A lever is a type of switch. Levers, like the button, pressure plate, and redstone torch, can be connected with redstone wire to be operated far away from the target block. Levers can be placed on any opaque block. Levers can be placed on walls, floors, and ceilings.

Power
Levers differ from buttons in that the charge they provide is stable - once clicked a lever will remain on or off until clicked again. Clicking a lever also causes a visual change as the shaft of the device moves from one side to the other. Their stable nature makes levers well suited to controlling devices that need to remain in one of two states for an indefinite period, such as minecart tracks or locking mechanisms in advanced circuits.
When placed on the side of blocks, up is off and down is on. On the top or bottom of blocks, on is south or west, off is north or east. Mobs cannot turn on a lever, or turn it off.

}} '''Cocoa beans''' are items obtained from cocoa pods and are used to plant them, as well as to craft [[dye|brown dye]] and [[cookie|cookies]].
'''Cocoa pods''' are [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] [[plant]]s placed on [[Log|jungle log]] sides that grow cocoa beans, and can be found naturally in [[Jungle|jungles]].
==Obtaining==
In ''Java Edition'', cocoa beans are only obtained through the natural generation of cocoa pods, while in ''Bedrock Edition'', they can also be gotten in bonus chests, from [[fishing]] inside the jungle, bamboo jungle and sparse jungle biomes and during a [[trading]] with a wandering trader.
Cocoa beans come from cocoa pods, which are found on the trunks of normal-sized naturally-generated [[jungle tree]]s in [[jungle]], [[bamboo jungle]]s and [[sparse jungle]] temperate [[biome]]s.
Cocoa pods can be mined with any item, but [[axe]]s are the quickest. Fully grown cocoa pods drop 3 cocoa beans. Using a tool enchanted with Fortune does not increase the amount of cocoa beans dropped.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Cocoa|Axe|sword=1|link=none}}
The block itself can be obtained by inventory editing or [[add-on]]s {{in|bedrock}}.
From one to two cocoa beans can be found in 40% of bonus [[chest]]s {{in|bedrock}}.
{{LootChestItem|cocoa-beans}}
Cocoa beans can be obtained from [[fishing]] in a jungle {{in|bedrock}}.
[[Wandering trader]]s may sell 3 cocoa beans for an [[emerald]] during a [[trading]] {{in|bedrock}}.
==Usage==
===Farming===
{{main|Tutorials/Cocoa bean farming}}
Placing cocoa beans on the side of a jungle [[log]] plants a new cocoa pod. The log does not need to be attached to a tree. A cocoa pod can be placed on jungle logs, jungle [[wood]], stripped jungle logs and stripped jungle wood.
[[File:Cocoaplant farm.png|thumb|left|A somewhat efficient cocoa pod farm, minimizing space and wood use.]]
Cocoa has three stages of growth. During its first stage, the pod is small and green. In the second stage, the plant is bigger and colored tan. In its last stage, the pod is even larger and orange. The cocoa block has a 20% chance to grow a stage when receiving a [[Tick#Random tick|random tick]], giving it an average time of 5 minutes and 41 seconds per stage. When destroyed in the first two stages, the pod yields only one cocoa bean. When destroyed in the third stage, it gives 3 cocoa beans. [[Bone meal]] can be used to force the cocoa pod forward by one growth stage. Cocoa pods burst and drop their beans when struck by flowing water, pushed by a piston or if their [[log]] or wood are removed by any means.
===Composting===
Placing cocoa beans into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. {{IN|bedrock}}, cocoa beans are accepted as a direct substitute of brown dye in many recipes.
===Crafting ingredient===

*Cocoa pods have a different hitbox for each size; however, the top is always 0.25 blocks below the top of the [[log]] it is on.
*If a cocoa pod grows while the player is standing next to it, the player is forced into the appropriate form of [[suffocation prevention]] depending on available space.

}}'''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.

The splash version make mobs or other players invisible. Some items are unaffected and so remain visible. These include: armor, items held in hand, arrows stuck into the player, a [[pig]]'s saddle, a [[llama]]'s carpet pattern, a [[shulker]]'s yellow head, and the glowing eyes of [[spider]]s, [[Phantom|phantoms]], and [[enderman|endermen]].

=== 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.

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

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

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}
A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>
If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.
=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}
=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.
=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.
Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.
Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.
For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].
==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.
=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.
Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.
Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.
After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}
[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]
A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.
A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.
{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.
{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.
: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}
Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.
=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.
Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}
Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.
[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).
=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.
=== Note Blocks ===
Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds.

Issues
Issues relating to "Lever" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
- The lever, along with wall mounted torches, flowing lava and water, sloped rails, tripwire hook, Spider legs, Snow Golem arms, and Villager arms are the only surfaces in Minecraft that are not either parallel or perpendicular to the ground.
- The rotation of levers placed on the top or bottom of blocks is decided randomly and not influenced by the rotation of the player.
- Anything powered by a single redstone torch, such as a powered rail block, can be powered instead with a lever. This is useful if you are low on redstone, as the materials needed for crafting levers are much more common, and renewable. This also allows easily turning the current off if need be.
- Levers can be used to provide quick, if imprecise, pulses of redstone charge, by quickly flicking them on and off. This compares to buttons, which have a built-in delay.
- Levers cannot be placed on snow, ice, or glowstone.
