An example of custom terrain generation.
Customized was a world type that replaced the normal varied terrain of the Overworld with custom features. Because, as of snapshot 18w06a, it was removed completely due to the rewrite of the world generation, it was then replaced by a new, easy-to-customize but considerably more limited substitute world type called Buffet. Although it is, however, being removed as of that snapshot, Minecraft developer Erik Broes has stated that Customized world types will be returning at some point in the future after Java Edition 1.13, albeit "completely different from before" and with "no more screens of 50 vague sliders".
Customization
Basic settings
There were 18 customization options which affect whether structures will generate, among other environmental factors.
| Customization option | Parameters | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sea Level | 1-255 | 63 | The surface level of all oceans and rivers. If the level is set below the default, land masses are bigger, and rivers may be shallow or dry. All land below level 63 is gravel. For low settings, the ocean may be reduced to small lakes, may be restricted to underground caves and caverns, or sometimes even doesn't exist. If the level is set above the default, low-lying biomes such as swamps are fragmented or nonexistent, creating a world with smaller land masses. Rivers are not "rivers" in the literal sense, but are more like subsurface valleys. The world may, at high levels, consist of sparse islands separated by very deep water or may be all ocean, as in the Water World preset. Setting it to a negative value causes chunks never to load, always displaying "Waiting for chunk..." in the F3 menu. (Chunks are still generated, and can be viewed via external programs like MCEdit) |
| Caves | Yes/No | Yes | Caves are only generated underground. If omitted, they are not generated. |
| Strongholds | Yes/No | Yes | There are 128 strongholds generated in eight rings around the center (0, 0) (see stronghold). End portals will not be generated in the world if strongholds are not generated. |
| Villages | Yes/No | Yes | Villages will only generate if there are plains, savanna, taiga or desert biomes. If the world is set to another biome, they are not generated. If no villages exist, there are no spawn areas for villagers. However, villagers can still be obtained by curing zombie villagers. |
| Mineshafts | Yes/No | Yes | Whether mineshafts are generated in each biome underground. |
| Temples | Yes/No | Yes | When this is turned on, jungle temples generate in jungle biomes, desert temples generate in desert biomes, witch huts generate in swamp biomes, and igloos generate in ice plains. If the world is set to another biome, they are not generated. |
| Ocean monuments | Yes/No | Yes | When this structure is turned on, the ocean monuments are generated in the deep ocean biomes. The adjusted sea level does not affect the generation of ocean monuments. If the world is set to another biome, they are not generated. |
| Ravines | Yes/No | Yes | Ravines are only generated underground. If omitted, they are not generated. |
| Dungeons | Yes/No | Yes | Dungeons are only generated if there is an opening next to them. If there is no opening (cave, stronghold, abandoned mineshaft, ravine or underground lake) near the generated position of the dungeon, the dungeon is not generated. |
| Dungeon Count | 1-100 | 7 | Changes how many times the game will try to generate a dungeon per chunk. This is not the actual number of dungeons per chunk - as not all attempts are successful. This is because they are only generated next to an opening. This means that at a setting of 100% only very few or no dungeons are generated when the ground does not provide an opening for connecting to the right places. For example, in a world with only ravines, only two dungeons were generated at a setting of 100%. |
| Water Lakes | Yes/No | Yes | If No, water lakes will not generate |
