This article is about the block. For the bucket, see Powder Snow Bucket. For other uses, see Snow (disambiguation).
Powder snow is a block found in snowy slopes and grove biomes, or collected from snowfall using cauldrons. Players and most mobs fall through powder snow and take freezing damage within it, but leather boots can be worn to stand on and climb through it as well as gain freezing immunity. Powder snow can only be obtained using a bucket.
Obtaining[]
Natural generation[]
Powder snow naturally generates in groves and snowy slopes in strip formations.
Cauldrons[]
Main article: Tutorials/Powder snow farming
A cauldron in a snowy biome under open sky fills with powder snow when it is snowing. Powder snow can then be picked up from this cauldron with an empty bucket.
Bucket[]
Using a powder snow bucket places powder snow; placed powder snow can be picked up again with an empty bucket. These actions can be automated using a dispenser. When picked up, breaking particles appear.[Java Edition only][1]
Breaking[]
Powder snow does not drop anything when mined, even with Silk Touch, and tools do not speed up mining.[2][3]
| Block | Powder Snow | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | 0.25 | |
| Breaking time (secs) | ||
| Default | 0.4 | |
Powder snow is broken by water or lava, or when shot with a Flame-enchanted bow.
Usage[]
The frosty vignette when a player is within powder snow.
Entities (except rabbits, endermites, silverfish, shulkers, vexes and foxes) fall through powder snow without taking fall damage and move much slower in it, similar to cobwebs. Powder snow does not cause suffocation damage.
Mobs, armor stands or players wearing leather boots do not fall through powder snow. In this case, the snow behaves as scaffolding when the player sneaks or crouches while on the block and jumps while inside of the block. It is impossible to climb out of powder snow without leather boots.
Most walking mobs (except for goats) treat powder snow as normal solid blocks while pathfinding, similar to trapdoors, allowing them to voluntarily walk into it, and fall through it if possible.[4] Goats avoid powder snow, although they are not immune to falling through it and taking freezing damage.
If an entity that is on fire touches powder snow, powder snow cools it down as the powder snow melts.
Being fully inside a block causes a thick fog effect around the point of view. In Java Edition, players in Spectator mode can see through powder snow without any fogging effect.
When powder snow is on top of grass blocks, mycelium or podzol, the blocks below change to a snowy texture, similar to when snow layers are on top;[5] they revert to their default textures when the powder snow is removed. This change can be detected by observers.
Freezing[]
For the Minecraft Dungeons enchantment, see MCD:Freezing.
Freezing hearts when the player is submerged in powder snow.
Freezing hearts when the player is in Hardcore.
When an entity is inside a powder snow block, they begin to freeze, taking damage.
A player submerged in powder snow sees a frosty vignette slowly fade in at the sides of the screen and the FOV slowly decreases. When the vignette is fully shown, the player begins shivering visibly. After seven seconds (140 game ticks), the player's hearts change to a cyan frosty texture (
), and the player begins taking damage at a rate of 1
HP every two seconds (40 game ticks). When an entity dies of freezing damage, a message will appear, saying [entity] froze to death. If the player leaves the powder snow block, the vignette slowly fades away. A frozen player moves slower than usual until the vignette fully fades away. This is controlled by the "TicksFrozen" data tag, which increases by 1 every tick (to a maximum of 140) for an entity within the powder snow block. It decreases at a rate of 2 per tick after the entity leaves the powder snow block. This is currently not a separate effect when used with commands such as /effect give freezing, and does not have its own unique art, particles, or potion.
In Java Edition, players do not take freezing damage if the game rule freezeDamage is set to false.
Wearing any piece of leather armor stops the freezing effect and reverses the damage. This applies to entities that can wear armor, such as players, zombies and horses wearing leather horse armor. If the leather armor is put on while the entity already has the freezing effect, the effect fades away the same as if the entity exited the powder snow.
Snow golems, strays, polar bears, withers, and ender dragons[verify] are immune to freezing damage. Fire-related mobs like striders, magma cubes, and blazes take 5
from freezing.
Skeletons turn into strays instead of taking freezing damage.
Preventing fall damage[]
Similar to water, powdered snow resets the fall distance of players and mobs falling into it, and can be used to prevent fall damage. It is beneficial to water in that it can be used in the Nether.
Piston interactivity[]
Despite not being a solid block, powder snow can be pushed and pulled by pistons like most solid blocks. This makes it the only block that can be placed and retrieved by dispensers, while also pushable by pistons.

