Mobs in full armor are a common sight in higher difficulty levels.
Difficulty is an option in Minecraft that has a direct impact on the ease of gameplay.
General difficulty
There are currently four difficulty settings in the game:
Peaceful: No hostile mobs can spawn naturally, except shulkers and the ender dragon, which do not deal damage. Also, no spiders, cave spiders, zombie pigmen or endermen – neutral rather than hostile mobs – can spawn naturally. When any of these mobs attempt to spawn (whether naturally, through mob spawners, spawn eggs, or commands), they are removed from the game instantaneously. Switching from any other difficulty setting to Peaceful removes existing hostile mobs and the neutral mobs listed above, except for shulkers and the ender dragon, and except for neutral mobs currently hostile to the player such as polar bears, wolves, iron golems. Wolves and polar bears will still remain hostile to the player, though will be unable to inflict damage; llamas can still damage the player. Players regain health over time. Despite regaining health over time, it is still possible to die if damage is received quickly enough. The hunger bar never depletes and players cannot eat anything except golden apples and chorus fruits, unless the player has switched to Peaceful when their hunger bar was below the maximum. Additionally, If the hunger bar is below the maximum, it quickly regenerates.
Easy: Hostile mobs spawn, but they deal less damage than on Normal difficulty. The hunger bar can deplete and will leave the player with 10![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
if it drains completely. Cave spiders cannot poison players on Easy difficulty, and the Wither won't cause the wither effect, although wither skeletons will. Lightning only sets the struck block on fire, not surrounding blocks.
Normal: Hostile mobs spawn, and will deal standard damage. The hunger bar can deplete and will leave the player with 1
if it drains completely.
Hard: Hostile mobs spawn, and deal greater damage than on Normal difficulty. The hunger bar can deplete and the player will starve to death if it drains completely. Zombies can break through wooden doors and can spawn reinforcements when attacked. Spiders can spawn with status effects.
Hardcore gamemode
Hardcore causes the player to spawn in Hard difficulty and does not allow it to be changed. In single player, if the player dies, the player can choose to respawn in spectator mode or delete the world. In Multiplayer, if a player dies they are automatically banned from the server.
Mob damage
The damage mobs deal to players is affected by the difficulty of the game. The below values represent the amount of damage taken per hit.
- This applies only to mobs attacking the player. Mobs attacking other mobs always deal the 'Normal' damage listed, regardless of difficulty.
- Values for the creeper and ghast assume the player is directly adjacent to the explosion.
- The damage of slimes and magma cubes depends on their size. Tiny-sized slimes, while hostile, are unable to do damage directly.
- Mobs deal no damage to players on peaceful.