| Water Lake Rarity | 1-100 | 4 | Increases/decreases the rarity of water lake generation (as a percentage); lower values mean a higher number of water lakes. Water lakes can generate where there is no opening, unlike dungeons. Therefore, the underground water lakes are usually discovered only by chance while digging. The decrease in the frequency is not linear: the difference between 1% and 25% is huge, the other differences up to 100% are minor. The lakes are - in contrast to the dungeons - not always at the same position. |
| Lava Lakes | Yes/No | Yes | If No, lava lakes will not generate (Note: This does not prevent lava from filling up caves under Y level 10) |
| Lava Lake Rarity | 1-100 | 80 | Increases/decreases the rarity of lava lake generation (as a percentage); lower values mean a higher number of lava lakes. Lava lakes are generated underground to the surface. Very few lakes generate on the surface. In contrast to the water lakes, which are uniformly distributed underground, the distribution of lava lakes is concentrated on the lower levels. In addition, the positions in the lava lakes from setting to setting vary widely. Few lakes retain their position at each setting.
The decrease in the frequency is not linear: the difference between 1% and 25% is huge, the other differences up to 100% are minor. |
| Lava Oceans | Yes/No | No | The setting determines whether all the world's oceans and rivers should be filled with lava. If they are filled with lava, all combustible materials on their shores catch on fire when a player is nearby. |
| Biome | All, Ocean, Plains, Desert, Extreme Hills, Forest, Taiga, Swampland, River, FrozenOcean, FrozenRiver, Ice Plains, Ice Mountains, MushroomIsland, MushroomIslandShore, Beach, DesertHills, ForestHills, TaigaHills, Extreme Hills Edge, Jungle, JungleHills, JungleEdge, Deep Ocean, Stone Beach, Cold Beach, Birch Forest, Birch Forest Hills, Roofed Forest, Cold Taiga, Cold Taiga Hills, Mega Taiga, Mega Taiga Hills, Extreme Hills+, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Mesa, Mesa Plateau F, Mesa Plateau | All | Which biome(s) should generate in the world. The rare biomes (such as desert M and sunflower plains), the Nether and the End are not on the list. However, biome variants such as beaches, hills and edge biomes can be generated. |
| Biome Size | 1-8 | 4 | Increases/decreases the size of biomes. Increasing the number by one doubles the size of biomes. The generation of oceans and lakes are independent of biome size. Biomes are magnified from the origin (0,0). Even in a single-biome world, this makes a difference; in a desert world, higher "biome size" seems to predispose toward flatter terrain and more villages and temples, while a lower setting results in steeper, more rugged terrain with fewer villages and temples. See also Large Biomes. |
| River Size | 1-5 | 4 | Increases/decreases the size and frequency of rivers. Decreasing the number by one doubles the proximity of rivers to each other. So while you get only slightly larger rivers by changing this 2 points, you also get approximately 3x as many rivers. At a setting of 1, rivers generate through most of the landscape; at 5, there are large tracts of land with no water. Rivers are magnified from the origin (0,0) so increasing the value by 1 will double the distance to a river. If the sea level is reduced far below 63, many "rivers" will be dry; but their beds will be dirt regardless of the surrounding biome. |
Ore settings
Each of the eleven sections of this page modifies the generation settings for each type of ore. These settings can be used to change the distribution of almost all any ore and mineral type. The only exception is emerald ore, as it only generates in extreme hills biomes, and the vein size is always one block; as its distribution is hard coded, it cannot be changed. The distribution of natural resources in the Nether (gravel, soulsand, Nether quartz ore and glowstone) also cannot be changed.
Apart from the above exceptions, the vein size, number and distribution are set. Here are the default settings:
| Customization option | Parameters | Default | Description | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Dirt |
Gravel |
Granite |
Diorite |
Andesite |
Coal |
Iron |
Gold |

