Ghasts are very large, jellyfish or ghost-like mobs that float through the air and shoot fireballs from their mouths. Their bodies are 4 blocks tall and 4 blocks wide with 9 tentacle-like limbs hanging from the bottom. They first appeared in the Halloween Update. Ghasts are able to spawn above any non-transparent block in the Nether, as long as there is sufficient space (at least a 4*4*4 space, with the base centered above a solid block) and the game is not in Peaceful mode.

Behavior

Ghasts normally float around the Nether with their eyes and mouth closed and periodically make high-pitched, cat- or infant-like sounds. They open their red eyes and mouth when attacking. They make a chirp-like noise when shooting and scream pitifully when taking damage. The sounds that Ghasts make have a minimum intensity regardless of their distance, so they often sound closer when they are actually far away. As of Beta 1.8.1, the Ghast will let out a death rattle upon being killed - similar to the death cries that Zombies and Spiders use when killed. Fireballs do not home in on the player, and can be deflected if the player hits them with an arrow or melee attack.

Unlike most other aggressive mobs, the Ghast does not have a pursuit mode - it does not attempt to draw closer to the player when at long range (and likewise is not particularly likely to float away). Compared to other mobs, the Ghast has a very long search range and can target a player up to 100 blocks away.[1] When the player comes within about sixteen blocks, the Ghast will open fire and attempt to gain altitude.

Ghasts will not fire at the player without a line-of-sight - this can be blocked by glass, glass panes, leaves, Nether portals, vines, iron bars, both types of fences, and cobwebs - making safe scenic paths through the Nether a viable possibility. When not moving, Ghasts within firing range will face the player, giving the impression that they can see through transparent materials. Ghasts can draw a line-of-sight through curtains of lava, and their fireballs can pass through it meaning players near a pillar of lava can be struck without seeing the source. However, the Ghast can "cancel" its fireball while shooting if the player moves behind an obstruction or builds one.

Ghasts may drop a ghast tear when killed, but this can be hard to collect - because it is a flying mob, the tear may fall into lava or an inaccessible area. Ghast tears are a positive potion ingredient for Regeneration potions, and are very valuable on most servers with economies, so Ghast tears are well worth obtaining.

If shot at by a Ghast just try to hit the fireball back at the Ghast; if you happen to hit the Ghast, it will die in one hit. Doing this will also earn you the Return To Sender achievement. Also, when in the Nether, always build a cobblestone wall around your portal to prevent it being deactivated by a Ghast, for Ghasts cannot destroy cobblestone.

A Ghast fireball will deactivate an active portal, but a second fireball will (re-)activate the inactive frame. (Or you can just use a flint and steel or a fire charge.)

The current Ghast fireball texture - same as the one for the Fire Charge

The Ghast's fireball attack has a straight trajectory unaffected by gravity and an unlimited or very long range limited in practice only by the confines of the Nether's caverns. Their explosions can often be heard without the impact being seen. At close range, it is one of the most powerful mob attacks in Minecraft, third only to the explosion of a Creeper and the melee attack of an Iron Golem or the explosion of a wither skeleton skull powered by a Wither. A direct hit from point blank range will deal 8.5 hearts of damage but damage decreases with distance and is less if the player is simply caught in the blast radius. However, fire damage from a direct hit will most likely kill the unprotected player.

Additionally, the projectile is fairly slow and aims slightly above the player's head. When two Ghast fireballs collide, one is deflected to a random direction while the other explodes upon impact.

Hitting a Ghast fireball with an item held in hand, an empty hand or a fired arrow will deflect the fireball in the direction of the player's aim. Charged arrows may destroy the fireball instead of deflecting it. Again, a Ghast struck by its own fireball (or even another Ghast's fireball) will be killed instantly, however this is very hard to do.

If a Ghast's fireball hits a portal or hits close to it the portal will be closed,[2] requiring re-ignition. If the player manages to get a Ghast to fire at the portal while it is closed, it can be reignited using the fireball. Blocks are also set on fire by the explosion, adding an extra hazard to fighting Ghasts.

The minimum block resistance required to absorb all blast force of the Ghast's fireballs is 20.17, meaning that fences and other blocks with low blast resistance will be destroyed in a fireball explosion.

Cobblestone is a good building material to use, as it is strong enough to resist a Ghast's fireball. Other safe materials include bricks, stone brick, obsidian, Nether brick (including Nether brick fences), iron bars, and iron doors. Netherrack should not be used, as it is easily destroyed by explosions, and fires set on it by Ghast fireballs will not burn out.

On multiplayer if you log out when a ghast fireball is flying when you log back in it will slow to a stop and can be hit to launch again (at your aim)

Similarly, a ghast fireball may be used as a personal weapon that explodes on contact. This can be achieved by using an external editor such as MCedit to turn a stationary fireball (which can also be created using external editors) into a spawner which spawns the aforementioned entity to a set position. The player can then cover the stationary fireball with water (to prevent damage in case of a misfire). Once the player has done this they can punch the fireball in any direction which serves as a very effective turret.

As of the 1.4 update it is possible to change the explosion strength of ghasts with external editors.

Fighting Ghasts

Ghasts are often considered the most difficult mob to kill in the Nether owing to their extreme attack range, explosive attack power, and mobility. They are also quite common; players in any exposed area will have to deal with them sooner or later and possibly from the moment they step out of a portal. Ghast fireballs have a profound effect on Nether architecture, making a compelling case to use only materials resistant to their explosions for outer walls and exterior fittings in places where their fire may be drawn. Not only do the explosions have lots of knockback, but they can break blocks under the player... and the Nether has many thin floors. Thus, players are vulnerable when caught in unknown and/or precarious territory, and especially when building (when they may not be able to move freely, and might be perched above a long fall).

Fortunately, their aim is poor at most ranges, especially if you're moving. Also, Ghasts don't actually pursue the player. This means you can hide behind cover, and they won't just chase and corner you. On the flip side, they hardly need to chase you and you can't easily lure them into range (or traps).

Most Ghast kills are made with a bow and arrows because of the Ghast's position in the air. Unfortunately, they are agile, and it will usually take at least two or three arrows to kill them. (More specifically, a plain bow will take one or two hits, though a suitably enchanted bow can kill them with one fully charged hit.) When aiming a bow, players should lead their shots as Ghasts can quickly change trajectory and move quite quickly. Depending on the Ghast's range and relative altitude, it is usually necessary to also aim at a high trajectory to gain extra range. Where possible, having the advantage in altitude (such as shooting from the topmost layer of the Nether) is of enormous help.

It is also possible to kill Ghasts by deflecting their attacks back at them. A deflected fireball will kill any Ghast in one hit, and even a near-miss may damage them with the explosion. The biggest advantage of doing this is that Ghast fireballs are infinite, while a player's arrows are not. (You also get the Return to Sender achievement.) However, "fireball tennis" is a bit trickier than it sounds. Besides the Ghast's agility, properly deflecting the fireball needs good timing and/or luck, and usually risks taking a direct hit. The player can deflect a fireball by hitting it with anything before they impact, even bare hands. Because of their low speed, spamming mouseclicks is often enough to deflect a fireball. Shooting at the fireball can also deflect it; this works with not only arrows, but snowballs and even fishing rods. The fishing rod, when released, slightly affects the fireball's trajectory. This relationship goes both ways and a Ghast's constant stream of fireballs may well interfere with a bow's firing arc.

A Ghast can be killed with melee weapons if the player can get close enough -- indeed, 2 blows from a stone sword will destroy one. Ghasts are especially vulnerable when caught under low ceilings, or even when they happen to come within sword's-reach of the ground. It is possible to use a fishing rod to draw Ghasts into sword range... if they're already in range of the rod. A close Ghast is also much easier to hit with a bow, though reaction time against its fireballs is likewise lessened.

To instead dodge fireballs, move from side to side, rather than running away. Ghasts fire slightly above and/or behind the current location of the player, from the Ghast's point of view. This means that a player running away is 'more likely to get hit -- the fireball will be aimed just about where they're running to.

Much like using neutral or enemy mobs as shields against arrows fired by Skeletons in the regular world, it is feasible to use Zombie Pigmen as shields against Ghasts in the Nether. It is possible to injure or kill Zombie Pigmen in this fashion without ever making them hostile to the player.