}}'''Potions''' are bottled substances designed to inflict [[effects]]. They are created by [[brewing]] and when drunk give the player an [[effect]] for a limited time. All potions are brewed from a '''water bottle''', which is considered a type of potion but has no effects.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
==== Witches ====
[[Witch]]es can drop potions of Healing, Fire Resistance, Swiftness, or Water Breathing if they die while drinking that potion.
==== Wandering traders ====
[[Wandering trader]]s have a chance to drop a Potion of Invisibility if they die while drinking the potion.
=== Fishing ===
[[Water bottle]]s can be [[fishing|fished]] up as junk items.
=== Brewing ===
{{main|Brewing}}
Almost all potions are obtained by [[brewing]].
The Potion of Luck{{only|java|short=1}} and the Potion of Decay{{only|bedrock|short=1}} cannot be brewed. A command to give a Luck Potion is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:potion{Potion:luck} }}, while a Potion of Decay can be obtained via {{cmd|give @s potion 1 36}}. Both are also available in the [[creative inventory]].
=== Chest loot ===
Two Health II potions can be found in the brewing stand on ships in [[end cities]], and one splash potion of Weakness can be found in a brewing stand in [[igloo]] basements.
{{In|Bedrock}}, the cauldron in a [[swamp hut]] contains a random potion.
{{LootChestItem|potion-of-regeneration,potion-of-water-breathing,potion-of-healing}}
=== Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] a potion or a splash potion of Fire Resistance when given a [[gold ingot]].
== Usage ==
Potions are used by pressing and holding {{control|use}} with the potion bottle in hand, as with all consumable items. When drunk they bestow the corresponding [[status effect]] to the player.
Drinking a potion while already under the effects of the same potion does not add onto the effect's duration, but simply resets it. A potion effect does not "downgrade" if a lower level is activated. For example, if a [[player]] has [[Regeneration]] II, drinking a regular potion of Regeneration does not have any effect.
Using a potion on a cauldron does not transfer the potion to the cauldron, but begins to play the drinking animation.{{only|java|short=1}}
=== Modifiers ===
{{main|Brewing}}
Potions can be modified in five ways.
# Brewing [[glowstone dust]] into certain potions will ''enhance'' their level of effect.
# Adding [[redstone]] will ''extend'' the duration of the effect.
# Brewing [[gunpowder]] into a potion makes it into a ''splash'' potion (area effect).
# Adding [[dragon's breath]] to a splash potion creates a [[lingering potion]] (area effect that lingers on the ground).
# Brewing a [[fermented spider eye]] into specific potions modifies their effect, usually inverting it, which is referred to as "corruption".
The modifications of Enhancement and Extension are mutually exclusive.
Enhancing most potions trades some of its duration for a bigger effect. For example, the base Regeneration works for 44 seconds whereas Regeneration II lasts for only 22 seconds but heals more per tick during that time.
Extending a potion generally makes it last {{frac|8|3}} as long as its base potion, so a duration of 3 minutes becomes 8 minutes.
==== Corruption ====
The usual result of corruption is to invert the potion's effect (for example Swiftness becomes Slowness). Interestingly, corrupting Poison (continuous damage effect) creates a Potion of Harming, an instant damage effect, instead of the continuous healing effect (regeneration) one would normally expect. Corrupting a Potion of Night Vision turns it into a Potion of Invisibility rather than an inverse effect that might be something like blindness.
Corrupting an extended or enhanced potion results in a corrupted potion with the same modifier, if it is supported by the corrupted effect. All of the "corrupted" potions except Harming can be extended, but it is the only one that can be enhanced. {{IN|bedrock}}, the corruption of Healing II or Poison II potions results in a potion of Harming I.
=== Base potions ===
Base potions are potions that have no effect when the player drinks them, but are necessary as the basis for other potions.

=== Uncraftable Potion ===
{{IN|java}}, the Uncraftable Potion is a potion with no effect that is unobtainable in regular gameplay.
It is also available in splash potion and lingering potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.
It can be obtained using the following command: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:potion{Potion:"minecraft:empty"} }}. It is also obtained any time a potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.

