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, tailoring your skills depends on difficulty.

World settings

DifficultyButton

There are four difficulty levels in the game: Peaceful, Easy, Normal and Hard. These can be set in the settings, as well as by the /difficulty command.

Peaceful

No hostile mobs can spawn naturally, except for shulkers and the ender dragon, but they cannot deal damage to the player. Also, no spiders, cave spiders, zombie pigmen or endermenneutral 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. When the difficulty is switched from any other setting to Peaceful, all mobs that are not allowed to spawn on Peaceful are removed from the world. Players regain health rapidly over time. Despite this, 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, chorus fruits, and milk buckets unless the player has switched to Peaceful when their hunger bar was below the maximum in Java Edition. Players can eat normally though the hunger bar never depletes.‌[Bedrock Edition only] 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, leaving the player with 10♥♥♥♥♥ if it drains completely. Cave spiders cannot poison players on Easy difficulty, and the wither does not cause the Wither effect, although wither skeletons do. Lightning sets only the struck block on fire, not surrounding blocks. Zombies do not turn villagers into zombie villagers.

Normal

Hostile mobs spawn and deal standard damage. The hunger bar can deplete, leaving the player with 1♥ if it drains completely. Villagers killed by zombies have a 50% chance of turning into a zombie villager.

Hard

Hostile mobs spawn and deal greater damage than on Normal difficulty. The hunger bar can deplete, and the player starves to death if it drains completely. Zombies can break through wooden doors and can spawn reinforcements when attacked. Spiders can spawn with a beneficial positive status effect (speed, strength, regeneration & invisibility) and these effects have an infinite duration in Java Edition. Villagers killed by zombies have a 100% chance of turning into a zombie villager.

Hardcore mode

Main article: Hardcore

Hardcore Heart At the world creation screen, selecting Hardcore from among the game mode options causes the player to spawn in Hard difficulty, does not allow it to be changed, and allows the player only one life. In a single player world, if the player dies, the player can choose to respawn in Spectator mode or delete the world. In Multiplayer, the player's gamemode automatically sets to Spectator mode upon the player's death.

The only way to change the difficulty of Hardcore is to use cheats and make it a LAN Server.

Currently not available in the Realms.

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.

The moon does not actually have to be in the sky for this effect to take place, the moon exists in daytime and across dimensions.

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

Local Difficulty Debug

Regional difficulty values shown on the debug screen

Regional difficulty or local difficulty is a value between 0.00 and 6.75 that the game calculates by considering not just the world difficulty setting, but also the inhabited time of a chunk, the total play time in the world, and the phase of the moon. This value is shown on the debug screen as the first value listed after the heading "Local Difficulty". This value determines several aspects of the difficulty of gameplay (see below).

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.

The total play time in the world is a factor that 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 Medium )
     multiply ChunkFactor by .75
 else if ( difficulty is Easy )
     multiply ChunkFactor by .375

 if ( MoonPhase / 4 > TotalTimeFactor )
     add TotalTimeFactor to ChunkFactor
 else
     add MoonPhase / 4 to ChunkFactor


 RegionalDifficulty = 0.75 + TotalTimeFactor + ChunkFactor

 if ( difficulty is Normal )
     multiply RegionalDifficulty by 2
 if ( difficulty is Hard )
     multiply RegionalDifficulty by 3

 return RegionalDifficulty

The raw regional difficulty therefore ranges from 0.75–1.5 on Easy, 1.5–4.0 on Normal, and 2.25–6.75 on Hard.

Clamped regional difficulty

Regional difficulty to Clamped regional difficulty

How clamped regional difficulty relates to regional difficulty

The clamped regional difficulty is a value between 0.00 and 1.00 based on regional difficulty. This value is shown on the debug screen as the second value listed after the heading "Local Difficulty". This is yet another value that affects the difficulty of gameplay (see below).

The regional difficulty value is clamped 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, where regional difficulty is never higher than 1.5, the clamped value is always zero.

On Normal, the effects 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 reach the maximum in chunks inhabited only 4 16 hours during a full moon and remain at maximum in chunks inhabited over 16 23 hours.[verify]

Effects

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.

History

classic
June 14, 2009Notch discussed how his vision for Survival mode would incorporate the concept of difficulty: "When generating a new level or loading a creative mode level, you also select a difficulty. Difficulty levels will probably vary from 'challenging' to 'impossible', since I want the game to be difficult. If it's not fun to always be challenged, I'll add easier difficulties."