Lapis Lazuli | |||
| Spawn Size | 1-50 | 33 | 33 | 33 | 33 | 33 | 17 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 7 | The approximate maximum number of blocks in a single vein. |
| Spawn Tries | 0-40 | 10 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 20 | 2 | 8 | 1 | 1 | The number of times the world generator attempts to place a vein in a chunk. |
| Min. Height | 0-255 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 16[note 1] | The minimum height at which the ore generates. |
| Max. Height | 0-255 | 256[note 2] | 256[note 2] | 80 | 80 | 80 | 128 | 64 | 32 | 16 | 16 | 16[note 1] | The maximum height at which the ore generates. |
- Notes
- ↑ a b The Lapis Lazuli distribution follows its own rules : instead of a minimum and a maximum height, it is based on a center height and a spread value. By default, these values are set to 16, meaning that Lapis Lazuli can generate within levels 0 to 32, mostly around level 16.
- ↑ a b Although 256 is the maximum height, adjusting the slider moves the values from 0-255. Resetting to Default or manually editing the preset code text is the only way to observe 256 on the slider if it has been moved.
Advanced settings
There are 16 customization options which can be used to affect various aspects of Minecraft's terrain generator. These settings appear on two pages: one with sliders, and one which allows for text input. On the manual text input page, typing in any value lower or higher than the allowed parameter will change the value to the lowest or highest value possible for that customization option. The settings only change the mountains and valleys of the landscape; structures and other environmental factors (which are set on page 1) remain unaffected.
Minecraft uses Perlin noise to create the randomness of its terrain. Perlin noise is a method for generating noise that transitions smoothly and looks more natural than 'regular' noise.
The Minecraft world generator uses many Perlin noise functions to generate the surface terrain. Three Perlin noise functions are combined to form the standard hills: a main function (Main Noise), a lower limit (Lower Limit) and a ceiling (Upper Limit). The world generator is calculated for each coordinate (X, Z) by comparing the average value between the lower limit and upper limit to the value of the main function. The base height (Depth Base) determines the separation between the standard hills and valleys and is independent from sea level.[1]
The default scenery is not seen in the finished world, because each biome has specific properties. Plains are flat, hills have small to medium elevations, extreme mountains are high mountain ranges, oceans have deep valleys, savannas and mesas have low mountains with flat plateaus, etc. Each biome type has an individual biome depth (Biome Depth) and an individual biome factor (Biome Scale) in order to perform the biome specific deformations.
| Customization option | Parameters | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Noise Scale X | 1–5000 | 80 | Stretches the terrain along the x-axis
|
| Main Noise Scale Y | 1–5000 | 160 | Stretches the terrain along the y (height) axis.
|
| Main Noise Scale Z | 1–5000 | 80 | Stretches the terrain along the z-axis.
|
| Depth Noise Scale X | 1–2000 | 200 | Creates more variations and abrupt changes in the height of the terrain along the x-axis.
|
| Depth Noise Scale Z | 1–2000 | 200 | Creates more variations and abrupt changes in the height of the terrain along the z-axis.
|
| Depth Noise Exponent | 0.01–20 | 0.5 | Customizes the size of random shapes that appear in world generation
|
| Depth Base Size | 1–25 | 8.5 | Decides at which height the surface is generated, before anything else is manipulated. But unlike a stretch effect, this gives more ground to be manipulated. Any change in the value of 1 corresponds to a variation of the base height by 8 levels. The value 0 cannot be set because of the base amount at least still the bedrock level must be generated. The default value of 8.5 corresponds to the base height of 68, which is slightly above sea level (level 63).
|
| Coordinate Scale | 1–6000 | 684.412 | Horizontal stretch of the main world. This effectively handles "sharpness", which makes differences in the terrain more distinct. This applies to the first run of hills/mountains the game makes, but not to further changes.
|
| Height Scale | 1–6000 | 684.412 | Vertical stretch of the main world. This applies to the first run of hills/mountains the game makes, but not to further changes.
|
| Height Stretch | 0.01–50 | 12 | Everything gets stretched or crushed more along the y-axis. It pulls terrain upward.
|
| Upper Limit Scale | 1–5000 | 512 | Make terrain more solid/riddled with holes depending on how close the values are to the lower limit scale values. Note however, that it is used in cave/cavern generation, and so setting them far apart with caves/caverns turned off doesn't give you holed terrain.
|
| Lower Limit Scale | 1–5000 | 512 | Make terrain more solid/riddled with holes depending on how close the values are to the upper limit scale values. The further apart the values, the more holes there are in the landscape.[verify] Note however, that it is used in cave/cavern generation, and so setting them far apart with caves/caverns turned off doesn't give you holed terrain. This setting has the same effect as the Upper Limit Scale, except that it affects parts of the landscape which the Upper Limit Scale does not affect. |
| Biome Depth Weight | 1–20 | 1 | Changes the height of the biomes. With increasing value the heights of the biomes are increased, without affecting the rest of the landscape. A maximum setting of 20 results in cone mountains that would exceed the maximum height of 256 meters and cap there. Large valleys of normal landscape generate between the mountains. The middle screenshot shows the value of 3. |
| Biome Depth Offset | 0–20 | 0 | Determines the surface level of the biome. The surface level of the biome is raised, but not the height of the features of the biome (e.g. hills). For example, in a tundra biome the surface at a setting of 0 is near the ocean level as normal. When set to 2, the surface is already at 100 meters, at 5 it is 150 meters and 10 at 250 meters. A further increase of the value leads to surfaces that would exceed the maximum height of 256 meters. The landscape is then capped. Therefore, at the maximum value 20 only a smooth, green sectional area at the level of 256 is visible. If set to -3.75 through a custom preset, the would-be sea level will approximately coincide with layer 0. |
| Biome Scale Weight | 1–20 | 1 | Determines the weight of biome specific characteristics. With increasing values, these characteristics are weighted more heavily. At the maximum value all tundra hills are over 240 meters high. |
| Biome Scale Offset | 0–20 | 0 | Moves biome specific characteristics. With increasing value these characteristics are moved further. The higher the value, the longer it takes to generate the landscape. |