{{Empty section}}
===Undead mobs===
The effects given by Potions of Healing and Harming are opposite on undead mobs, which includes skeletons and zombies. Potions of Healing cause harm, and Harming heals them. In addition, undead mobs are not affected by Poison or Regeneration.
{{IN|bedrock}}, hitting an undead mob with a Regeneration Potion will always register as Regeneration I, no matter the level of the used potion.
===Mud conversion===
Using a water bottle, splash water bottle, or lingering water bottle on [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], or [[rooted dirt]] will convert it into [[mud]], returning a glass bottle with it. This process can be automated with a [[dispenser]].
===Filling cauldrons with Potions===
{{IN|Bedrock|Legacy Console}} potion bottles may be used on a cauldron to fill it. Using a glass bottle on a cauldron filled with a potion drains it and fills the bottle. Potions cannot be combined in a cauldron, nor can they be mixed with water, but as an added bonus if you use a stack of arrows in a full cauldron you get a stack of tipped arrows. for 1 layer you get 16, 2 layers 32.
==Custom effects==
{{IN|java}}, potions can also be obtained with any status effect using {{cmd|give}} and the tag <code>custom_potion_effects</code>, which is an array of effects for the potion. See [[Item format#Potion Effects]] for more information, and [[status effect]] for a list of effects and IDs.

==Trivia==
*A potion can reach a maximum tier of 127, but using the {{cmd|effect}} [[commands|command]], effect levels can reach 255.
*When a player drinks two potions by quickly switching to another potion immediately after drinking one, the second drinking animation is not shown.{{verify|type=current|Still in recent versions?}}
*A potion of [[Poison]] II lasts for 22.5 seconds, but it is displayed as 22 seconds because the [[item]] hover display shows rounded-down integer values.
*The "Local Brewery" [[advancement]] uses the Uncraftable Potion texture for its icon.
==Unused potions ==
''[[Bedrock Edition]]'' has [[History of textures/Unused textures#Unused potions|unused potion textures]] for several [[effect]]s, along with their [[Splash Potion#Unused splash potions|splash variants]]. These effects are: [[Absorption]], [[Blindness]], [[Haste]], [[Health Boost]], [[Hunger]], [[Mining Fatigue]], [[Nausea]], [[Resistance]], [[Saturation]], and [[Levitation]], as well as the [[Luck]] potion textures also present in [[Java Edition]]. These unused textures were added along with the other potion textures in [[Pocket Edition v0.12.1 alpha]], except for the potion of levitation, which was added in [[Pocket Edition 1.0.0]]. The textures were changed along with the other potion textures during the [[texture update]] in [[Bedrock Edition 1.10.0]]. Strangely, the potion of levitation texture is a duplicate of the splash potion of levitation texture.

'''Nether sprouts''' are a non-solid fungi block that generate in [[warped forest]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Nether sprouts generate in [[warped forest]] biomes.
=== Breaking ===
Nether sprouts can be mined instantly with any item. The block also breaks if the block below is removed, or if [[water]] flows into its space. The block only drops if broken with [[shear]]s.
=== Post-generation ===
Applying [[bone meal]] to warped [[nylium]] creates nether sprouts on that block and surrounding nylium, along with both types of [[roots]] and [[fungi]].
== Usage ==
[[File:RootsSproutsPlaceBlock.png|thumb|All of the blocks that nether sprouts can be placed on.]]
Nether sprouts can be planted on the same blocks that [[fungus|fungi]] and [[roots]] can be placed on: [[nylium]], [[soul soil]], [[Grass Block|grass]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[Moss Block|moss]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], and [[farmland]]. However, they cannot be planted in [[flower pot]]s.
=== Composting ===
Placing nether sprouts into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

