This article is about the invisible light-producing block. For light producing blocks in general, see Light § Light level.
Crafting Table
This article describes content that may be included in a future update. 
This content has appeared in development versions, but the full update containing it has not been released yet.

Light blocks are invisible blocks, primarily intended for map makers, that can produce any light level.

Obtaining

Light blocks cannot be mined or targeted, similar to air. Light Blocks with light level 0 are functionally identical to air. They do not attach to any block, meaning that breaking an adjacent block does not remove the light block. However, they can be broken by replacing them with another block. The exception is water (including flowing water) which can occupy the same space as a light block. See this page for details.

Light blocks are not in the player's creative inventory. They can only be obtained using /give, with any data value from 0 to 15. This value determines the block's light level. example: /give @p {BlockStateTag:{level:1}}

Usage

A light block is normally used in adventure maps (while most just apply Night Vision or Conduit Power effects). This is also used by teachers to light up assignments.

Each light block (as a block or as an item) has an associated light level, which can be anything from 0 to 15. In the player's inventory, light blocks display their light level in the top-left corner and appear "brighter" at higher light levels.

When placed as blocks, light blocks are non-solid and completely invisible. Unlike barriers and structure void, they do not reappear when the player is holding another light block.

Light blocks can be pushed and pulled by pistons, are detected by observers, and can be waterlogged.

Light Source

Light blocks produce their associated light level.

An '''end crystal''' is an [[entity]] that can be [[Crafting|crafted]] or found on [[the End]]'s main island, where it heals the [[Ender Dragon|ender dragon]]. It can only be placed on [[obsidian]] or [[bedrock]] and [[Explosion|explodes]] instantly when attacked or damaged in most ways.

== Spawning ==

=== Natural generation ===

An end crystal is found atop each [[obsidian pillar]] on the central island of the End, each on top of a piece of [[bedrock]]. There are 10 end crystals in total, of which two are protected in "cages" of [[iron bars]]. All end crystals respawn one after another as the respawning process of the [[ender dragon]] starts.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

  |Output= End Crystal
  |type= Decoration block
}}

== Usage ==

=== Healing the ender dragon ===

Their primary purpose is to recharge the health of the ender dragon, who gains a charge from the nearest crystal within a cuboid extending 32 blocks from the dragon in all directions. The dragon is healed {{hp|1}} each half-second. If multiple ender dragons are spawned, an end crystal can affect multiple dragons at the same time. The healing beam is neither obstructed nor is its power diminished by entities or blocks.

=== Respawning the ender dragon ===
[[File:End Crystals on the Exit portal.png|right|thumb|How to arrange end crystals on the exit portal to respawn the ender dragon.]]

As items, end crystals may be placed on bedrock and [[obsidian]], if the two blocks above the bedrock or obsidian block are air or replaceable blocks and no other entities intersect the area. When an end crystal is placed in [[the End]], a [[fire]] block is created at the end crystal location. If four are placed on the end [[exit portal]], one on each of the flat sides, the crystals respawn the original end crystals on the obsidian pillars, as well as resurrect the dragon itself, before exploding. The top of each pillar also explodes, destroying any player-placed blocks. This happens even if TNT explosions are turned off in settings.

If the exit portal is ever broken for any reason, end crystals can still be placed on obsidian blocks with the same location as the exit portal.

=== Explosions ===

End crystals explode when attacked or damaged in most ways, even by attacks that normally do zero damage. They are not affected by exploding fireworks, and if damaged by an explosion, they disappear instead of exploding.{{Only|Java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-118429||End crystals don't explode when destroyed by nearby explosions}}</ref> The end crystal's [[explosion]] has an [[Explosion#Explosion strength|explosion strength]] of 6, the same as a [[charged creeper]]. The end crystal's fire often remains after the crystal explodes. Any ender dragon charging from the crystal when it is destroyed takes {{hp|10}} damage.

{{IN|java}}, an end crystal's explosion can be [[blocking|blocked]] by a [[shield]].

Although an ender dragon damages most blocks and entities in its path, it cannot destroy end crystals simply by going near them.

Placing [[water]] on the end crystal will neutralize the blast effect, but not the [[damage]] or knockback.

