Commands/infobox

These commands control the world border.

Syntax

Arguments

<distance>

Specifies a distance in blocks:
  • add – Specifies the number of blocks to add to the world border diameter.
  • damage buffer – Specifies the distance outside the world buffer a player must be before they start taking damage. Must be at least 0.0. Initially set to 5.0.
  • set – Specifies the new diameter for the world border. Must be between 1.0 and 60,000,000 (inclusive, without the commas).
  • warning distance – Specifies the distance from the world border at which players begins to see a visual warning of the world border's proximity. Must be at least 0. Initially set to 5.

<time>

Specifies a time in seconds:
  • add – Specifies the number of seconds it should take for the world border to move from its current diameter to the new diameter. Must be at least 0. If not specified, defaults to 0.
  • set – Specifies the number of seconds it should take for the world border to move from its current diameter to the new diameter. Must be at least 0. If not specified, defaults to 0.
  • warning time – Specifies the number of seconds that a player begins to see a visual warning before a moving world border passes their position. Must be at least 0. Initially set to 15.

<pos>

Specifies the horizontal coordinates of the world border's center in form of<x> <z>. Must be between -30,000,000 and 30,000,000 (inclusive, without the commas). May use tilde and caret notation to specify coordinates relative to the command's execution.

<damagePerBlock>

Specifies the damage a player takes per second per block past the world border buffer. For example, if <damagePerBlock> is 0.1, a player 5 blocks outside the world border buffer takes 0.5 damage per second (damage less than half a heart might not change the visual health display, but still accumulates). Must be at least 0.0. Initially set to 0.2.

Result

Fails if the arguments are not specified correctly.

On success:

  • add – The world border begins changing its diameter by the specified amount. If <distance> is positive, the world border turns green and start increasing; if negative, the world border turns red and start decreasing. If <time> is 0 or unspecified, the change occurs immediately; otherwise the change proceeds at a rate of (distance/2)/time blocks per second.
  • center – The center of the world border immediately moves to the specified coordinates.
  • damage amount – Sets the world border damage amount to the specified value. Any player outside the world border buffer takes this amount of damage per second per block past the world border buffer distance.
  • damage buffer – Sets the world border buffer distance to the specified value. Players won't take damage until they move past this distance from the world border.
  • get – Shows the current world border diameter in the chat.
  • set – The world border begins changing its diameter to the specified value. If <distance> is bigger than the current diameter, the world border turns green and start increasing; if smaller, the world border turns red and start decreasing. If <time> is 0 or unspecified, the change occurs immediately; otherwise the change proceeds at a rate of ((distance-<current diameter>)/2)/time blocks per second.
  • warning distance – Sets the world border warning distance to the specified value.
  • warning time – Sets the world border warning time to the specified value.

| image = Lava Bucket.png
| renewable = Yes

}}
A '''lava bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[lava]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Interacting ===
To fill an empty [[bucket]] with lava, {{control|use}} it on a [[lava]] source block or lava in a [[cauldron]]. The block is consumed in the process. Flowing lava does not fill a bucket.

If there is a lava source above the [[pointed dripstone]] stalactite, there is a {{frac|15|256}} (~5.9%) chance for it to completely fill an empty cauldron within 10 blocks under the tip with lava after a [[random tick]]. This lava can then be scooped with a bucket, making it a renewable resource.

==Usage==
A lava bucket can be used to place down lava sources with the {{key|Use Item}} button. Doing so gives the player the bucket back. Lava buckets can be used to replace some transparent, non-full blocks such as [[tall grass]] and [[water]], both flowing and sources.

{{IN|java}}, lava buckets can be used to break [[Nether Portal (block)|Nether portal blocks]] by placing the lava on the side of a block next to the portal block.

=== Smelting ===
A lava bucket can be used as an efficient [[fuel]]. It has the longest burning value of 1000 seconds, compared to 800 seconds for a [[coal block]] (a lava bucket smelts 100 items, and a coal block smelts 80). After smelting starts, the lava bucket turns into an empty bucket.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers buy a lava bucket for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{IN|java}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy a lava bucket for one emerald.

=== Cauldrons === 
A lava bucket can be used to fill a [[cauldron]] with lava. The lava damages any entity standing inside the cauldron, unless the entity is immune to fire damage.<!-- ex: nether mobs--> Flowing water or waterlogging does not affect the lava in the cauldron.