'''Bamboo''' is a versatile, fast-growing, [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] [[plant]] found primarily in [[jungle]]s, which is used for [[crafting]] (particularly [[scaffolding]] and [[Block of Bamboo|bamboo wood]]), [[smelting]] and [[breeding]] [[Panda|pandas]].
A '''bamboo shoot''' is the initial non-solid sapling form of planted bamboo.
== Obtaining ==
Bamboo shoots cannot be obtained through vanilla means. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can be obtained through [[add-on]]s or inventory editing. {{IN|java}}, they are completely unobtainable.
=== Breaking ===
Bamboo can be mined with any [[tool]], but a [[sword]] breaks the block [[instant mining|instantly]], even with [[Mining Fatigue]]. Flowing [[water]] also breaks bamboo shoots, but not mature bamboo stalks.
{{breaking row|Bamboo|Sword|sword=1|horizontal=1}}
{{notelist}}
=== Natural generation ===
Bamboo generates in widely scattered single shoots within [[jungle]] [[biome]]s. Bamboo generates much more densely in the [[bamboo jungle|bamboo variant]]s of jungles, covering large areas of the landscape. Bamboo does ''not'' generate in [[sparse jungle]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-156638|||WAI}}</ref>
=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|java}}, a [[panda]] drops 1 bamboo when killed. [[Looting]] does not affect the drop rate.<ref>{{bug|MC-160006}}</ref>
{{IN|bedrock}}, a panda drops 0-2 bamboo when killed. Looting increases the drop by 1 per level.
=== Fishing ===
Bamboo can be found while [[fishing]] in [[jungle]] [[biome]]s as a junk [[item]].
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|bamboo}}
== Usage ==
When broken, any bamboo [[block]] placed or grown above it is also broken. A bamboo block drops itself as an [[item]] if a [[piston]] pushes it or moves a block into its space. When bamboo is first placed as a shoot it's not solid and can be destroyed by water flowing into it. After growing at least one block taller it becomes solid and can't be destroyed by water. To transform a bamboo shoot into a solid bamboo block place another bamboo on top of it.
Unlike most plants, bamboo cannot be [[Composter#Composting|composted]].<ref>{{bug|MC-142452|||WAI}}</ref>
=== Farming ===
Bamboo can be planted on [[moss block]]s{{only|java|short=1}}, [[grass block]]s, [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[gravel]], [[mycelium]], [[podzol]], [[sand]], [[red sand]], [[suspicious sand]], [[suspicious gravel]], [[mud]], bamboo shoot, or on itself. At default random tick speed (3), each plant grows on average every {{convert|4096|ticks|seconds}}. When [[bone meal]] is {{control|used}} on it, it grows by 1–2 [[blocks]]. Bamboo can grow up to 12–16 blocks tall. The top of a bamboo plant requires a [[light]] level of 9 or above to grow.
Because bamboo breaks in almost the same way as [[sugar cane]]s, [[Tutorials/Sugar cane farming|a sugar cane farm]] can be easily adapted to this use. While water is not needed with such a farm, some spacing is recommended if the harvest is done manually as mature stalks are solid.
=== Pandas ===
Bamboo [[item]]s are eaten by [[panda]]s and can be used to speed up the growth of baby pandas. Bamboo can also be used to breed pandas when at least 8 [[block]]s of bamboo are within 5 blocks of the pandas, making the panda the only animal in the game to have extra breeding requirements. At this point, the [[player]] can feed them bamboo and they [[breeding|mate]] to have a baby.
=== Fuel ===
Bamboo can be used as fuel for [[smelting]]. Each bamboo item smelts 0.25 [[item]]s. Crafting two bamboo into a [[stick]] and using that as fuel is equivalent, smelting 0.5 items.
Bamboo can be crafted into other items to increase its fuel efficiency.
* By crafting 9 bamboo into 2 [[bamboo planks]], 3 items can be smelted instead of 2.25, a 33.3% increase in efficiency.
** {{IN|bedrock}}, the fuel efficiency can be further doubled by crafting the bamboo planks into twice the amount of [[slab]]s.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-94368||Wooden slabs last for the same amount of time as planks in a furnace}}</ref>
* {{IN|java}}, by crafting 14 bamboo into 3 [[ladder]]s, 4.5 items can be smelted instead of 3.5, a 28.6% increase in efficiency.
=== Flower pots ===
Bamboo can be placed in a [[flower pot]], where it retains the design it has in its item form.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
== Appearance ==
[[File:Bamboo stages.png|thumb|The different stages of bamboo growth.]]
The appearance of bamboo changes as it grows. When first placed, it takes the form of a small shoot, which has no [[hitbox]]. When it grows one [[block]] taller it grows to 2 pixels in length and width and the top block has leaves coming off it. At 3 blocks, the top 2 blocks have leaves and at 4 blocks the bamboo expands to 3×3 pixels. At 5 blocks tall, the top 3 blocks have leaves on them. As the bamboo grows, the leaves move up and stay at the top 3 blocks. Destroying a block of bamboo does not change the appearance of the blocks below it. Bamboo is oriented at a random position in the block that it is in.

=== Bamboo shoot "item" ===
{{:Technical blocks/Bamboo Shoot}}
== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* Because bamboo grows quickly (on average 1 growth per 200 seconds), just 500 plants in an automatic farm produce more [[item]]s than a [[hopper]] can collect (2.5 items per second). A single hopper can move only enough items to keep 6.25 [[furnace]]s running.
* Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in ''[[Minecraft]]'', which reflects its status as the fastest-growing plant known in real life.
* While bamboo cannot be composted in ''Minecraft'', it can be composted in real life.

