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, allowing the game's challenges to be tailored to the player's skill level.
World settings
There are four difficulty levels in the game: Peaceful, Easy, Normal and Hard. These can be changed when creating a world, in the settings, as well as with the /difficulty command.
Peaceful
No hostile mobs can spawn naturally, except for shulkers, hoglins, zoglins[Bedrock Edition only], piglins, piglin brutes[Bedrock Edition only], and the ender dragon. Of these mobs, only the Ender Dragon can deal damage to the player. No spiders, cave spiders, zombified piglins 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. 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. TNT deals no direct damage to the player, but it does give knockback still, meaning a player can be killed by it if it launches them too far upward. The hunger bar never depletes; in Java Edition, players therefore cannot eat anything except golden apples, chorus fruits, and milk buckets, unless the player switched to Peaceful when their hunger bar was below the maximum. Players can eat normally in Bedrock Edition. Additionally, if the hunger bar is below the maximum, it regenerates quickly.
On Peaceful, there is only a 1 in a trillion chance that the portal is activated without any player intervention because The End cannot be accessed unless a seed with the End Portal already filled in is used, or by trading with villagers for eyes of ender in pre-1.9. Blaze rods are for the most part required to activate the End Portal, and eyes of ender have a 10% chance of already existing in each of the end portal frame blocks, and the only way to obtain blaze rods to make the eyes of ender is directly from a blaze. However, due to the huge number of possible seeds, over 8 million seeds in Java Edition are known to generate portals filled with 12 eyes of ender.[1] Also, not all achievements can be completed in peaceful difficulty.
Easy
Hostile mobs spawn, but they deal less damage than on Normal difficulty. The hunger bar can deplete, damaging the player until they are left with 10![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
if it drains completely. Cave spiders and bees 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 break down doors, and do not turn villagers into zombie villagers. Zombies and skeletons rarely wear full sets of armor. Hostile mobs like zombies, skeletons, spiders, husks and strays deal about 1
or 2
damage.
Normal
Hostile mobs spawn and deal standard damage, about 2
or 3![]()
. The hunger bar can deplete, damaging the player until they are left with with 1
if it drains completely. Zombies do not break down doors, but villagers killed by zombies have a 50% chance of turning into zombie villagers. Zombies and skeletons rarely wear sets of enchanted armor. Vindicators can break doors.
Hard
Hostile mobs deal more damage than on Normal difficulty. The hunger bar can deplete, damaging the player until they die if it drains completely. Zombies can break through wooden doors and can spawn reinforcements when attacked. Spiders can spawn with a beneficial status effect (speed, strength, regeneration & invisibility), with these effects having an infinite duration in Java Edition. Villagers killed by zombies always turn into zombie villagers. Pillagers spawn near the player, with their attacks dealing 4![]()
damage. In Bedrock Edition, if the world type is infinite, they deal 5![]()
![]()
damage.
Hardcore mode[Java Edition only]
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, they can choose to respawn in Spectator mode or return to the title screen. In multiplayer, the player's gamemode is automatically set to Spectator mode upon their death.
The only way to change the difficulty of Hardcore is to use the Open to LAN feature in the pause menu to enable commands, or to use an .NBT editor on the world's .NBT file.
This difficulty is currently not available in 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, since 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
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 daytime 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 daytime in the world is the value from /time query daytime added to the "Day" on the F3 debug screen converted to ticks, i.e. daytime + (dayNumber * 24,000). This is not the same as the actual playtime in the world (the value from /time query gametime). It affects the regional difficulty after the first 3 in-game days, and has no additional effect after 63 in-game days.
In pseudocode, the calculation of regional difficulty is:
# DaytimeFactor, ChunkFactor, and RegionalDifficulty are floating-point variables # MoonPhase is as in the table above. if (difficulty is Peaceful) return 0 if (TotalDaytime > 63 in-game days) DaytimeFactor = 0.25 else if (TotalDaytime < 3 in-game days) DaytimeFactor = 0 else DaytimeFactor = (TotalDaytimeInTicks − 72,000) / 5,760,000 if (ChunkInhabitedTime > 50 hours) ChunkFactor = 1 else ChunkFactor = ChunkInhabitedTimeInTicks / 3,600,000 if (difficulty is Normal or Easy) multiply ChunkFactor by 0.75 if (MoonPhase ÷ 4 > DaytimeFactor) add DaytimeFactor to ChunkFactor else add (MoonPhase ÷ 4) to ChunkFactor if (difficulty is Easy) multiply ChunkFactor by 0.5 RegionalDifficulty = 0.75 + DaytimeFactor + ChunkFactor if (difficulty is Normal) multiply RegionalDifficulty by 2 if (difficulty is Hard) multiply RegionalDifficulty by 3 return RegionalDifficulty
The raw regional difficulty therefore is always 0.0 on Peaceful and ranges from 0.75 to 1.5 on Easy, 1.5 to 4.0 on Normal, and 2.25 to 6.75 on Hard.
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 63 in-game days (1512000 game ticks) in a fully-inhabited chunk on a full moon; and on Hard after 63 in-game days the effects reach the maximum in chunks inhabited 4 1⁄6 hours during a full moon and remain at maximum in chunks inhabited over 16 2⁄3 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
| Java Edition Classic | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 14, 2009 | Notch 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." | ||||

