A crossbow is a powerful alternative to the bow that uses arrows or fireworks as ammunition.
Obtaining
Crafting
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Crossbow | Stick + Iron Ingot + String + Tripwire Hook |
|
| Crossbow | Damaged Crossbow or Damaged Arrow Loaded Crossbow or Damaged Firework Loaded Crossbow |
Pillagers
Pillagers have a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a crossbow when killed, and this rate increases per level of Looting. Crossbows can also be looted from loot chests in pillager outposts.
Usage
Charging the crossbow (GIF).
Weapon
Crossbows are similar to bows, but take longer to charge and are slightly more powerful, shooting further. They can be drawn back by using it, forcing one to move at a sneaking pace, and unlike bows, the arrow may only be shot after it is fully loaded. At full charge, the player's speed returns to normal and the crossbow can be placed in another inventory slot or into an item frame without the arrow or firework rocket being unloaded. In order to use the crossbow, at least one arrow must be present in the inventory. Creative mode doesn't require arrows. The player can choose which type of arrow to fire based on its location in the inventory. Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected hotbar slot if the bow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot, the arrow closest to slot 0 is selected.
Damage caused by the arrow is unaffected by the Strength status effect.
Endermen cannot be shot using an arrow, as the arrow will disappear as the enderman teleports.
Fireworks
Firework rockets can be fired by shooting the crossbow while holding the rockets in the offhand. Firework rockets with higher flight durations will launch further and also have a longer time before they explode. Launching firework rockets with multiple firework stars in them can obscure the targeted player's vision, due to the number of particles produced. Firework rockets also work with the Multi-Shot enchantment, enabling the player to shoot up to 3 rockets at a time.
If a shot firework hits a mob, it will explode instantly.
Repair
Crossbows can be repaired in an anvil or crafting table by combining two of them, but this will sacrifice any ammo loaded in the second crossbow.
Enchantments
Crossbows can receive 3 unique enchantments, and have a base enchantability of 1. Their enchantments have no effect on arrow speed or distance.
Crossbows can be enchanted with Quick Charge, and one of Multishot and Piercing:
- Quick Charge (I–III) – Decreases the reloading time by
level * 0.25seconds. At level III it is slightly faster than bows. - Multishot (I) – A single shot fires a spread of 3 projectiles at once. This works for both arrows and firework rockets.
- Piercing (I–IV) – Shoots an arrow through
level + 1entities (except for armor stands and end crystals).
Crossbows can also be enchanted with Mending and Unbreaking. Normal methods of applying enchantments allow only one of Multishot or Piercing to be applied to a crossbow as they are mutually exclusive. It is possible to use a command to apply both to a single crossbow. Infinity can be added as well, but it can only be put on using commands.
Fuel
A crossbow can be used as fuel in furnaces, smelting 1 item per crossbow.

===Archaeology===
{{LootChestItem|disc-relic}}
===Mob loot===
When killed by any [[skeleton]] or [[stray]] (or [[wither skeleton]] if given a [[bow]] using commands), a [[creeper]] drops a random music disc in addition to its normal drops, with the exceptions of Pigstep, otherside, 5, and Relic.
Because [[TNT]] ignited by a flaming [[arrow]] attributes all resulting kills to the entity that fired the arrow, a skeleton igniting a TNT block due to holding a [[bow]] enchanted with [[Flame]], or shooting through [[lava]] or fire, also causes any creepers killed in the explosion to drop a disc.<ref>{{bug|MC-210303|||WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-150884|||WAI}}</ref>

|C418
|A somewhat unsettling, cave-themed ambient piece consisting mostly of echoed synthesized ambient sounds that closely resemble those that play in the game's caves, resonating metallic clinks, and quiet wind blowing. The entire track is wholly engulfed in reverb. At different points in the piece, muffled bow firings, a heavily reverbed hiss followed by a subsequent heavily reverbed explosion and echoed splashes can be heard in the background. The track goes silent for 13 seconds at the 1:30 mark.

