Usage

Lightning rods can be oriented in different directions. Lightning rods that are the highest block in the column redirect lightning strikes within a spherical volume having a radius of 128 blocks in Java Edition and 64 blocks in Bedrock Edition. The block emits particles during thunderstorms as an indicator. If multiple lightning rods are in range, the closest to the original location of the strike is chosen.

Lightning can also strike a lightning rod hit by a trident enchanted with Channeling during a thunderstorm, even if there are solid blocks above it blocking rainfall, as long as all the blocks are fully transparent (sky light level 15 at rod position). Lightning rods do not divert the lightning created by a Channeling trident thrown at an entity, or the lightning summoned by commands.

Unlike in real life, a lightning rod doesn't require a direct connection to ground in order to work.

Lightning strikes on lightning rods cannot summon skeleton trap horses.

A lightning rod and the block it's attached to emit a redstone signal for 8 game ticks when struck by lightning.

Lightning diverted by a lightning rod can still start fires nearby (quickly extinguished on non-flammable blocks or by rain) and inflicts lightning damage on mobs within a 6×12×6 box centered 4 blocks above the bottom center of the lightning rod block (that is extending 2 below and 9 above). Adjacent blocks can ignite even if the lightning rod is mounted on a non-flammable block.

1.17 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Lava Bucket|Lava Bucket]]<br/>{{Item | title = Lava Bucket | image = Lava Bucket.png | renewable = Yes | stackable = No }} A '''lava bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[lava]]. == Obtaining == === Interacting === To fill an empty [[bucket]] with lava, {{control|use}} it on a [[lava]] source block or lava in a [[cauldron]]. The block is consumed in the process. Flowing lava does not fill a bucket. If there is a lava source above the [[pointed dripstone]] stalactite, there is a {{frac|15|256}} (~5.9%) chance for it to completely fill an empty cauldron within 10 blocks under the tip with lava after a [[random tick]]. This lava can then be scooped with a bucket, making it a renewable resource. ==Usage== A lava bucket can be used to place down lava sources with the {{key|Use Item}} button. Doing so gives the player the bucket back. Lava buckets can be used to replace some transparent, non-full blocks such as [[tall grass]] and [[water]], both flowing and sources. {{IN|java}}, lava buckets can be used to break [[Nether Portal (block)|Nether portal blocks]] by placing the lava on the side of a block next to the portal block. === Smelting === A lava bucket can be used as an efficient [[fuel]]. It has the longest burning value of 1000 seconds, compared to 800 seconds for a [[coal block]] (a lava bucket smelts 100 items, and a coal block smelts 80). After smelting starts, the lava bucket turns into an empty bucket. === Trading === {{IN|bedrock}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers buy a lava bucket for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades. {{IN|java}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy a lava bucket for one emerald. === Cauldrons === A lava bucket can be used to fill a [[cauldron]] with lava. The lava damages any entity standing inside the cauldron, unless the entity is immune to fire damage.<!-- ex: nether mobs--> Flowing water or waterlogging does not affect the lava in the cauldron. == Sounds == {{el|je}}: {{Sound table |sound=Fill lava bucket1.ogg |sound2=Fill lava bucket2.ogg |sound3=Fill lava bucket3.ogg |subtitle=Bucket fills |source=player |description=When a bucket is filled with lava |id=item.bucket.fill_lava |translationkey=subtitles.item.bucket.fill |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Empty lava bucket1.ogg |sound2=Empty lava bucket2.ogg |sound3=Empty lava bucket3.ogg |subtitle=Bucket empties |source=block |description=When a lava bucket is emptied |id=item.bucket.empty_lava |translationkey=subtitles.item.bucket.empty |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{el|be}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Fill lava bucket1.ogg |sound2=Fill lava bucket2.ogg |sound3=Fill lava bucket3.ogg |source=block |description=When a bucket is filled with lava |id=bucket.fill_lava |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |sound=Empty lava bucket1.ogg |sound2=Empty lava bucket2.ogg |sound3=Empty lava bucket3.ogg |source=block |description=When a lava bucket is emptied |id=bucket.empty_lava |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |foot=1}} ==Data values== === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Lava Bucket |spritetype=item |nameid=lava_bucket |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |showaliasids=y |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Lava Bucket |spritetype=item |nameid=lava_bucket |aliasid=bucket / 10 |id=363 |form=item |translationkey=item.bucketLava.name |foot=1}} == Achievements == {{load achievements|Super Fuel}} == Advancements == {{Load advancements|Hot Stuff}} ==History== {{History|java infdev}} {{History||20100615|[[File:Lava Bucket JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added lava buckets.}} {{History|java alpha}} {{History||v1.1.0|Buckets of lava can now be used to fuel a [[furnace]] for 100 [[smelting|smelts]], consuming the [[lava]] and the [[bucket]].

'''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. {{Sound table |sound=Bottle fill water1.ogg |sound2=Bottle fill water2.ogg |sound3=Bottle fill water3.ogg |sound4=Bottle fill water4.ogg |subtitle=Bottle fills |source=neutral |description=When an entity is collected using a bottle of void |id=item.bottle.fill |translationkey=subtitles.item.bottle.fill |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Drink.ogg |subtitle=Sipping |source=player |description=While a player is drinking a bottle of entity |id=entity.generic.drink |translationkey=subtitles.entity.generic.drink |volume=0.5 |pitch=0.9-1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Glass dig1.ogg |sound2=Glass dig2.ogg |sound3=Glass dig3.ogg |subtitle=Bottle smashes |source=neutral |description=When a splash bottle of entity impacts something <ref group=sound>This sound is played six times simultaneously</ref> |id=entity.splash_potion.break |translationkey=subtitles.entity.potion.splash |volume=1.0 |pitch=0.9-1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bottle of Entity |spritetype=item |nameid=bottle_of_entity |form=item |translationkey=item.minecraft.bottle_of_entity,item.minecraft.bottle_of_entity.specific}} {{ID table |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Splash Bottle of Entity |spritetype=item |nameid=splash_bottle_of_entity |form=item |translationkey=item.minecraft.splash_bottle_of_entity,item.minecraft.splash_bottle_of_entity.specific}} {{ID table |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bottle of Void |spritetype=item |nameid=bottle_of_void |form=item |translationkey=item.minecraft.bottle_of_void |foot=1}} == History == {{History|java}} {{History||23w13a_or_b|[[File:Bottle of Entity.png|32px]] [[File:Splash Bottle of Entity.png|32px]] [[File:Bottle of Void.png|32px]] Added bottle of entity, splash bottle of entity, and bottle of void.}} {{History|foot}} {{items}} {{Jokes}} [[ja:Bottle of Entity]] [[pt:Frasco de entidade]] [[Category:Joke items]]</li><li>[[Pottery Sherd|Pottery Sherd]]<br/>{{Item | image=Angler Pottery Sherd.png | extratext = View [[#Items|all items]] | renewable = No | stackable = Yes (64) }} <!-- IT IS SHERD, NOT SHARD!

Trivia

• According to Minecraft Live 2020, Ulraf had the idea of lightning rods when a lightning strike burned down his wooden house.
• In Minecraft Dungeons, there are lightning rod blocks as well. These generate on the roof of the Woodland Mansion Ancient Hunt to charge creepers.
• If /item replace is used to place a lightning rod on a player's head, the item appears upside-down and to the right of their head, somewhat resembling a robot's antenna.‌