An '''enchanted golden apple''' ({{in|je}}), notch apple, or '''enchanted apple''' ({{in|be}}), is a rare, uncraftable variant of the [[golden apple]] that grants much more powerful effects when consumed.

== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-golden-apple}}

== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat an enchanted golden apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. It restores {{hunger|4}} points of hunger and 9.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

The enchanted golden apple provides: 
* [[Absorption]] IV for 2 minutes (providing {{hp|16|absorption=1}} points of absorption health)
* [[Regeneration]] level II {{in|java}} or V {{in|bedrock}} for 30 seconds ({{in|java}}, {{hp|1}} is restored every 25 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 0.4 per second) for 20 seconds (long enough to heal {{hp|16}} points of damage; {{in|bedrock}}, {{hp|1}} is restored every 6 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 1.66 per second for 30 seconds, which is long enough to heal up to {{hp|100}} points of damage.
* [[Fire Resistance]] I for 5 minutes
* [[Resistance]] I (20% reduced damage from all sources except the [[void]]) for 5 minutes

=== Horses ===
Enchanted golden apples can be used for improving the chances of taming a [[horse]] by 10%, for [[breeding]] and leading horses, and for speeding up the growth of [[baby]] horses by 4 minutes.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Enchanted Golden Apple|match=start}}
===Piglins===

'''Raw copper''' is a raw metal resource obtained from mining [[copper ore]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mining ===
Copper ore and deepslate copper ore mined with a [[stone pickaxe]] or better drops 2–5 units of raw copper. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop extra raw copper, allowing for a maximum of 20 units per ore block with Fortune III, or an average of 7.7 units of raw copper per ore block. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops the ore block instead.

'''Kelp''' is an underwater plant that generates in most [[ocean]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===

Kelp naturally generates in any [[ocean]] [[biome]]s (except in [[Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen]] and [[Warm Ocean|warm]]), near and around [[seagrass]]. Each chunk has {{frac|1|18}} chance to generate a [[vegetation]] of kelp.

=== Breaking ===

Kelp can be mined instantly with any [[tool]] or with the player's fist. Removing water from the kelp block destroys the kelp. Breaking one part of a kelp stalk destroys all kelp [[block]]s above it. Each block drops a kelp [[item (entity)|item]].

=== Trading ===

Kelp can be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 emeralds.

== Usage ==

Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}}. Placing it by hand gives it a random {{code|age}} value between 0 and 24. Kelp can be placed only in [[water]] source blocks or downward-flowing water, not horizontally flowing water.

When placed in downward-flowing water, the flowing water transforms into a water source block,<ref>{{bug|MC-134229}}</ref> which is useful for faster [[bubble column]] elevator creation.

Any building block can be placed on top of a kelp plant, which is useful for building structures over a deep ocean without needing to build from the ocean floor (see also [[lily pad]]).

=== Cooking ingredient ===

{{smelting
| showname = 1
| Kelp
| Dried Kelp
| 0.1
}}

=== Composting ===

Placing kelp into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Growth mechanics ===

Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks. It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or, {{in|Java}}, flowing water above it.<ref>{{bug|MC-133354}}</ref> Neither [[player]]s nor [[dispenser]]s can remove the water source block that kelp grows in without breaking the kelp first.

Kelp does not require any [[light]] level to grow. Kelp also grows without having [[sky]] access. [[Bone meal]] can be used to grow kelp by 1 block on each use.

Kelp, when planted, is generated with a randomly chosen age value, which can be checked when pressing [[Debug screen|<kbd>F3</kbd>]]{{only|java}}. The age value of a newly planted kelp plant varies randomly from 0 to 24. Each time the kelp grows in height by one block, the newly generated top of the kelp plant increases its age by 1. When the top block of the kelp plant reaches an age of 25, it stops growing. This means that kelp can naturally grow to a height between 2 (if the first kelp plant had an age of 24) and 26 blocks (if the first kelp plant had an age of 0). 

When a kelp plant block is broken, the age of the kelp plant block underneath is randomized to a value from 0 to 24 and the kelp continues growing until it reaches age 25. It is possible to use this mechanic to cultivate a kelp plant to increase its growth height beyond its natural maximum height of 26 blocks. This can be done by breaking the top-most block of the kelp plant each time it reaches age 25. A kelp plant cultivated by a player in this way repeatedly grows until it reaches the water surface.

Each time it receives a [[random tick]], kelp has a 14% chance of growing.

If [[shears]] are used on the topmost block of kelp, that block automatically sets its {{cd|age}} value to {{cd|25}} and stop growing.{{only|JE}}

=== Farming ===
{{Main|Tutorials/Kelp farming}}
Kelp farming is similar to farming [[sugar cane]], although kelp must be placed underwater. Automation of harvest is easier because items float up in water.

** Kelp in real life absorbs nutrients directly from the water, instead of through its root-like structure, [[wikipedia:Holdfast (biology)|holdfast]], which merely attaches it to the seabed. This is in accordance with kelp being able to grow on almost any solid block in ''Minecraft''.

{{Item
| image = Name Tag.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}}
A '''name tag''' is an [[item]] used to name [[mob]]s in the world and prevent them from despawning naturally.

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|name-tag}}

=== Fishing ===

Name tags can be caught from [[fishing]] as part of the treasure category with a {{frac|1|6}} chance after the 5% chance of being a treasure catch. The chance of catching treasure increases with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment.

=== Trading ===

Master-level librarian [[villagers]] offer to sell a name tag for 20 [[emerald]]s as one of their available trades.

== Usage ==

To use a name tag, it must first be renamed with an [[anvil]], costing 1 [[experience]] level. 

If it is not renamed, it has no effect when used on a mob. After the name tag is renamed, the player can {{control|use}} it on a mob to give it the name given to the name tag from the anvil. Mobs and name tags can be renamed any number of times. Name tags with the same name are stackable. 

Once a mob is named, it keeps its name, and the name tag is consumed.

When a mob is named, it is excluded from the mob cap count.

Effects on various mobs:
* A named [[silverfish]] that goes into a block appears to lose its name because it is replaced by a newly generated unnamed silverfish when the block is broken.
* A baby (animal or villager) keeps its name when becoming an adult.
** A named [[villager]] keeps its name when transformed into a [[Zombie Villager|zombie villager]].
** A named zombie villager keeps its name when cured.
* [[Wandering Trader|Wandering trader]]s still despawn even if they are named, or in a [[minecart]] or [[boat]].
* A named [[wither]]'s boss bar displays its name instead of "Wither".
* Naming an [[ender dragon]] with commands also displays the name in the boss bar.

=== Limitations ===

Any mob can be named except for the [[ender dragon]] and [[player]]s.

A name tag can rename an [[armor stand]], though it does not show the nameplate above its head until <code>CustomNameVisible:1b</code> is set as an extra step.

{{control|Using|use}} a name tag on a villager renames the villager instead of opening the trading interface. A saddled pig is renamed instead of being ridden. Using a name tag on any other mob that can be interacted with performs the {{control|use}} action instead of being named. These mobs can be renamed if the player uses the name tag while crouching or standing in a [[nether portal]] because the portal suppresses the {{control|use}} action.

Once a name tag is used on a mob, it is impossible to remove the name of that mob without the use of commands or external modifications.

=== Behavior ===

Renamed mobs have their name displayed over their head in the same fashion as a mob named through a renamed [[spawn egg]]. Their names can be seen only if they are aimed at from four or fewer blocks away.

Mobs that are named using the name tag never despawn in the world, similar to tamed mobs.<ref>{{tweet|dinnerbone|327485109940916226}}</ref> The exceptions are [[wandering trader]]s or if the mob is hostile and the difficulty is switched to "[[Peaceful]]", causing any hostile mobs or any named hostile mobs to despawn immediately. 

If a renamed mob kills a player, the custom name is used in the death message in place of the mob type name. For instance, if a vindicator named "Johnny" kills a player, the death message is "Player was slain by Johnny". 

A renamed [[wither]] also has a renamed health bar, and the boss bar doesn't regenerate{{verify}}.