An effective method of fighting Ghasts is to make a shelter, preferably out of brick, cobblestone, obsidian, or other explosion-resistant materials. Make a 1x1 hole in the roof and add ladders leading up to it, in such a way that you can poke the upper half of your body through the roof. When a Ghast is near, climb the ladder, shoot an arrow at the Ghast and quickly descend again into your explosion-proof shelter. This should mean that you can kill Ghasts easily with minimal health loss. However, the ladders may get blown up/burned down by the explosion. To improve this even further, add a small 3×3 roof 1 block above the hole in the main roof. Most of the Ghasts' fireballs will now hit this roof rather than you, meaning that you should be safe against most Ghast attacks. If you have the cobblestone, making the shelter larger than 3×3 will allow for both exits, and cover from all directions. Iron bars make good windows for these shelters, but won't hold ladders.

In addition, a more range reducing method is to grab a Ghast coming relatively close to you and attempt to hook it with a fishing rod, after hooking it with a fishing rod, right click again to bring the ghast closer to you, this will allow you to take a better shot with your bow, or better yet, a blow with a sword in hand. To be better with this method, optimize your inventory for this so that you can take advantage of the reduced range.

Resistance to fire

Burning ghast

A Ghast set on fire by lava

Ghasts may also be set on fire, but fire and lava don't actually damage them. A similar effect is seen with Zombie Pigmen and all other Nether mobs. When a Ghast is caught in lava, its movement is impeded, and can then be easily targeted with arrows. At around 23:09 in this video, a Ghast impeded by a lavafall can be seen, and again, but closer and for a longer period of time, at 23:59.

Ghast/video

'Note: At 0:39 in the video, he says that the player can only kill a Ghast with an arrow, or with deflecting a fireball. However, this is not true. It is possible to kill a Ghast with a sword, although hard unless you are in a cavern with a ceiling that is high enough for a Ghast to spawn, but low enough that you can hit it.

'''Prismarine crystals''' are items obtained by defeating [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s. They are used along with [[prismarine shard]]s to craft [[sea lantern]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

[[Guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s have a 40% chance and {{frac|1|3}} chance, respectively, of dropping prismarine crystals upon death. The maximum drop count is increased by one per level of [[Looting]].

=== Mining ===

Prismarine crystals are dropped by [[sea lantern]]s when not using a [[Silk Touch]] tool. They drop 2–3 crystals each time, which can be increased to a maximum of 5 using the [[Fortune]] enchantment.

'''Items''' are "dropped" [[block]]s or [[item]]s (non-block resources) that appear in the world, rather than being in the [[inventory]] of a [[player]] or [[block entity]]; they are a type of [[entity]].

== Appearance ==

[[File:Item entities.png|150px|thumb|3D dropped items, both blocks and strict items.]]

Items have two possible appearances, generally corresponding to whether the item appears as a 3D or 2D shape in a player's inventory screens. 3D items appear as their 3D shape, miniaturized to about {{frac|1|4}} scale, while 2D items appear as {{frac|1|2}} scale with all the pixels extruded into a cube. Both types slowly rotate and bob up and down; this is merely a visual effect, the item itself does not actually rotate or bob up and down.

Item entities that represent a stack of more than one item appear as several items stuck together. Stacks of 1 appear as one item, 2-16 as two items, 17–32 as three, 33-48 as four, and 49+ as five.

The rotation rate of the item is approximately 2.87675 degrees per tick, or 57.595 degrees per second.

== Behavior ==

Item entities come from many sources. Some common ones are:
* The death of a [[mob]] or [[player]].
* A [[block]] that is mined by a player, destroyed by an [[explosion]], or washed away by [[water]].
* An inventory item tossed by pressing the drop item key (default {{key|Q}} on PC, {{xbtn|dpad-down}} on Xbox, {{nsbtn|down}}/{{nsbtn|dpad-down}} on Nintendo Switch, {{psbtn|dpad-down}} on PlayStation) or dragging a stack outside of an inventory window.
** In the mobile versions of {{el|be}}, items in the hotbar can be dropped by pressing on the item's slot. The entire stack is dropped.
* A container (other than an {{BlockLink|ender chest}} or a {{BlockLink|shulker box}}) that is destroyed while holding items inside.

The player may be thought of as having an "item pickup" box that surrounds their hitbox. This pickup box extends 1 additional block to the horizontal sides, and 0.5 additional blocks up and down. Any item whose hitbox intersects with the pickup box can be picked up. The pickup box is inclusive on the horizontal sides (distance less than or equal to 1 will count), and exclusive on the vertical sides (distance less than 0.5 will count, but not equal). When the player's hitbox size changes, such as when crouching{{only|java}} or sleeping, the pickup box size changes with it.

Once an item entity's hitbox overlaps with the player's pickup box, it can transfer its items. As many items as can fit in the player inventory, excluding the armor slots and the [[dual wield|off-hand slot]], are transferred. If any item is transferred, [[Item (entity)#Sounds|a "plopping" sound]] is played. If all items are transferred, the items appear to move into the center of the player. The item entity never physically moves, however, which means it can appear to go through lava and blocks in its path. This can happen through blocks that are thinner than a full block, but also through the shared edge of two full blocks. Unlike [[experience orb]]s, multiple item entities can be picked up simultaneously. Dropped items have a delay of 10 [[tick]]s (half a second) between appearing and being able to be picked up, or 40 ticks (2 seconds) if thrown by a player, [[dolphin]], or [[fox]].

When two stackable items of the same type come within 3/4 of a block of each other, they merge into a single stack if the resulting stack size does not exceed that item's maximum stack size.

Items do not collide with other entities(except boats) and are only moved or stopped by blocks.

Like other entities, items can be pushed by flowing water and [[bubble column]]s, pushed by a [[piston]], launched by a moving [[slime block]], stuck to a [[honey block]], or caught in a [[cobweb]]. Items move at faster speeds if [[ice]] is placed under the flowing water. When in still water, items float slowly up to the surface.

Items can be reared by [[fishing rod]]s, costing 3 [[durability]].{{only|je}}

If an item is within a [[solid block]], then it flies out one of the unobstructed sides, or out of the top of the block if surrounded by solid blocks on all sides. It does this even if the space below is unoccupied; therefore, it is possible to recover an item dropped by breaking a hole in a floor by quickly placing another block there.

Items visually disappear when the player is about 16 blocks away from them, and reappear when they get closer. This distance can be adjusted by the "Entity Distance" slider in [[Options#Video Settings|video settings]].

Unlike most entities, items cannot be spectated in [[Spectator]] mode without use of the {{cmd|spectate}} command.

=== Damage ===
Items cannot be attacked by players or mobs; attempting to do so simply hits through them. However, they take damage and disappear from environmental or block-based damage such as [[explosion]]s, [[fire]], [[lava]], and contact with [[cactus|cacti]]. Items have essentially no health, so they are destroyed by the slightest damage, though if set on fire they may remain for a few seconds before disappearing. [[Nether star]]s are immune to explosions, and [[netherite]]-based items and tools are immune to fire and float on top of lava. Also, some blocks that normally damage mobs, such as [[magma block]]s, [[campfire]]s, [[Sweet Berries|sweet berry bushes]], [[flower|wither rose]]s and [[powder snow]], do not damage items.

=== Despawning ===

Items despawn after 6000 game [[tick]]s (5 minutes) of being in a loaded, entity-ticking [[chunk]]; this is affected by the player's [[simulation distance]]. If two item stacks merge, the timer is set to the item that has more time remaining. The 5-minute timer is paused when the chunk is unloaded or no longer processing entities. Nether stars do not despawn{{only|bedrock}}.

Items that fall into the [[void]] immediately despawn when they fall below Y=-128 in the [[Overworld]], or Y=-64 in [[the Nether]] and [[the End]].

A '''bed''' is a [[Dye|dyeable]] [[block]] that allows a player to sleep and to reset their [[spawn]] point to within a few blocks of the bed in the [[Overworld]]. If the bed is obstructed or removed, the player spawns at the default world spawning location.

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
;Igloo
A red bed naturally generates in each [[igloo]].
;Village
Beds of various colors generate in [[village]] houses, depending on the specific structure and [[biome]]:
* [[Desert]] village houses have cyan, green, or lime beds.
* [[Plains]] village houses have white or yellow beds.
* [[Savanna]] village houses have orange, red, or yellow beds.
* [[Snowy taiga]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}} and [[taiga]] village houses have blue or purple beds.
* [[Snowy tundra]] village houses have blue, red, or white beds.

=== Breaking ===
Beds can be mined with any [[tool]], or without a tool.<ref>{{bug|MC-192722||Beds have no assigned tool}}</ref>

{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Bed|sprite=red-bed|any}}

A bed also drops itself as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level shepherd villagers sell 1 of 16 beds for 3 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.

== Usage ==
=== Sleeping ===
[[File:Sleep Animation.gif|240px|thumb|Player falling asleep.]]

Beds are used by pressing the {{control|use item}} button while looking at the bed.