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

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

=== Trading ===
A single compass can be sold to a journeyman-level cartographer villager for 1 [[emerald]].{{only|java}}
A single compass can be sold to an expert-level cartographer villager for 1 emerald as their sixth trade.{{only|bedrock}}
A compass is also part of the cost of [[explorer map]]s:
* An ocean explorer map and{{only|java|short=1}}/or{{only|bedrock|short=1}} a woodland explorer map can be bought from a journeyman-level cartographer for 12 emeralds and one compass, as part of their fifth trade.{{only|bedrock}}
* {{IN|java}}, apprentice-level cartographer villagers offer to sell an ocean explorer map for 13 emeralds and a compass, and journeyman-level cartographer villagers offer to sell a woodland explorer map for 14 emeralds and one compass.
=== Enchantments ===
A compass can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

'''Banners''' are tall decorative [[blocks]], featuring a field that is highly customizable using [[dye]]s and [[banner pattern]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Banners can be broken with or without a [[tool]], but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Banners|Axe}}
A banner also breaks and drops itself as an [[Item (entity)|item]] if the block the banner is attached to is moved, removed, or destroyed.

=== Trading ===
Expert-level cartographer [[villager]]s always offer to [[trading|sell]] 1 or 2 blank banners of a random color for 3 [[emeralds]]. Expert-level shepherd villagers have a {{frac|2|7}} chance of offering the same trade.{{only|java}}
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cartographer and shepherd villagers both offer to sell one of 16 blank banners for 3 emeralds as part of their trades.
=== Mob loot ===
[[Illager]]s that spawn carrying an ominous banner{{only|java|short=1}} / illager banner{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}} always drop it upon death.
== Usage ==
[[File:Standing banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping block on a banner.]]
[[File:Wall banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping on a wall mounted banner.]]
There are 16 colored blank banners, and numerous patterns each available in each of the 16 colors. A banner can feature up to 6 different patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing water.
Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground facing in any direction, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location.
Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so [[entities]] can move through them.
Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a banner for floor banners, or the bottom half of wall banners.
When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block, and it is possible to place it so it appears half buried.
Banners can also be placed in [[item frame]]s, where they simply appear as their item model.
[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around banners. {{IN|bedrock}}, banners can be [[waterlogged]].
<gallery>
File:Wall banner with water below.png| Water can be placed below wall banners
File:Water flowing around banner.png| Water flows around a banner on the ground
</gallery>
Lava can create [[fire]] in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods). Banners also cannot be moved by [[piston]]s.
If a banner is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when a pattern is added, but not when a pattern is removed.
=== Helmet ===
{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[Helmet|head slot]] in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|java|short=1}}.
=== Chestplate ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}}.

</gallery>
=== Crafting ingredient ===
[[Shield]]s can have patterns applied to them using banners. The shield pattern has a smaller resolution than the banner pattern, causing them to look different or offset. Banners that have more than six patterns, such as Ominous Banners or banners obtained through inventory editors, will be reduced to six patterns on the shield.

|description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no pre-existing patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield.
}}
=== Copying ===
Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners. Banners with more than 6 patterns applied using commands cannot be copied in this manner.