End crystals with obsidian or bedrock below them will not damage blocks below them when they explode.

{{IN|bedrock}}, having the game rule {{cd|mobGriefing}} to {{cd|false}} will prevent the End Crystal from destroying any blocks. While {{in|java}} the same game rule will not prevent the End Crystal from destroying any blocks.

=== Beams ===
The end crystal naturally shoots a beam at the ender dragon and heals it when the dragon is within range. This beam can be manually created using the command {{cmd|data merge entity @e[type{{=}}end_crystal,limit{{=}}1] {BeamTarget:{X:0, Y:0, Z:0<nowiki>}}}}. The beam can be pointed in any direction, allowing it to mark locations or objects.

=== Properties ===
[[File:End Crystal (Slateless).gif|thumb|A base-less end crystal.]]  

End crystals are of two kinds: the ones with a base beneath them are created either by game mechanism or by the {{cmd|summon}} command; while the base-less ones are created by players by manually placing the crystal items on top of [[obsidian]] or [[bedrock]].

The base appears to be made of bedrock, with a crystal hovering over it. While in the End, a crystal continually generates fire at its current position, one block above the base (directly on top of the block the base is embedded in), replacing any other block at that location. This fire is capable of spreading.

The end crystal entity is not solid and can be walked through freely. End crystals can be pushed by [[piston]]s, but they explode if moved while on fire. Because fire is checked only when an entity moves, end crystals do not normally take damage from their own fire unless moved.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* According to [[Jens Bergensten|Jeb]], the reason behind the current crafting recipe using glass as opposed to [[Chorus Fruit|chorus fruit]] or any materials introduced in [[Java Edition 1.9|1.9]] is as a means for players to craft end crystals in older worlds that the dragon has already been killed in.<ref>{{tweet|jeb_|667000226524372992|The problem is that you need to be able to craft the crystals on worlds in which the dragon has been destroyed already|November 18, 2015}}</ref>
* A historical rendition of the [[beacon]] block featured an animated entity within it, which resembled a yellow miniaturized end crystal. The bedrock platform of the end crystal entity would also render below the beacon, though this would normally be hidden within the block below.
* Using a [[piston]] to push an end crystal's fire into an end portal block deletes the end portal block. However, natural portal blocks regenerate if the end crystal is moved.

'''Mushroom stew''' is a [[food]] item.

== Obtaining ==
=== Harvesting ===
Mushroom stew can be obtained by “milking” a [[mooshroom]] with an empty [[bowl]]. This is accomplished by {{Control|using}} a bowl on a mooshroom. The bowl gets replaced by the mushroom stew item. There is no cooldown for doing so.

If a stack of more than one bowl is used on a mooshroom, only one bowl is consumed, and the mushroom stew goes into an empty inventory slot, or is dropped if the player's inventory is full.

== Usage ==

To eat mushroom stew, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|6}} [[hunger]] and 7.2 hunger 
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

The bowl is returned to the player empty after the mushroom stew has been eaten, and can be reused to craft more, similarly to [[Rabbit Stew|rabbit stew]] and [[Beetroot Soup|beetroot soup]].

'''Dyes''' are a set of sixteen items used to change the color of [[wool]], [[carpet]]s, [[terracotta]], [[concrete powder]], [[glass]], [[shulker box]]es, [[bed]]s, [[candle]]s, the patterns on [[banner]]s, [[firework star]]s, certain mobs, and text on [[sign]]s and [[hanging sign]]s. {{IN|bedrock}} they can also be used to dye water in a [[cauldron]] (which is thereafter used to dye leather [[armor]]); {{in|java}} leather armor can be dyed directly. {{IN|education}} dyes can also be used to dye [[balloon]]s and [[glow stick]]s.

{{IN|bedrock|education}}, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa bean]]s can generally substitute for [[white dye]], [[black dye]], [[blue dye]], and [[brown dye]], respectively, in crafting recipes and for use in dyeing items or mobs. However, they have other important uses that aren't related to color, and are therefore not considered true dyes. They are mentioned in this article only in regard to their use as dyeing agents; see their individual articles for complete information about them.