A player sleeps by {{control|using|using}} a bed during a [[thunderstorm]], or at [[night]] (between 12542 and 23459 ticks in clear weather, when stars appear in the sky, or between 12010 and 23991 ticks in rainy weather). Players can sleep during a thunderstorm even if they are in a biome where it does not rain (i.e. Desert). Attempting to use a bed at any other time results in the message "You can sleep only at night or during thunderstorms"{{only|java|short=1}} or "You can only sleep at night".{{only|bedrock|short=1}} A player sleeps in a bed for 101 in-game [[tick]]s, or 5.05 seconds before the time skips to the next day. Sleeping in a bed with the {{cmd|gamerule doDaylightCycle}} set to <code>false</code> results in the player being kicked out of the bed after the 101 ticks, but does not change time of the world to day.

Sleeping in a bed is possible only in the [[Overworld]]. Attempting to sleep in a bed in [[the Nether]], [[the End]], and [[custom dimension]]s in which they are disabled causes it to [[explosion|explode]] and set [[fire]] to surrounding blocks; unless {{cmd|gamerule respawnBlocksExplode}}{{only|bedrock}} is set to {{cd|false}}.<ref>{{bug|mcpe-28723}} – "Exploding bed in the Nether" resolved as "Works As Intended". This is referenced {{in|je}} when a player is killed by "Intentional Game Design". </ref> The explosion has power 5, which is stronger than [[TNT]] (4), but not as strong as a charged [[creeper]] or [[End Crystal|end crystal]] (6). The explosion centers on the head part of the bed. [[Villager]]s can sleep normally in any dimension without the bed being blown up.<ref>{{bug|MC-146515|||WAI}}</ref> Upon death from a bed explosion, the [[death messages|message]] "'''(Player) was killed by [Intentional Game Design]'''" appears.

The player must be close to the bed to sleep. If the player is close enough to click on the bed, but not close enough to sleep in it, the message "You may not rest now, the bed is too far away"{{only|java|short=1}}/"Bed is too far away"{{only|bedrock|short=1}} appears. A player must be within 2 blocks of the bed {{in|JE}} or 3 blocks {{in|BE}} to use the bed.

If a "monster" is within 8 blocks of the bed horizontally (in the X- and Z-axis), and 5 blocks vertically (in the Y-axis), the message "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby" appears and the player is prevented from sleeping until the monsters leave or are killed. Most hostile mobs, as well as some neutral mobs prevent players from sleeping, as shown in the table below.

{{notelist}}
If the player has not entered a bed and didn't die for 3 in-game days, [[phantom]]s can spawn unless {{cmd|gamerule doInsomnia}} is set to {{cd|false}}. {{in|java}}, this can be verified by checking if the "Time Since Last Rest" [[statistic]] is greater than 1.00 h.

A hostile mob can wake a player that is sleeping.

The player also cannot sleep in a bed occupied by another player, resulting in the message, "This bed is occupied".

A player can, however, sleep in a bed being used by a villager. The player may first wake the villager (pressing {{control|use}} on the villager) and then quickly enter the bed before the villager can lie down again. The villager reclaims the bed after the player wakes. The villager is kicked out of its bed when a player attempts to sleep there.

A player also cannot sleep while on fire, while poisoned, or while starving.

If all sleeping requirements are met and the player enters a bed, the player is positioned in the bed. The player falls asleep as the screen fades to black. {{IN|bedrock}}, the sleeping animation slowly lowers the player into bed.

Once all players in a world are asleep, after 5 seconds (100 ticks) the time of day changes to sunrise. (time 0)

During this time, the chat window is focused, and the player can leave the bed by clicking the {{btn|Leave Bed}} button.

[[Waterlogging|Waterlogged]] beds{{only|bedrock}} cannot be slept in unless the player or villager has the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} or {{EffectLink|Conduit Power}} status effects. Attempting to use a waterlogged bed otherwise does not display any message.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-35802}}</ref>

Beds displaying an error above the hotbar is a feature exclusive to beds; other blocks that cannot be used do not display such a message.<ref>{{bug|MC-160479}} resolved as "Works As Intended"</ref>

If there are two or more blocks of space above the bed, then the player can wake up on the bed. If there is less than two blocks above the bed and there is room on the side, then the player wakes up on the side of the bed. If there is no space on the side of the bed and there is less than two blocks above the bed, then the player still wakes up on top of the bed, but suffocates if it's a solid block. 

Villagers always wake up on top of the bed, meaning they can suffocate if there isn't enough room above the bed.

====Passing the night====
Sleeping changes the [[daylight cycle|time of day]] to sunrise and resets the [[weather]] cycle, changing the weather to clear conditions. {{IN|JE}}, the weather cycle is only reset if it is currently raining or snowing. The player wakes up next to the bed, facing the bed.

Sleeping does not accelerate processes that take place over time such as the growth of [[crops]] or [[smelting]]. If {{cmd|gamerule doDaylightCycle}} is <code>false</code>, the player instead wakes up in the night.

To skip the night in multiplayer, all players in the [[Overworld]] must be in bed at the same time. Pressing the {{btn|Leave Bed}} button is not necessary in this case. The percentage of players that need to sleep to skip the night can be customized with the game rule {{cd|playersSleepingPercentage}}.

Villagers are unable to skip the night by sleeping in beds, unlike players.

If the bed is destroyed while the player is in it, due to for example an explosion or by another player, the player wakes prematurely and the night does not pass.

====Setting the spawn point====
Once a player has entered a bed (or right clicked the bed during daytime), their spawn point is set to the location of that bed. {{IN|java}}, multiple players can set their spawn point on a single bed. {{IN|bedrock}}, the last player to use a specific bed is the only player who can respawn there, and players who had previously slept there respawn at the world spawn.

{{ctrl|Using}} a bed in the daytime likewise sets the spawn point, without actually entering the bed. 

When a bed explodes, it does not set the spawn point. 

The message "Respawn point set" is displayed in chat when the respawn point is successfully changed.

The check for a bed is made only when the player respawns. This means that the bed can be destroyed and replaced or even reoriented, but as long as there is a bed present in the same location, the player can respawn there. If a player's bed is absent, or if the area around the bed is made unsuitable for respawning (see below), a message is displayed saying ''You have no home bed or respawn anchor, or it was obstructed''{{only|je}}/''Your home bed was missing or obstructed''{{only|be}}, and the player respawns at the [[Spawn#World spawn|world spawn]] point. 

When choosing where to respawn the player, the northwesternmost (lowest X- and Z-coordinates) location of the seven blocks adjacent to the head of the bed is chosen first. If this location is obstructed, the next choice is to its south (+Z), rather than the east (+X). Only when all seven locations around the head are obstructed are the three remaining ones adjacent to the foot then to be considered. 

For a location to be unobstructed, the block at the level of the bed must be air or non-solid (e.g. torches, but not glass) and there must be a space with a solid block below it and two non-colliding blocks for the player to stand in 0-2 blocks below the bed. It does not matter if the bed itself has blocks above it. Putting a slab one block above a bed can act as a two block tall space, as the bed is half a block tall. The bed never spawns the player on or directly below itself even if all other locations are obstructed. If a bed is obstructed, the player's spawn point is cleared after they respawn. That is, even if the bed is subsequently made usable again, the player continues to respawn at the world spawn until interacting with the bed again. 

Specifically, when interacting with it, the location of the ''head'' of the bed is saved as the spawn point, and if a bed is in that space (whether it is the foot or the head) then the respawn works. This can be observed by reorienting the bed with its head in the same location. Interacting with it does not produce a "Respawn point set" message as the game doesn't change the saved spawn point. If a bed is reoriented so that its foot is in this space, it still functions on the next respawn, but it can also be interacted with to update the spawn point to the new head of the bed and cause a "Respawn point set" message. Attempting the reverse, reorienting the bed so that it overlaps the original location of the foot, results in a respawn at world spawn. However, the location of the foot of the bed is also saved. If the bed is moved so that part of it overlaps the original location of the head, it can be observed that the same locations need to be obstructed to stop spawning. It is possible to respawn 2 blocks away from the bed this way.

=== Bouncing===
Falling onto a bed bounces the player with 66% strength – the bouncing-up velocity is 66% of the impact velocity. The player also takes 50% of normal fall damage.

Baby villagers bounce on beds during the day.

If the player is falling while sleeping requirements are met, and presses {{control|use}} on a bed within reach before hitting the ground, the fall damage is delayed until the player wakes.

A player can bounce on a bed while another player or villager is sleeping on it without waking the player or the villager up.

Villagers can be pushed onto beds, as the bed is half a block tall.

