumb|100px|Example of a banner with more than 6 patterns, a result of using the {{cmd|give}} command.]]

A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. A banner can have up to 16 layers of patterns with the use of commands. The total number of unique banners is approximately 2.3x10^16 (or 23 quadrillion).

Any color banner can be used; the pattern overlays the color. {{IN|java}}, a [[loom]] is used to make patterns. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the patterns can be made in a [[loom]] or a [[crafting table]].

A banner can have more than six layers of patterns through the commands <code>/[[Commands/give|give]]</code>, <code>/[[Commands/setblock|setblock]]</code> or <code>/[[Commands/fill|fill]]</code>. This only works in ''Java Edition'', as Bedrock Edition doesn't have any NBT commands. Here is an example of a mining banner with seven different patterns. There is specific codes for the [[Banner#Item data:~:text=white-,Item,-In Java Edition|colors]] and [[Banner/Patterns|patterns]] that you have to input. 

<code><nowiki>/give @p white_banner{display:{Name:"\"Mining Industries Banner\""},BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Pattern:"cr",Color:15},{Pattern:"bs",Color:15},{Pattern:"sc",Color:12},{Pattern:"ms",Color:0},{Pattern:"hh",Color:15},{Pattern:"bo",Color:15},{Pattern:"tts",Color:8}]}} 1</code>

=== Renaming ===
{{IN|java}}, a banner can be given a custom name that remains as the banner is placed and retrieved. The player can use an [[anvil]] to rename the banner item, or may change the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command on the banner block.

=== Fuel ===
Banners can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per banner.

=== Note Blocks ===
Banners can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds.

* With 16 blank banners, 38 patterns of 16 colors each (608 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16 × (608<sup>0</sup> + 608<sup>1</sup> + 608<sup>2</sup> + 608<sup>3</sup> + 608<sup>4</sup> + 608<sup>5</sup> + 608<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 809 quadrillion - 809 with 15 zeros (809,573,616,779,945,488). The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns, or the entire banner, or be duplicated due to the symmetric set of patterns (e.g. field or (yellow) + per pale azure (blue) = field azure + per pale or inverted).
** Not 38 patterns are available on BE, but 40 patterns of 16 colors each (640 uniquely-colored patterns), so the number is even greater. 16 × (640<sup>0</sup> + 640<sup>1</sup> + 640<sup>2</sup> + 640<sup>3</sup> + 640<sup>4</sup> + 640<sup>5</sup> + 640<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 1 quintillion - 1 with 18 zeros (1,101,232,303,249,827,856). This increases the number by almost 1.4 times, or almost 292 quadrillion, despite the addition of only 2 patterns.
* If a banner has over 6 patterns, only the six bottom-most patterns are displayed when hovered over in the [[inventory]].
* The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for [[wiktionary:mojäng|mojäng]]. If [[wikipedia:Google Translate|Google Translate]] is used, it translates to "thingys" or "contraption".
** In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called ''mojäng''.
* [[List of block textures#Banner Textures|Banner textures]] are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner.
** There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner.
** The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side.
** Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent.
* Banners that have the purple NBT+ line in the bottom (obtained by holding Ctrl and middle-clicking the banner, which also copies the NBT [[tag]] of anything that the player points their crosshair to) actually have no difference with the base banner obtained by middle click.
*The Illager Banner in Bedrock Edition is available as a separate item but is just a second variant of the white banner.
**Standard variant of white banner is set to type 0.
**Illager variant is set to type 1.

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting
|head=1
|showdescription=1
|Name Tag
|Name, 16; Tag, 16
|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.
