An Enderman (plural Endermen) is a three-block-high, humanoid, neutral mob that will attack the Player if provoked and any mob that attacks it. Endermen are known for their unique abilities to teleport and pick up blocks.

Along with those abilities, they also have a peculiar way of becoming provoked; as well as becoming provoked when attacked, Endermen will also become hostile when a player looks at their upper legs, torso, or head. If a player looked an enderman in the eyes from up to fifty blocks away in 1.2 or 1.3 it would still become provoked despite the distance, and would warp to the player and attack it. When provoked, the endermen will hiss a low sound for a short amount of time. As of 1.4 however, that distance was decreased to about half.

Endermen frequently spawn in The End, their home world, but they still require a light level of seven or less in order to spawn. They will also spawn in the Overworld, although about 10 times more rarely in comparison to other mobs. They spawn in pairs, and can be seen regularly at night in groups of up to five.


Appearance

They have black patterned skin, long limbs and a thin body, related to, so called "Slenderman". Endermen have glowing purple eyes and emit a purple particle effect similar to Nether portals or an Ender Chest. When aggressive their mouths will open and their bodies will shake violently as they rush towards you. A distinct sound will play when you have an aggressive Enderman rushing you. They will open their "mouths" when they attack or when they teleport. When they do teleport, they can appear behind you, so watch your back!

Endermen are purposely based on the urban myth "The Slenderman". a long limbed man with no face who kidnaps children whilst their back is turned.

Behavior

Endermen will take damage from coming in contact with water and rain.[1]. They always spawn in pairs, but sometimes pairs can mix and therefore appear to be a group, and likewise, one of the pair could teleport away, leaving a lone enderman.

Endermen are neutral mobs that don't attack unless provoked, like Zombie Pigmen. The difference is how they can be provoked. Aside from attacking one, if the player simply looks at the head or body (upper legs in SSP) Endermen will proceed to attack. This "staring" provocation can occur from a surprisingly long distance, so be careful when scanning an open area, like Plains or a Desert.


When provoked, Endermen will open their mouths and shake with rage. They will continue to shake even when the game is paused. Since 1.4.2, Endermen will make a snarl like sound when provoked. If they are, staring at their torso will stop them from moving, and you can go up to them and attack, at which they will teleport to behind you.

Endermen are unlikely give up a chase once made hostile; even when moving several hundred kilometers from them they will continue to follow until killed or distracted by exterior elements such as water or rain. Be very wary when a hostile Enderman suddenly disappears. They are still angry at you, but may have teleported too far away, into a nearby enclosed area, or are stuck. If you are lucky, they will teleport into water and die. Sometimes you may find Endermen while mining, so it is advisable to have a bucket of water.

Endermen become passive during daytime, teleporting away from the player rather than attacking, so Endermen become relatively harmless while on the surface during the day. However, Endermen are quick to retreat underground at dawn, so you are unlikely to see one aboveground.

In creative mode, you can't provoke Endermen by looking at them.

If a skeleton or the Ender dragon attacks an Enderman while attempting to attack the player, the Enderman will completely stop chasing the player, even after it has killed the offending attacker.[2]

Endermen can't see the player through transparent blocks such as glass.

Endermen's notable traits are the ability to pick up and move blocks and teleport.

Teleportation

When teleporting, an Enderman will leave a faint trail of particles similar to those of a nether portal leading to itself from where it teleported, but, if an Enderman is holding a block it will not leave a trail. Endermen teleport when coming in contact with rain or water - though not if set on fire. Endermen can step up one full block without having to jump. The range in which an Enderman can teleport is 32 blocks in most cases, however informal testing on superflat worlds shows they can travel much further on the Y axis. An Enderman can teleport onto any solid block, exceptions being blocks directly beneath water or lava. They can also not spawn on half-slabs and in spaces less than 3 blocks vertically.

An Enderman cannot teleport when it is in a minecart. However, if it is hit with a projectile, it will teleport out of the minecart and then immediately teleport back. It is nearly impossible to hit it with a projectile, even glitched. A flaming arrow will miss the Enderman, but it will still light the Enderman on fire. Likewise, when water falls on an Enderman while it is in a minecart, it will repeatedly try to teleport out of the minecart, but then will immediately teleport back into the cart. It will continue this until it eventually dies or the water is stopped. Endermen can also teleport into houses. In creative, if an enderman gets stuck in a hole 3 blocks deep, and is aggressive, it will not be able to teleport to get out. They also cannot teleport through bedrock, and are unable to teleport through holes smaller than them. This has been tested by encasing an Enderman in solid bedrock with a 1x2 glass window.

Moving blocks

Endermen will only pick up and move certain blocks, regardless of whether they were natural or placed by the player. They will pick up blocks horizontally and vertically nearby, within a short reaching distance similar to the player's (3 layers).

Endermen will not drop the block they are holding when enraged or slain. It will simply disappear.

Endermen can only pick up the following blocks: [3]

Grass Block
Dirt
Mycelium
Sand
Gravel
Clay
Netherrack

Dandelion
Rose
Brown Mushroom
Red Mushroom

Cactus
Pumpkin
Melon

TNT

Endermen cannot pick up entities, such as boats, minecarts, primed TNT, and mobs.