=== Curing===
Each bed in the vicinity of a zombie villager has a chance to speed up the [[Zombie_Villager#Curing|process of curing the zombie villager]]. Iron bars (such as in a prison cell) also have this effect.

=== Placement===
Beds require two blocks of floor space. Placement requires at least 2 blocks from the player's facing direction. When placed, the foot of the bed is placed on the block selected and the head of the bed on the block farther away from the player. {{IN|bedrock}}, beds require solid blocks below them when placed. However, the bed remains in place if its supporting blocks are later removed. {{IN|java}}, beds do not require supporting blocks and can be placed anywhere, provided there is enough room.

{{Issue list}}

== Trivia==
* The reason beds explode in the Nether and the End is because Notch found it was the easiest solution to dimension-unique respawning.<ref>{{tweet|Notch|1259681657793077250|duh|11 May 2020}}, in response to {{tweet|NoahBandito|1259681319392550912|So you're telling me the "Inteded Game Design" should actually be "Sorry, I was too lazy to code"?|11 May 2020}}</ref>
** Dimension-unique respawning was eventually implemented via the [[respawn anchor]], and gained command support at the same time. Despite this, beds and respawn anchors still explode in invalid dimensions.
* If the player quits the game while sleeping, upon return the player wakes up beside the bed.
* Using the {{cmd|teleport}} command while another player is sleeping still teleports the sleeping player, but the player wakes immediately.{{only|java}}
* If the player places a bed on [[ice]], running over the bed acts like running over ice, similar to slabs.
* When placed using the {{cmd|setblock}} command, only one half of a bed is placed, because beds are two blocks long. A single half can be slept in like a whole bed.
* Villagers can sleep in the Nether and the End without causing the bed to explode.<ref>{{bug|MC-146515}} Resolved as Works As Intended</ref>
* While the block state used to determine the half of a two-block block such as [[door]]s and double-tall [[flower]]s is called ''half'', in the case of beds this is called ''part''.

A '''pitcher pod''' is an ancient bulbous seed that has a chance to be dropped by [[Sniffer|sniffers]] when they finish digging. It is the seed for [[Pitcher Plant]]s.

== Obtaining ==
[[Sniffer]]s occasionally bury their nose in the ground and start digging. Once the sniffer has finished digging, one pitcher pod has a chance to be dropped on the floor as an item.

Sniffers can only dig for pitcher pods in the following blocks:
*{{BlockLink|Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Podzol}}
*{{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Mud}}
*{{BlockLink|Muddy Mangrove Roots}}
They cannot dig for pitcher pods on [[mycelium]].<ref>{{bug|MC-260259||Sniffers cannot dig nor find seeds on mycelium|WAI}}</ref>

== Usage ==
=== Pitcher Crop ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1=Pitcher Crop Farming}}
Pitcher pods can be placed on [[farmland]] by {{ctrl|using}}, where they grow through three stages as a '''pitcher crop'''.

Breaking the crop before it matures drops the pitcher pod, while breaking the final stage produces a [[pitcher plant]] and does ''not'' yield the pod. Pitcher crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

Farmer [[villager]]s can plant pitcher pods, but cannot harvest them once they have fully grown.<ref>{{bug|MC-263382|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Feeding ===
Pitcher pods can be used to breed [[chicken]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of chicks by 10%.

=== Taming ===
Pitcher pods can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.

{{Item

| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}} 

A '''bone''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained from [[skeleton]]s and similar mobs. It can be crafted into [[Bone Meal|bone meal]] or used to tame wild [[Wolf|wolves]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|bone}}

=== Mob loot ===

Skeletons, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, and [[stray]]s may drop 0–2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 bones with Looting III.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]] have 25% chance to drop 1-2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 2-8 bones with Looting III.
Salmon (small and medium size) have 25% chance to drop 1 bone upon death, The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2-7 bones with Looting III. The chance of dropping bones increases by 1% per looting level, so with Looting III there is up to a 28% chance of bones dropping.

=== Fishing ===

Bones can also be obtained by [[fishing]] as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
[[File:Steve wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
[[File:Alex wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
While a bone cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear in the player's mouth.

=== Taming ===

Using a bone on a wild [[wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[taming]] it. Bones cannot tame a hostile wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed. However, bones can be used to attract the attention of the tamed ones.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
A bone can be crafted into 3 bone meal.

====[[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]]====
Helmets can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[armor material]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down.

===Mob loot===

If a [[zombie]], [[husk]], [[stray]] or [[skeleton]] is wearing armor, there is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop a helmet upon death. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be [[enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[vindicator]]s and [[pillager]]s spawned in [[raid]]s have a 8.3525% chance (10.28% on hard) to drop [[iron]] helmets. The dropped helmets are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being [[enchanted]] with a random [[enchantment]].

===Natural generation===
Two [[armor stand]]s are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one of them equipped with an [[iron helmet]].

===Chest loot===
{{IN|BE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest sometimes containing an [[Efficiency]] I leather cap.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-109048}}</ref>
{{LootChestItem|leather-cap,random-enchanted-leather-cap,chainmail-helmet,iron-helmet,level-enchanted-iron-helmet,golden-helmet,random-enchanted-golden-helmet,diamond-helmet,damaged-diamond-helmet,level-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet-2}}

===Trading===

{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance to sell an iron helmet for 4 emeralds. Journeyman-level armorers have a 40% chance to sell a chainmail helmet for 1 emerald. Master-level armorers always sell an enchanted diamond helmet for 11-27 emeralds. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell a leather cap<ref group="note" name="dye note">The leather armor has a random color created by two dyes (possibly the same dye twice.)</ref> for 5 emeralds. Master-level leatherworker villagers offer the same trade.

Armorer villagers may give the players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect a chainmail helmet.

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 25% chance to sell iron helmet for 5 emeralds, {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell chainmail helmet at journeyman-level for an emerald, and 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond helmet for 8 emeralds at master-level. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a 50% chance to sell leather cap for 5 emeralds as part of their trades, and 50% chance to sell an enchanted leather cap for 5 emeralds at the master level.

{{notelist|columns=1}}

==Usage ==

Helmets can be placed in the top armor slot of a player's [[inventory]] for activation.

===Defense points===

Defense points are each signified by half of a shirt of mail in the armor bar above the health bar. Each defense point reduces any damage dealt to the player that is absorbed by armor by 4%, increasing additively with the number of defense points. Different materials and combinations of armor provide different levels of defense.

The following table shows the number of defense points added by helmets.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet defense points"
|-
! scope="col" |Material
! scope="col" |

! scope="row" |Iron
|-
! scope="row" |Turtle Shell
|-
! scope="row" |Diamond
| rowspan="2" |{{armor|3}}
|-
! scope="row" |Netherite
|}

===Knockback resistance===
A netherite helmet provides 10% knockback resistance.

===Durability===

The following table shows the amount of damage each piece of armor can absorb before being destroyed.

Any "hit" from a damage source that can be blocked by armor removes one point of durability from each piece of armor worn for every {{hp|4}} of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Damage taken that armor doesn't protect (such as [[Damage#Fall damage|falling]] or [[Damage#Drowning|drowning]]) does not damage the armor, even if it is enchanted to protect against that type of damage. The following chart displays how many hits helmets can endure.

Netherite armor is not damaged by [[lava]] or [[fire]] when worn.

|-

|}

====Repair====

Helmets may be [[item repair|repaired]] by using them along with some of their crafting material (leather, gold ingots, iron ingots, diamonds or netherite) in an [[anvil]]. Chainmail helmets may be repaired in this way with iron ingots. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another helmet of like material.

===Enchantments===
A helmet can receive the following [[enchantment]]s. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher [[Tutorials/Enchanting mechanics#Enchantability|enchantability]] than iron or diamond.

===Turtle shell effect===

Equipping a {{ItemSprite|Turtle Shell}} turtle shell provides the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} status effect, allowing the player to remain underwater for an additional 10 seconds. The time that this effect lasts does not begin to count down until the player dives underwater, then the 10 seconds are counted down. The effect immediately recharges after exposure to air.

===Brewing ingredient===
A turtle shell can also be used as a potion brewing ingredient.

===Smelting usage===

{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Helmet;Chainmail Helmet;Golden Helmet|Iron Nugget;Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to ''golden'' helmets and pick them up, examining them for 6 to 8 seconds. Piglins can wear other helmets but are not attracted to them. They prefer stronger helmets over weaker helmets, with one exception: They always prefer golden helmets, throwing out stronger helmets in favor of gold helmets. Enchanted helmets are preferred over unenchanted helmets.