At 1:46, what sounds like an interpolation of part of the melody from the track "Minecraft" plays.
The four-note pattern at 2:04 can also be heard at the beginning of "far" and "dog".

| A recording that begins with vinyl static, followed by the sounds of someone walking on or breaking [[stone]] blocks, heavy breathing, and rustling. Haunting background noises are heard throughout the recording, resembling the ambient sound effects that play in the game's caves (and by extension, the sounds of the disc "13"). After the background noises quiet down for a moment, metallic clicking or scraping noises can be heard, followed by coughing, sounds of page-turning, then more clicking or scraping. The background noises resume more loudly, and the sounds of faster footsteps or breaking [[stone]] blocks can be heard, which accelerate until they are replaced with [[dirt]] sounds as the background noises approach. A loud, distorted noise is heard roughly a second before the recording abruptly stops. At this point, one hears only quiet beeping, vinyl static, and a hissing noise, and the track ends.

|A recording that begins with static and a warped noise. After a moment of silence, there is the sound of a [[Flint and Steel|flint and steel]] lighting, [[fire]], a [[bat]], and then walking. The walking becomes heavier and metallic. The sound stops with sounds of breathing followed by a roar which warps into soft, relaxing music. The music soon transitions back, to the sound of footsteps, [[lava]] bubbling, and [[Block of Amethyst|amethyst]]. A warped noise and a [[sculk shrieker]] can be heard activating. Then a coughing sound, something metallic and stone and sand sounds followed by another warped noise can be heard. Then, after a moment of silence, a heartbeat begins and a rising static can be heard in the background. Sounds of [[deepslate]] can then be heard, along with strange noises building up and abruptly stopping. A crescendo of overlapping warped sounds is followed then dies down. The footsteps begin again, much quieter now. A [[sculk sensor]] clicks, and a [[warden]] roars. The wardens roar warps and slows down, and then the disc ends.

The main melody of "A Time of Legends" and "The Well of Fate" from the [[Minecraft Legends:Original Game Soundtrack|original soundtrack]] of [[Minecraft Legends]] is heard later, played on the same 8-bit synthesizer. Later in the song a bass is added to the noise. Slight record grain and warbled pitches can be heard throughout the song.

==Usage==
The music discs resemble older 78-{{tooltip|rpm|Revolutions per minute}} {{w|phonograph records}} from the early 20th century, which were often played in jukeboxes from that era. They are used in ''Minecraft'' in a similar fashion: A music disc can be played on a [[jukebox]] by holding the disc and right-clicking on the jukebox.
The in-game music disc tracks are all {{w|Monaural|monaural}} recordings. Tracks released for listening outside of the game are in {{w|Stereophonic_sound|stereo}}.
If the [[player]] places a [[Redstone Comparator|comparator]] besides a jukebox, the intensity of the redstone signal depends on the disc currently played, with the following values:

==Trivia==
*Before [[Java Edition 1.13/Flattening|''The Flattening'']], data values used by music discs ranged from 2256 to 2267, while all other blocks/items used the first free data value available.
*The title "13" is a reference to the 13 cave ambience sounds that existed when the disc was added. Similar sounds can be heard throughout the track.
**Because "13" was created in 2010, it actually uses older sound effects from earlier versions of the game for bow firing{{sound||Bow_Shooting_Old.ogg}}, arrow impacts{{sound||Arrow_Old.ogg}}, explosions{{sound||Explosion_Old.ogg}}, and water splashing{{sound||Water_Splash_Old.ogg}}, which have since been replaced.
***The background noise also bears resemblance to a deeper version of the unused and removed [[Java_Edition_removed_features#Audio_loops|cave chimes]]{{sound||Cave_chimes.ogg}}. Before the explosion, there was also the sound of a creeper fuse{{sound||Creeper_fuse.ogg}} which is still used.
**C418 initially wanted the music disc to be found deep underground in a cave in-game, being played by some device.<ref>https://c418.org/albums/minecraft-volume-alpha/</ref>
*Exclusively on {{el|lce}}, an extra track called "dog" is appended to the "cat" music disc. Once "cat" is done playing and fades out, "dog" begins playing for another two minutes or so, making this version of "cat" the longest music disc in the game.
* "chirp" uses the same accompaniment samples as "The Orb of Dreamers" from the ''[[w:c:littlebigplanet:LittleBigPlanet (series)|LittleBigPlanet]]'' series.<ref>{{ytl|3Jnubcn2G-Y|Daniel Pemberton - The Orb Of Dreamers}}</ref> The samples come from the {{w|Optigan}} disc "Bossa Nova Style".<ref>{{ytl|G89vIy8Guj4|Optigan Program Disc: Bossa Nova Style|t=22}}</ref> C418 stated that it was coincidental.<ref>{{tweet|1=c418|2=314472205109043200|3=Remember when people thought I plagiarized LittleBigPlanet music? Yeah, the Optigan is a lovely instrument that I will never utilize again.|4=March 20, 2013}}</ref>
*The texture used for the music disc "chirp" was previously used for the [[camera]] tripod texture prior to [[Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha]].
*The title "stal" is a Swedish word meaning ''stole'' in English and a Polish word meaning ''steel''.
*The music disc "11" is the only visibly damaged music disc.
**If the .ogg file for "11" is turned into a {{w|spectrogram}} in an audio editor, the static at the end displays what seems to be [[Player|Steve]]'s face and the numbers 12418. The numbers are a visual signature, where "C" is hexadecimal for "12", and combined with "418" creates "[[Daniel Rosenfeld|C418]]", the name of the producer of all of the music disc tracks except for "Pigstep", "otherside", "5" and "Relic".
**Within the disc are sounds, in order of appearance, of stone{{sound||Stone_dig4.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_dig1.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_dig3.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_dig2.ogg}} and dirt or gravel{{sound||Gravel_dig1.ogg}}{{sound||Gravel_dig4.ogg}}{{sound||Gravel_dig3.ogg}}{{sound||Gravel_dig2.ogg}}. At the time disc "11" was made, footstep sounds, placing sounds, and breaking sounds were the same for the respecive block. It is unknown exactly what the character was doing when these sounds were played.
** There is a track that is exclusive to the album ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta]]'' called "Eleven", which has the same length of 1:11 and begins with the same vinyl static sound before being abruptly interrupted by a record scratching sound and switching to a new, calm piano piece.
**C418 once imagined that the "monster" chasing the person in "11" is himself "being a weird monster that occasionally records songs from strangers and then dies in '11'".<ref>{{tweet|c418|119413441793495040|Yes! I now imagine C418 being a weird monster that occasionally records songs from strangers. And then dies in 11|September 29, 2011}}</ref>
**"11" causes jukeboxes to output a redstone signal strength of 11.
**Before [[Java Edition 1.13]], the [[data value]] of "11" was 11.
**[[Brandon Pearce]] stated that the [[warden]] mob is based on the "monster" heard at the end of "11".<ref>{{ytl|pH_6-ZVOUAk|Ask Mojang #11: All About Caves & Cliffs|Minecraft|OCtober 30, 2020}}</ref>
*The music disc "wait", originally titled "where are we now", was finally added to [[Java Edition 1.4.3]] after existing solely in the game's files for an unspecified amount of time.
** "wait" used the original title "where are we now" in older versions of the Legacy Console Edition.
*"Pigstep" is the only disc to have its name capitalized in-game, and it can only be found in [[Bastion Remnant|bastion remnant]]s. It is also the music disc with the fastest beat.
* "Pigstep" is a {{w|portmanteau}} of "piglin" and "dubstep".<ref>{{tweet|kuraine|1277309336532840448|I don't have any cool insight on the title, it's just dubstep for piglins.|June 26, 2020}} </ref>
*“5” is the only music disc that is crafted, as it requires 9 disc fragments in a 3×3 formation to craft.
**In disc “5”, there are some sounds taken from [[Minecraft Dungeons]] of the [[MCD:Endersent|Endersent]] {{sound||D6 sfx mob endersentIdleVocal-001.ogg}}, the [[Minecraft Dungeons:Vengeful Heart of Ender|Vengeful Heart of Ender]]{{Sound||D6 sfx mob finalFormMagicChimes-004.ogg}}, and relating to an [[MCD:Enderman|enderman]] {{sound||Sfx_mob_eventEnderman2D-001.ogg}}.
*** Other sounds can be heard. In order of appearance, these are: flint and steel clicking {{sound||Flint_and_steel_click.ogg}}, a bat{{sound||Bat_idle4.ogg}}{{sound||Bat_takeoff.ogg}}{{sound||Bat_loop.ogg}}, lava bubbling{{sound||Lava.ogg}}, [[amethyst cluster]] breaking{{sound||Amethyst_Cluster_break1.ogg}}, a [[sculk shrieker]]{{sound||Sculk shrieker shriek1.ogg}}, stone{{sound||Stone_hit6.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_hit5.ogg}}{{sound||Stone_hit4.ogg}}, sand{{sound||Sand_hit1.ogg}}{{sound||Sand_hit5.ogg}}, a sculk shrieker{{sound||Sculk shrieker shriek1.ogg}} overlaying a warden{{sound||Warden_ambient1.ogg}}, [[sculk sensor]] clicking{{sound||Sculk Sensor sculk clicking2.ogg}}, and a [[warden]] roaring{{sound||Warden_roar5.ogg}}.