{{about|the block|repeater circuits|Transmission circuit#Repeater|other topics related to redstone|Redstone (disambiguation)}}
A '''redstone repeater''' is a [[block]] that produces a full-strength [[Redstone Dust|output signal]] from its front when its back is powered, with four configurable delay settings. It can also be locked into a power state by its side being directly powered by a repeater or a [[Redstone Comparator|comparator]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A redstone repeater can be broken instantly using any [[tool]], or without a tool, and drops itself as an item. To remove a redstone repeater, {{control|mine}} it.
A redstone repeater is removed and drops as an item if:
* its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed;
* [[water]] or [[lava]] flows into its space;{{only|java}}
* a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space.
=== Natural generation ===
[[File:Redstone Repeater naturally generated.png|thumb|A redstone repeater generated in the jungle temple's hidden room.]]
A single redstone repeater is generated naturally in each [[jungle temple]].
They also generate in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].

}}
== Usage ==
{{see also|Redstone circuit}}
A redstone repeater can be used in four different ways: to "repeat" redstone signals back to full strength, delay signals, prevent signals moving backwards, or to "lock" signals in one state.
A repeater can be placed only on top of [[opaque]] blocks (dirt, stone, etc.), on top of upside-down [[slab]]s, upside-down [[stairs]], furnaces, and glass. {{IN|be}}, a repeater can also be placed on fences and stone walls. They can also be placed on some transparent blocks. See [[Opacity/Placement]] for more information. To place a repeater, use the {{control|Place Block}} [[control]].
A redstone repeater has a front and back – the arrow on the top points to the repeater's front. A repeater also has two small redstone torches on its top – the color of the torches indicates whether its output is on (dark red when off, bright red when on) and the distance between them indicates the delay the repeater adds to the signal transmission.
A repeater is 0.125 ({{frac|1|8}}) blocks high.
=== Signal transmission ===
A repeater transmits signals only from its back to its front, but its behavior can be modified from the side (see [[#Signal locking|signal locking]], below).
[[File:Redstone Torch Power.png|Different ways to power a repeater|thumb]]
A redstone repeater can be powered by any of the following components at its back:
* an active [[power component]] (redstone torch, lever, block of redstone, etc.)
* powered [[redstone dust]]
* a powered [[redstone comparator]] or another powered redstone repeater facing the repeater
* a powered opaque block (including any opaque [[mechanism component]]s, such as [[dispenser]]s, [[redstone lamp]]s, etc.)
A redstone repeater can power any of the following components at its front:
* redstone dust
* a redstone comparator or another redstone repeater facing away from the repeater
* any opaque block (including any opaque [[mechanism component]]s)
A redstone repeater can activate any [[mechanism component]] it is facing.
An opaque block powered by a redstone repeater is called "strongly-powered" (as opposed to an opaque block "weakly-powered" by redstone dust). A strongly-powered opaque block can power adjacent redstone dust, as well as other redstone components.
=== Signal repeating ===
{{see also|Transmission circuit#Repeater}}
A redstone repeater can "repeat" a [[Redstone Dust|redstone]] signal, boosting it back up to power level 15.
Redstone signals have a maximum power level of 15 and that level drops by 1 for every block of [[redstone dust]] the signal travels through. If a signal must travel through more than 15 [[block]]s of redstone dust, a redstone repeater can be used to boost the signal back up to full strength. An extra two blocks of distance can be achieved by placing solid opaque blocks before and after the repeater.
While redstone repeaters can allow signals to travel great distances, each always adds some delay to the transmission since the minimum amount of delay is 1 redstone tick (0.1 seconds, barring lag).
=== Signal delay ===
When initially placed, a redstone repeater has a delay of one [[redstone tick]] (equivalent to two game ticks, or 0.1 seconds barring lag).
A repeater's delay can be modified by using the {{control|Use Item}} control. Each use increases the repeater's delay by one redstone tick, to a maximum of four redstone ticks, then back to one redstone tick. Longer delays can be made with multiple repeaters – for example, a repeater set to 'four' and another to 'one' provides a half-second delay (0.4s + 0.1s = 0.5s).
A repeater set to a delay of two to four redstone ticks increases the length of any shorter [[Pulse circuit#Pulses|on-pulse]] to match the length of the repeater's delay, and suppress any shorter off-pulse. For example, a repeater set to a 4-tick delay changes a 1-tick, 2-tick, or 3-tick on-pulse into a 4-tick on-pulse, and does not allow through any off-pulse shorter than 4 ticks.
Although a repeater cannot be set to have a delay of zero, [[Transmission circuit#Instant repeater|instant repeater circuits]] are possible (circuits that repeat a signal with no delay).
In Bedrock Edition, the first repeater have a delay of zero but the repeater is still showing 1-tick{{info needed}}
=== {{anchor|diode}} Signal direction ===
{{see also| Mechanics/Redstone/Transmission circuit#Diode}}
A redstone repeater acts as a diode – it allows redstone signals through in one direction (unlike [[redstone dust]] or opaque blocks that can transmit redstone signals in any direction).
A diode can be used to protect a [[redstone circuit]] from redstone signals feeding back into the circuit from its output, or can be used to isolate one part of a circuit from another.
=== {{anchor|lock}} Signal locking ===
{{see also| Mechanics/Redstone/Memory circuit}}
[[File:Latch.png|thumb|The left repeater has been locked in an unpowered output state by the right repeater.]]
A redstone repeater can be "locked" by another powered redstone repeater facing its side. When locked, the repeater does not change its output (whether powered or unpowered), no matter what the input does. When the side repeater turns back off, the repeater returns to its normal behavior.
A repeater can also be locked by a powered [[redstone comparator]] facing its side. This offers additional possibilities for locking signals because a comparator's output can be affected from 3 sides as well as by containers.
If a repeater is locked again too quickly after unlocking (e.g. the lock is controlled by a fast clock circuit), or the lock and the input are changed only on the same tick (e.g. because they're fed by the same clock and both repeaters have the same delay), the repeater does not switch states.

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>

A redstone comparator can output a signal indicating how full a container is. (0 for empty, 15 for full, etc.) The table on the right is described more in detail, later in this section.
Containers that can be measured by a comparator include:
* {{BlockLink|Furnace}}
* {{BlockLink|Blast Furnace}}
* {{BlockLink|Smoker}}
* {{BlockLink|Brewing Stand}}
* {{BlockLink|Hopper}}
* {{ItemLink|Minecart with Hopper}} on top of a [[detector rail]]
* {{BlockLink|Dispenser}}
* {{BlockLink|Dropper}}
* {{BlockLink|Chest}}
* {{BlockLink|Trapped Chest}}
* {{ItemLink|Minecart with Chest}} on top of a [[detector rail]]
* {{BlockLink|Barrel}}
* {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large chest
* {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large trapped chest
* {{BlockLink|Shulker Box}} (any color)
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>

;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.