=== Map marker ===
[[File:Banner marked map.png|alt=All banners marked on a map, alongside a named banner.|thumb|right|How every banner appears {{IN|java}} on a map, including named banners.]]
{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
{{IN|java}}, {{control|using}} on a standing banner with a [[map]] selected places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and {{control|using}} on the banner again removes the marker. Note that wall banners cannot serve as map markers. The marker has the same color as the banner's base without decorations. The marker is removed if the banner is destroyed unless the map is locked using a [[cartography table]]. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker.
=== Patterns ===
{{see also|Banner/Patterns|title1=List of patterned banners}}
[[File:Spawned-in Banner.png|thumb|100px|Example of a banner with more than 6 patterns, a result of using the {{cmd|give}} command.]]
A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. A banner can have up to 16 layers of patterns with the use of commands. The total number of unique banners is approximately 2.3x10^16 (or 23 quadrillion).
Any color banner can be used; the pattern overlays the color. {{IN|java}}, a [[loom]] is used to make patterns. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the patterns can be made in a [[loom]] or a [[crafting table]].
A banner can have more than six layers of patterns through the commands <code>/[[Commands/give|give]]</code>, <code>/[[Commands/setblock|setblock]]</code> or <code>/[[Commands/fill|fill]]</code>. This only works in ''Java Edition'', as Bedrock Edition doesn't have any NBT commands. Here is an example of a mining banner with seven different patterns. There is specific codes for the [[Banner#Item data:~:text=white-,Item,-In Java Edition|colors]] and [[Banner/Patterns|patterns]] that you have to input.
<code><nowiki>/give @p white_banner{display:{Name:"\"Mining Industries Banner\""},BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Pattern:"cr",Color:15},{Pattern:"bs",Color:15},{Pattern:"sc",Color:12},{Pattern:"ms",Color:0},{Pattern:"hh",Color:15},{Pattern:"bo",Color:15},{Pattern:"tts",Color:8}]}} 1</code>
{{LoadPage|Template:Banner pattern loom recipes|Loom recipes|h4}}
{{LoadPage|Banner/Banner pattern crafting recipes|Crafting recipes|h4|transcluded=1}}
=== Renaming ===
{{IN|java}}, a banner can be given a custom name that remains as the banner is placed and retrieved. The player can use an [[anvil]] to rename the banner item, or may change the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command on the banner block.
=== Fuel ===
Banners can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per banner.
=== Note Blocks ===
Banners can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* With 16 blank banners, 38 patterns of 16 colors each (608 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16 × (608<sup>0</sup> + 608<sup>1</sup> + 608<sup>2</sup> + 608<sup>3</sup> + 608<sup>4</sup> + 608<sup>5</sup> + 608<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 809 quadrillion - 809 with 15 zeros (809,573,616,779,945,488). The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns, or the entire banner, or be duplicated due to the symmetric set of patterns (e.g. field or (yellow) + per pale azure (blue) = field azure + per pale or inverted).
** Not 38 patterns are available on BE, but 40 patterns of 16 colors each (640 uniquely-colored patterns), so the number is even greater. 16 × (640<sup>0</sup> + 640<sup>1</sup> + 640<sup>2</sup> + 640<sup>3</sup> + 640<sup>4</sup> + 640<sup>5</sup> + 640<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 1 quintillion - 1 with 18 zeros (1,101,232,303,249,827,856). This increases the number by almost 1.4 times, or almost 292 quadrillion, despite the addition of only 2 patterns.
* If a banner has over 6 patterns, only the six bottom-most patterns are displayed when hovered over in the [[inventory]].
* The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for [[wiktionary:mojäng|mojäng]]. If [[wikipedia:Google Translate|Google Translate]] is used, it translates to "thingys" or "contraption".
** In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called ''mojäng''.
* [[List of block textures#Banner Textures|Banner textures]] are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner.
** There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner.
** The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side.
** Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent.
* Banners that have the purple NBT+ line in the bottom (obtained by holding Ctrl and middle-clicking the banner, which also copies the NBT [[tag]] of anything that the player points their crosshair to) actually have no difference with the base banner obtained by middle click.
*The Illager Banner in Bedrock Edition is available as a separate item but is just a second variant of the white banner.
**Standard variant of white banner is set to type 0.
**Illager variant is set to type 1.

== Appearance ==
This item is semi-transparent with a grey colour scheme.
== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
Footprints were obtained only from a chest in the {{Code|missing}} dimension. Only existing in 2020 April fools snapshot 20w14∞, it cannot exist in any non-April Fool's joke versions and April Fool's joke versions before or after 20w14∞. There is a maximum of 2 footprints that can be obtained legitimately in any given world.

Despite these footprints not being available in the creative inventory, it is still possible to acquire them via the command {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:footprint <amount>}} or duplicating them by holding down middle-click whilst in creative mode.
== Usage ==
As of snapshot 20w14∞, this item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. This item can be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame, and it has a stack limit of 64.

'''String''' is an item used in [[crafting]] recipes such as [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[lead]]s. When placed as a [[block]], string becomes '''tripwire''', which can be combined with [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hooks]] to form a tripwire circuit.
== Obtaining==
String can be obtained from [[drop]]s, breaking [[cobweb]]s, [[fishing]], [[bartering]], and as gifts from [[cat]]s. String can be looted from [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert pyramid]] chests, and [[dungeon]]s.