Damage to structures and environment

Because Endermen possess the ability to move blocks, they can cause damage to the natural environment and in some cases player-built structures. They can also allow fenced animals to jump out by placing blocks adjacent to fences.

On the Overworld signs of Endermen activity will become apparent in frequently loaded chunks in the form of misplaced blocks. In desert areas, Endermen may also pollinate cacti by removing blocks and placing them on fresh sand, gradually increasing the population of cacti in frequently loaded deserts.

Endermen do not spawn in lit areas but they may wander or teleport into lit areas from adjacent dark ones, particularly if rain or water causes them to teleport. Simply lighting structures liberally with torches is not a guaranteed defense.

Strategy

Preventing attacks

The only way to get an Enderman to chase the player is to hit it, or look at its face within the crosshairs. As Endermen are 3 blocks tall, the player can keep his or her house's interior 2-2.5 blocks tall to prevent Endermen from teleporting into it. Endermen are usually only encountered in relatively open spaces, as well; although they will still spawn, you're much more likely to see other mobs in cramped caves underground, before you see Endermen.

If the player sits in a pool of water, Endermen will take damage from the water, teleport away in response to the damage, and come back to attack. This makes it an easy way to kill them. But in Minecraft 1.3, Endermen will return neutral once taken damage in water.

If the player wears a pumpkin on his or her head and looks at an Enderman, it will not turn hostile when looked at. Once provoked, however, wearing a pumpkin will not prevent it from attacking or teleporting, though it will not teleport away if the player is within melee range.

If an Enderman is in the player's house or another area where the player wants it out from, the easiest method to remove it is to shoot it with an arrow, snowball, or egg while the Enderman is still non-hostile. This causes it to teleport away. An attempted shot to the head or torso lowers the chance of an Enderman teleporting to 35%, but an attempted shot to the arms, lower legs, or upper legs is a guaranteed teleportation. All arrows that do not make the Enderman teleport will simply bounce off. This tactic is quite useful for archers. If an arrow caused an Enderman to teleport in 1.2 the arrow would teleport also, but it would continue flying.

Another good method of getting rid of Endermen inside the player's house is to have a water source inside it and to use a piston to open and close this water source. When an Enderman enters the house, the player should open the gate, stand inside the running water, and look at the Enderman. It will come towards the player, teleport away from the water, come back, and eventually die.

Because Endermen take damage from water, building a moat is useful for preventing an encounter and an attack, although with the ability to teleport to you, this does not always work. The player could also try flooding the outside of his or her house with water so they cannot get in, though that means that the player needs a door to get in and out and stop flooding from the inside of his or her house. The player must also put blocks around his or her house in order to stop the flooding from spreading too far. This idea also stops creepers from blowing up the player's house, and mobs cannot get inside.

When provoked during the day, Endermen will teleport away rather than attack the player.

If Endermen comes nearby an active Creeper it will teleport away for a moment right before the Creeper explodes, giving you a small amount of time to get away.

When exploring caves with few torches, a player can spot an enderman by its glowing eyes. A player can use this characteristic to avoid accidentally staring at an enderman.

Combat

Endermen are damaged by attacks, falling, fire, lava, water, and poison. These are one of the most dangerous mobs in the game, in a one on one fight, and they should be respected on that basis.

Ideally you want your back against a wall. If you hit Endermen, they will often teleport behind you. (Only in multiplayer, the enderman will only Teleport somewhere inside a player's view.) Their melee attacks hit sufficiently hard, that you want to avoid being hit by them as much as possible. Get a sword and armor, made from the best material you've got. A flint and steel may also help, as although lighting them on fire is difficult, it will likely still help you kill them, if you can manage it. Focus on hitting their legs, and try to time your attacks so that the Enderman is continually knocked back, so that it will not be able to hit you. This will usually kill them fairly quickly.

You can perform preemptive strikes against Endermen by keeping your crosshair over them, which will cause them to stay still for several seconds, or until the Enderman is hit, whichever comes first. A player can also get in the first hit by looking only at the Enderman's legs until they attack - though once hit, the Enderman will become aggressive as normal.

A height advantage of at least one block or more will also help keep the Enderman at bay as you hit it.

Endermen that wander into fire or lava will not teleport away, nor will they become aggressive to the player. This can be used to weaken or kill them, though the second will require that they be set on fire twice (likely by placing fire with a flint and steel) due to their high hit points.

Arrows, snowballs, and eggs will usually not hit them due to the fact that they usually teleport away before impact. However, shooting an Enderman with a bow carrying the "Flame" enchantment will still light it on fire, even though it will take no direct damage from the arrow. This can be an effective method of holding off and killing Endermen from range.
Because they do not get hurt, projectiles will not cause Endermen to become hostile. If a projectile does manage to somehow damage an Enderman, such as an accidental arrow hit from a skeleton while they are attacking the player, they will become hostile to the source of the damage.

Fishing lures will hit an Enderman and "snag" them on the end of the line. However, as the Enderman teleports away when the lure hits them (Possibly behind a wall or into caves) this is only sometimes useful as a tool for killing them. If you manage to pull it forward it will travel a remarkable distance.

