A lodestone is a block that can be used to alter the point where compasses lead. It can be used in all three dimensions.

Obtaining

Breaking

Lodestone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself. If mined without a pickaxe, then the mining is slower and it drops nothing.

Usage

Lodestones cannot be pushed by pistons; however, they can be destroyed by the ender dragon.

Lodestone Compass

Using a compass on a lodestone causes the compass to point to the lodestone, indicated by an enchantment glint effect on the compass. This works even in the End and the Nether. If the lodestone is broken, or in a different dimension than the compass, the compass will spin randomly, as ordinary compasses in the End and Nether do. If the lodestone is destroyed while a paired compass is in a chest, shulker box, barrel, furnace, blast furnace, smoker, item frame, armor stand, or any other storage item, the compass does not register that the lodestone is destroyed until the item is retrieved. Placing a lodestone back in the exact block as the original lodestone while the compass is still in a container prevents unpairing.

'''Honeycombs''' are items obtained from [[bee nest]]s and beehives.

== Obtaining ==
{{See also|Tutorials/Honey farming}}
When a bee nest or beehive at {{cd|honey_level}} 5 is [[shear]]ed, it drops 3 honeycombs and angers any bees inside, causing them to attack. Having a lit [[campfire]] or lighting a fire underneath the nest or hive prevents the bees from becoming hostile.

A [[dispenser]] with shears inside can be used to shear the nest without angering the bees. The honeycomb pops out as a dropped item.

== Usage ==

=== Signs ===

{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[sign]] or a hanging sign prevents the sign from being edited.

=== Waxing ===
{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[block of copper]] changes the block into its waxed variant, preventing oxidation of the copper.

==== Skeletons and Strays ====

[[Skeleton]]s and [[stray]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping a normal or enchanted bow on death when killed by a [[player]] or a tamed [[wolf]]. 

The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. 

The chance of being enchanted depends on the [[difficulty]], whether it is normal or hard. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5-22. 

Bows of [[skeleton trap]]s are always enchanted at level 5 to 23. The exact level depends on [[regional difficulty]], as on Easy it is always a level-5 enchantment.

==== Illusioners ====
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}

[[Illusioner]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping an unenchanted bow when killed by the player. The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of Looting, allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. 

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level fletcher [[villager]]s sell bows for 2 [[emerald]]s as part of their [[trading|trade]]s.

Expert-level fletcher villagers sell enchanted bows for 7–21 emeralds as part of their trades. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5–19.

=== Fishing ===

Bows have a chance of being caught by [[fishing]]. When caught, the bow may be damaged and contain random [[enchantment]]s equivalent to a level 30 enchantment from an [[enchanting table]], including treasure enchantments like [[Mending]].

== Usage ==

=== Weapon ===
[[File:Steve aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]]
[[File:Alex aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]]

Bows can be drawn back by {{control|using}} them. In order to use a bow, the player must have at least one [[arrow]] in their [[inventory]] or be in [[Creative]] mode. The arrow that is shown inside the bow always looks like a regular arrow, regardless of what kind of arrow is actually being shot from the bow.<ref>{{bug|MC-87685||Drawn bow texture does not reflect arrow that will be shot|WF}}</ref>

When drawing a bow, the display zooms in slightly. Charging the bow to its maximum causes it to visually shake as an indicator. Releasing the button shoots an [[arrow]]. Drawing a bow can be canceled by switching to another hotbar slot while holding use.

While the bow is being charged or remains fully charged, the player is forced to move at [[sneaking]] speed, unless they are riding a [[horse]], [[minecart]] or [[boat]], or flying with [[elytra]]. It is not possible to [[Sprinting|sprint]] while charging a bow or holding a drawn bow. When the bow is released, normal motion resumes although any prior sprint is cancelled. Sneaking while drawing the bow makes the player move even slower.

If an arrow hits another player, the player that shoots the arrow hears a high-pitched "ding" sound.{{only|je}}

Fully charged shots launch critical arrows which have a trail of [[particles]] behind them and deal up to <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math>damage, where <math>x</math>is the damage after any enchantments. The listed values below describe maximum damage from a bow with no [[Power]] enchantments, assuming the target is at a distance where drag and gravity are negligible. However, the critical damage is likely to be more around 8-10; critical damage is added at a random value between <math>x</math>and <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math> and it is rare to have minimum or maximum values. The damage dealt can ultimately be less than the maximum damage if the arrow slows down after being shot. 

