Hal is a hero in Minecraft Dungeons and one of the four main heroes of the game. His friends are Valorie, Hex and Adriene. He is the only male among the main four. He appears in all DLC banners except for the Flames of the Nether and the Hidden Depths banner.

Lore[]

Hal appears in the Minecraft Dungeons novel, The Rise of the Arch-Illager, nicknamed "Stache" (hence his facial hair) by Karl, since Karl forgets and doesn't care about his name, even though Hal constantly corrects him. Hal intervenes when Karl plans to attack the Arch-Illager. On the cover of the book, he can be seen wearing the Evocation Robe and holding a Lightning Rod.

Appearance[]

Hal’s most notable physical trait is his brown mustache. He also has brown hair and a light skin tone in addition to green eyes. He wears a red tunic and a brown belt with a gold buckle as well as also wearing brown gloves and brown boots.

Occurrences[]

In the Official Dungeons Banner, he is seen wearing the Hero's Armor and wielding a Crossbow, in the Jungle Awakens, he is seen wearing the Shadow Walker in the Creeping Winter Banner, he is seen wearing Snow Armor and holding the Winter's Touch, in the Howling Peaks Banner, he is seen wearing Goat Gear and holding the Burst Gust Bow and in the Echoing Void Banner, he is seen wearing the Troubadour and holding the Call of the Void.

The '''debug stick''' is an [[item]] used to edit the [[block states]] of [[block]]s. It is visually identical to a regular [[stick]], but with a glint (as if [[Enchanting|enchanted]]).

== Obtaining ==

The debug stick is obtainable via [[commands]] such as {{cmd|/give}} or {{Cmd|/item}}, or the Creative inventory if the player has the appropriate permissions. It can be obtained only in worlds with cheats on.

== Usage ==

The debug stick can be used to change block states. {{control|Hitting}} the block allows players to select the block state key they wish to change, for an example, switching between the ''conditional'' and the ''facing'' block state keys for a [[command block]]. {{control|Using}} the block allows them to cycle through the valid values for the block state key, again as an example, the player can make the command block face, ''down'', ''east'', ''north'', ''south'', ''up'', or ''west'' if they chose the ''facing'' block state key. {{control|Sneaking}} while {{control|hitting}} or {{control|using}} cycles through the block state keys or values in reverse order.

It is notable that {{Control|using}} debug stick directly on an interactive block without {{Control|sneaking}} uses the block itself instead of the stick.<ref>{{bug|MC-200199}} </ref>

The debug stick cannot be used while in Survival or Adventure mode. It works only in creative mode with cheats enabled. In modes other than Creative, it acts like a regular item — although when {{control|using}} it on a block, the player swings the stick as if interacting with it (but nothing happens).