=== Easter eggs ===

* Any mob that receives the name "[[Easter eggs#Upside-down mobs|Dinnerbone]]" or "[[Easter eggs#Upside-down mobs|Grumm]]" is rendered upside down. This even includes the player in early versions of Bedrock Edition if the username is set to either of these and you are not signed into Xbox Live.
* Naming a [[sheep]] "[[Easter eggs#Jeb sheep|jeb_]]" causes its wool to fade between the dye colors, producing a rainbow effect. The [[wool]] that drops when the sheep is [[shear]]ed or killed is the original color of the sheep before the sheep was named.
* Naming a [[rabbit]] "[[Rabbit#Toast|Toast]]" causes it to have a special memorial skin of user xyzen420's girlfriend's [http://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/27hjog/to_themogminer_my_bunny_is_missing_please_help_me/ missing rabbit].
* Naming a [[vindicator]] "Johnny" causes it to be aggressive and attack all [[mob]]s including the wither (except [[ghast]]s and other [[illager]]s). The hostility even extends to [[Ravager|ravagers]] in [[Java Edition|''Java Edition'']], as the "Johnny" vindicator can also attack the ravager while it's riding it.

* A [[villager]] with a name tag turned into a [[zombie villager]] by a [[zombie]] with a name tag does not despawn, but a villager with a name tag turned into a zombie by a zombie without a name tag does despawn.
* It is impossible to have a rainbow [[sheep]] upside-down, because it is impossible for it to be named “Jeb_” and “Dinnerbone” at the same time.

| rarity = Common}}
A '''diamond''' is a mineral that can only be obtained from [[Diamond Ore|diamond ore]], [[chest loot|loot chests]] and [[Suspicious Block|suspicious blocks]]. It is required to craft diamond [[tool]]s and [[armor]] (and therefore obtain [[obsidian]] to access the [[The Nether|Nether]]), [[enchanting table]]s, [[jukebox]]es and duplicate [[smithing template]]s.

== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Diamonds}}
=== Mining ===
{{see also|Diamond Ore#Natural generation}}
[[Diamond ore]] can be mined using an iron [[pickaxe]] or stronger. An ore drops a single diamond. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop an extra diamond per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 diamonds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops an ore block rather than a diamond. The ore is found at level 15 or lower, most commonly between -50 and -64; levels -58 and -59 are the preferred levels to mine at since they don't contain [[bedrock]], as it starts spawning at -60.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|diamond}}

=== Suspicious sand ===

When brushing [[suspicious sand]] in [[desert pyramid]]s, they have a {{frac|1|7}} chance to drop a diamond.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Block of Diamond
|Output= Diamond,9
|type= Material
}}

=== Smelting ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Diamond Ore; Deepslate Diamond Ore
|Diamond
|1
}}

== Usage ==

Diamonds are mainly used to craft high-tier armor and equipment, which in turn are also used in making [[netherite]] armor and equipment. 

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level armorer, toolsmith, and weaponsmith villagers buy one diamond for an emerald as part of their trades.

{{IN|java}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy one diamond for one emerald. Expert-level toolsmith villagers have {{frac|2|3}} chance of offering to buy one diamond for one emerald. Expert-level weaponsmith villagers always offer to buy one diamond for one emerald.

=== Repairing ===

Diamonds are the repair items for the diamond [[tier]] and [[armor material]], and thus can be used to [[item repair|repair]] the following items in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]]:
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Helmet}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Chestplate}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Leggings}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Boots}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Sword}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Pickaxe}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Axe}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Shovel}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Hoe}}

=== Beacons ===

Diamonds can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers then insert a diamond into the item slot. 

A diamond can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]], a [[gold ingot]], an [[emerald]] or a [[netherite ingot]].

=== Smithing ingredient ===
{{Smithing
|head=1
|ingredients=Any Armor Trim +<br/>Any Armor Piece + <br/>Diamond
|Any Armor Trim Smithing Template
|Netherite Chestplate
|Diamond
|Diamond Trim Netherite Chestplate
|showdescription=1

==Trivia==
*Unlike in ''Minecraft'', newly mined [[Wikipedia:Diamond|diamond]]s in real life are rough, cloudy stones. The largest, purest ones are polished into crystal-clear gemstones, while the rest are used in industry for cutting and grinding.
*Although diamonds themselves are not renewable, all tools, weapons, and armor made from diamonds can be acquired through [[trading]], and are therefore renewable. Other items crafted from diamonds are not renewable.
*In the April fools version [[Java Edition 2.0]], [[Diamond Chicken|diamond chickens]] can lay diamonds. This does not exist in newer versions, as this was a joke.
*The item forms of diamonds and [[Turtle Egg|turtle eggs]] have the same shape.