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Shot base damage by changing time"
|-
! Charging time
! Maximum attack damage
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.1 s'''}} (no charge)

|{{hp|6}}
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''1+ s'''}} (critical)
|{{hp|11}}
|-
|}

The game stores the damage of arrows even in values with a decimal point. For example, it is possible for a critical arrow shot to cause damage values such as 6.4. In this cases of a broken value, the game can round up or down and store the amount for subsequent damage sources.

Any projectile thrown by the player is under the influence of momentum in current versions of ''Minecraft''. Naturally, the player's movement speed can be modified under a number of circumstances, affecting the ballistic trajectory of projectiles, and as a result, the damage inflicted by arrows.

In [[Java Edition Combat Tests]], to avoid sniping, arrows shot from fully-charged bows become non-critical if held drawn back for longer than three seconds. Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are scaled by 1/8, just like the duration of other effects. For example, Instant Damage I arrow will deal an additional {{hp|0.75}} magical damage.

Damage caused by the arrow is not affected by the [[Strength]] effect.

[[Endermen]] cannot be shot using an arrow, because the arrow either disappears as the enderman teleports, or it gets deflected. Even while immobile, the enderman is immune to damage from arrows. However, an arrow shot from a bow enchanted with [[Flame]] can ignite the enderman.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Bow, Damaged Bow}}

=== Enchantments ===

Bows can receive several different [[enchantment]]s and have a base enchantability of 1. Bow enchantments have no effect on [[arrow]] speed or the distance it travels. In [[Bedrock Edition]], if a bow is enchanted with any level 1 enchantment, it always gets Power I.{{verify|This used to be in the trivia section. Not valid in Java Edition.}}

{{Reflist|group=n}}

=== Fuel ===

A bow can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per bow {{in|java}} or 1 item per bow {{in|bedrock}}.

== Arrows ==

{{main|Arrow}}

As in real life, a flying [[arrow]] in ''Minecraft'' is affected by gravity. Its vertical speed is modified by one block downward every second, resulting in a {{w|Parabola|parabolic}} flight path. An arrow slows down if shot through water, reducing its damage to near zero unless brought back into the air or otherwise given momentum.{{Only|Java}}

Arrows that hit solid [[blocks]] become stuck and can be retrieved, unless the arrow was shot by a bow [[enchant]]ed with [[Infinity]], a player in Creative mode, or a mob.

An arrow shot through [[lava]] ignites, giving it the effect of the [[Flame]] enchantment, igniting any entity it hits. If not extinguished, the fire inflicts up to {{hp|4}} damage. Although a [[wither skeleton]] does not spawn naturally with bows, if it holds a bow then it also shoots flaming arrows.

On impact, an arrow can trigger a wooden [[pressure plate]], [[target]] block, [[wooden button]], or [[tripwire]]. Arrows cannot trigger stone pressure plates or stone buttons.

The player can choose the type of arrow to shoot based on its location in the inventory. Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected hotbar slot if the bow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot then the arrow closest to [[Inventory#Slots|slot 0]] is selected.

'''Rotten flesh''' is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]], with high risk of inflicting [[Hunger (status effect)|Hunger]] and low [[Saturation]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Zombies ====
[[Zombie]]s, [[zombie villager]]s, [[zombie horse]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[drowned]] drop from 0 to 2 units of rotten flesh. [[Looting]] can increase this by one per level, for a maximum of 5 rotten flesh.

==== Zoglins ====
[[Zoglin]]s drop 1-3. Looting III grants a maximum of 6.

==== Zombified piglins ====
[[Zombified Piglin|Zombified piglins]] drop 0-1. Looting III grants a maximum of 4.

=== Fishing ===
Rotten flesh can be obtained as a "junk" item while [[fishing]].

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|rotten-flesh}}

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a rotten flesh.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management}}

To eat rotten flesh, press and hold {{control|use}} while rotten flesh is selected in the hotbar.

Eating rotten flesh restores {{hunger|4}} [[hunger]] and 0.8 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]], but has an 80% chance of inflicting {{EffectLink|Hunger (effect)|id=Hunger}} for 30 seconds. Note that the duration does ''not'' accumulate when eating multiple pieces. However, if more is consumed and the [[Hunger (effect)|Hunger]] status effect is inflicted, the duration resets to 30 seconds.

=== Wolves ===
Rotten flesh can be used to [[breed]] and heal tamed [[wolves]], lead them around, and make baby tamed wolves grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

Wolves are immune to the Hunger effect.

=== Trading ===
Novice-level [[Trading#Cleric|cleric villagers]] buy 32 rotten flesh for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trades.