==Issues ==

{{issue list}}

==Trivia ==
*Unlike the other helmets, the netherite helmet covers most of the player's face, due to a nose guard and cheek plates.
*The turtle shell is the only helmet that is not part of a complete set.
* In Bedrock Edition, there exists a bug<ref>{{Cite bug|MCPE|109048|Efficiency 1 Leather Cap in Woodland Mansions|date=December 1, 2020}}</ref> that makes it possible to obtain a Leather Cap enchanted with Efficiency I from [[Woodland Mansion]] chests with a chance of 1.45%. The enchantment has no effect on the cap, however.

'''Coal''' is a mineral [[item]] mainly obtained from [[Coal Ore|coal ore]]. It is primarily used for crafting [[torches]] and [[Campfire|campfires]], as well as [[fuel]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===
{{see also|Coal Ore#Natural generation}}
{{LootChestItem|coal}}

=== Mining ===

[[Coal ore]] are mined using a [[pickaxe]] and drops 1 piece of coal. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra piece per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 with Fortune III.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Wither skeleton]]s have a {{Frac|1|3}} chance of dropping a single coal upon death. The maximum amount of coal is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]]. The chance of a wither skeleton ''not'' dropping any coal can be found using the formula <code>2 / (Looting Level + 3)</code>. For example, Looting III gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance of not dropping any coal. All other amounts have an equal chance of occurring.

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting

 |Block of Coal
 |Output=Coal,9
 |type=Material
}}

=== Smelting ===

{{Smelting
 |head=1
 |Coal Ore

 |Coal
 |0,1
|foot=1
}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Coal}}

=== Fuel ===

When used in a [[furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of coal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), like [[charcoal]]. Coal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[wood planks]] or [[wood]] logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting {{in|je}}, but outstripped by [[wooden slabs]] {{in|be}}. 

Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecart with Furnace|furnace minecart]]s. They provide approximately four minutes of transit each.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 10 coal for one [[emerald]].

{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer and toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy 15 coal for one emerald. Novice-level weaponsmith villagers and apprentice-level butcher villagers have {{frac|2|3}} chance of offering to buy 15 coal for one emerald.

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer, toolsmith, and weaponsmith villagers and apprentice-level butcher villagers buy 15 coal for one emerald.

[[trading|Trade]]s that involve coal cannot be substituted by [[charcoal]].

=== Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 1 fire charge when given a [[gold ingot]].

== Usage ==
[[File:Natural Fire Charge.png|200px|thumb|Dispensing Fire Charge]]

Fire charges can be used as ammunition for [[dispenser]]s, or as a substitute for [[flint and steel]].

When used, it instantly places a [[fire]], similar to flint and steel. The fire charge is consumed in the process. It can prime [[TNT]], light [[Nether portal|nether portals]], [[Campfire|campfires]], [[Candle|candles]], [[Cake|cakes with candles]] and [[creeper]]s{{only|JE}} like flint and steel.

When a fire charge is fired from a dispenser, it shoots a [[small fireball]].

<!-- IT IS SHERD, NOT SHARD! DO NOT CHANGE TO SHARD, AS IT IS NAMED SHERD IN-GAME! -->
'''Pottery sherds'''<ref group="note">The word "[[wiktionary:sherd#English|sherd]]" or "[[wiktionary:potsherd#English|potsherd]]" is used by archaeologists to refer to fragments of pottery or other ceramics in order to differentiate them from "shards" of glass, metal, minerals and other materials.
</ref> are a set of twenty [[item]]s used to craft [[decorated pot]]s with ornamental designs. They can be obtained only by [[brush]]ing [[suspicious block]]s, with the variants of sherd obtainable being dependent on the structure.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
When a [[decorated pot]] is broken with a [[pickaxe]], [[axe]], [[shovel]], [[hoe]] or [[sword]] that is ''not'' enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops all of the pottery sherds and [[brick]]s used to craft it.

=== Suspicious block loot ===
Pottery sherds can be found as [[suspicious block]] loot in [[trail ruins]], [[ocean ruins]], [[desert pyramids]] and [[desert well]]s, and can be extracted from these blocks using a [[brush]].

'''Bottles of entity''' are items that transform players into the respective mobs when drunk.

'''Splash bottle of entity''' are a variation of bottles of mob that can be thrown.

'''Bottle of void''' is a special bottle to transform back to the original player. Right clicking with it on a transformed player will remove the transformation and convert the bottle into a bottle of entity of that transformation.

A transformation into an entity will sometimes lead to special effects. For example, transforming into a chicken will allow the player to glide slowly to the ground. The chicken will however take fall damage upon landing, killing it and transforming the player back to themselves.
Transforming into an enderman will cause the player to be teleported randomly when a projectile it aimed at it or when they're being looked at by other players. Transforming into any mob capable of flight (for example, a bat) will allow the player to fly in survival mode as if they were in creative mode.

== Sounds ==<!--No sounds when thrown from a player or dispenser-->
Splash bottles of entities use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

=== Mob loot ===

==== Pillagers ====

When killed, a [[pillager]] has a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow with random [[durability]]; the [[drop]] rate increases by 1% per [[level]] of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. The [[drop]]ped crossbow can rarely (10% chance) be [[enchanted]] at level 5–19 regardless of being [[enchanted]] when it [[spawn]]ed.

Crossbows dropped by pillagers may have multiple enchantments, including duplicate enchantments on the same weapon.

==== Piglins ====
[[Piglin]]s have a chance of wielding a crossbow upon spawning, and they also have a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow of random durability when killed; this rate increases by 1% per level of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. It can rarely (10% chance) be enchanted at level 5–19 regardless of being enchanted when spawned.

=== Trading ===

Journeyman-level Fletcher [[villager]]s offer to [[trading|sell]] an unenchanted crossbow for 3 [[emerald]]s.

Master-level Fletcher villagers have a {{frac|1|16}} (6.25%) chance of selling an [[enchanting|enchanted]] crossbow for 8 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}}

Master-level Fletcher villagers have {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted crossbow for 7-22 emeralds.{{only|java}}

Despite using [[iron ingot]]s in their crafting recipe, crossbows cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

=== Weapon ===
[[File:Crossbowcooldown.gif|thumb|right|Charging and shooting the crossbow {{in|bedrock}}.]]
Crossbows are similar to [[bow]]s, but take longer to load and are slightly more powerful, shooting farther with slightly higher accuracy. Alternatively, they can be loaded with a firework rocket, which flies in a straight line.

Load them by {{control|using}} them, which makes the player move at sneak speed. Unlike bows, the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] can be fired only if the player releases the use button after the crossbow is loaded{{Only|je}}  or if the crossbow finishes its loading animation {{Only|be}}. At this point, it ''must be used a second time'' to fire its bolt.

Once it has reached full charge, the [[player]]'s speed returns to normal. After that, shooting a charged crossbow does not delay any of the [[player]]'s current action like [[sprinting]] or [[swimming]].

The crossbow can even be placed in another [[inventory]] slot or into an [[item frame]] without the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] being unloaded or fired. A charged crossbow also remains charged after enchanting it with an enchantment table or with an anvil.

In order to use the crossbow, at least one arrow or firework rocket must be present in the inventory. The player can choose the type of arrow to fire based on its location in their [[inventory]]:
* [[File:Java Crossbow 1stP Loading.mp4|thumb|177x177px|Java Edition first-person loading animation for crossbows.]]Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected [[hotbar]] slot if the crossbow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. 
* If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot, the arrow closest to slot 0 is selected. 
Crossbows take 1.25 seconds (25 ticks) to load. 

The player can load either an arrow, spectral arrow, tipped arrow (of any effect) or a firework (of any color/type).
[[File:Bedrock Crossbow 1stP Loading.mp4|thumb|177x177px|Bedrock Edition first-person loading animation for crossbows.]]
[[Endermen]] teleport away from projectile paths, so they cannot be hit with crossbow [[arrow]]s. However, they can still get harmed by [[firework rocket]] explosions, if they can't detect the firework rocket.

=== Fireworks ===

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

|}
Firework rockets also work with the [[Multishot]] enchantment, enabling the [[player]] to shoot 3 firework rockets at a time. The increased durability usage stacks, resulting in 9 durability being consumed with each shot.