A '''redstone comparator''' is a [[block]] that can produce an [[Redstone Dust|output signal]] from its front by reading [[chest]]s, [[lectern]]s, [[beehive]]s and similar blocks, or repeat a signal without changing its strength. It can also be set to either stop outputting a signal when its side input recieves a stronger one (front torch off), or subtract its side input's signal strength from its output (front torch on).
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Redstone comparators generate in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].
=== Breaking ===
A redstone comparator can be broken instantly with any [[tool]], or by hand, and drops itself as an item.
{{Breaking row|Redstone Comparator|horizontal=y}}
A redstone comparator is removed and dropped as an item if:
* its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed;
* [[water]] flows into its space;{{only|java}}
* a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space.
If [[lava]] flows into a redstone comparator's space, the redstone comparator is destroyed without dropping as an item.

}}
== Usage ==
A redstone comparator can be placed on the top of any [[opaque]] block with a solid full-height top surface (including upside-down [[slab]]s and upside-down [[stairs]]). {{IN|be}}, a comparator can also be placed on [[wall]]s and fences. For more information about placement on transparent blocks, see [[Opacity/Placement]].
The redstone comparator has a front and a back — the arrow on the top of the comparator points to the front. When placed, the comparator faces away from the player. The comparator has two miniature redstone torches at the back and one at the front. The back torches turn on when the comparator's output is greater than zero (the arrow on top also turns red). The front torch has two states that can be toggled by {{control|using}} the comparator:
* Down and unpowered (indicating the comparator is in "comparison mode")
* Up and powered (indicating the comparator is in "subtraction mode")
The redstone comparator can take a signal strength input from its rear as well as from both sides. Side inputs are accepted only from [[redstone dust]], [[block of redstone]], [[redstone repeater]]s, other comparators, and [[observer]]s in specific scenarios. The redstone comparator's front is its output.
It takes 1 [[redstone tick]] (2 game ticks, or 0.1 seconds barring lag) for signals to move through a redstone comparator, either from the rear or from the sides. This applies to changing signal strengths as well as simply to turning on and off.
Redstone comparators check their power state before their scheduled ticks update. This results in redstone comparators not usually responding to 1-tick fluctuations of power or signal strength — for example, a [[clock circuit|1-clock]] input is treated as always off from the side, and always on from the rear. This happens because the signal changes back to its original state before the redstone comparator checks its input states. However, certain setups such as powering any input with two separate observer pulses at the same time will cause a redstone comparator to respond to 2 gametick pulses.
The redstone comparator has four functions: maintain signal strength, compare signal strength, subtract signal strength, and measure certain block states (primarily the fullness of containers).
=== Maintain signal strength ===
A redstone comparator with no powered sides outputs the same signal strength as its rear input.
=== Compare signal strength ===
[[File:Comparators Explained.png|Comparators in comparison mode.|thumb]]
A redstone comparator in comparison mode (front torch down and unpowered) compares its rear input to its two side inputs. If either side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator output turns off. If neither side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator outputs the same signal strength as its rear input.
The formula for calculating the output signal strength is as follows:
<code>output = rear × [[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|[]]'''''left''''' ≤ '''''rear''''' AND '''''right''''' ≤ '''''rear'''''[[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|<nowiki>]]]</code>
{{-}}
=== Subtract signal strength ===
[[File:Redstone comparator.png|thumb|The greatest of the side inputs A and C is subtracted from the rear input B, outputting 1. If either A or C were greater than B, it would output 0.]]
A redstone comparator in subtraction mode (front torch up and powered) subtracts the signal strength of the higher side input from the signal strength of the rear input.
<code>output = max('''''rear''''' − max('''''left''', '''right'''''), 0)</code>
For example: if the signal strength is 6 at the left input, 7 at the right input and 4 at the rear, the output signal has a strength of ''max(4 − max(6, 7), 0) = max(4−7, 0) = max(−3, 0) = 0''.
If the signal strength is 9 at the rear, 2 at the right input and 5 at the left input, the output signal has a strength of ''max(9 − max(2, 5), 0) = max(9−5, 0) = 4''.
=== Measure block state ===
{{Schematic | caption = A redstone comparator can measure the fullness of a chest, as well as other block states, even through an opaque block.
|rd-ew!|rc-w!|ch|SB|rc-e!|rd-ew!
}}
A redstone comparator treats certain blocks behind it as power sources and outputs a signal strength proportional to the block's state. The comparator may be separated from the measured block by an opaque block. However, {{in|je}}, if the opaque block is powered to signal strength 15, then the comparator outputs 15 no matter the fullness of the container.<ref>{{bug|MC-64394}} (resolved as "Works As Intended")</ref>