A '''saddle''' is an [[item]] required to ride [[Pig|pigs]] and [[Strider|striders]] or control ridden [[camel]]s, [[Horse|horses]], [[Donkey|donkeys]] and [[Mule|mules]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|saddle}}
=== Fishing ===
Saddles can be obtained as a "treasure" item from [[fishing]] with a base chance (without fishing rod enchantments) of 0.8%.
=== Trading ===
Master-level [[Trading#Leatherworker|leatherworker]] [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell a saddle for 6 [[Emerald|emeralds]] as their trade.{{only|bedrock}} This trade is always offered in ''Java Edition''.
=== Mob loot ===
Any mob that the player equips with a saddle drops the saddle upon death.
A [[strider]] may spawn being ridden by a [[zombified piglin]], which causes it to spawn wearing a saddle. This saddle always drops when the strider is killed.
A [[ravager]] always spawns with a saddle and always drops the saddle upon death. Looting does not affect the drop.
== Usage ==
[[File:SaddledHorse.png|thumb|right|A [[horse]] equipped with a saddle.]]
While [[camel]]s, [[horse]]s, [[donkey]]s, [[mule]]s and [[Skeleton Horse|skeleton horse]]s{{Only|Java}} can always be ridden, a saddle is required to control them. These mobs (only after being tamed, in the case of equine mobs) can be equipped with a saddle by placing it in their inventory, which can be opened by pressing {{control|use}} while holding a saddle or {{control|sneaking}}. The saddle can be unequipped by removing it from {{SlotSprite|Saddle}} the specific inventory slot.
Saddles are required to ride [[Pig|pigs]] and [[Strider|striders]], but even with a saddle their movement cannot be controlled like other mobs. A [[Carrot on a Stick|carrot on a stick]] (for pigs) or a [[Warped Fungus on a Stick|warped fungus on a stick]] (for striders) is required to direct these mobs. {{control|Using}} a saddle on one of these mobs equips them with the saddle, and, since they have no inventory, there is no way to retrieve the saddle without killing the mob.
Animals can also be equipped with saddles by a [[dispenser]].
Although [[ravager]]s are equipped with saddles and sometimes ridden by other mobs, the [[player]] is unable to ride ravagers.

'''Torchflower seeds''' are seeds that have a chance to be dropped by [[Sniffer|sniffers]] when they finish digging.
== Obtaining ==
[[Sniffer]]s will occasionally bury their nose in the ground and start digging. Once the sniffer has finished digging, one torchflower seed will have a chance to be dropped on the floor as an item.
Sniffers can only dig for torchflower seeds in the following blocks:
*{{BlockLink|Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Podzol}}
*{{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Mud}}
*{{BlockLink|Muddy Mangrove Roots}}
They cannot dig for torchflower seeds on [[mycelium]], which is intended.<ref>{{bug|MC-260259||Sniffers cannot dig nor find seeds on mycelium|WAI}}</ref>
== Usage ==
=== Crop ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1=Crop farming}}
Torchflower seeds can be {{control|placed}} on [[farmland]], where they grow through three stages. Breaking the torchflower crop before it matures drops the seed, while breaking the final stage produces one [[torchflower]] and does not yield the seed.
Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.
Farmer [[villager]]s can plant torchflower seeds, but cannot harvest them after they have fully grown.<ref>{{bug|MC-263382|||WAI}}</ref>
=== Feeding ===
Torchflower seeds can be used to breed [[sniffer]]s and [[chicken]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of snifflets and chicks by 10%. Also, if some torchflower seeds were fed to an injured sniffer, it will heal it by {{hp|2}} health points.
=== Taming ===
Torchflower seeds can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.
=== Composting ===
Placing torchflower seeds into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

The '''nether star''' is a rare item [[drops|dropped]] by the [[wither]] that is used solely to [[Crafting|craft]] [[beacon]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the [[wither]] [[Mob#Boss mobs|boss]], which is created using [[soul sand]] and [[Head|wither skeleton skulls]]. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [[Looting]] enchantment. {{IN|java}}, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions. {{IN|bedrock}}, nether star items never despawn, neither by time nor by explosions.
== Usage ==
The nether star has the same animated glint as [[enchanted]] items, [[potion]]s, and [[end crystal]]s.
A dropped nether star item cannot be destroyed by [[explosion]]s. However, it can still be destroyed by a falling [[anvil]],{{only|java}} [[fire]], [[lava]], [[cacti]], or [[the Void]].
It is used to [[Crafting|craft]] a [[beacon]].