[[File:Dye Recipes.png|400px|thumb|A guide for creating all the dyes]]

== Obtaining ==
<!--[[File:Dye Chart.png|350px|thumb|A guide to crafting all the dyes.{{until|java 1.14}}]]-->

Dyes can be produced by crafting them from plants (mainly flowers), by crafting dyes of different colors together, by smelting plants, or by trading with a [[wandering trader]].

{{loadPage|Crafting/Dye|Crafting|h3}}

=== Smelting ===
{{smelting|head=1|Sea Pickle|Lime Dye|0,2}}
{{smelting|foot=1|Cactus|Green Dye|1|}}

=== Trading ===

[[Wandering trader]]s can sell 3 dyes for an [[emerald]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can also sell 3 lapis lazuli, bone meal, cocoa beans, or ink sacs for one emerald.

Apprentice-level cleric [[villager]]s sell one lapis lazuli per emerald.

=== Chest loot ===

{{#invoke:LootChest|base3|blue-dye,green-dye,orange-dye,light-blue-dye,yellow-dye,white-dye}}

=== Other ===

Ink sacs can also be created using 1 iron, 1 sulfur, and 4 oxygen in the [[compound creator]]. {{only|bedrock|education}}

== Usage ==

Similar to their use in crafting, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa beans]] can be substituted for the corresponding dye in any of the following usages unless otherwise specified.{{only|bedrock}} <!--- sections are ordered by craftable dyeable blocks, dyeable items, version exclusive sections, and non-crafting miscellaneous uses--->

=== Dyeing wool and mobs ===

Players can dye wool by placing [[wool]] and any dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting
|nocat=1
|Any Wool
|Matching Dye
|Output=Any Wool
}}

Dyes can be {{control|use|text=used}} on sheep to change the color of the wool. Shearing a colored sheep drops the corresponding color of the wool, and the sheep retains the color when the wool regenerates. [[Breeding]] colored sheep produces a lamb colored as one of the parent sheep, or a color resulting from the combination of both parents' color. The color combining follows the same rules that dyes use – red and yellow sheep produce an orange lamb, but a blue and yellow sheep cannot create a green lamb. The unlimited reproduction of colored sheep makes dyeing and shearing sheep infinitely more efficient than just dyeing wool directly.
 
Dye can also be used on a tamed [[wolf]] or [[cat]] to change the color of its collar from the default red to the color of the dye.

=== Dyeing carpets ===

Carpets can be dyed.

{{Crafting
 |Any Carpet

=== Dyeing terracotta ===

[[Terracotta]] can be dyed by placing 8 blocks around a dye on a crafting table.

|A3=Terracotta |B3=Terracotta |C3=Terracotta
|Output=Matching Dyed Terracotta,8
}}

=== Creating concrete powder ===

Dyes can also be used to craft [[concrete powder]], which can then be set into their respective [[concrete]] blocks (they cannot be dyed directly).

=== Staining glass ===

[[Stained glass]] can be stained by placing 8 blocks of glass around a dye on a [[crafting table]]. Just like regular glass, stained glass can be crafted into stained glass panes. The recipe for this is the same as with regular glass.

=== Dyeing shulker boxes ===

[[Shulker box]]es are generated in a light shade of purple (like the [[purpur block]]), but can be dyed any color. They can also be re-dyed as often as desired.

{{Crafting

=== Dyeing beds ===

Players can dye beds by placing a [[bed]] and any color dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting
|nocat=1
|Any Bed

|Output=Matching Bed
}}

=== Dyeing candles ===

Players can dye [[candles]] by placing an undyed candle and any color dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting
|ignoreusage=1
|Candle
|Matching Dye
|Output=Matching Dyed Candle
}}

=== Banner patterns ===
{{main|Banner#Patterns}}

Dyes are used in most banner patterns to determine the pattern and color displayed.

=== Dyeing armor ===

[[File:DyeGraph2.png|200px|thumb|A graph showing all combinations of two dyes on a [[tunic]].]]

