Elytra ( /ˈɛl ɪ trə/ (IPA key) ᴇʟ-i-trə (respell key)) (Elytra wings in Pocket Edition 1.0) are an item that allows the player to glide. Elytra are grey in color unless the player is wearing a cape, in which case the elytra will adopt the cape's design.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Elytra are found in end cities. One pair of elytra is found within an item frame in each end ship.
Repairing
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged Elytra | The durability of the two elytra is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. |
Usage
Gliding
Elytra are equipped in the chestplate slot. They can either be placed directly in the slot, or be equipped using a dispenser or by right clicking when in hotbar.
To initiate gliding, the player must jump in midair. From there, direction is controlled by looking left or right, and the flying speed and rate of descent is controlled by looking up or down. Looking upwards while gliding temporarily increases the player's altitude, however doing this for too long stalls the player, causing it to descend at a faster rate (indicated by the player moving their limbs). However, players have found ways to prolong elytra flight, such as continuously hitting yourself with a bow and arrow, particularly one with the Punch enchantment.
Elytra allow the player to travel 10 blocks horizontally for each block fallen when flying at a constant 0° pitch, not including the initial fall, resulting in a best constant glide angle of about 5.7°. The maximum flight time is obtained with a pitch of about 14° up. The maximum terminal horizontal velocity is approximately 67.5 m/s and is obtained with a pitch of about 52° down.[2]
Durability decreases by one point each second when flying. Elytra have 431 durability, resulting in 7 minutes and 11 seconds of flight. It is possible to apply the Unbreaking enchantment using an anvil and an enchanted book, which affects the elytra in the same way that enchantment affects tools, increasing flight time to about four seconds of flight per point of durability for Unbreaking III elytra. Low server tick will also increase this if the chunks are being created too fast for the computer to keep up.
The player will not take fall damage while the elytra are equipped unless hitting the ground or a wall at an excessive velocity, which can be caused by nose-diving or stalling. Fall damage will then be a result of the height fallen during the nose-dive or stall.
A player gliding with elytra has a shorter hitbox than usual: 0.6 blocks in height rather than 1.8 blocks.
Speed boost
When you hold a firework rocket in your hand and are gliding with elytra, using the firework rocket will boost the flying speed. If the rocket is equipped with a firework star of any kind, 7![]()
![]()
![]()
damage will be dealt to the player. The duration or strength of the speed boost is not affected in any way by the particular ingredients of the firework rocket.
Repair
When durability reaches 1, elytra will no longer work until they are repaired, and cannot lose more durability. These “broken” elytra have a different, tattered item texture, though they do not appear differently on the player. They may be repaired either by crafting two together or in an anvil, using leather: each piece of leather will repair the elytra by 108 durability, therefore requiring 4 leather to fully repair.
Enchantments
Elytra can receive the following enchantments in survival, but only through an anvil:

'''Pottery sherds'''<ref group="note">The word "[[wiktionary:sherd#English|sherd]]" or "[[wiktionary:potsherd#English|potsherd]]" is used by archaeologists to refer to fragments of pottery or other ceramics in order to differentiate them from "shards" of glass, metal, minerals and other materials.
</ref> are a set of twenty [[item]]s used to craft [[decorated pot]]s with ornamental designs. They can be obtained only by [[brush]]ing [[suspicious block]]s, with the variants of sherd obtainable being dependent on the structure.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
When a [[decorated pot]] is broken with a [[pickaxe]], [[axe]], [[shovel]], [[hoe]] or [[sword]] that is ''not'' enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops all of the pottery sherds and [[brick]]s used to craft it.
=== Suspicious block loot ===
Pottery sherds can be found as [[suspicious block]] loot in [[trail ruins]], [[ocean ruins]], [[desert pyramids]] and [[desert well]]s, and can be extracted from these blocks using a [[brush]].

'''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:

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.

== Trivia ==
* 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'".