'''Flint''' is a mineral obtained from [[gravel]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
When a block of [[gravel]] is mined, there is a 10% chance for a single piece of flint to drop instead of the [[gravel]] block. When mined with a [[Fortune]]-enchanted tool, this chance increases to 16% at Fortune I, 25% at Fortune II, and 100% at Fortune III. Gravel mined using a tool with [[Silk Touch]] or gravel that fell on a non-solid block never produces flint.
=== Trading ===
Novice-level [[Trading#Fletcher|fletcher]] [[villager]]s have a 50%{{only|bedrock}} or {{frac|2|3}}{{only|java}} chance to offer 10 pieces of flint for 10 blocks of gravel and an [[emerald]].
=== Chest loot ===

'''Lava''' is a light-emitting [[fluid]] that causes fire [[damage]], mostly found in the [[altitude|lower reaches]] of the [[Overworld]] and [[the Nether]].
== Obtaining ==
Lava blocks do not exist as items (at least {{in|java}}), but can be retrieved with a [[Lava Bucket|bucket]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they may be obtained as an item via glitches (in old versions), add-ons or inventory editing.
Lava may be obtained [[renewable resource|renewably]] from [[cauldron]]s, as [[pointed dripstone]] with a lava source above it can slowly fill a cauldron with lava.
=== Natural generation ===
During world generation, lava replaces [[air]] blocks generated in [[cave]]s and [[canyon]]s between Y=-55 and Y=-63. [[Aquifer]]s are sometimes filled with lava below Y=0. Lava does not replace air blocks inside [[mineshaft]]s, [[monster room]]s, [[amethyst geode]]s, or [[stronghold]]s.
Lava can also occur as lava flows from a single [[spring]] block, pouring down walls into pools. The spring block can be on the side of a cave, ravine, mineshaft, or stone cliff above ground.
Lava also generates as small [[lava lake]]s, which can be found above Y=0 within any [[biome]].
Two blocks of lava can also be found in plains, snowy plains, and desert [[village]] weaponsmith buildings, or one source in savanna village weaponsmith buildings.
Fifteen blocks of lava can be found in the [[end portal]] room of a [[stronghold]]: 3 along each side wall, and 9 below the portal frame.
Lava also generates in [[woodland mansion]]s: two blocks of lava generate in the "blacksmith room", and 25 blocks of lava generate in a secret "lava room".
In [[the Nether]], lava is more common than [[water]] in the [[Overworld]]. [[Terrain features#Lava sea|Seas of lava]] occur, with sea level at y-level 32, about a quarter of the total height of the Nether (as the usable space in the Nether is 128 blocks tall). They can extend down to about y-level 19-22. Lava also randomly appears [[Spring#Hidden lava|in single blocks]] inside [[netherrack]] formations. Lava is also generated as a single source in well rooms in [[nether fortress]]es. There are also large pockets of lava generated under y-19 and can reach all the way down to bedrock level. These pockets are generally over 12 blocks in height and often connect to a large lava lake on y-32; the size of these pockets in 1.18 can range from the size of a singular pre-1.18 ravine to multiple ravines combined.
Lava generates as [[delta]] shapes, which can be found commonly in the [[basalt deltas]] biome. Lava also generates in [[ruined portal]]s and [[bastion remnant]]s.
=== Post-generation ===
Unlike [[Water#Source blocks|water source blocks]], new lava source blocks cannot be created in a space by two or more adjacent source blocks. However {{in|Java}}, if the [[game rule]] {{cd|lavaSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|true}}, new lava source blocks can form in a similar way to water source blocks.
== Usage ==
=== Fuel ===
When used in a [[furnace]], a bucket of lava lasts 1000 seconds (100 items).
=== Burning ===
[[File:Inside Lava.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava.]]
[[File:Under lava fire resistance.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance {{in|java}}.]]
Most [[entity|entities]] take {{hp|4}} damage every half-second while in contact with lava, and are set on [[fire]]. An entity/player in lava will also have its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} set to 300, setting it on fire for 15 seconds. This timer is reset to 300 every tick that the victim spends in lava, so it will only start counting down once the victim leaves the lava. Once the victim does exit the lava source, it will burn for just under 15 seconds, taking fire damage 14 times. This is due to the fact that for the first tick outside of lava, its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} decrease to 299, and entities take fire damage when {{code|remainingFireTicks}} is a multiple of 20 and greater than 0. If the victim touches water or [[rain]] falls on it, the fire is extinguished, but the lava continues to damage them directly.
In addition, a dense [[fog]] effect will be applied for players under lava to obscure vision. This can be slightly mitigated via the [[Fire Resistance]] effect.
An entity/player moving in lava has their horizontal movement speed reduced by 50% and their vertical movement speed reduced by 20%.
{{IN|bedrock}}, a player with the Fire Resistance effect or a total [[Fire Protection]] of 7 or higher does not catch fire.
[[Vex]]es, [[zoglin]]s, Nether [[mob]]s (excluding [[piglin]]s and [[hoglin]]s), [[Wither|withers]], [[Warden|wardens]], and players or mobs affected by the [[Fire Resistance]] effect are not damaged when touching lava.