'''Snowballs''' are throwable combat items that hit but do not damage most [[Mob|mobs]] on impact.
== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Snow farming}}
=== Mining ===
A [[shovel]] without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment can get 4 snowballs by breaking a [[snow block]], and 1–8 snowballs by breaking or blasting [[snow layer]]s – one per layer. The [[Fortune]] enchantment does not affect these amounts.
{{IN|bedrock}}, snowballs are dropped from snow layers even when mined with a Silk Touch shovel.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-59729||Snow layers don't drop themselves when mined with a silk touch enchanted shovel}}</ref>
==== Explosions ====
Creeper and TNT [[explosion]]s leave snowballs in the resulting debris field if near snow.
==== Ravagers ====
{{IN|BE}}, Ravagers destroy snow layers, dropping snowballs.
==== Pistons ====
{{IN|BE}}, a block or piston head pushed into the position of snow layers destroys the snow layers, dropping snowballs. 1-3 layers drops 1 snowball, 4-5 layers drops 2 snowballs, 6-7 layers drops 3 snowballs and 8 layers drops 4 snowballs.
=== Mob loot ===
[[Snow golem]]s drop 0–15 snowballs upon death, unaffected by [[Looting]].
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|snowball}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Combat ===
[[File:Throwing a snowball on a pig.gif|300px|thumbnail|right|Throwing a snowball on a pig animation.]]
Snowballs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. There is no charging time or cooldown for firing them,{{Until|java Combat Tests}} meaning they can be thrown as fast as the player can click.
Like other projectiles, snowballs are affected by gravity: their range is the same as those of [[egg]]s and [[ender pearl]]s, less than that of [[arrow]]s fired from [[bow]]s, and more than that of [[splash potion]]s. In [[Bedrock Edition]], players will receive damage and will be knockbacked.
Snowballs deal {{hp|3}} each to [[blaze]]s but they deal no damage to other mobs. Mobs still receive knockback and act the same as if they were being damaged (for example, [[zombified piglin]]s who are hit by snowballs become aggressive). Players {{in|BE}} receive knockback, while players {{in|JE}} are unaffected.<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>{{Until|java Combat Tests}}
When fighting the [[ender dragon]], [[end crystal]]s are able to be destroyed by snowballs being thrown at them.
Snowball, like other projectiles, can be used to distract the [[warden]]. A warden walks towards the location where the snowball lands to inspect it, giving the player time to escape. However, if snowballs are fired too frequently (at least twice in 5 seconds), the warden walks straight to the player instead.
In the new versions they can hit players but just only in bedrock
=== Dispenser ===
Snowballs can be fired from [[dispenser]]s.
== Sounds ==

Thrown snowballs use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

A '''melon slice'''{{efn|Known as '''Melon Slice''' {{in|java}} and '''Melon''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Block loot ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Pumpkin and melon farming|title1 = Pumpkin and melon farming}}
Melon slices can be obtained by breaking (harvesting) [[melon]]s using any [[tool]] or by hand. [[Axe]]s, followed by [[sword]]s, are the fastest tools for harvesting melons. A melon drops 3–7 melon slices, when broken; by hand, using a [[tool]], or after being broken by the movement of a [[piston]], with an average of 4.64 slices per melon.
Breaking a melon with a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]] increases the potential number of drops by 1 slice per level, up to a maximum of 9 slices.
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}
To eat a melon slice, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Composting ===
Placing a melon slice into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Chest loot ===
On the base of <code>ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2</code>, a single golden apple is contained in the [[chest]]. Eating it at that location unlocks the [[piston]] doors to the [[redstone]] labs beneath.
{{LootChestItem|golden-apple}}
== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}
To eat a 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 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
Unlike most foods, golden apples can be eaten when the hunger bar is full.
The golden apple provides:
*[[Absorption]] I for 2 minutes (providing {{hp|4|absorption=1}} points of absorption health)
*[[Regeneration]] II ({{hp|1}} every 25 ticks, {{hp|2|notag=1}} × 0.4 per second) for 5 seconds (long enough to heal {{hp|4}} points of damage)
=== Curing zombie villagers ===
{{main|Zombie Villager#Curing}}
A golden apple and a [[potion of weakness]] can be used to convert a [[zombie villager]] into a regular [[villager]].
=== Horses ===
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.
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden apples. They run toward any golden apples on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory. However, piglins do not eat golden apples (or any [[food]]).

Prior to [[Java Edition Beta 1.8]], the golden apple outwardly restored the player's full {{hp|20}} health points; Internally however, it is set to restore over double that, at {{hp|42}} health points. This is most likely a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy], making it restore (the meaning of) life, 42 (health points). This is far before either the [[Absorption]] or [[Health Boost]] effects, causing this reference go unnoticed.

'''Dyes''' are a set of sixteen items used to change the color of [[wool]], [[carpet]]s, [[terracotta]], [[concrete powder]], [[glass]], [[shulker box]]es, [[bed]]s, [[candle]]s, the patterns on [[banner]]s, [[firework star]]s, certain mobs, and text on [[sign]]s and [[hanging sign]]s. {{IN|bedrock}} they can also be used to dye water in a [[cauldron]] (which is thereafter used to dye leather [[armor]]); {{in|java}} leather armor can be dyed directly. {{IN|education}} dyes can also be used to dye [[balloon]]s and [[glow stick]]s.
{{IN|bedrock|education}}, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa bean]]s can generally substitute for [[white dye]], [[black dye]], [[blue dye]], and [[brown dye]], respectively, in crafting recipes and for use in dyeing items or mobs. However, they have other important uses that aren't related to color, and are therefore not considered true dyes. They are mentioned in this article only in regard to their use as dyeing agents; see their individual articles for complete information about them.
[[File:Dye Recipes.png|400px|thumb|A guide for creating all the dyes]]
== Obtaining ==
<!--[[File:Dye Chart.png|350px|thumb|A guide to crafting all the dyes.{{until|java 1.14}}]]-->
Dyes can be produced by crafting them from plants (mainly flowers), by crafting dyes of different colors together, by smelting plants, or by trading with a [[wandering trader]].
{{loadPage|Crafting/Dye|Crafting|h3}}
=== Smelting ===
{{smelting|head=1|Sea Pickle|Lime Dye|0,2}}
{{smelting|foot=1|Cactus|Green Dye|1|}}
=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s can sell 3 dyes for an [[emerald]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can also sell 3 lapis lazuli, bone meal, cocoa beans, or ink sacs for one emerald.
Apprentice-level cleric [[villager]]s sell one lapis lazuli per emerald.
=== Chest loot ===
{{#invoke:LootChest|base3|blue-dye,green-dye,orange-dye,light-blue-dye,yellow-dye,white-dye}}
=== Other ===
Ink sacs can also be created using 1 iron, 1 sulfur, and 4 oxygen in the [[compound creator]]. {{only|bedrock|education}}
== Usage ==
Similar to their use in crafting, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa beans]] can be substituted for the corresponding dye in any of the following usages unless otherwise specified.{{only|bedrock}} <!--- sections are ordered by craftable dyeable blocks, dyeable items, version exclusive sections, and non-crafting miscellaneous uses--->
=== Dyeing wool and mobs ===
Players can dye wool by placing [[wool]] and any dye in a crafting grid.
{{Crafting