Hostile Endermen will teleport away after a player hits them, though they may attack first. Similarly, Endermen may teleport away several seconds after attacking. When this happens in a small underground space, the Enderman may teleport into inaccessible caves or to the surface and may or may not teleport back. The Endermen may also teleport behind the player so caution is recommended. Endermen teleportation can be tracked by looking for the glowing teleportation trail they leave behind.

Because of the Endermen's extra height, you can make a roof 2 blocks high (and at least 2 deep) that allows you to walk through, but stops Endermen from walking through due to their height. However, other mobs will have easy access to you so make sure you have your back covered. Obviously they can still hit you if they're right next to you, so make it deep enough that they can't reach you. (For example, a 3×3 roof in an open area, as you can always retreat to the middle or far side.)

Another effective way of killing an Enderman is to make a 4-block high pillar underneath yourself, then look at an Enderman. The Enderman will run toward you and come into melee range. You will be in range to attack them, but they will not be in range to attack you. Make sure there are no skeletons nearby (within 16 blocks), as they will shoot you off your pillar and make you a vulnerable target.

A very simple way to kill an Enderman is to attack their legs, as they do not teleport when their legs are attacked.

A quick, effective way to kill an Enderman is to quickly run towards one with or without a weapon (and without looking at its head), attack its legs once, and have four or more tamed wolves to finish it off.

A quick and easy way to kill Endermen is to push them off the edge of a cliff. However, this is only useful for when you are near a long drop or on a map like skyblock. This tactic has the added bonus of not aggravating them.

One way to get Ender Pearls without the Enderman becoming hostile toward you is to quickly trap the Enderman on a single square and drop gravel or sand on its head, crushing it.

Endermen also cannot teleport when riding a minecart, even hitting them with an arrow will not cause the Enderman to teleport away (Though they will flash red and disappear for a second, as if trying to teleport unsuccessfully.) This is one potential way to kill them at a distance.[4]

Endermen cannot teleport while falling. Thus an effective way to kill them quickly is to draw them to the edge of a slope and attack them while facing the slope. The attack will knock them backwards, and followup attacks can be performed before the Enderman can teleport away.

Sound is also important to pay attention to, an attentive player with an appropriate sound system can hear where the Enderman teleported to, preventing sneak attacks from behind.

Iron golems will attack Endermen, and will kill one in two hits. Endermen will hit the iron golem once before the iron golem kills it.

History

b
?At first, when Notch was still designing the Endermen, he thought they were not 'creepy' enough, coming with the idea that having a situation which the player would want to avoid could make the Enderman significantly more scary. This gave Notch the idea to implement the staring feature, where aiming the crosshair at the Enderman's face would cause a suspenseful moment in which breaking eye contact would trigger an attack, as well as the Enderman having the ability to teleport so that when the player has stared at the Enderman, he or she would have to face a consequence for that action.[5]
According to Burnie Burns of Rooster Teeth Productions, the Endermen's weakness to water was suggested by Burnie's son when Notch mentioned that he needed to come up with a way to kill a group of Endermen.[6]
?In the Beta 1.8 demo at PAX, Endermen dropped diamonds as a placeholder for Ender Pearls.

A '''lava bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[lava]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Interacting ===
To fill an empty [[bucket]] with lava, {{control|use}} it on a [[lava]] source block or lava in a [[cauldron]]. The block is consumed in the process. Flowing lava does not fill a bucket.

If there is a lava source above the [[pointed dripstone]] stalactite, there is a {{frac|15|256}} (~5.9%) chance for it to completely fill an empty cauldron within 10 blocks under the tip with lava after a [[random tick]]. This lava can then be scooped with a bucket, making it a renewable resource.

==Usage==
A lava bucket can be used to place down lava sources with the {{key|Use Item}} button. Doing so gives the player the bucket back. Lava buckets can be used to replace some transparent, non-full blocks such as [[tall grass]] and [[water]], both flowing and sources.

{{IN|java}}, lava buckets can be used to break [[Nether Portal (block)|Nether portal blocks]] by placing the lava on the side of a block next to the portal block.

=== Smelting ===
A lava bucket can be used as an efficient [[fuel]]. It has the longest burning value of 1000 seconds, compared to 800 seconds for a [[coal block]] (a lava bucket smelts 100 items, and a coal block smelts 80). After smelting starts, the lava bucket turns into an empty bucket.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers buy a lava bucket for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{IN|java}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy a lava bucket for one emerald.

=== Cauldrons === 
A lava bucket can be used to fill a [[cauldron]] with lava. The lava damages any entity standing inside the cauldron, unless the entity is immune to fire damage.<!-- ex: nether mobs--> Flowing water or waterlogging does not affect the lava in the cauldron.

A '''chalkboard''' is a [[block]] that can display more text than a [[sign]].<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-slates-posters-boards/</ref> Three sizes are available: 1×1 (slate), 2×1 (poster), and 3×2 (board).

== Obtaining ==
In ''[[Education Edition]]'', chalkboards can be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]] or through the {{cmd|give}} command.
In ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'', chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors.

== Usage ==
A chalkboard can be used similarly to a [[sign]], to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen.

=== Placement ===
Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like [[fence]]s, [[glass]], [[rail]]s, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{control|use}} a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the chalkboard.

