'''Cake''' is a [[food]] and a block that can be eaten by the player.

A '''cake with candle''' is a light-producing variation created when a [[candle]] is used on an uneaten cake.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

Once the cake is placed, it cannot be recollected even with the use of [[Silk Touch]]. Candle cakes always drop their respective [[candle]] when broken.

}}

=== Trading ===

Expert-level farmer [[villager]]s can [[trading|sell]] cake for a single [[emerald]] each. The chance is {{frac|2|7}} {{in|je}}.

== Usage ==

{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management}}

Unlike most [[food]], the cake cannot be eaten as an [[item]] in the hotbar. Before being eaten, it must first be placed on top of a solid [[block]]. Placing the cake on a slab also works, as the slab acts like a solid block. The cake instead floats half a block on top of the slab.

Each cake has seven "slices"; each use consumes one slice progressing inward from the west. A single slice restores {{hunger|2}} hunger and 0.4 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]]. Eating all seven slices of a cake restores {{hunger|14}} hunger and 2.8 hunger saturation.

Since eating a cake comes with no animation, the cake can be eaten at a rate of one slice per [[tick]]. Multiple [[player]]s can eat from the same cake at the same time. {{IN|java}}, eating cake makes no [[sound]], unlike other foods.

As a [[redstone]] component, when connected to a [[comparator]], a whole cake emits a signal strength of 14. The signal strength decreases two units with each slice.

Cake destroys [[Entity#Falling Blocks|falling blocks]] if placed under them, similar to a [[torch]].

=== Pandas ===
Some [[panda]]s move toward a dropped cake to pick up and eat it. Some may not, depending on the cake's location. 

=== Composting ===
Placing a cake into a [[composter]] raises the compost level by 1.

=== Piston interactivity ===
A cake is broken when pushed by a [[piston]], and it drops nothing.

=== Cakes with candles ===
[[File:Cake with Candle.png|thumb|upright|A cake with candle created by placing a candle on an uneaten cake.]]
{{control|Using}} a [[candle]] on an uneaten cake creates a candle cake of that color (including uncolored). Eating the cake causes the candle to drop. 

{{control|Using}} [[flint and steel]], [[fire charge]], or any flaming projectile on an unlit candle cake lights its candle. Lit candle cakes emit light level of 3. Clicking on the lit candle (but not the cake) extinguishes it.

== Issues ==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

=== Interaction ===

* Because cake is only {{frac|7|8}} blocks wide, it is possible to stand on the edge of a [[block]] beneath a cake.
* It is possible to place cake on top of another cake by placing a cake on the ground, then placing another cake on the side of a block above and to the side of the first cake, similar to placing [[torch]]es on a [[chest]]. Eating the lower cake causes the upper cake to disappear, as does mining out the block of cake it is sitting on.
* It is also possible to place any block on top of cakes (including another cake) by [[sneaking]] and placing the block on top of a cake.
* [[Mob]]s on top of cakes rotate while attempting to move, a pathfinding oversight shared with [[fence]]s.
* If cake is placed in a hole one block deep, players can get across the hole without jumping, although a player standing on the cake must jump to get out of the hole.
* Cake can be used to create a functioning staircase, by placing a cake on each level of a 1 block by 1 block incline. This would be one of the most labor-intensive staircases available, given the requirements to craft a cake, compared to any other method of creating a staircase. This staircase is also extremely overpowered when combined with a horse being one of the fastest forms of travel.
*At some point, it was possible to push cakes into the void using pistons.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxniEMGBXC4&t=340s</ref>

=== Miscellaneous ===
[[File:IOTY.png|thumb|100px|The 2010 Indie of the Year Awards logo.]]
* Cake was added to ''[[Minecraft]]'' following the ModDB [[2010 Indie of the Year Awards]]. [[Notch]] agreed to add cake to ''Minecraft'' if it won, which led to a campaign called "The Quest For Cake". ''Minecraft'' won 3 of the 7 awards, including the "Indie of the Year" award.
* Placing a cake makes the same sound as placing [[wool]].
* The player can place cake on top of a [[bed]], and while [[sleeping]], the cake shows on the player's screen as if it were on top of their head.
* The name of the achievement for crafting a cake is a reference to the internet meme "The Cake is a Lie", which originated from [[wikipedia:Valve Corporation|Valve Software's]] game, ''[[wikipedia:Portal (video game)#Plot|Portal]]''.
* On May 17, 2019, for the [https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/10th-anniversary 10th anniversary] of ''Minecraft'', the cake [[model]] was changed to display a "10" above it, made of [[white concrete]].
* Unlike most foods, cakes don't count towards the advancement "[[A Balanced Diet]]" {{in|java}}.<ref>{{bug|MC-117561}}</ref>

'''Items''' are "dropped" [[block]]s or [[item]]s (non-block resources) that appear in the world, rather than being in the [[inventory]] of a [[player]] or [[block entity]]; they are a type of [[entity]].

== Appearance ==

[[File:Item entities.png|150px|thumb|3D dropped items, both blocks and strict items.]]