}}
A '''glass bottle''' is an [[item]] that can hold [[water]], [[potion]]s, [[Honey Bottle|honey]], or [[dragon's breath]].
== Obtaining ==
Glass bottles can be obtained by crafting, drinking from bottles, [[fishing]], or from [[witch]] drops.
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A2= Glass
|C2= Glass
|B3= Glass
|Output= Glass Bottle,3
|type= Brewing
}}
=== Drinking ===
Drinking a [[potion]] or [[Honey Bottle|honey bottle]] returns the empty glass bottle. Throwing a splash potion or a lingering potion does not return a glass bottle, but brewing a lingering potion gives back a glass bottle.
=== Mob loot ===
[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–6 glass bottles upon death. This is increased by 3 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–15 glass bottles.
=== Mud ===
{{control|Using}} a [[water bottle]], [[splash water bottle]] or [[lingering water bottle]] on [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]] or [[rooted dirt]] will transforming it into a [[mud]] block, at the same time leaving the player with an empty glass bottle.
=== Cauldrons ===
{{control|Using}} a water bottle (or, {{in|bedrock}}, a potion, splash potion, or lingering potion) on a [[cauldron]] that is not yet full adds that liquid to the cauldron, leaving the player with an empty glass bottle.
== Usage ==
Glass bottles can be filled to make [[water bottle]]s, which can then be used to [[brew]] items with a [[brewing stand]]. Glass bottles are also used to hold the resulting [[potion]].
=== Collecting liquids ===
==== Water ====
A bottle may be filled with water by holding it in the hand and {{control|using}} it on a [[water]] source block or a [[cauldron]] that has water in it. It can also be filled using a waterlogged block.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-83420}}</ref>
Also, a bottle may be filled by powering a [[dispenser]] containing a bottle and pointed at a water source block. This does not work with cauldrons.<ref>{{bug|MC-165196|||Invalid}}</ref>
If filled via a water source, the water is unaffected. If filled via a cauldron, {{frac|1|3}} of the water in the cauldron is removed. Therefore, using a cauldron to fill water bottles is inefficient, except in [[the Nether]] where it is normally the only way to fill bottles.
==== Potion ====
{{IN|bedrock}}, a bottle may be filled with potion by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing potion. When the bottle is filled, {{frac|1|3}} of the cauldron's potion is removed.
==== Honey ====
If a [[beehive|bee nest]] or [[beehive]] is full, the player can {{control|use}} a glass bottle on the block, or may power a [[dispenser]] that contains a bottle and is pointed at the block, which empties the block and creates a [[honey bottle]]. Honey bottles can also be emptied by using them in crafting recipes (such as [[sugar]] or [[honey block]]). However, a lingering potion use on tipped arrow recipe does not give the bottle back.
==== Dragon's breath ====
{{control|Using}} a glass bottle in clouds emitted when the [[ender dragon]] breathes or shoots a [[dragon fireball]] fills the bottle with [[dragon's breath]].
When put 2 or more dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, a glass bottle will drop as an [[Item (entity)|entity]]. However, if put only 1 dragon's breath in the brewing stand, after the brewing process, the glass bottle is consumed and cannot be retrieved.<ref>{{bug|MC-259583}}</ref>
=== Trading ===
Expert-level cleric [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 9 glass bottles for one [[emerald]] as part of their trade.{{only|bedrock}}
Expert-level cleric villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to buy 9 glass bottles for one emerald.{{only|java}}

=== Mob loot ===
==== Pillagers ====
When killed, a [[pillager]] has a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow with random [[durability]]; the [[drop]] rate increases by 1% per [[level]] of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. The [[drop]]ped crossbow can rarely (10% chance) be [[enchanted]] at level 5–19 regardless of being [[enchanted]] when it [[spawn]]ed.
Crossbows dropped by pillagers may have multiple enchantments, including duplicate enchantments on the same weapon.
==== Piglins ====
[[Piglin]]s have a chance of wielding a crossbow upon spawning, and they also have a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow of random durability when killed; this rate increases by 1% per level of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. It can rarely (10% chance) be enchanted at level 5–19 regardless of being enchanted when spawned.