1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards.

=== Text ===
When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor.

While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line.

After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered.

=== Interaction ===
Chalkboards act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so {{control|sneaking}} is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them.

Unlike signs, boards block a [[piston]] from moving.

Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around boards. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn.

An '''eye of ender''' is a craftable item used to locate [[stronghold]]s and activate the [[end portal]]s within them.

== Usage ==
=== Locating strongholds ===
[[File:Eye of Ender (break).gif|thumb|right|An animation of an eye of ender shattering.]]

To locate [[stronghold]]s (and the [[end portal]]s they house):
* Pressing {{control|use}} while holding an eye of ender causes it to fly approximately 12 blocks in the direction of the nearest stronghold, traveling through any blocks necessary, and leave a trail of purple particles, the same particle effect used for [[endermen]] and [[ender chests]]. 
** The eye leads to the [[chunk]] where a spiral staircase, the first room generated in the stronghold, is located.
** The center of this entrance staircase is always exactly at the chunk coordinates 4, ~, 4, although the eye of ender leads to chunk coordinates 0, ~, 0 (the northwest corner of the chunk).
* While over 12 blocks away from the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel upward to offer an easily-visible indication of the horizontal direction the player must travel.
* When closer than 12 blocks to the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel downward, to indicate the player is above a stronghold and must mine downward.
* After two or three seconds of travel, the eye floats in the air briefly, then either falls (becoming collectable again) or shatters in mid-air. The eye has a 20% chance of shattering (80% chance of surviving) per throw, therefore throwing it three times has approximately 50% overall chance to shatter the eye (0.8<sup>3</sup>=51.2%).
* The eye of ender's flying function works only in the [[Overworld]]. It does nothing in [[the Nether]], [[the End]], [[custom dimension]]s{{verify|type=current}}, or in worlds with no strongholds.

Note that the eyes may point to an incorrect location if the target chunks were generated with a different biomes map in an older version or through different generation settings.<ref>See also {{bug|MC-135996}}</ref>

=== Activating end portals ===
[[File:Active End Portal.png|thumb|right|An end portal activated with eyes of ender.]]
Once an end portal is found, the eyes of ender are required to activate it. End portals require a total of 12 eyes of ender in order to activate, though each individual frame-block has a 10% chance of containing an eye of ender when generated. Eyes can be placed in empty [[End portal frame]]s by pressing {{control|use}} on them until the entire ring of 12 is filled, thereby activating the portal. Due to the fact that there is a 10% chance of each individual end portal frame having an eye in it, there is a one out of one trillion chance of every frame having an eye in it thereby activating the portal even if the player doesn't have any eyes of ender.

{{History|||snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4|Each eye can now be placed in a [[end portal frame|portal block]] or used to hone in on a [[stronghold]].

|In older worlds with chunks generated before [[Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3]], the eyes may mislead the [[player]] to a place where there isn't a [[stronghold]] at all. This happens because the eyes lead to where a stronghold should be based on the world seed in the current version, but before Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 strongholds generated differently based on the seed. Therefore, if the player saved the coordinates the eye traveled to in an old world and generated a new world with the same seed, the player could travel to those same coordinates and find a stronghold.}}

==Issues==
{{issue list}}

==Trivia ==
*When thrown in third-person view, the eyes of ender fly out from the player's feet instead of their hand.
*Before [[Java Edition 1.9]], eyes of ender can be purchased from cleric villagers, which means players can find a [[stronghold]] and go to [[the End]] without accessing [[the Nether]] at all.
*{{IN|bedrock}} if the player travels beyond a certain radius (roughly 740,000 blocks), eyes of ender always point to a stronghold near spawn, even though strongholds continue to generate past this limit. If one travels to this limit, they can see eyes of ender suddenly switching direction. A similar phenomenon occurs with the {{cmd|locate}} command.

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting
|head=1
|showdescription=1
|Name Tag
|Name, 16; Tag, 16
|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.

The Enderman was officially introduced in Beta 1.8, "part one" of the Adventure Update.[7][8]
In Beta 1.8pre1&2, Endermen originally had green eyes and emitted black smoke. The release of Beta 1.8 changed the eyes to purple and black smoke has been replaced with purple particles similar to the particles emitted from Nether portals.
The blocks Endermen can pick up are now limited. In Beta 1.8 pre-releases, Endermen were able to pick up any block, including Bedrock.

'''Chains''' are metallic decoration [[block]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===

Chains can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{breaking row|Chain|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
Chains generate in [[bastion remnant]]s and sometimes in [[ruined portal]]s that generate in the Nether. They always generate above [[magma cube]] spawners, also found in [[bastion]]s.

Chains can also generate in [[mineshafts]]. They generate on the sides of a wooden bridge (a mid-air corridor) when the distance between the bridge and the highest solid block below it is higher than the distance to the lowest solid block above it. Chains here generate vertically in a pillar between the bridge and the ceiling. The lowest block of the pillar, connecting the chain to the bridge, is always an [[oak fence]].