Items have two possible appearances, generally corresponding to whether the item appears as a 3D or 2D shape in a player's inventory screens. 3D items appear as their 3D shape, miniaturized to about {{frac|1|4}} scale, while 2D items appear as {{frac|1|2}} scale with all the pixels extruded into a cube. Both types slowly rotate and bob up and down; this is merely a visual effect, the item itself does not actually rotate or bob up and down.

Item entities that represent a stack of more than one item appear as several items stuck together. Stacks of 1 appear as one item, 2-16 as two items, 17–32 as three, 33-48 as four, and 49+ as five.

The rotation rate of the item is approximately 2.87675 degrees per tick, or 57.595 degrees per second.

== Behavior ==

Item entities come from many sources. Some common ones are:
* The death of a [[mob]] or [[player]].
* A [[block]] that is mined by a player, destroyed by an [[explosion]], or washed away by [[water]].
* An inventory item tossed by pressing the drop item key (default {{key|Q}} on PC, {{xbtn|dpad-down}} on Xbox, {{nsbtn|down}}/{{nsbtn|dpad-down}} on Nintendo Switch, {{psbtn|dpad-down}} on PlayStation) or dragging a stack outside of an inventory window.
** In the mobile versions of {{el|be}}, items in the hotbar can be dropped by pressing on the item's slot. The entire stack is dropped.
* A container (other than an {{BlockLink|ender chest}} or a {{BlockLink|shulker box}}) that is destroyed while holding items inside.

The player may be thought of as having an "item pickup" box that surrounds their hitbox. This pickup box extends 1 additional block to the horizontal sides, and 0.5 additional blocks up and down. Any item whose hitbox intersects with the pickup box can be picked up. The pickup box is inclusive on the horizontal sides (distance less than or equal to 1 will count), and exclusive on the vertical sides (distance less than 0.5 will count, but not equal). When the player's hitbox size changes, such as when crouching{{only|java}} or sleeping, the pickup box size changes with it.

Once an item entity's hitbox overlaps with the player's pickup box, it can transfer its items. As many items as can fit in the player inventory, excluding the armor slots and the [[dual wield|off-hand slot]], are transferred. If any item is transferred, [[Item (entity)#Sounds|a "plopping" sound]] is played. If all items are transferred, the items appear to move into the center of the player. The item entity never physically moves, however, which means it can appear to go through lava and blocks in its path. This can happen through blocks that are thinner than a full block, but also through the shared edge of two full blocks. Unlike [[experience orb]]s, multiple item entities can be picked up simultaneously. Dropped items have a delay of 10 [[tick]]s (half a second) between appearing and being able to be picked up, or 40 ticks (2 seconds) if thrown by a player, [[dolphin]], or [[fox]].

When two stackable items of the same type come within 3/4 of a block of each other, they merge into a single stack if the resulting stack size does not exceed that item's maximum stack size.

Items do not collide with other entities(except boats) and are only moved or stopped by blocks.

Like other entities, items can be pushed by flowing water and [[bubble column]]s, pushed by a [[piston]], launched by a moving [[slime block]], stuck to a [[honey block]], or caught in a [[cobweb]]. Items move at faster speeds if [[ice]] is placed under the flowing water. When in still water, items float slowly up to the surface.

Items can be reared by [[fishing rod]]s, costing 3 [[durability]].{{only|je}}

If an item is within a [[solid block]], then it flies out one of the unobstructed sides, or out of the top of the block if surrounded by solid blocks on all sides. It does this even if the space below is unoccupied; therefore, it is possible to recover an item dropped by breaking a hole in a floor by quickly placing another block there.

Items visually disappear when the player is about 16 blocks away from them, and reappear when they get closer. This distance can be adjusted by the "Entity Distance" slider in [[Options#Video Settings|video settings]].

Unlike most entities, items cannot be spectated in [[Spectator]] mode without use of the {{cmd|spectate}} command.

=== Damage ===
Items cannot be attacked by players or mobs; attempting to do so simply hits through them. However, they take damage and disappear from environmental or block-based damage such as [[explosion]]s, [[fire]], [[lava]], and contact with [[cactus|cacti]]. Items have essentially no health, so they are destroyed by the slightest damage, though if set on fire they may remain for a few seconds before disappearing. [[Nether star]]s are immune to explosions, and [[netherite]]-based items and tools are immune to fire and float on top of lava. Also, some blocks that normally damage mobs, such as [[magma block]]s, [[campfire]]s, [[Sweet Berries|sweet berry bushes]], [[flower|wither rose]]s and [[powder snow]], do not damage items.

=== Despawning ===

Items despawn after 6000 game [[tick]]s (5 minutes) of being in a loaded, entity-ticking [[chunk]]; this is affected by the player's [[simulation distance]]. If two item stacks merge, the timer is set to the item that has more time remaining. The 5-minute timer is paused when the chunk is unloaded or no longer processing entities. Nether stars do not despawn{{only|bedrock}}.

Items that fall into the [[void]] immediately despawn when they fall below Y=-128 in the [[Overworld]], or Y=-64 in [[the Nether]] and [[the End]].

== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Item Entities use the Ambient/Environment sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