Tripwire can be {{control|mine|text=mined}} instantly with any [[tool]], dropping string. Tripwire is also removed and drops string as an [[item]] when:
*[[Water]] flows into its space
* A [[piston]] pushes it or moves a [[block]] into its space
Tripwire is destroyed without dropping string if [[lava]] flows into its space.
A [[cobweb]] drops string when it is broken in these ways (see also {{section link|Cobweb|Usage}}):
*Breaking a cobweb with a [[sword]]
*Pushing a cobweb with a [[piston]]
*[[Water]] breaking a cobweb by flowing over it (flowing [[lava]] destroys cobwebs without leaving string)
===Natural generation===
Five pieces of tripwire generate naturally in every [[jungle temple]].
===Mob loot ===
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s drop 0–2 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 string with Looting III.
[[Strider]]s drop 2–5 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 string with Looting III.{{only|Java|short=1}}
[[Cat]]s drop 0–2 string upon death, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-200707||Looting does not increase drops for iron golems and cats}}</ref>
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|string}}
===Fishing===
String has a 0.6% ({{frac|3|500}}) chance of being caught when [[fishing]] with an unenchanted fishing rod. The chance decreases to 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}), 0.4% ({{frac|1|250}}), and 0.3% ({{frac|3|1000}}) if the fishing rod is enchanted with [[Luck of the Sea]] at enchantment levels I, II, and III, respectively.
===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a string.
===Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 3-9 string when given a [[gold ingot]].
== Usage==
String can be used as a crafting ingredient and tripwire can be used as a [[redstone circuit]] component. It can also be used to keep [[player]]s from ender-pearling through that space.
=== Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}
===Redstone component===
{{redirect|Tripwire|tripwire hooks|Tripwire Hook}}
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}
String can be placed as tripwire, which can be used to detect [[entity|entities]] as part of a tripwire circuit. [[Observer]]s can also be used with a tripwire to generate redstone signals.
;Placement
To place tripwire, {{control|use}} string while pointing at a surface facing the space the tripwire should occupy.
{{Schematic | caption =
'''Tripwire Circuit'''
|SB|th-$w|tw-$ew|th-$e|SB
}}
:In order to activate [[tripwire hook]]s, tripwire must be part of a "tripwire circuit": a straight line of [[block]]s consisting of a block with a tripwire hook attached to it, a "tripwire line" (1 to 40 blocks of tripwire), and a second tripwire hook attached to another block.
;Activation
Tripwire activates if almost any [[entity]] ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, [[minecart]]s, [[boat]]s, [[item]]s, [[arrow]]s, etc.) intersects its collision mask. The tripwire remains active until there are no entities intersecting its collision mask. Thrown [[potion]]s, some arrows, thrown [[ender pearl]]s, and thrown [[eyes of ender]] do not activate tripwire.
;Behavior
An active tripwire updates adjacent [[block]]s (for example, it can activate a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD circuit]]). Additionally, active tripwires that are part of valid tripwire circuits cause the attached tripwire hooks to activate (producing [[redstone]] power). Active tripwires do ''not'' themselves produce redstone power.
When tripwire is broken (including by being washed away by spreading [[water]] {{in|java}}) after being part of a valid tripwire circuit, it activates the attached tripwire hooks. {{IN|JE}}, it activates for 5 redstone ticks (10 game [[tick]]s, or 0.5 seconds barring lag). {{IN|BE}}, it activates for 6 redstone ticks (14 game [[tick]]s, or 0.6 seconds barring lag). It does not produce the signal if it is broken using [[shear]]s.
===Trading===
Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 20 string as part of their first-tier trade.
Journeyman-level fletcher villagers buy 14 string for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

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

=== Trading ===
A single compass can be sold to a journeyman-level cartographer villager for 1 [[emerald]].{{only|java}}
A single compass can be sold to an expert-level cartographer villager for 1 emerald as their sixth trade.{{only|bedrock}}
A compass is also part of the cost of [[explorer map]]s:
* An ocean explorer map and{{only|java|short=1}}/or{{only|bedrock|short=1}} a woodland explorer map can be bought from a journeyman-level cartographer for 12 emeralds and one compass, as part of their fifth trade.{{only|bedrock}}
* {{IN|java}}, apprentice-level cartographer villagers offer to sell an ocean explorer map for 13 emeralds and a compass, and journeyman-level cartographer villagers offer to sell a woodland explorer map for 14 emeralds and one compass.
=== Enchantments ===
A compass can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:
