Comparison of stone and water blocks

Liquids are blocks that can, as the name suggests, flow and spread.

Usage

There are currently only two liquids in Minecraft: Lava and water.

How liquids work

File:2011-09-22 09.54.38.png

Lava seeping through one layer of dirt.

Liquids are cellular automata. The rules appear to be as follows:

Falling liquid

An air block below a liquid block is converted into a liquid block of that type. This happens faster for water than for lava (except in the Nether).

Liquids that are suspended above an open area by one block thick of material will seep through the material and drip to the floor. Lava particles that are seeping do not cause damage or start fires. This makes digging upwards safer, since you can tell if you are near a lava/water lake.

Liquid level

Each liquid block has a level value. Source blocks have a level of 0, and the maximum level depends on liquid type.

Note: The "level" value increases as the water is further from the source. A high level value means that the water is actually physically downhill.

Still liquids

To keep track of which blocks are actively flowing, water and lava each have a pair of block IDs. For water, there is water (8) and still water (9). Still water will stay in place until it receives a block update. Water updates periodically and will change itself to still water when it cannot spread any further.

Updating a block next to still water will turn it back to water so it can spread some more.


Liquid block update cases

The state of a liquid block only updates in certain cases:

  • On creation
  • If one of the 6 neighboring blocks' state changes.
  • If its own level changes

State changes that cause an update include:

  • Adding or removing a block
  • A neighboring block's level changes
  • A redstone wire switches on or off

Liquid block update process

When a liquid block updates, it performs the following checks.

  • Check inward flow
If there is a liquid block of the same type above, set level to 1
Otherwise, reduce or increase level in steps of 1 so that it is 1 higher than the one of its 4 neighbouring block with the lowest level*
If level is increased past the max level, replace liquid block with air block.
Level cannot be decreased below 1

* This does not affect source blocks (level = 0)

  • Check outward flow
This only happens for liquid blocks of less than the max level value
Determine the shortest distance to a fall, but only scan 5 blocks distance*
If any of the directions tied for shortest have an air block, convert that air block to a liquid block with a level of 1 more than the current block*

* This means that lava will flow towards a drop that it cannot reach.

Source creation

A water block is converted into a source block if both of the following conditions hold:

  • it is bordered by at least 2 water source blocks on the same horizontal level.
  • the block underneath is a solid block or a water source block.

Lava source blocks cannot be created.

Mixing of liquids

If a liquid flows into a block occupied by another liquid, then the block turns into a solid block according to the following rules:

  • If Water flows into a lava source block, then obsidian is produced.
  • If Lava flows downward into Water, then stone is produced.
  • if Water flows horizontally into downwards flowing lava, nothing happens.
  • Otherwise, cobblestone is produced.

When determining the shortest distance to a drop, other liquid blocks are assumed to be equal to air.

}}'''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.

==== [[Java Edition 23w13a_or_b]]====

{{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.

==Issues==
{{issue list}}

==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.

The '''sword''' is a melee [[weapon]] that is mainly used to deal [[damage]] to [[entity|entities]] or for breaking certain blocks faster than by hand. A sword is made from one of six materials, in order of increasing quality and expense: wood, gold, stone, iron, diamond and netherite.

==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A sword can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down.

=== Mob loot ===
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

Some [[mobs]] can spawn with a sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. [[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s can drop iron swords, [[zombified piglin]]s and [[piglin]]s can drop golden swords, and [[wither skeleton]]s can drop stone swords. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged and may be enchanted. Stone swords dropped by wither skeletons are never enchanted.

A [[vex]] wields an iron sword that normally has a 0% chance of dropping, because their main hand's <code>HandDropChances</code> is 0. However, this chance increases by 1 percentage point per level of Looting. It is never damaged{{only|java}} and may be enchanted.

{{IN|be}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% chance on hard mode) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted.

=== Trading ===
[[File:Weaponsmith Diamond Sword Trade.png|thumb|right|The diamond sword trade of a weaponsmith.]]

{{IN|bedrock}}, an apprentice-level weaponsmith villagers sells enchanted iron swords for at least 7-21 emeralds, and a master-level weaponsmith sells enchanted diamond swords for at least 13-27 emeralds.

{{IN|java}}, a novice-level weaponsmith villager has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted iron sword for at least 7-22 emeralds. A master-level weaponsmith offers to sell an enchanted diamond sword for at least 11–27 emeralds.

The enchantments of the swords offered by villagers are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.

=== Chest loot ===

== Usage ==
=== Attacking ===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's [[Item Durability|durability]] decreases by 1.

Attacking a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]] with a sword stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{only|java}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.

==== Sweeping ====
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}
If the attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above and the player is on the ground standing or moving slower than the [[sprinting]] speed in a straight line, the sword performs a sweeping attack indicated by a gale [[particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back; the amount of knockback is 80% that of the basal knockback and does not benefit from the [[knockback]] enchantment. As result, the player can perform a sweep attack while they are sprinting diagonally but it is impossible to perform a sweep attack at the same time as a critical hit or while riding some [[entity]]. All enemies within an 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected. The [[sweeping edge]] enchantment increases the damage dealt by 50% of the normal hit damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III.

=== Damage ===
{{Main|Damage}}

==== Java Edition ====
Swords have an attack speed of 1.6 and take 0.625 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

The most amount of damage that a sword enchanted with [[Sharpness]] V can do is 11 {{in|java}} and 15.25 {{in|bedrock}}, without critical hits.

=== Sword breaking times ===
{{main|Breaking}}

A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref>

If a sword is enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], either using [[Creative]] or [[commands]], cobwebs the sword destroys will drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.

The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:
* White: an original block.
* Blue: block's normal drop (e.g. seeds, sapling, apple).
* Red: nothing.

==== Safety around constructions ====
In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, care must still be taken around [[minecart]]s, [[painting]]s, [[item frame]]s,{{only|java}} and [[armor stand]]s; these are entities, thus can be broken with swords in Creative.<ref>{{bug|MC-27140}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-18463}}</ref>

=== Enchantments ===
Swords can receive, gathered from mob drops/villager trades or be found in various loot chests (example: End City, Bastion Remnant)with the following [[enchantment]]s:

{{main|Blocking}}
[[File:Parrying.png|thumb|right|The blocking animation using a sword before and after [[Java Edition 14w30a]] (from the [[Adventure Update|Adventure]] to the [[Bountiful Update|Bountiful]] updates).]]
 
Previously, since the [[Adventure Update]], all types of swords could be used to parry to block some forms of damage. If the player is blocking with a sword when attacked, the sword deflects 50% of incoming damage from melee, non-magical projectiles like arrows, and explosions, along with minimizing airborne knockback. The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking. The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] if blocking with a sword. Sword blocks could be engaged and disengaged instantly, with no delay between the input and damage mitigation nor cooldown between lowering a block and raising a new one.
 
After the [[Combat Update]], the sword blocking functionality was replaced by blocking with [[shield]]s and to accommodate the [[dual wield]] system. Shields negate more damage and knockback than sword blocking from "blockable" attacks (they block 100% damage and knockback after [[Java Edition 1.11]]), but, unlike swords, they lose durability, have a 0.25 second startup period before damage can be mitigated and can be temporarily disabled by attacks with an [[axe]].

=== Knockback ===
The knockback dealt by swords used to be higher than while the players are using another melee [[item]]s, like an axe or with the hands. This feature was removed in [[Java Edition 1.9]] and is also no longer used in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
*The sword's traditional [[texture]] came from [[Notch]]'s abandoned RPG, ''[[Legend of the Chambered]]''. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords followed.
*In ''Java Edition'', with the introduction of netherite swords, it is possible to one-hit kill undead [[mob]]s in the game (except [[wither]]s and [[zombie]]s/[[skeleton]]s with random armor) using a sword with the [[Smite]] V enchantment, without the need to perform a critical hit (this was previously possible only with a [[Smite]] V stone, iron, or diamond axe).
*Plastic diamond and enchanted swords are official ''[[Minecraft]]'' merchandise.<ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-sword?_pos=1&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref><ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-enchanted-purple-sword?_pos=4&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref>
*In the game [[wikipedia:Transformice|''Transformice'']], a diamond sword can be found in the shop.