}}
Dyes can be {{control|use|text=used}} on sheep to change the color of the wool. Shearing a colored sheep drops the corresponding color of the wool, and the sheep retains the color when the wool regenerates. [[Breeding]] colored sheep produces a lamb colored as one of the parent sheep, or a color resulting from the combination of both parents' color. The color combining follows the same rules that dyes use – red and yellow sheep produce an orange lamb, but a blue and yellow sheep cannot create a green lamb. The unlimited reproduction of colored sheep makes dyeing and shearing sheep infinitely more efficient than just dyeing wool directly.
Dye can also be used on a tamed [[wolf]] or [[cat]] to change the color of its collar from the default red to the color of the dye.
=== Dyeing carpets ===
Carpets can be dyed.
{{Crafting

=== Banner patterns ===
{{main|Banner#Patterns}}
Dyes are used in most banner patterns to determine the pattern and color displayed.
=== Dyeing armor ===
[[File:DyeGraph2.png|200px|thumb|A graph showing all combinations of two dyes on a [[tunic]].]]
Leather [[armor]] can be dyed by:
* Crafting dyes with a piece of leather armor or leather [[horse armor]].{{Only|java}}
* Dousing the leather armor or leather [[horse armor]] in a [[cauldron]] to which dyes have been added.{{Only|bedrock}}
There are 5,713,438<ref>https://anrar4.github.io/DyeLeatherArmor/</ref> (34.1% of sRGB) colors leather armor can be, as it is possible to put more than one dye on the crafting bench alongside the leather armor. Armor can be dyed multiple times with previous colors affecting the final outcome. Colored armor can be reverted to their original color using a [[cauldron]] with undyed water.
The game has a specific formula for calculating the color of dyed armor: each color, in the RGB color model, has a red value, green value, and blue value. For each dye in the crafting grid, and the armor itself (if it is already dyed), the red, green, and blue values are added to running totals. In addition, a running total of the highest value (be it red, green, or blue) is also kept. After this, each total is divided by the number of colors used. This effectively produces the average red, green, blue, and maximum values. The maximum value of the average RGB values is also calculated. Finally, each average RGB value is multiplied by the average maximum value and divided by the maximum of the average RGB values. The modified average RGB values are then used as the final color. This procedure can be summed up with the following equations:
for each color (all "total" variables start at 0 before counting):
totalRed = totalRed + redValue
totalGreen = totalGreen + greenValue
totalBlue = totalBlue + blueValue
totalMaximum = totalMaximum + max(redValue, greenValue, blueValue)
numberOfColors = numberOfColors + 1
averageRed = totalRed / numberOfColors
averageGreen = totalGreen / numberOfColors
averageBlue = totalBlue / numberOfColors
averageMaximum = totalMaximum / numberOfColors
maximumOfAverage = max(averageRed, averageGreen, averageBlue)
gainFactor = averageMaximum / maximumOfAverage
resultRed = averageRed * gainFactor
resultGreen = averageGreen * gainFactor
resultBlue = averageBlue * gainFactor
Due to the way this formula works, the resulting color can never be darker than the average of the input colors and is often lighter and more saturated. Of course, the resulting color can never be lighter or more saturated than the lightest or most saturated input color. In addition, this formula never creates an RGB value higher than 255 (which would be invalid in the 8-bit RGB color model).
If leather armor is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when dyed or undyed.

=== Dyeing firework stars ===
A [[firework star]] can have a single color or a combination of up to eight colors when crafted with dyes. Adding one or more dyes to a crafted firework star adds a "fade to color" effect to it, overwriting any existing fade colors.

=== Dyeing water inside cauldrons ===
Water can be dyed in a cauldron by holding any dye in the hand and pressing {{Ctrl|use}} on a cauldron filled with water.{{only|bedrock}}
=== Signs ===
Dye can be {{control|used}} on a [[sign]] or a [[hanging sign]] to change the text color. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[ink sac]]s cannot be used for this purpose; black dye must be used to change the text to black.
=== Trading ===
Apprentice, journeyman and expert-level shepherd [[villager]]s buy any of the 12 dyes for an [[emerald]].
== Color values ==
The "color codes" are used to determine the color imparted on sheep, wolf and cat collars, firework stars, [[beacon]] beams, and dyed leather armor. The hex value is shown in the extended tooltips of dyed leather armor; however, to set the color using an NBT data tag in a [[command]], the decimal value must be used instead. The color values for firework stars are slightly different from the ones listed below, and use [[Item colors#Firework stars|these values]] instead.

* Players can obtain each one of every color with 1 cocoa bean, 2 yellow dye, 2 ink sac, 3 green dye, 4 lapis lazuli, 4 red dye, and 6 bone meal (2 bones).
* The dyed sheep breeding behavior mirrors [[wikipedia:Lamarckism|Lamarck's theory]], in which the organisms evolve inheriting the external changes and adaptations of the previous generation, transmitting them to their offspring.
* In ''Bedrock Edition'', tertiary colors, along with their regular crafting recipes, can be crafted with primary colors. E.g.: Magenta can be crafted with one rose red and two bone meals.
* The colors of the dyes match the chat colors in [[color codes]] except for brown (dye only), light aqua, and gold (color codes only).
* The texture for light blue dye still uses the color from prior to the 1.12 World of Color update.<ref name="unchanged dyes"></ref>

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

}}
== 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]].

==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.

}}
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.

The '''camera''' is an [[entity]] that is capable of capturing and storing images. {{IN|edu}}, it works together with the [[portfolio]] item to create collections of [[photo]]s.<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-cameras-portfolios/</ref>
== Obtaining ==
The camera can be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]] in ''Minecraft Education''. It can be obtained either by NBT editors, inventory editors, or glitches in Bedrock Edition.
To get the block form of the camera in Bedrock Edition using an NBT editor, you need to set the item name of the block in the inventory slot (<code>name:</code> ) to <code>item.camera</code>, then you need to add a compound tag called <code>Block</code> and inside of that put the int tag <code>version: 18040335</code> and the text tag <code>name: minecraft:camera</code> into the block compound tag. For the usable "[[spawn egg]]" form of the camera, you only need to set the item name of the block in the inventory slot (<code>name:</code> ) to <code>camera</code>; you do not need to add the block compound for this form of the camera.
== Usage ==
Using a camera from the [[inventory]] captures a first-person screenshot. It can also be placed, creating a camera [[entity]] that can track the user, and take pictures from the camera's perspective. Photos that are taken using the camera appear in the [[portfolio]].
Close-up snapshots of an [[item]] on the ground can be taken by holding the Shift key while right-clicking.
Photos that are taken with the camera block are stored in <code>%localappdata%\Packages\MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\screenshots</code>.

=== Future ===
At the Minecraft [[Pocket Edition]] panel at [[MineCon 2012]], as well as one of [[Johan Bernhardsson|Jbernhardsson]]'s livestreams, it was stated that future plans include trying to have a proper use for cameras, perhaps an easier way to take screenshots and share them with others.<ref>{{ytl|YMhyX_lKWV4}}</ref> In the BlockTalk Q&A, the camera was briefly mentioned as part of a broader "sharing" theme planned for {{el|be}} in the future.<ref>{{ytl|Ruf6tvqsD84}}</ref>
It later got implemented into {{el|ee}}, using the camera to make screenshots and share them in a special book.
== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* A camera prevents a [[Book and Quill]] from working. Attempting to craft it or obtain it by commands gives a regular book instead, due to non-implementation of photo attaching to written books.
* The camera can take a screenshot, which appears a bit smaller with a thick paper outline having cuts on its edges, making it look like an old photograph.
* This feature is hidden from the Creative inventory and from the /give command item menu.

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>
1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) × 14 = 8.292, floored is 8
</blockquote>
;Calculating items from signal strength
:It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows:
:<code>items required = max('''''desired signal strength''''', roundup(('''''total slots in container''''' × 64 / 14) × (desired signal strength − 1)))</code>
:''Example:'' To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, players need 110 items:
<blockquote>
max(9, (3×64/14) × (9−1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110
</blockquote>

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