=== Weapon ===
[[File:Crossbowcooldown.gif|thumb|right|Charging and shooting the crossbow {{in|bedrock}}.]]
Crossbows are similar to [[bow]]s, but take longer to load and are slightly more powerful, shooting farther with slightly higher accuracy. Alternatively, they can be loaded with a firework rocket, which flies in a straight line.
Load them by {{control|using}} them, which makes the player move at sneak speed. Unlike bows, the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] can be fired only if the player releases the use button after the crossbow is loaded{{Only|je}} or if the crossbow finishes its loading animation {{Only|be}}. At this point, it ''must be used a second time'' to fire its bolt.
Once it has reached full charge, the [[player]]'s speed returns to normal. After that, shooting a charged crossbow does not delay any of the [[player]]'s current action like [[sprinting]] or [[swimming]].
The crossbow can even be placed in another [[inventory]] slot or into an [[item frame]] without the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] being unloaded or fired. A charged crossbow also remains charged after enchanting it with an enchantment table or with an anvil.
In order to use the crossbow, at least one arrow or firework rocket must be present in the inventory. The player can choose the type of arrow to fire based on its location in their [[inventory]]:
* Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected [[hotbar]] slot if the crossbow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first.
* If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot, the arrow closest to slot 0 is selected.
Crossbows take 1.25 seconds (25 ticks) to load.
The player can load either an arrow, spectral arrow, tipped arrow (of any effect) or a firework (of any color/type).
[[Endermen]] teleport away from projectile paths, so they cannot be hit with crossbow [[arrow]]s. However, they can still get harmed by [[firework rocket]] explosions, if they can't detect the firework rocket.

=== Fireworks ===
[[Firework rocket]]s can be fired by loading the crossbow only while holding the rockets in the off-hand. They fly at 32 m/s. Firework rockets with higher flight duration have a longer time before they explode and therefore travel farther. Firing a firework rocket uses 3 [[durability]] points per shot.

|}
Firework rockets also work with the [[Multishot]] enchantment, enabling the [[player]] to shoot 3 firework rockets at a time. The increased durability usage stacks, resulting in 9 durability being consumed with each shot.
A shot firework rocket explodes instantly when it hits a [[mob]] or [[block]].{{only|java}} If the firework rocket has no explosion effect, it deals no [[damage]]. The explosion of a firework rocket deals {{hp|5}} to {{hp|6}} points of damage, with one [[firework star]]. The explosion has a radius of roughly 4 blocks, which is unaffected by the firework star's [[Firework Star#Effects|effect]]. Each additional firework star on the rocket deals an additional {{hp|1}} to {{hp|2}} points of damage, for a maximum of {{hp|11}} to {{hp|18}} with 7 firework stars. The flight duration of the firework increases the maximum range the firework can travel before exploding, but does not affect the damage output. Likewise, the damage remains the same regardless of any dyes used. The [[Piercing]] enchantment causes the firework rocket to pierce a number of entities based on its respective level before exploding.{{only|java}} Unlike an arrow shot from a bow, the firework does not slow down under water.
=== Repair ===
Crossbows can be repaired in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]] by combining two crossbows. Any loaded ammunition is retained from the crossbow in the first slot but sacrificed from the crossbow in the second slot.
===Enchantments===