=== Crafting ===

|B2=Iron Ingot
|B3=Iron Nugget
|Output=Chain
|type=Building block
}}

== Usage ==
Chains can be used to suspend [[bell]]s, [[hanging sign]]s, or both types of [[lantern]]s (normal lanterns and soul lanterns), as the chain texture connects to the chain of the lantern seamlessly as if it were part of it, and it connects the hanging sign chains together. Chains do not require a supporting block to be placed whether it is on the top, next to it or at the bottom. It can exist completely free-standing in mid air<ref>{{bug|MC-178791}}</ref> and it can be rotated. Chains connect horizontally or vertically, but not across different orientations (so a chain with N orientation does not connect to a chain with E orientation in the adjacent block).
Horizontal chains one block above a surface may be walked over. Horizontal chains two blocks above a surface prevent players from traveling past them. Vertical chains block travel if targeted directly, but may be skirted.

Precision is required, but chains can be walked on, allowing for inconspicuous, although somewhat costly, bridges.

Chains can be pushed by [[piston]]s without being broken.

A '''copper horn''' was an [[item]] crafted from a [[goat horn]] and [[copper ingots]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
 |ignoreusage=1
 |A2=Copper Ingot
 |B2=Goat Horn
 |B3=Copper Ingot
 |C2=Copper Ingot
 |Output=Copper Horn
}}

=== Natural generation ===
Copper horns were found in pillager outpost chests.

== Usage ==
Copper horns were used to play sounds. They took one second to use and had a four second cooldown. There were ten variations of copper horns, and each of them played three different sounds: when looking up, crouching, or neither of those. In total, there were thirty different sounds that could be played using copper horns. The sound a copper horn plays based on multiple conditions, which are in order as follows:
* If crouching, the bass tune was played.
* Else, if looking up (by 45 degrees), the harmony tune was played.
* Else, the melody tune was played.

== Sounds ==
Sound names in the item tooltip are created using the harmony, melody, and bass sounds in that order.

=== Harmony ===

'''Gold nuggets''' are items used to make [[gold ingot]]s and other various golden items. One gold nugget is effectively worth one-ninth of a gold ingot.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

[[Zombified Piglin|Zombified piglin]]s, when killed, may drop 0-1 gold nuggets. When killed using a weapon enchanted with [[Looting]], they may drop an additional gold nugget per level of Looting used, up to a maximum of 4.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|gold-nugget}}

=== Mining ===

[[Nether gold ore]] mined using a [[pickaxe]] drops 2-6 gold nuggets. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it has a 33.3% chance to multiply the drops by 2, Fortune II has a 25% chance to multiply the drops by 2 or 3 and Fortune III has a 20% chance each to multiply the drops by 2, 3, or 4 for a maximum possible drop of 24 golden nuggets. The average drop rate for a Fortune III pickaxe is 8.8, while the drop rate for a [[Silk Touch]] pickaxe is a single ingot, or a flat rate of 9. It is slightly more efficient to mine with a Silk Touch pickaxe. 

[[Gilded Blackstone|Gilded blackstone]] mined using a pickaxe has a 10% chance to drop 2-5 gold nuggets. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune I, the chance gold nuggets drop is increased 14.29%, Fortune II increases the drop chance to 25%, and Fortune III guarantees the drop.

== Usage ==

Gold nuggets can be used to craft a [[golden carrot]] or [[glistering melon]] for brewing. Also, gold nuggets can be combined with gunpowder and dye to create a [[firework star]] that bursts in a star-shaped explosion. 

[[Piglin]]s instantly pick up any gold nuggets that are within 1 [[block]] of them. Unlike other gold-related items, they do not intentionally seek out gold nuggets to pick up and only pick them up if they walk near it. Unlike gold ingots, gold nuggets picked up are dropped upon the piglin's death.

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.

|C2=Redstone Torch
|A3=Stone
|B3=Stone
|C3=Stone
|Output= Redstone Comparator
|type=Redstone
}}

== 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.

Notch stated "Endermen suck because they're annoying, and because I nerfed them and made them too easy. I shall fix this."[9] Because of this, Endermen were modified in this update to have 40 hp (instead of 20), requiring 6 hits (5 with all critical hits) from a diamond sword to kill, or 40 punches with just a fist. Combined with their teleportation aspect, Endermen are significantly more challenging.

A '''shield''' is a tool used for protecting the [[player]] against attacks.

|description= The durability of the two shields is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. The repaired shield has no pattern.
|type= Combat
}}

Shields may also be repaired on an [[anvil]] by using [[planks]] or another shield. Shields repaired on anvils retain their pattern.

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level armorer [[villager]]s have {{frac|1|3}}{{only|Bedrock|short=1}}/{{frac|2|5}}{{only|Java|short=1}} chance of selling a shield for 5 [[emerald]]s as their sixth trade.

== Usage ==
Despite using iron in its crafting recipe, it cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

=== Defense ===
Shields are used for [[blocking]] incoming attacks. {{control|Using}}{{Only|Java|short=1}} or {{Control|sneaking}}{{Only|Bedrock|short=1}} causes a player to slow to a [[sneaking]] pace, and after {{convert|5|ticks|seconds}}<ref>{{bug|MC-100949||Shield blocking is delayed}}</ref>, attacks coming from in front of the player are blocked, dealing no damage. When the shield blocks an attack of {{hp|3}} or stronger, it takes durability damage equal to the strength of the attack rounded up.  

Most blocked projectiles that carry status effects (such as [[Shulker#Shulker bullet|shulker bullets]]{{only|java|short=1}}, flaming [[arrow]]s, or tipped arrows) do not affect the blocker. [[Trident]]s & arrows can be deflected into other targets. Knockback from melee attacks and projectiles is prevented, while knockback from [[explosion]]s, [[hoglin]], and [[ravager]] attacks are significantly reduced.

The shield directionally blocks all attacks coming from within the FOV of the direction the wielder is facing, providing a full hemisphere of coverage to them. If the wielder faces straight up, they are likely to miss their blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-109101||Shields do not block damage while the player faces straight up}}</ref><!--straight down fix: MC-92019-->

Mobs that deal continuous contact damage such as the slime, magma cube, and blaze rapidly drain the shield's durability for as long as the shielded player remains within the mob's hitbox.<ref>{{bug|MC-169167}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-119451}}</ref>

Blockable attacks include:
*Melee attacks, except by a warden, axe-wielding mobs or by a sprinting player wielding an axe, however even without sprinting an axe still greatly decreases the durability 
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Normal, tipped, and spectral [[arrow]]s
** Arrows other than [[Piercing]] are totally deflected and can hit other targets.
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
***This can be used to damage the attacker or another mob down there.
*[[Flame|Flaming arrows]]
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*[[Trident]]s
*[[Snowball]]s and [[egg]]s
*Spines from [[pufferfish]]
*Bullets from [[shulker]]s
** The levitation effect does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Spit from [[llama]]s
*[[Fireball]]s, such as from [[blaze]]s and [[fire charge]]s
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker.
*Direct hits from [[ghast]] [[fireball]]s
** These still cause environmental damage.
*All explosions{{only|JE|short=1}}
*Explosion damage from [[creeper]]s
*[[TNT]] that another player lit
*[[Ravager]] headbutts
** These still knock the blocker back by about 3 blocks.
** Blocking these strikes can stun the ravager for a moment, and it roars afterward.
*Ravager roars are blocked but still knock back the blocker.
*[[Bee]] stings are blocked, but bees continuously attack until the player stops blocking and the player is stung.
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s (only reduces damage by 50%)

They cannot block:
*Arrows from a [[crossbow]] enchanted with [[Piercing]]
** This does not reduce the shield's durability.
*[[Status effect]]s from tipped arrows or shulker bullets {{only|bedrock|short=1}} <ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>
** Direct projectile damage is blocked, but the effect still carries through.
*Status effects from splash/lingering [[potion]]s, [[evoker]]s' fangs, or breath from the [[ender dragon]]
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s, or the [[warden]]'s sonic boom attack
*TNT that the blocking player lit themselves{{only|BE|short=1}}
*TNT that a [[Redstone (disambiguation)|redstone mechanism]] lit{{only|BE|short=1}}
*[[Fall damage]], including that from [[ender pearl]]s
** This also includes when the player rides an [[entity]] that died due to fall damage.
*Strikes from a warden or any [[axe]]-wielding mob (e.g., [[vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, [[zombie]]s after disabling players shield they attack another time immediately)
** Such strikes disable being able to use shields for 5 seconds.

=== Applying patterns ===
[[File:Cyan Shield Screenshot.png|250px|thumb|A custom shield.]]
Shields can be decorated by applying a [[banner]].

{{Crafting
|showdescription=1
|Shield
|Matching Banner
|Output=Matching Shield; Ominous Shield
|B2link=Banner
|Olink=Shield
|type=Combat
|description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no preexisting patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield.
}}

Unlike with [[banner]]s, shields cannot be repainted or washed in a [[cauldron]]. Shields have only half the resolution of banners, making patterns look slightly different. In the game files, the pattern textures can be found in a separate directory called entity/shield.

{{IN|java}}, shields with patterns can also be obtained using the same commands as banners, except <code>banner</code> has to be replaced with <code>shield</code>.

=== Enchantments ===
A shield can receive the following [[enchantments]], but only through an [[anvil]]:

The Endermen now have a realm of their own: the End, where they spawn frequently.
Endermen used to burn in sunlight, but as of this update, Endermen won't burn in daylight. They will instead teleport away when the player walks up to them in the daytime, making it extremely hard to get close enough to kill them.

{{Item

}}

A '''beetroot''' is a food and [[dye]] ingredient.

== Obtaining ==

=== Farming ===
Beetroots are obtained from harvesting a fully grown [[beetroots|crop block]], which drops 1 beetroot and 1-4 seeds ({{frac|2|5|7}} seeds per plant harvested on average). Seed yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} seeds per plant.

These crops can be found growing in [[village]]s or can be grown from planted [[beetroot seeds]].<!-- Do not add locations for finding seeds. Where to find seeds is described in the article about the seeds. -->

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
A beetroot can be eaten to restore {{hunger|1}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. Six beetroots can be crafted into [[beetroot soup]], which restores six times the hunger and saturation of a single beetroot.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Breeding ===
Beetroots can be used to [[breeding|breed]] [[pig]]s. Pigs also follow a player who is holding beetroot.

[[Villager]]s can pick up beetroot items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers need 12 beetroots before they can breed.

=== Composting ===
Placing beetroot into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level Farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 15 beetroots for an emerald.

A '''book and quill''' is an [[item]] used to write [[written book]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

|Output= Book and Quill
|type= Miscellaneous
}}

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|book-and-quill}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Writing ===

By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.

Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]). 

The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.

In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].

=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}

Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text. 
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.

=== Signing ===

Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].

Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.

The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a book and quill in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* The in-game restrictions on books are not hard limits. Third party editors or commands can make books have more than 100 pages{{only|java}} (2,147,483,639 pages), more than 256 characters per page (32,767 characters per page), can change author names, and can have colored titles, among other things. These books still function properly in vanilla ''Minecraft'', meaning the [[player]] may encounter such books on adventure maps or multiplayer servers.<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1189266-hacking-books</ref>
* If the player renames a book and quill in an anvil before signing it, it retains the name from the anvil instead of taking the name from signing.{{only|java}}

Before the Sound Update, Endermen used the sound effects of Zombies as a place holder. On November 13th, 2011 Endermen received their own audio scheme, most notably a long moan overlaid with static for when they are triggered hostile by the player. The noises are actually a person saying 'Hi' and 'What's Up' backwards and distorted. [10][11]

'''minecraft:dupe_hack''' is a joke item from [[Java Edition 23w13a_or_b]].

==Obtaining==

Once the <code>dupe_hack_occurrence_chance</code> vote is approved the '''dupe hack''' item has a random chance of dropping whenever an entity with chests is killed by a player, e.g. when destroying a [[Minecart with Chest|minecart with chest]] with a [[sword]].

It doesn't appear in the [[creative]] menu, not even when the [[Options#Controls|option]] "Operator Items Tab" is enabled, but can be given to the player with [[Commands/give|<code>/give</code>]] and other commands.

==Usage==
The dupe hack item can be used to create a limited amount of duplicate items by placing it on a [[crafting table]] with any other item. It has a random chance of breaking, controlled by the <code>dupe_hack_break_chance</code> vote. This limitation can be mostly bypassed by putting the items in an [[Ender Chest|ender chest]] first and duplicating the chest.

The Enderman's sound were changed, now if you look at them (or they open the jaw), a static sound will play, until he dies or becomes neutral again.

Bugs

  • They seem to have limited ability teleporting vertically.
  • Endermen don't take rain damage on half slabs, Soul Sand, or stairs.
  • When using a custom texture pack, Endermen will be bright white overlapping their texture. This is caused by the blank spaces of their enderman_eyes.png file. If you create a custom texture pack you must make sure that you only change the 6 pixels actually used by their eyes. An alternative would be to use the original png from the minecraft.jar in your pack. Using the most recent release of MCPatcher also fixes this bug. This can also be avoided by making the enderman_eyes.png translucent, even only slight translucency will fix this.
  • If a hostile Enderman is attacked by another mob and kills the attacker, it resets to being neutral towards the player.
  • If an Enderman picks up a flaming block and then places it again, the block will be extinguished, but the Enderman will be on fire.
  • If you quit a game while being attacked by a hostile Enderman, and re-join the game, the Enderman will return to being neutral.
  • If caught with a fishing rod while neutral, an Enderman will remain neutral even after being pulled in, though the fact that they teleport away when hit with the fishing lure makes this of limited potential use.
  • When an Enderman picks up TNT, the TNT block's texture is reflected (TИT). (Note that this happens in SMP when other players hold TNT.)
  • If you fire an arrow at an Enderman who is in a mine cart, it will teleport away and reappear in the same mine cart. Also, at times it will turn red as if it had taken damage, but it will not die from arrow shots.[12]
  • If you look through the mouth of an enderman you can see underground structures, making them a good tool for finding structures such as abandoned mineshafts and caves.
  • When you shoot an Enderman with a bow enchanted with flame, the Enderman teleports, but it is on fire so it is an easy way to kill them from long range.
  • In SMP, when you look at the eyes/head of the Enderman, it won't turn hostile, if you look at its upper legs/body it will become hostile.
  • When an enderman is stuck in water, taking damage, and cannot teleport away, shooting at it with an arrow will make the enderman deflect it, instead of taking damage.
  • In SMP, Endermen seem to float for a while when drawn in upwards with a fishing rod.
  • When an Enderman places down a cactus or flower, it is not checked if it is being put on an appropriate block, possibly resulting in plants on unusual blocks.
  • In SSP, if you use a mod or creative mode to fly, you can look through the Enderman's mouth. If you look at water through its mouth, you will see air in its place.
  • If an Enderman is standing on a cobweb, they will not take damage from rain or teleport away.
  • If a hostile Enderman teleports into direct sunlight, it will forget about you.
  • In 1.3.1 and up, if you punch an Enderman in creative (they will get aggressive from staring in survival) from around 5-6 blocks away, it will turn into its hostile state, but will not chase you. It become neutral when it holds a block.
  • In creative, if an enderman gets stuck in a hole 3 blocks deep, and is aggressive, it will not be able to teleport to get out.
  • In 1.4 when you provoke an enderman and it snarls, when you pause the game you will still hear the snarling noise until it ends
  • If the player traps an enderman in an area made of blocks it cannot pick up, from time to time it will pick up a dirt or grass block.

Trivia

  • If an Enderman is in his aggressive state, you can prevent him from walking/going anywhere if you stare at him (you can freeze the endermen as long as your cursor remains on him). However, if attacked in this state, the endermen may teleport away.
  • The Enderman stare animation will still play while the game is paused or when attaching a sign.
  • The Enderman seems to use a re-colored version of the player's face texture, much like blazes, zombies, and skeletons.
  • The exact size of an Enderman is 0.6x0.6x2.9 blocks(1.9x1.9x9.5 feet).
  • Notch claimed in public that the Endermen is a "(subtle)" reference to "the Slenderman, a similar looking cryptid with a similar name. Given the later development of the End, it is possible he already had the name in mind, and did not choose it because of the Reddit thread in which their name was revealed.[8]
  • Endermen sound seems to stem from reverse audios
    • the `idle1` sound is a reversed “here”
    • the `idle2` sound resembles a reversed “higher” (“hy-a”)
    • the `idle3` sound is a down-pitched “whats up?” or "this way!"
    • the`idle4` sound is a down-pitched reversed "forever!"
    • the `idle5` sound is a reversed "uh oh!"(oh no")
  • In their texture, their jaw is separated from their skull.[13] This makes the Enderman the first mob with the ability to physically open their mouths without simply switching to a different texture. Due to the player's perspective, however, the player sees the back of the Enderman's head when it opens its mouth, making it difficult to tell that it is open. If a player is one block higher, they see through the Enderman's open mouth. They open their mouths by moving their skulls higher than their jaw.
  • If an Enderman is hit by a flaming arrow, it will be set on fire, but will not take damage from the arrow itself, nor will it become hostile.
  • An effective, though difficult to achieve, way to gain lots of experience and enderpearls is to go the End, make a 1x1x4 tower, stand on top of it, look at Endermen and have them teleport to you while you slaughter them. They cannot reach you because the tower is too tall. Another way is to create a 3x3 platform at 3 above the ground (leaving 2 blocks space for you to stand under) Endermen are 3 tall, and will not get under the platform while you can still hit them, but you are not in the risk of falling like with a tower.
  • Even in an aggressive state, they can still pick up blocks, which at times made it seem as though they were tearing through walls to reach the player.
  • In the Xbox 360 Edition you can't throw Ender Pearls
  • Even though water/rain is harmful to them, it will still put out a burning Enderman.
  • If a Mob Spawner is tweaked to spawn Endermen, the model inside will have it's head jutting out the top of the frame.
  • The purple particles the Endermen emit are hard-coded into the game, so they cannot be re-textured without mods.
  • Endermen are able to create snow golems and iron golems if they pick up a pumpkin and set it on already placed snow or iron blocks.
  • After 12w38a Snapshot update, the previously unused stare.ogg and scream.ogg can now be heard without use of any mods. Stare.ogg randomly plays whenever there is an Enderman nearby, and Scream.ogg plays when Enderman is chasing a player.
  • When in third-person front view, if there is an Enderman behind the player, it won't become aggressive if the cursor is placed over it. Turning so that the crosshair would be on the Enderman in first-person will provoke it, despite it not being onscreen.
  • If an Enderman is focusing on another player, a different player can still look at its hostile points without the Enderman attacking the player afterwards. However, if you try shooting an arrow at it, it will ignore the creature it's attacking and focus on the one who shot the arrow.
  • Amusingly, if an Enderman is set on fire, they may try to put it out by teleporting into water, and therefore committing 'suicide', because they take damage from it.
  • When in The End, it is possible to get Endermen to target the Ender Dragon. Shoot the Ender Dragon with an arrow, then, when it comes to attack you, place yourself so there are Endermen between you and the Ender Dragon. When the Ender Dragon makes contact with the Endermen, it will do damage, causing them to target the Ender Dragon. They do not seem to do any damage, however, they can be quite useful, as the Ender Dragon can not pass through Endermen. One can stand behind many Endermen and strike at the Ender Dragon while it is being blocked by the Endermen.
  • Amusingly enough, if an Enderman is caught in rain, he will continuously teleport in random directions. Players can sometimes, during rain, see Endermen teleport in front of them quickly and teleport off the moment they take damage.
  • It is implied that Endermen built the strongholds around End Portals, and came to the overworld from the End.
  • The new static sound that the Endermen use is quite similar to a sound in a popular horror game called Slender, a game based on the Slenderman himself. The trigger for such sounds are pretty similar, as well.
    • The Endermen start to do the sound when look at or when their jaw is open.
    • In Slender, the sound plays when the player is close to the Slenderman.
  • If an enderman dissapeared right before charging the player due to daytime, its noise would continue to play long after the enderman is gone.
  • If an Enderman is trapped in a 4 block tall structure, he cannot teleport.
  • Endermen have an obvious similarity to the Slenderman, due to the fact that they are very tall, can teleport, the static sound made by them is identical to the sound made when you are close to the Slenderman while playing Slender, and are dark in color.
  • Even though an enderman is weak to water, it is easier to kill them with lava due to the fact that they do not teleport out of it (this will burn the ender pearls, however).