Moon phase
The phase of the moon has effects on the spawning of slimes in swamp biomes, and contributes to the calculation of regional difficulty. The fuller the moon is, the greater the effect. Note that the moon does not actually have to be out for this effect to take place—the effect of the moon's phase exists even at daytime.
| Moon phase | Value | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Full | 1.0 | 100% |
| Gibbous | 0.75 | 75% |
| Quarter | 0.5 | 50% |
| Crescent | 0.25 | 25% |
| New | 0.0 | 0% |
Regional difficulty
Regional difficulty is a variation in difficulty calculated based on several factors, including the “inhabited time" of the current chunk, the total play time in the world, the phase of the moon, and the current difficulty setting. The current regional difficulty is shown on the Debug screen as “Local Difficulty".
The “inhabited time" of a chunk increases for each tick a player spends with the chunk loaded. This is a cumulative measure of time—if 50 players spend a single hour in a chunk, it counts the same as if one player spent 50 hours there. The effect of inhabited time on regional difficulty is capped at 50 hours.
Total play time in the world also contributes to regional difficulty. This effect doesn't begin until after the first hour of play time and is capped at 21 hours.
In pseudocode, the calculation of regional difficulty is:
TotalTimeFactor, ChunkFactor, and RegionalDifficulty are floating-point variables
MoonPhase is as in the table above.
if ( TotalPlayTime > 21 hours )
TotalTimeFactor = 0.25
else if ( TotalPlayTime < 1 hour )
TotalTimeFactor = 0
else
TotalTimeFactor = ( TotalPlayTimeInTicks - 72,000 ) / 5,760,000
if ( ChunkInhabitedTime > 50 hours )
ChunkFactor = 1
else
ChunkFactor = ChunkInhabitedTimeInTicks / 3,600,000
if (difficulty is not Hard)
multiply ChunkFactor by 3/4
if ( MoonPhase / 4 > TotalTimeFactor )
add TotalTimeFactor to ChunkFactor
else
add MoonPhase / 4 to ChunkFactor
if ( difficulty is Easy )
divide ChunkFactor by 2
RegionalDifficulty = 0.75 + TotalTimeFactor + ChunkFactor
if (difficulty is Normal)
multiply RegionalDifficulty by 2
if (difficulty is Hard)
multiply RegionalDifficulty by 3
return RegionalDifficulty
The regional difficulty ranges from 0.75–1.5 on easy, 1.5–4.0 on normal, and 2.25–6.75 on hard.
When actually used in the game, this raw number is usually converted to a value in the range 0.0–1.0 as follows:
if ( RegionalDifficulty < 2.0 ) {
value = 0.0;
} else if ( RegionalDifficulty > 4.0 ) {
value = 1.0;
} else {
value = ( RegionalDifficulty - 2.0 ) / 2.0;
}
Thus, on easy, regional difficulty will have no effect; on normal the effects will reach the maximum after 21 hours of play time in a fully-inhabited chunk on a full moon; and on hard after 21 hours of play time the effects will reach the maximum in chunks inhabited only 4 1⁄6 hours during a full moon and will remain at maximum in chunks inhabited over 16 2⁄3 hours.

A '''compass''' is an item used to point to the world spawn or to a [[lodestone]].

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|compass}}
=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell a single compass for 4 [[emerald]]s.
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell a single compass for 4 emeralds.
== Usage ==
Normally, the compass' needle points toward the world [[Spawn#World spawn|spawn point]]. The compass points to spawn when viewed in any way, including as a dropped [[Item (entity)|item]], in a player's hand, in an inventory or the crafting table, or in an [[item frame]]. The direction the needle points to is relative to the player who is viewing it.
In [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], the compass' needle spins and points in random directions.
The compass can be used on a [[lodestone]], after which it is named lodestone compass by default and points to that lodestone as long as the compass is in the same dimension as the lodestone, but if the compass is taken to a different dimension, it spins randomly, as a normal compass would in the Nether or the End. If the lodestone is destroyed, it also spins randomly, even if the lodestone is replaced afterward. However, if a lodestone compass is placed in storage, the lodestone can be broken and replaced without the compass losing the attunement, as long as the compass remains in storage while the lodestone is missing.
A lodestone compass appears [[enchanting|enchanted]], similar to the [[Enchanted Golden Apple|enchanted golden apple]].
Using {{cmd|setworldspawn}} to change the world spawn also changes where the compass points.
=== Crafting ingredient ===

=== Trading ===
A single compass can be sold to a journeyman-level cartographer villager for 1 [[emerald]].{{only|java}}

* {{IN|java}}, apprentice-level cartographer villagers offer to sell an ocean explorer map for 13 emeralds and a compass, and journeyman-level cartographer villagers offer to sell a woodland explorer map for 14 emeralds and one compass.
=== Enchantments ===
A compass can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