A shot firework rocket explodes instantly when it hits a [[mob]] or [[block]].{{only|java}} If the firework rocket has no explosion effect, it deals no [[damage]]. The explosion of a firework rocket deals {{hp|5}} to {{hp|6}} points of damage, with one [[firework star]]. The explosion has a radius of roughly 4 blocks, which is unaffected by the firework star's [[Firework Star#Effects|effect]]. Each additional firework star on the rocket deals an additional {{hp|1}} to {{hp|2}} points of damage, for a maximum of {{hp|11}} to {{hp|18}} with 7 firework stars. The flight duration of the firework increases the maximum range the firework can travel before exploding, but does not affect the damage output. Likewise, the damage remains the same regardless of any dyes used. The [[Piercing]] enchantment causes the firework rocket to pierce a number of entities based on its respective level before exploding.{{only|java}} Unlike an arrow shot from a bow, the firework does not slow down under water.

=== Repair ===

Crossbows can be repaired in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]] by combining two crossbows. Any loaded ammunition is retained from the crossbow in the first slot but sacrificed from the crossbow in the second slot.

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

[[Multishot]] and [[Piercing]] are mutually exclusive. Normal methods of [[enchanting]] allow only one of them to be applied to a crossbow.

Crossbows can receive 3 unique [[enchanting|enchantment]]s, and have a base enchantability of 1. Enchantments specific to crossbows include [[Quick Charge]], Multishot and Piercing.

===Fuel===
Crossbows can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, [[smelting]] 1.5 [[item]]s per crossbow.

==Issues==
{{issue list}}

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

== Usage ==

When {{control|used}} on a [[mob]], a [[fence]], or a [[wall]], balloons attach to the mob or block, similarly to a [[lead]]. Balloons float into the air faster than the speed the [[player]] flies up, but remain grounded if tied to a fence. If tied to a mob, the balloon floats away and carries the mob into the air, before both eventually [[despawn]] or disappear.

When a balloon is shot by an [[arrow]] or a [[trident]], or floats into a solid block, it pops, summons [[particles]], and is destroyed. It drops nothing. A balloon tied to a fence post bursts when a player strikes it in any direction.

'''Items''' are "dropped" [[block]]s or [[item]]s (non-block resources) that appear in the world, rather than being in the [[inventory]] of a [[player]] or [[block entity]]; they are a type of [[entity]].

== Appearance ==

[[File:Item entities.png|150px|thumb|3D dropped items, both blocks and strict items.]]

Items have two possible appearances, generally corresponding to whether the item appears as a 3D or 2D shape in a player's inventory screens. 3D items appear as their 3D shape, miniaturized to about {{frac|1|4}} scale, while 2D items appear as {{frac|1|2}} scale with all the pixels extruded into a cube. Both types slowly rotate and bob up and down; this is merely a visual effect, the item itself does not actually rotate or bob up and down.

Item entities that represent a stack of more than one item appear as several items stuck together. Stacks of 1 appear as one item, 2-16 as two items, 17–32 as three, 33-48 as four, and 49+ as five.

The rotation rate of the item is approximately 2.87675 degrees per tick, or 57.595 degrees per second.

== Behavior ==

Item entities come from many sources. Some common ones are:
* The death of a [[mob]] or [[player]].
* A [[block]] that is mined by a player, destroyed by an [[explosion]], or washed away by [[water]].
* An inventory item tossed by pressing the drop item key (default {{key|Q}} on PC, {{xbtn|dpad-down}} on Xbox, {{nsbtn|down}}/{{nsbtn|dpad-down}} on Nintendo Switch, {{psbtn|dpad-down}} on PlayStation) or dragging a stack outside of an inventory window.
** In the mobile versions of {{el|be}}, items in the hotbar can be dropped by pressing on the item's slot. The entire stack is dropped.
* A container (other than an {{BlockLink|ender chest}} or a {{BlockLink|shulker box}}) that is destroyed while holding items inside.

The player may be thought of as having an "item pickup" box that surrounds their hitbox. This pickup box extends 1 additional block to the horizontal sides, and 0.5 additional blocks up and down. Any item whose hitbox intersects with the pickup box can be picked up. The pickup box is inclusive on the horizontal sides (distance less than or equal to 1 will count), and exclusive on the vertical sides (distance less than 0.5 will count, but not equal). When the player's hitbox size changes, such as when crouching{{only|java}} or sleeping, the pickup box size changes with it.

Once an item entity's hitbox overlaps with the player's pickup box, it can transfer its items. As many items as can fit in the player inventory, excluding the armor slots and the [[dual wield|off-hand slot]], are transferred. If any item is transferred, [[Item (entity)#Sounds|a "plopping" sound]] is played. If all items are transferred, the items appear to move into the center of the player. The item entity never physically moves, however, which means it can appear to go through lava and blocks in its path. This can happen through blocks that are thinner than a full block, but also through the shared edge of two full blocks. Unlike [[experience orb]]s, multiple item entities can be picked up simultaneously. Dropped items have a delay of 10 [[tick]]s (half a second) between appearing and being able to be picked up, or 40 ticks (2 seconds) if thrown by a player, [[dolphin]], or [[fox]].

When two stackable items of the same type come within 3/4 of a block of each other, they merge into a single stack if the resulting stack size does not exceed that item's maximum stack size.

Items do not collide with other entities(except boats) and are only moved or stopped by blocks.

Like other entities, items can be pushed by flowing water and [[bubble column]]s, pushed by a [[piston]], launched by a moving [[slime block]], stuck to a [[honey block]], or caught in a [[cobweb]]. Items move at faster speeds if [[ice]] is placed under the flowing water. When in still water, items float slowly up to the surface.

Items can be reared by [[fishing rod]]s, costing 3 [[durability]].{{only|je}}

If an item is within a [[solid block]], then it flies out one of the unobstructed sides, or out of the top of the block if surrounded by solid blocks on all sides. It does this even if the space below is unoccupied; therefore, it is possible to recover an item dropped by breaking a hole in a floor by quickly placing another block there.

Items visually disappear when the player is about 16 blocks away from them, and reappear when they get closer. This distance can be adjusted by the "Entity Distance" slider in [[Options#Video Settings|video settings]].

Unlike most entities, items cannot be spectated in [[Spectator]] mode without use of the {{cmd|spectate}} command.

=== Damage ===
Items cannot be attacked by players or mobs; attempting to do so simply hits through them. However, they take damage and disappear from environmental or block-based damage such as [[explosion]]s, [[fire]], [[lava]], and contact with [[cactus|cacti]]. Items have essentially no health, so they are destroyed by the slightest damage, though if set on fire they may remain for a few seconds before disappearing. [[Nether star]]s are immune to explosions, and [[netherite]]-based items and tools are immune to fire and float on top of lava. Also, some blocks that normally damage mobs, such as [[magma block]]s, [[campfire]]s, [[Sweet Berries|sweet berry bushes]], [[flower|wither rose]]s and [[powder snow]], do not damage items.

=== Despawning ===

Items despawn after 6000 game [[tick]]s (5 minutes) of being in a loaded, entity-ticking [[chunk]]; this is affected by the player's [[simulation distance]]. If two item stacks merge, the timer is set to the item that has more time remaining. The 5-minute timer is paused when the chunk is unloaded or no longer processing entities. Nether stars do not despawn{{only|bedrock}}.

Items that fall into the [[void]] immediately despawn when they fall below Y=-128 in the [[Overworld]], or Y=-64 in [[the Nether]] and [[the End]].

'''Charcoal''' is an [[item]] obtained by smelting [[log]]s or [[wood]]. It is used as fuel, or for crafting [[torch]]es and [[campfire]]s. Unlike [[coal]], charcoal cannot be traded with [[villager]]s or crafted into a [[block of coal]]. Coal and charcoal also cannot stack together. It can be used as a substitute for coal, as both charcoal and coal have an equivalent duration when smelted.

== Obtaining == 

=== Breaking ===

A [[campfire]] broken without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment drops 2 charcoal.

=== Smelting ===

=== Fuel ===

When used in a [[furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of charcoal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), the same as coal. Charcoal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[wood planks]] or [[wood]] logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting in ''[[Java Edition]]'', but outstripped by [[wooden slabs]] in Bedrock. 

Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecart with Furnace|furnace minecarts]]. They provide approximately four minutes of transit each.

'''Water''' is a [[fluid]] that naturally generates abundantly in the [[Overworld]].

== Obtaining ==
Water blocks do not exist as items,{{only|java}} but water can be collected by using a [[bucket]] on a water source block or a full water [[cauldron]], creating a [[water bucket]].

{{IN|BE}}, it may be obtained as an item via inventory editing or add-ons.

=== Natural generation ===
Water naturally generates in the [[Overworld]] to form [[ocean]]s, [[river]]s and [[spring]]s. The water level is at [[altitude|layer 63]] near oceans and rivers, but changes depending on location due to the [[aquifer]] system, filling some carvers, noise caves and canyons with water at different levels. Water also generates as small puddles on the floor next to [[dripstone cluster]]s, and as clay pools on the floor of [[lush caves]].