|-
|[[Quick Charge]]
|Decreases the reloading time of the crossbow by {{code|level * 0.25}} seconds. Crossbows with [[Quick Charge]] III fire slightly faster than [[bow]]s. If [[commands]] are used to enchant a crossbow with Quick Charge V, the crossbow charges instantaneously. A crossbow enchanted with Quick Charge VI is effectively impossible to charge, which renders it useless. This can be done only {{in|je}}.
|III
|-
|[[Multishot]]
| Makes the crossbow fire a spread of 3 projectiles at once instead of a single projectile, which is useful for targeting mobs spread out in a small area. This works for both [[arrow]]s and [[firework rocket]]s. Firing with this enchantment still uses only one projectile, and because of that, it is possible to recover only one of the three arrows shot from a Multishot crossbow. Multishot crossbows use 3 [[item durability|durability]] points per shot, unless using fireworks for ammunition, in which case 9 durability is consumed. Mutually exclusive with Piercing.
|I
|-
|[[Piercing]]
|Makes [[arrow]]s shot from the crossbow pierce [[entity|entities]] they hit and continue their flight, which allows each arrow to hit up to {{code|level + 1}} entities. This is useful for targeting [[mob]]s closely packed together, and for conserving arrows, as they can be picked up after piercing entities. Arrows fired in this manner also ignore [[Shield|shields]]. Mutually exclusive with Multishot.
|IV
|-
|[[Unbreaking]]
|Causes a <code>(Level /(Level+1)) * 100%</code> chance a shot fired does not reduce the [[item durability|durability]] of the crossbow.
|III
|-
|[[Mending]]
|Allows a certain proportion of [[experience]] orbs collected to contribute toward repairing the crossbow, rather than raising the [[player]]'s experience.
|I
|-
|[[Curse of Vanishing]]
| Causes the crossbow to disappear instead of dropping on the ground when the player dies. The {{cmd|gamerule keepInventory}} overrides this.
|I
|}
[[Multishot]] and [[Piercing]] are mutually exclusive. Normal methods of [[enchanting]] allow only one of them to be applied to a crossbow.
Crossbows can receive 3 unique [[enchanting|enchantment]]s, and have a base enchantability of 1. Enchantments specific to crossbows include [[Quick Charge]], Multishot and Piercing.
===Fuel===
Crossbows can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, [[smelting]] 1.5 [[item]]s per crossbow.

==Trivia==
*Alongside [[pillager]]s, crossbows were inspired by ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]'', even though they were added in the base game first.<ref>{{cite|url=https://discord.com/channels/579770991056519194/818903542139453480/819631528593588244| title = March 2021 developper Q&A|website=discord.com|date=March 11, 2021}}</ref>
*Crossbows [[enchanting|enchanted]] with [[Quick Charge]] VI and above get stuck on the first frame on the recharging animation because the resulting charge time is negative, and the game never reaches the time markers that tell it to advance the animation or the reloading procedure itself. It is technically possible to charge such crossbows, but this would require overflowing the value that determines how long the crossbow has been charged. This takes such an amount of time that this is practically impossible: for example, charging a crossbow with Quick Charge VI would take 69.4 years to complete.
*Although Piercing allows arrows to bypass [[shield]]s, they can't get through the wither armor.
*The crossbow's first-person loading animation in [[Bedrock Edition]] is different from [[Java Edition]].
*Even if a crossbow is already wound with a projectile, when it drops on the ground, it always looks uncharged.<ref>{{bug|MC-137552}}</ref>
*In real life, crossbows don't shoot the same arrows as bows, rather they shoot shorter, thicker, and oftentimes fletchless arrows (usually called "bolts") made to withstand the crossbow's increased power, which can shatter conventional arrows.

Trivia
In real life, elytra are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that cover the wings they actually use for flight. Elytra are not actually used for flight in real life.
- It is possible to jump 1.5 blocks while wearing elytra. If the player sprints at the wall and rapidly presses jump, the player activates the elytra, and swoops up to land on top of the wall, even though the player cannot normally jump it.
- If you fly into deep water with elytra equipped the flying animation will not stop, making it look as if there's better swimming animations. Once you touch ground, though, the flying animation will stop.
- Elytra can be equipped onto mobs using commands, although for some it doesn't work. Most mobs will follow one of three different flight paths (which they cannot control) before landing, at which they will regain their AI.
- Exceptions to this are squid and chickens, as the squid's AI will cause it to try and "swim" in midair, making it fall straight down because it conflicts with the elytra mechanics. Since chickens fall slowly, they will only move so far.
- Tamed wolves and cats which are not sitting will not teleport until they hit the ground. This also goes for endermen.
- When you hold a Firework Rocket in your hand and are wearing elytra, using the firework rocket will boost the speed at which you fly. However, in doing so, 7



damage is dealt to the player if the rocket has been crafted with a firework star.