'''Horse armor''' is a special type of [[armor]] that can be given to a [[horse]] to wear.
== Obtaining ==
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|iron-horse-armor}}
{{LootChestItem|golden-horse-armor}}
{{LootChestItem|diamond-horse-armor}}
===Crafting===
{{crafting
|A1= Leather
|C1= Leather
|A2= Leather
|B2= Leather
|C2= Leather
|A3= Leather
|C3= Leather
|Output= Leather Horse Armor
|type=Miscellaneous
}}
Only leather horse armor can be crafted; other horse armor can be obtained only from chest loot from some generated structures.
===Trading===
Expert-level [[leatherworker]] villagers [[trading|sell]] leather horse armor for 6 [[emerald]]s as part of their trade.
==Usage==
Only normal adult horses can wear armor; foals, [[donkey]]s, [[mule]]s, and undead variants such as [[skeleton horse]]s and [[zombie horse]]s cannot be equipped with armor.
=== Types ===
Horse armor has leather, iron, gold, and diamond variants. However, horse armor does not have netherite or chainmail variants.
=== Armor Stands ===
Horse armor cannot be placed or displayed on [[armor stand]]s.
===Protection===
Horse armor can be equipped to horses either by manually placing it in its respective slot by pressing E while riding the horse ({{SlotSprite|Horse Armor}}), or by right-clicking the horse with it.
There is a gradual increase in the defense given from a horse wearing the different types of armor. Note that golden horse armor provides more protection than iron horse armor, whereas the opposite is true for [[armor|player armor]].

|}
When a horse dies while equipped with any horse armor, it drops its normal loot, saddle (if it had one), and the horse armor.
Leather horse armor protects horses from freezing in [[powder snow]], but it does not negate other powder snow effects (e.g., falling through, inability to jump).
===Durability===
Unlike [[armor|player armor]], horse armor does not have durability. This means a single horse armor can be used infinitely unless destroyed.
=== Enchanting ===
Unlike [[armor|player armor]], horse armor cannot be enchanted in survival mode. However, {{in|java}} Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an [[anvil]] to enchant with [[Depth Strider]], [[Thorns]], [[Respiration]], [[Feather Falling]], and [[Curse of vanishing]]. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.
=== Dyeing ===
Leather horse armor can be dyed 12,326,391 different colors (using lone dyes or dye combinations) and put onto a horse to display that color. These changes can be reverted by {{control|using}} a filled [[cauldron]] with dyed leather horse armor.
===Smelting usage===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Horse Armor;Golden Horse Armor|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden horse armor and run toward any golden horse armor on the ground, inspecting it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory.

The '''Smarter Watch''' was a joke offhand [[item]].
== Usage ==
Smarter watches were "equipped" by having them placed into the offhand slot. Upon equipping, they would display the current time above the hotbar, in minutes and seconds, with one minute of in-game time being 5/6 of a real-time second, and one in-game hour being 5/6 of a real-time minute or 50 seconds.
The smarter watch would also notify the [[player]] of statistics milestones, alongside taken [[damage]], [[item]] specific info, [[crafting]] items and more.{{info needed|What exactly?}}

'''A very fine item''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], found only in the {{code|isolation}} dimension.
== Appearance ==
The texture of a very fine item resembles the side face of a grass block with the words "Home Sweet Home" written on it. Unlike most items, its texture is 64x64 pixels, rather than the usual 16x16.
== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
A very fine item can only be obtained from an item frame in the {{Code|isolation}} dimension. There is a maximum of 1 fine item that can be found legitimately in any world.
=== Cheats/Creative mode ===
This item can't be found in the creative inventory, but it can be middle-click duplicated in creative mode or given with the {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:fine_item <amount>}} command.
== Usage ==
This item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. It can still be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame.

A '''powder snow bucket''' is a [[bucket]] with [[powder snow]] inside.
== Obtaining ==
A powder snow bucket can be obtained by {{ctrl|using}} an [[empty bucket]] on a [[powder snow block]] or [[powder snow cauldron]].
== Usage ==
Pressing {{control|use}} while holding a powder snow bucket places a [[powder snow]] block. {{IN|Java}}, powder snow may also be placed inside empty [[cauldron]]s, creating powder snow cauldrons.
[[Dispenser]]s can also create and place powder snow buckets. However, they cannot do so with [[cauldron]]s. You can also use it to cushion falls in the [[nether]] by placing it below you when falling.