Water also generates in [[village]]s, [[desert well]]s, [[stronghold]]s, [[woodland mansion]]s, [[ancient city|ancient cities]] and [[ocean monument]]s. 

Water never generates in [[the Nether]] and instantly disappears if placed there with a water bucket. However, water can exist in the Nether in a [[cauldron]]. Water can also be placed in the Nether using [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}} and {{cmd|fill}}. Although it does not naturally generate there, water can be placed and function normally in [[the End]].

{{IN|be}}, water also generates as part of [[ocean ruins]] with loot [[chest]]s, but only two water blocks generate: 
* One water block generates inside the loot chest, making it a [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] loot chest.
* The other water block generates on top of the loot chest.
These water blocks generate even if the ruin is located on the surface.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-36793}}</ref> This is not the case in {{el|je}}; if an underwater ruin generates on the surface, no water generates.<ref>{{bug|MC-136156}}</ref> This also happens with [[shipwreck]]s.

Water spends most of its time as stationary, rather than flowing – regardless of its level, or whether it contains a current downward or to the side. When specifically triggered by a block update, water changes to 'flowing', updates its level, then changes back to stationary. Water springs are generated as flowing, and oceans, and rivers are generated as stationary. This happens before most types of generated structure are created, and the main cause of water "glitches" is that generated structures do not trigger a block update to let water flow into them.

== Usage ==
=== Appearance ===
Water uses a translucent animated texture that is tinted differently in different biomes. {{IN|Java}}, water in cauldrons is completely opaque.<ref>{{bug|MC-13187}}</ref>

Unlike other translucent blocks such as [[ice]], [[stained glass]] and [[tinted glass]], water shows the opposite sides of its external planes when viewed from within and from outside.<ref>{{bug|MC-202578|||WAI}}</ref> However, it applies only to the top plane and four side planes; the bottom face is always unseen from above.<ref>{{bug|MC-190053}}</ref>

=== Swimming ===
{{main|Swimming}}

The button for {{control|swim|text=swimming}} is the same as the button for jumping; non-swimming players and mobs sink slowly in water. Holding the swim button raises the player through the water, and when the surface is reached, the player bobs up and down. The {{control|crouch}} button can be used to sink faster. The {{control|sprint}} button can be used to put the player in "swim mode" when the player is completely submerged in water. When in swim mode, the player is horizontal and one block high. The player has an arm-waving animation when viewed in third person or by other players.

Swimming in water is considerably slower against currents (see [[#Current|Current]] below), but faster when going with the current.

Most mobs that can stand can also swim any time they are in water, except for [[iron golem]]s, [[piglin]]s, [[hoglin]]s, [[strider]]s, [[piglin brute]]s and undead mobs. This can lead to drowning if the water is falling from above.

Water of any depth prevents any entity, including the player, from sustaining falling damage if they fall into it, regardless of the distance fallen.

Being inside of water also imparts a [[fog]] effect, tinted accordingly.

=== Spreading ===
{{Main|Fluid#Spread}}
[[File:Water spread v1-13.png|300px|right|An image showing water's spreading distance]]
Water spreads horizontally and downward into nearby [[air]] blocks. Water can spread downward infinitely until stopped by a block, and 7 blocks horizontally from a source block on a flat surface. Water spreads at a rate of 1 block every 5 game ticks, or 4 blocks per second.

When spreading horizontally, a weight is assigned to every direction water can flow. For each direction, this weight is initially set to 1000. Then, for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. Finally, water spreads in the directions with the lowest flow weight.

Spreading water extinguishes [[fire]] and washes away certain types of items or placed blocks, causing them to drop as items and then carrying them along in the flow until the edge of the spread. Affected items include [[plant]]s (except trees), [[snow]], [[torch]]es, [[carpet]]s, [[redstone dust]] and some other redstone components, [[cobweb]], [[end rod]]s, [[head]]s, and [[flower pot]]s.

=== Source blocks ===
{{anchor|Water Spawner}} <!-- Compatibility anchor -->
{{about|the behavior and creation of source units of water|the removed block that created water sources|Water Spawner|section=1}}
A water source block is created from a flowing block that is horizontally adjacent to two or more other source blocks, and sitting on top of a solid block or another water source block. This allows water spawners to exist, in which a new source block immediately forms in the space left by removing a source block with a [[bucket]]. Pools of still water can be created by placing water source blocks in a confined area.

Water spawners can be constructed by arranging for two source blocks to flow into a third block. Each of the examples below require two source blocks, each on opposite ends of the hole, to create a renewable water source block in between.

While water source blocks only generate adjacent to solid blocks, they do not require a solid block to support them. Removing all adjacent blocks to a water source block only causes it to remain floating in the air.

{{IN|java}}, the formation of new water sources blocks can be disabled when the [[game rule]] {{cd|waterSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|false}}.

<gallery>
2x2 water source.png|2x2 water spawner (every corner is renewable)
3x1 water source.png|3x1 water spawner (middle water block is renewable)
L-shaped water source.png|L-shaped water spawner (corner water block is renewable)
</gallery>

A [[dispenser]] loaded with a filled [[bucket]] places a water source block in an empty block in front of it when activated. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it sucks the source into the bucket when activated.

In snowy [[biome]]s, water source blocks have a chance to turn into [[ice]] if directly under the sky. Ice blocks under brighter light levels melt back into water source blocks (except in [[the Nether]]). Ice reverts to water when broken, but only if there is a solid block under it.

=== Current ===
The current in a water block determines both the direction it appears to flow and the direction an [[entity]] such as a player or [[boat]] is pushed from that block.

Water with a current pushes players and [[mob]]s at a speed of about 1.39 meters per second, or 25 blocks every 18 seconds. Players that are in creative flying mode don’t get pushed.{{only|je}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-84592}}</ref>

The horizontal current in a water block is based on a vector sum of the flows to and from that block from its four horizontal neighbors. For example, if a block receives water from the north and sends it both south and east, but borders a solid block on its west edge, then a south-southeast current exits from that block, because 2 southward flows (in and out) are combined with 1 eastward flow (out). Thus, 16 horizontal directions are possible. If a branch in a channel is 2 blocks wide at its entrance, then entities float into it rather than continuing in a straight line.

Water blocks can create a downward current. A downward current in a water block is caused by the block below it. Most blocks that do not have a solid upper face cause downward current on above water blocks. Also, ice and falling water blocks (blocks created by spreading downward) cause downward current on the water block above. Falling water blocks have a downward current by default.

=== Light ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, every block of water reduces [[light]] by 1 extra level (in addition to the normal fading-out of light). {{IN|java}}, water does not cause any additional decrease for block light, but diffuses sky light, causing the light to fade with depth. Underwater visibility changes depending on the biome the player is in. The [[Night Vision]] and [[Conduit Power]] effects increase underwater visibility.

=== Color ===
Water has several colors, depending on the biome.

===Water and lava===
{{Main|Fluid#Mixing}}

Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. If water touches a lava source, the lava source turns to obsidian. If both touch each other while flowing, cobblestone is made and no sources are removed, and if lava flows downward onto water, the water turns to stone.

===Interactions with mobs===
====Direct contact====

Water damages [[endermen]], [[snow golem]]s, [[Strider|striders]] and [[blaze]]s, at a rate of {{hp|1}} per half second. If water comes into contact with a [[shulker]] or an [[enderman]], the mob teleports away.

====Suffocation====
{{Main|Damage#Suffocation in water}}

Players and mobs (except [[aquatic mob]]s, [[undead mob]]s and [[iron golem]]s) have a breath meter that lasts 15 seconds. After they run out of breath, they take {{hp|2}} suffocation damage every second until they die, surface, or enter [[bubble column]]s.

[[Dolphin]]s are a special case in drowning: they take suffocation damage when underwater for about 4 minutes, but also take suffocation damage when in air for about 2 minutes.

Each level of the [[Respiration]] enchantment adds 15 seconds to the breath meter and grants an x/(x+1) chance (where x is the Respiration level) of not taking damage after that time: 30 seconds and an average {{hp|1}}/second with Respiration I, 45 seconds and an average of {{frac|2|3}} damage/second with Respiration II, and 60 seconds and an average of {{frac|1|2}} damage/second with Respiration III.

If a [[husk]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually becomes a [[zombie]]. If a [[zombie]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually transforms into a [[drowned]].

=== Slower mining speed===
Players with their head underwater require 5 times the normal amount of time to mine blocks while standing on the ground, or 25 times while not on the ground. If a player wears a helmet with the [[Aqua Affinity]] enchantment, then underwater mining speed while standing on the ground is the same as on land, and 5 times slower if not standing on the ground.