Leather [[armor]] can be dyed by:
* Crafting dyes with a piece of leather armor or leather [[horse armor]].{{Only|java}}
* Dousing the leather armor or leather [[horse armor]] in a [[cauldron]] to which dyes have been added.{{Only|bedrock}}

There are 5,713,438<ref>https://anrar4.github.io/DyeLeatherArmor/</ref> (34.1% of sRGB) colors leather armor can be, as it is possible to put more than one dye on the crafting bench alongside the leather armor. Armor can be dyed multiple times with previous colors affecting the final outcome. Colored armor can be reverted to their original color using a [[cauldron]] with undyed water.

The game has a specific formula for calculating the color of dyed armor: each color, in the RGB color model, has a red value, green value, and blue value. For each dye in the crafting grid, and the armor itself (if it is already dyed), the red, green, and blue values are added to running totals. In addition, a running total of the highest value (be it red, green, or blue) is also kept. After this, each total is divided by the number of colors used. This effectively produces the average red, green, blue, and maximum values. The maximum value of the average RGB values is also calculated. Finally, each average RGB value is multiplied by the average maximum value and divided by the maximum of the average RGB values. The modified average RGB values are then used as the final color. This procedure can be summed up with the following equations:
 for each color (all "total" variables start at 0 before counting):
  totalRed = totalRed + redValue
  totalGreen = totalGreen + greenValue
  totalBlue = totalBlue + blueValue
  totalMaximum = totalMaximum + max(redValue, greenValue, blueValue)
  numberOfColors = numberOfColors + 1
 
 averageRed = totalRed / numberOfColors
 averageGreen = totalGreen / numberOfColors
 averageBlue = totalBlue / numberOfColors
 averageMaximum = totalMaximum / numberOfColors
 
 maximumOfAverage = max(averageRed, averageGreen, averageBlue)
 gainFactor = averageMaximum / maximumOfAverage
 
 resultRed = averageRed * gainFactor
 resultGreen = averageGreen * gainFactor
 resultBlue = averageBlue * gainFactor

Due to the way this formula works, the resulting color can never be darker than the average of the input colors and is often lighter and more saturated. Of course, the resulting color can never be lighter or more saturated than the lightest or most saturated input color. In addition, this formula never creates an RGB value higher than 255 (which would be invalid in the 8-bit RGB color model).

If leather armor is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when dyed or undyed.

=== Dyeing firework stars ===

A [[firework star]] can have a single color or a combination of up to eight colors when crafted with dyes. Adding one or more dyes to a crafted firework star adds a "fade to color" effect to it, overwriting any existing fade colors.

=== Dyeing water inside cauldrons ===
Water can be dyed in a cauldron by holding any dye in the hand and pressing {{Ctrl|use}} on a cauldron filled with water.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Signs ===
Dye can be {{control|used}} on a [[sign]] or a [[hanging sign]] to change the text color. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[ink sac]]s cannot be used for this purpose; black dye must be used to change the text to black.

=== Trading ===
Apprentice, journeyman and expert-level shepherd [[villager]]s buy any of the 12 dyes for an [[emerald]].

== Color values ==
The "color codes" are used to determine the color imparted on sheep, wolf and cat collars, firework stars, [[beacon]] beams, and dyed leather armor. The hex value is shown in the extended tooltips of dyed leather armor; however, to set the color using an NBT data tag in a [[command]], the decimal value must be used instead. The color values for firework stars are slightly different from the ones listed below, and use [[Item colors#Firework stars|these values]] instead.

== Trivia ==
* Players can obtain each one of every color with 1 cocoa bean, 2 yellow dye, 2 ink sac, 3 green dye, 4 lapis lazuli, 4 red dye, and 6 bone meal (2 bones).
* The dyed sheep breeding behavior mirrors [[wikipedia:Lamarckism|Lamarck's theory]], in which the organisms evolve inheriting the external changes and adaptations of the previous generation, transmitting them to their offspring.
* In ''Bedrock Edition'', tertiary colors, along with their regular crafting recipes, can be crafted with primary colors. E.g.: Magenta can be crafted with one rose red and two bone meals.
* The colors of the dyes match the chat colors in [[color codes]] except for brown (dye only), light aqua, and gold (color codes only).
* The texture for light blue dye still uses the color from prior to the 1.12 World of Color update.<ref name="unchanged dyes"></ref>