Generally speaking, the comparator output signal strength represents the average fullness of the slots, based on how many of that item form a full stack (64, 16, or 1 for non-stackable items).
The ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table (right) shows the minimum '''''full-stack-equivalent (FSE)''''' to produce different signal strengths from common containers. A '''''full-stack-equivalent''''' quantifies how many normal 64-stackable items are needed to output a corresponding signal strength. The 's' is a constant 64, with the additional amount needed following after.
One may also consider the terms: '''c''umulative-weight''''' or '''''weighted-sum''''' instead of '''''full-stack-equivalent'''''.
Items that stack to a max of 16 ([[snowball]]s, [[sign]]s, [[ender pearl]]s, etc.), contribute +4 to the ''full-stack-equivalent'' for each unity (count of 1 item). Similarly, items that stack to 1 ([[minecart]], [[boat]], etc.) contribute +64, and items that stack to 64 contribute +1.
Example 1: 3 ender pearls will contribute a 3 x 4 = 12 ''full-stack-equivalent''.
Example 2: 16 ender pearls and 60 redstone dust contributes a 16x4 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''.
Example 3: 1 minecart and 60 redstone dust contributes a 1x64 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''.
Example 4: To produce a signal strength of 10 from a hopper, one requires a ''full-stack-equivalent'' of at least 3s + 14 = 206 but strictly less than than 3s + 37 = 229. This can be done with 3 minecarts, and 14 dirt.
When a comparator measures a large chest or large trapped chest, it measures the entire large chest (54 slots), not just the half directly behind the comparator. A chest or trapped chest that cannot be opened (either because it has an opaque block, [[ocelot]], or [[cat]] above it) always produces an output of 0 no matter how many items are in the container — shulker boxes can always be measured, even if they cannot open.
;Calculating signal strength from items
:When a container is empty, the output is off.
:When it is not empty, the output signal strength is calculated as follows:
:<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''sum of all slots' fullnesses''''') / ('''''number of slots in container''''')) × 14)</code>
:<code>fullness of a slot = '''''number of items in slot''''' / '''''max stack size for this type of item'''''</code>
:''Example:'' 300 blocks in a dispenser (which has 9 slots), where each block stacks to a maximum of 64 has a 300 ''full-stack-equivalent.'' This produces an output with a signal strength of 8:
<blockquote>
1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) × 14 = 8.292, floored is 8
</blockquote>
;Calculating items from signal strength
:It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows:
:<code>items required = max('''''desired signal strength''''', roundup(('''''total slots in container''''' × 64 / 14) × (desired signal strength − 1)))</code>
:''Example:'' To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, players need 110 items:
<blockquote>
max(9, (3×64/14) × (9−1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110
</blockquote>