The embers or fireballs that fly out of lava are purely decorative and do not cause fires or damage to entities. When rain falls on lava, the black ember particles appear more frequently.
A player in lava lasts a few seconds before dying:
==== ''Java Edition'' ====
* 2.5 seconds with no armor
* 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments
* 4 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments
* 4.5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments
* 5.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments
* 10.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments
* 11 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments
==== Bedrock Edition====
* 2.5 seconds with no armor
* 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments
* 4.5 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments
* 5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments
* 6.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments
* 12.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments
* 12.5 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments
If the player is wearing armor enchanted with [[Fire Protection]], they can last even longer. With the maximum bonus, the damage is small enough that the natural healing from a full hunger bar can outpace it {{only|JE|short=1}}, so a player could survive indefinitely as long as they have food and their armor holds up (non-netherite armor is damaged by lava). This maximum bonus can be obtained by wearing 2 pieces of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 1 with [[Protection|Protection IV]], or 1 piece of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 3 with [[Protection|Protection IV]].
==== Fire spread ====
Lava can cause fires by turning air blocks to fire blocks.
In order for air above lava to turn to fire, a block adjacent to the air has to be [[Fire#Burning blocks|flammable]], or one of the wood-constructed [[Fire#Non-flammable blocks|non-flammable]] blocks. Since catching fire depends on air blocks, even torches or lava itself can prevent a flammable block from catching fire. Additionally, not all flammable or wood-constructed blocks can be ignited by lava.
The lava of any depth can start fires this way, whether or not it appears to have a current.
Additional conditions must be met, depending on the edition of Minecraft.
===== Java Edition =====
{{FakeImage|align=right|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|L=lava|w=Oak Planks|p=Orange Stained Glass|s=Light Gray Stained Glass|wwwwwwwww|wwsssssww|wspppppsw|wwspppsww|wwwsLswww|wwwwwwwww}}|Example for JE. The orange area represents areas<br>where air could catch flame if the<br>gray and orange areas contain<br>flammable blocks. The wood<br>is all at a safe distance.
}}
Air block must be in a 3×1×3 area right above the lava or in a 5×1×5 2 blocks above the lava.
Note that an air block in the 5x1x5 area will not catch on fire if the 3x1x3 area is completely filled, even if the latter is filled with flammable blocks.
===== Bedrock Edition =====
The block to be set on fire must be in a 3×3×3 cube centered on a lava block, above which there must be either air or an ignitable block.
=== Flow ===
{{See also|Fluid}}
Lava flows from "source blocks". Most streams or "lava-falls" come from a single source block, but lava lakes (including the "flood lava" in the bottom 10 layers) are composed entirely of source blocks. A source block can be captured only with a [[lava bucket|bucket]].
In the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], lava travels 3 blocks in any horizontal direction from a source block. Lava flows far more slowly than water (1 block every 30 game ticks, or 1.5 seconds), and sourceless lava flows linger for a short time more. In [[the Nether]], lava travels 7 blocks horizontally and spreads 1 block every 10 game ticks, or 2 blocks per second, which is half the speed as water in the Overworld. In all dimensions, lava spreading uses the same mechanic as water: for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. (This can result in lava flows turning toward dropoffs that they cannot reach in the Overworld and the End.)
Flowing lava destroys the following in its path: [[sapling]]s, [[cobweb]], [[tall grass]], [[dead bush]], [[wheat]], [[flower]]s, [[mushroom]]s, [[snow]] on ground (but snow blocks are immune), [[lily pad]]s, [[vines]], [[lever]]s, [[button]]s, all three types of [[torch]]es, [[redstone]], [[redstone repeater|repeaters]], [[end rod]]s, and [[rail]]s. [[Sugar cane]]s hold back lava, but disappear if the sugar cane's water source is destroyed by the lava. Lava also slows down entities, including those that are normally immune to lava damage.
Using redstone wire, a one-block lava flow can be redirected by supplying power to the source block, which causes it to reset the flow toward the now-nearest terrain depression. It cannot, however, be reversed. This re-calculation is made because of the redstone wire when toggled changes the block from redstone (on) to redstone (off). Whenever a block updates on any side of the lava, the lava re-calculates where to flow, but does not cut off its current direction of flow. In Bedrock Edition using the /setblock command can be used to create stationary lava without the use of barriers.
Flowing lava can push entities.