'''Sugar cane''' is a block found as 1–4-block-tall. It plants near water in the [[Overworld]]. As an item, it is an important crafting ingredient.
== Obtaining ==
Sugar cane can be mined instantly with anything.
When the spot a sugar cane block is placed in becomes unsuitable, such as when the supporting block is removed, the sugar cane block uproots and drops as an item. {{IN|be}}, sugar cane uproots immediately after all adjacent water is removed. {{IN|je}}, sugar cane uproots on the next block update or [[Tick#Random tick|random tick]].
A sugar cane block drops itself as an item if a piston tries to push it (trying to pull it does nothing) or moves a block into its space.
=== Natural generation ===
[[File:Sugar Canez.png|thumb|250px|Naturally-occurring sugar cane near a river.]]
Sugar cane can generate naturally near [[water]], as two ({{frac|11|18}} chance), three ({{frac|5|18}} chance), or four ({{frac|2|18}} chance) blocks tall. Rare taller sugar canes can be found if the world generator places two smaller canes on top of each other. It generates in approximately 0.8 sugar cane per chunk seeing as how they only generate near bodies of water.
Sugar canes attempt to generate 10 times in any Overworld biome, which requires water. An extra 10 attempts are made in [[swamp]] biomes, and 50 in [[desert]] biomes, which makes sugar cane twice as frequent in swamps and six times as frequent in desert biomes, making the banks of [[river]]s that cut through deserts lined with sugar canes.
Sugar cane cannot generate in caves {{in|je}}.<ref>{{bug|MC-214959||Sugar cane generated in cave|Fixed}}</ref>
=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s can sell sugar cane for an [[emerald]].
== Usage ==
Due to its water-displacing properties, sugar cane can interestingly be used to create underwater paths, allowing [[player]]s to move at normal speed and breathe if it is two blocks in height.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-929||Sugar cane can be placed underwater|WAI}}</ref>
Sugar cane takes on a different shade of green depending on the biome in which it is placed.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Sugar cane farming}}
[[File:Underground Sugar Farm.png|200px|thumb|An underground sugar cane farm.]]
Sugar cane can generate naturally up to any number of blocks tall, but ''grow'' only to a height of three blocks, adding a block of height when the top sugar cane block has received 16 random [[Tick#Block tick|block tick]]s (i.e. on average every 18 minutes on ''Java Edition''<!-- Average 68.27 seconds/tick * 16 ticks/growth = 18.2 minutes --> or 54 minutes on Bedrock Edition, but the actual rate can vary widely).
Sugar cane must be planted on a [[grass block]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[sand]], [[red sand]], [[suspicious sand]], [[moss block]], or [[mud]] that is directly adjacent to [[water]], [[waterlogged]] block, or [[frosted ice]] (not merely above or diagonal to water), or on top of another sugar cane block. The adjacent water block can be covered with another block, whether [[opacity|opaque or transparent]], and sugar cane can still be placed and grow next to it. Sugar cane grows regardless of light level, even in complete darkness.
[[File:4blockcane.png|thumb|A natural 4-block-high sugar cane plant.]]
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[bone meal]] can be used to instantly grow sugar cane to three blocks. Only one bone meal is consumed. {{IN|java}}, bone meal cannot be used on sugar cane.<ref>{{bug|MC-73963||Can't use bonemeal on cacti or sugar cane|WAI}}</ref>
On average, it takes [[Tutorials/Sugar_cane_farming#Mechanics|18 minutes]] for a single block of sugar cane to grow 3 blocks tall.
=== Composting ===
Placing sugar cane into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
*When a sugar cane is broken at the second level, the time resets (for example, if a two-block high sugar cane is broken, but is just about to grow to the third stage, it would reset that time).
*By placing more sugar canes on top of a sugar cane plant, it is possible to create tall sugar canes (up to y=319, the maximum height for building), although they do not naturally grow this high.
*Before sugar cane received an official name, they were sometimes referred to as [[bamboo]], a block added 9 years later. Other names were "reeds" and "papyrus".