==== Miscellaneous ====
[[File:Comparator storage.png|Comparators used to measure containers.|thumb]]
Some non-container blocks can also be measured by a redstone comparator:
;{{BlockLink|Beehive}} and {{BlockLink|Bee nest}}
: A hive or nest outputs a signal strength equal to the amount of honey in the hive/nest.
;{{BlockLink|Cake}}
: A cake outputs a signal strength relative to the amount of cake remaining. Each slice is worth 2 signal strength, with 7 total slices, for an output of 14 for a full cake.
[[File:Cauldron Redstone Strength Values.png|Cauldron signal strength|thumb]]
;{{BlockLink|Cauldron}}
: A cauldron outputs different signal strengths depending on how much water or powdered snow is inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, and 3. If lava or powder snow is inside, the strength is always 3.
[[File:Composter Redstone Strength Values.png|Composter signal strength|thumb]]
;{{BlockLink|Composter}}
: A composter outputs different signal strengths depending on the level inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
;{{Anchor|CommandBlock}}{{BlockLink|Command Block}}
: A command block stores the "success count" of the last command executed, which represents the number of times the most recently used command of this command block succeeded. A "success" is defined by the [[command]]'s success conditions: if a red error message is returned in the chat, the command was not successful.
: Most commands can succeed once per execution, but certain commands (such as those that accept players as arguments) can succeed multiple times, and the comparator outputs the number of times it succeeded (maximum 15 when sent to redstone dust, but in the code it is able to go up to the 32-bit integer limit, and can be used in contraptions with no redstone dust with those values).
: A command block continues to store the success count of the last command executed until it executes its command again, thus the comparator continues to output the same signal strength even after the command block is no longer being activated (it doesn't turn off when the signal to the command block turns off).
;{{BlockLink|End Portal Frame}}
: An end portal frame outputs a full signal of 15 if it contains an [[eye of ender]] and zero otherwise.
[[File:Item frame and comparator.png|A comparator can measure the presence and rotation of an item frame's contents.|thumb]]
;{{EntityLink|Item Frame}}
: A comparator can measure the state of an [[item frame]]'s contents. An item frame comparator outputs 0 if the item frame is empty, or 1 to 8 for any item depending on its rotation: 1 at initial placement, plus 1 for each 45° of rotation for a maximum of 8.
: For an item frame that holds a map, a unit of rotation is 90° instead of 45°, but a comparator still outputs power levels 1 to 8. It takes two full rotations to cycle through all comparator outputs, and each orientation of the map corresponds to two output levels that differ by 4.
: The comparator must be placed behind the block the item frame is attached to, facing away from the item frame. The block must be a full block, and the item frame cannot be submerged in water. Having a sign in the same block as the item frame will prevent the frame from sending a signal as well.{{only|java}}
;{{BlockLink|Jukebox}}
: A jukebox outputs a signal strength indicating which music disc is currently playing. See the ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table above.
;{{BlockLink|Lectern}}
: A lectern outputs a signal strength that depends on what page the player is currently on. The calculation used is:
:<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''current page''''' - 1) / ('''''number of pages in book''''' - 1)) × 14)</code>
:This results in page 1 having a signal strength of 1, and the last page having a signal strength of 15. The exception is a single page book, which will output a signal strength of 15.
:For example, a book with 15 pages will output a signal equal to the current page number. A book with 5 pages will output signal strengths of 1, 4, 8, 11 and 15 for the different pages. A book with 100 pages will have the signal strength increase to the next level on pages 1, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 51, 58, 65, 72, 79, 86, 93 and 100.
:
;{{BlockLink|Respawn Anchor}}
: A respawn anchor outputs a signal strength of 0, 3, 7, 11, or 15, depending on the "charged" value.
;{{BlockLink|Sculk Sensor}}
: A sculk sensor outputs a signal strength depending on the type of vibration that is detected.
;{{BlockLink|Chiseled Bookshelf}}
: A chisled bookshelf outputs a signal strength between 1 and 6 indicating the last slot interacted with. When no slot has been interacted with yet, it outputs 0.

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.

=== 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.

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.

The '''ice bomb''' is an item that is used to freeze [[water]] into [[ice]].

== Usage ==
Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them, similar to an [[egg]]. They are affected by gravity.
Similar to [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.
Ice bombs explode upon hitting most blocks, including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but they do not deal damage, and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, the impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace mobs in ice under water.
While endermen teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs.
Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in [[ice]].

== Trivia ==
* In real life, mixing a sufficient amount of sodium acetate in water does solidify it, but creates [[wikipedia:Sodium acetate#Heating pad|hot ice]] (sodium acetate trihydrate) instead of normal ice.

Issues
Issues relating to "Crossbow" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
- Only one arrow can be recovered after firing a shot from a crossbow enchanted with Multishot as that is the cost of the shot.
- An un-enchanted crossbow loads slower than a bow, but with the Quick Charge enchantment applied it is actually faster.
- A crossbow enchanted with Quick Charge V (using commands) will be charged instantly.
- Using a command to place the Quick Charge enchantment on a crossbow at level VI or higher, renders it useless and unable to be loaded.
- Using a command to place the Piercing enchantment on a crossbow at level V or higher removes the effect so a fired arrow sticks out of its target as usual. It will not pass through.