=== Lava and water ===
{{Main|Fluid#Mixing}}
Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. Lava can also generate basalt when above soul soil and touching blue ice.
=== Light source ===
Lava blocks emit a [[light]] level of 15.
=== Other ===
[[File:LavaDropletsExample.png|thumb|If there is lava flowing above a [[block]], the lava seeps through.]]
Lava above a non-transparent block (does ''not'' include stairs, fences, and slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. These droplets do not do anything other than warn the player that a deluge of lava lies above that block. The particles function identically to their water counterparts, except that they drip slower.
Flowing lava can set off tripwires because it breaks placed string. Lava triggers a tripwire only once.
Any [[item (entity)|item]] dropped into lava is immediately destroyed, except for [[netherite]]-related items. [[Lodestone|Lodestones]], however, can be destroyed by lava despite containing netherite.<ref>{{bug|MC-176618|||WAI}}</ref>
Lava can be placed in an empty [[cauldron]].
If lava is above a non-transparent block supporting [[pointed dripstone]], dripping particles are created on the end. These can fill cauldrons with lava.
== Farming ==
{{main|Tutorials/Lava farming}}
Lava farms can be created by placing a lava source block on top of a solid block and a [[pointed dripstone]] and a [[cauldron]] underneath.

Lava spends most of its time as stationary, rather than 'flowing' – regardless of its level, or whether it contains a current downward or to the side. When specifically triggered by a block update, lava changes to 'flowing', update its level, then change back to stationary. Lava springs are generated as flowing, and lava lakes are generated as stationary.

* A player with [[Fire Resistance]] can swim in lava without taking damage, although the swimming speed does not become faster.
* A player cannot sprint-swim in lava.
* An arrow catches fire when shot into flowing lava, but not still lava.
* [[Water]] flows into lava-occupied blocks as though it were empty space, and vice versa.
* Although lava is a fluid, it is not possible to drown in lava. This applies to all mobs. However, it is still possible to suffocate in lava. This applies to almost every mob.{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-17073}}</ref>
* A player sleeping in a bed cannot be damaged by lava.
* If the lava is changed to be transparent via a [[resource pack]], it does not become transparent.
* {{IN|bedrock}}, lava does not deactivate [[elytra]] like [[water]] does.
* Despite flowing identically to water while in [[the Nether]], it was not possible to create an infinite spring of lava before [[Java Edition 1.19.3|1.19.3]].
** Before Lava source conversion was implemented, the ''Minecraft: Combat Handbook'' (2014) stated the possibility to create infinite sources of lava by simply creating a cross shape with 4 nether bricks and placing lava in the middle. As expected, this turned out to be false, as confirmed by [[Nathan Adams|Dinnerbone]].<ref>[[bugtracker:MC-71088|MC-71088]]</ref>
* Geologically, lava in the Overworld is consistent with [[wikipedia:Felsic lava|felsic lava]], and lava in the Nether is consistent with [[wikipedia:mafic lava|mafic lava]]. Felsic lava is slow, sticky, and does not run as far as mafic lava, which is relatively thin and runny.
* When lava source conversion was implemented, any text where lava was supposed to be said "lave" instead.
** A splash text now says "Made with 'lave'".

Trivia
- The customized world type is based on a Minecraft mod Ryan Holtz made in 2012 called Wedge.[5]
- The following preset can be used to generate a world similar to the Amplified world type:[6]
{"coordinateScale":684.412,"heightScale":684.412,"lowerLimitScale":512.0,"upperLimitScale":512.0,"depthNoiseScaleX":200.0,"depthNoiseScaleZ":200.0,"depthNoiseScaleExponent":0.5,"mainNoiseScaleX":80.0,"mainNoiseScaleY":160.0,"mainNoiseScaleZ":80.0,"baseSize":8.5,"stretchY":12.0,"biomeDepthWeight":2.0,"biomeDepthOffset":1.0,"biomeScaleWeight":4.0,"biomeScaleOffset":1.0,"seaLevel":63,"useCaves":true,"useDungeons":true,"dungeonChance":8,"useStrongholds":true,"useVillages":true,"useMineShafts":true,"useTemples":true,"useRavines":true,"useWaterLakes":true,"waterLakeChance":4,"useLavaLakes":true,"lavaLakeChance":80,"useLavaOceans":false,"fixedBiome":-1,"biomeSize":4,"riverSize":4,"dirtSize":33,"dirtCount":10,"dirtMinHeight":0,"dirtMaxHeight":256,"gravelSize":33,"gravelCount":8,"gravelMinHeight":0,"gravelMaxHeight":256,"graniteSize":33,"graniteCount":10,"graniteMinHeight":0,"graniteMaxHeight":80,"dioriteSize":33,"dioriteCount":10,"dioriteMinHeight":0,"dioriteMaxHeight":80,"andesiteSize":33,"andesiteCount":10,"andesiteMinHeight":0,"andesiteMaxHeight":80,"coalSize":17,"coalCount":20,"coalMinHeight":0,"coalMaxHeight":128,"ironSize":9,"ironCount":20,"ironMinHeight":0,"ironMaxHeight":64,"goldSize":9,"goldCount":2,"goldMinHeight":0,"goldMaxHeight":32,"redstoneSize":8,"redstoneCount":8,"redstoneMinHeight":0,"redstoneMaxHeight":16,"diamondSize":8,"diamondCount":1,"diamondMinHeight":0,"diamondMaxHeight":16,"lapisSize":7,"lapisCount":1,"lapisCenterHeight":16,"lapisSpread":16}
- If the Far Lands are re-enabled using mods, increasing the "Coordinate Scale" will cause them to generate much closer to the origin.[7]