===Explosions===
Water does not prevent explosions from activating. Water has a high blast resistance, causing it to absorb any normal blasts, with the exception of explosions from [[underwater TNT]].

===Hardening concrete powder ===
When water comes into contact with [[concrete powder]], the powder hardens into solid [[concrete]].

===Sponges===
When a dry [[sponge]] comes into contact with a water source or flowing block, it becomes a wet [[sponge]], absorbing all water within 3 to 5 blocks in all directions. [[Kelp]] and [[lily pad]]s within the absorbed water blocks are destroyed and drop as items, and [[seagrass]] is destroyed without dropping anything. Mobs that take damage out of water are affected as a side-effect. 

Sponges do not absorb water from [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] blocks, nor water that comes into contact by flowing back in from outside the area of absorption. For instance, placing a sponge 4 or more blocks from a single water source removes the flowing water in the area of effect, but as the flow from the source resumes it is not affected by the wet sponge.

A sponge instantly absorbs nearby water when it is placed next to water or when water comes into contact with it (by being placed next to the sponge, or by flowing toward it). A sponge absorbs [[water]] around itself (water source blocks or flowing water) out to a [[taxicab distance]] of 7 in all directions (including up and down), but won't absorb more than 65 blocks of water (water closest to the sponge is absorbed first). The absorption propagates only from water to water and does not "jump over" non-water blocks (including air).

===Dripping===
[[File:WaterDropletsExample.png|thumb|Dripping water.]]
Water above a non-transparent block (except for stairs, fences, or slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. If a block of [[Pointed Dripstone|pointed dripstone]] hangs under any block directly beneath a water source, the drips can slowly fill up a [[cauldron]] placed underneath. Without the dripstone, a cauldron does not fill.

===Vertical transport===
[[Bubble column]]s are created by placing magma blocks or [[soul sand]] under water. These can be used to transport [[mobs]] or items quickly vertically.

==Issues==
{{Issue list}}

==Trivia==
*The texture subtly overlaid on the screen when underwater is that of the original water texture from 0.0.12a.
**The outdatedness of this texture is not considered a bug or oversight, unlike many other outdated textures.<ref>{{bug|MC-241000|||Invalid}}</ref>
**This texture is particularly difficult to notice due to its extreme transparency,<ref>{{bug|MC-128337}}</ref> as well as the fact that other blocks likely make the scene visually noisy enough to further obscure it under most conditions.
* While underwater, the player's FOV (field of vision) is lowered by 10 to simulate light {{w|refraction}}. This can be disabled via the "FOV Effects" [[option]].
*If a player or mob with the [[Levitation]] effect touches water, the effect is completely negated.<ref>{{bug|MC-83369}}</ref>

Bugs

  • Sometimes, if there is a 1-4 space between a platform, they will be trapped, but will still be able to fire at you.
  • Arrows will sometimes pass through the Ghast during server lag in SMP.
  • If spawned in the Overworld using a spawn egg in a glass cage, they will float and stare at the player, but Ghasts will sometimes unexpectedly shoot a fireball in the direction of the player even though there is a glass barrier between them and a player. This bug appears to be absent in the Nether.
  • A fireball will not disappear if in flight when switching to peaceful. However, they do disappear if the Ghast is killed when the fireball is in flight.
  • Ghasts' explosions are less "connected" to them in SMP than in SSP. For this reason in SMP mobs damaged by a Ghast's fireballs will not attempt to attack the Ghast and Ghasts that are either spawned or follow a player into the surface world (see below) can become divorced from their explosions and become an essentially peaceful mob. Similarly, Ghast explosions can sometimes follow a player into the real world, without any nearby Ghasts, but these normally only appear in the form of apparently random explosion noises not connected to actual damage causing explosions.
  • It is possible to deflect a Ghasts fireball with a fishing hook, which will cause your line to move with the deflected fireball.
  • Sometimes, attacking a Ghast may not make it attack you when you are at a range of 16 blocks or less.
  • In the Xbox 360 edition, fireballs usually just stays there and shaking violently, after being shot by ghasts, which makes it difficult to build or destroy.
  • If you get too close and touch the Ghast, it is so big that you will see yourself inside the Ghast, and the body wall and the stubs of tentacles sticking out of the bottom.
  • In SSP and SMP, after being bumped by a passive mob in the Nether (especially whilst standing in a waterless chicken farm), Ghasts have the ability to target the player through walls and shoot fireball after fireball, creating a tunnel to the player, killing the player. The Ghast continues to fire until the player respawns, which can result in anything flammable burning, chests exploding and more. Recreated twice, 20 blocks underground. Also recreated in survival single player in secure house where no entrances were in the line of sight of the Ghast in question.
  • Ghasts will not become hostile to the player in creative mode no matter how many times you hit it.
  • If the player positions the camera below the body of a Ghast, viewing only the tentacles, the Ghast is no longer visible.
  • If a Ghast comes in contact with cobweb, their AI will bug out, causing them to rapidly spin around.
  • If the "/gamerule mobGriefing" command is set to "false", ghast's projectiles will still destroy blocks.
  • If the game is set to peaceful when a Ghast launches it's fireball, the fireball will be frozen in place for a while, before it eventually despawns. It still does not move if the game is set off of peaceful.

Trivia

  • In Creative mode, if you spawn a Ghast in an area smaller than itself, it will suffocate and die.
  • Contrary to popular belief, Ghasts must spawn on at least 4x4 solid block.
  • In Creative Mode, you can go inside of a Ghast by falling through the top of it or flying up underneath it.
  • They can ride minecarts, like all other mobs.
  • Despite being fireproof, Ghasts and Zombie Pigmen are capable of drowning if under water for too long.
  • Ghasts can cause other mobs to attack it, but the Ghast will never target other mobs; it will only target the Player.
  • It is possible to kill Zombie Pigmen by deflecting Ghasts' fireballs at them. It is also possible to deal a critical hit on a fireball, since it is an entity.
  • Ghasts are the largest mob by volume - they are eight times as big as the largest variation of slime, but Ender Dragons are longer and Giants are taller.
  • It is impossible to 'ride' a Ghast as the player will fall right through it.
  • If a Ghast is trapped in a cube, it will shoot fireballs through the cube. This is because like all other things that shoot, it spawns the projectile one block in front of it.
  • Due to the explosive property of Ghast fireballs, they can be used to mine blocks in the Nether.
  • Ghasts (like all other flying mobs, including the Player in creative mode) can actually fly much higher than y-coordinate 256.
  • Some rooms in Nether fortresses are big enough for a Ghast to spawn in. However, this Ghast will likely be trapped, as there may not be an exit large enough for it to fit through.
  • A Ghast's eyes appear to be full of tears, though it is unknown why they are constantly crying/sobbing. Strangely, a Ghast only drops 1 tear at death.
  • On a Ghast, the tears are black. However when a Ghast Tear is dropped, it's white.
  • If a Ghast is killed, any fireball the Ghast has launched will disappear.
  • Their fireballs can destroy Block 97, but this would kill the Silverfish inside of the stone block instead of spawning it.
  • As of 1.4m, the only 2 ways that Ghasts can be in the Overworld are Spawn Eggs and a Ghast going through a Nether Portal.
  • If you tweak a mob spawner to spawn Ghasts, the model inside the spawner is larger than the frame.
  • When aiming with an enchanted bow (with at least power I) at full aim, it will kill a Ghast in 1 hit.
  • C418 revealed in an AMA on Reddit that the Ghast sounds are taken from his pet cat, which he makes when disturbed while sleeping.[6]
  • Despite being very large, Ghasts have less health points than most hostile mobs.
  • If the player leaves the Nether while a fireball is still flying through the sky, it will be motionless in the sky if the player returns. When hit with an arrow, it will react like normal and fly in the opposite direction from where it was hit.
  • In SSP, if a Ghast fires a fireball, and the player saves and quits to title, then switches into Peaceful mode, then reopens the world, the Ghast will disappear, but the fireball will slowly stop. The player can punch the fireball or hit it with an arrow or snowball, and it will react like normal and fly in the opposite direction from where it was hit. The player can not place blocks near the frozen fireball, because it is an entity with a hitbox, unlike items.
  • When deflected by a sword with the Looting Enchantment, a Ghast fireball will inherit the enchantment in question. If that fireball were to then kill the Ghast, the effects of looting would apply to its drops.
  • Despite being similar to ghosts, the Ghast is not an undead mob. (Tested and confirmed)
  • Ghasts are slightly bigger than the Wither,but the Wither is more agile and aggresive.
