This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. 

Template:Infobox The Minecraft launcher is the login and downloader front-end to the stand-alone client. It is responsible for downloading the main Java packages, including minecraft.jar, which holds the code and resources of the game such as textures, and LWJGL. It also acts somewhat like a basic and easily bypassable copy-restriction by forcing the user to login to a paid account when running for the first time. It is possible to use the launcher to run versions of Minecraft from nearly any era, however some versions are still not included on the launcher, such as Indev, Minecraft 2.0 and any of the Beta 1.9 pre-releases. The current launcher is the sixth launcher for Minecraft, and the second that was built to automatically update itself.

Launch

2016LauncherLogin

The login screen for launchers without previously logged-in users.

Every time the launcher is executed, it checks a specific directory where Minecraft stores its files called .minecraft. It checks a file called "launcher_profiles.json" for login credentials. If the file does not exist, is corrupt, or no user is logged in, the user must login with a valid premium account, otherwise the user will be directed to play the Demo version or purchase the game.

When logging in, the launcher will first try to verify the login. If a valid "launcher_profiles.json" file exists but there is no Internet connection, the launcher will offer a "Play offline" mode if a player was logged in when it was last closed. If the connection is successful, the launcher will then, depending on profile options, compare the latest version in the latest "versions" directory to the latest version reported by the server. If the selected version does not exist or the latest installed version is outdated when "Use latest version" is selected in the profile, the launcher will download all Minecraft components and Java binary files. It will also synchronize everything in the Assets folder (see Resource pack).

Finally, upon a successful update or installation, the launcher will execute the Minecraft jar (via "javaw.exe", Oracle's Java Virtual Machine executable.) It is possible however for there to be missing ".jar" files, in which case the launcher will attempt to replace the missing files automatically but will stop if there is no connection.

Currently, the Minecraft launcher supports 57 languages.

Features

Launcher

  • Manage multiple profiles (stored in "launcher_profiles.json"). Each profile can control:
    • Game version. Includes access to outdated development builds and previous releases. You can also add older/custom versions manually.[1]
    • Mojang account used to play the game
    • Command line arguments for Java (such as heap size)
    • Game Directory (where the game files are saved on disk)
    • Edit profile pictures or custom made ones
  • The launcher doesn't store your password locally. Instead of this, it uses a 'refresh token'
  • The launcher supports multiple instances (as the game also does)
  • Automatic updates for launcher
  • Ability to update libraries, such as LWJGL
  • Offline mode. (The first time launch requires an Internet connection to download required resources)
  • 57 Languages avaliable
  • Crashes can be reported to Mojang, through Hopper
  • Crashes are indexed through a database for information on how to fix the issue
  • Launcher Settings
  • Switching Accounts or logging off
  • Changing Skins
  • Downloads servers on versions
  • Help button
  • Shows you the launcher version information when you click the launcher version

Time Machine

HowtoOldVersion2016

A profile with Alpha and Beta versions enabled

The Minecraft launcher has the ability to play old Alpha and Beta versions of the game. Currently, snapshots, Alpha, Beta, and all Release versions are available to play. Four Pre-classic versions, four Classic versions, and one Infdev version are already added under the names "old-alpha version".[2] No Indev versions are currently available from the launcher.

To enable the old versions either click the "Launch Options" then turn the "Historical Versions" on then open your profile or make a new one, next select any of Alpha/Beta versions on the Version box then click "Save" button.

However, these versions are very out of date and may be unstable. Any bugs, glitches, missing features, or crashes that result from instability will never be resolved as only later versions are supported. Mojang strongly recommends that you play them in separate directories than your other saves to avoid corruption.[3]

Skins

ChangingSkinLauncher

Skin options in the launcher

You can change or add your custom skin within the Minecraft launcher. To change or add your skin click the "Skins" button, then click the "Browse" button to navigate through your file system for your skin file. The file must have a resolution of 64×64 in order for the launcher to accept it as a skin file. Additionally, the skin file must be in a .png format. After you have found the skin file, click the "Save" button to confirm your in-game skin.

  • You can reset your skin to the Steve or Alex defaults by clicking "Click to reset".
  • You can choose between player models - either Classic (Steve) or Slim (Alex).

If the game is running when the user enters this menu, a warning appears at the bottom of the launcher: Minecraft is currently running. Skin changes may not take effect until the game is next started.

Profiles

When you open the launcher for first time, it creates a profile that selects the latest version of Minecraft - it cannot be removed.

However, you may create a game profile of your own in the launcher. Click on the "Launch Options" button, then click "Add New" to create one. After this, name your profile as you want it. If you leave it, it will be named "Unnamed Configuration". Then, optionally, select a profile picture from the launcher or a custom one. However, it must be a 128×128 .png picture. Select the version you wish to play, and click "Save" to confirm your profile. If you want to edit a profile, just click it. The same applies if you wish to delete a profile. Simply click the profile you want to delete and then click the "Delete [X]" button to remove it.

  • File:2016LauncherProfileSettings.png

    Profile settings in the launcher

    You can download server versions by clicking "Download Server".
  • If you want to resize the game, turn "Resolution" on to change the game window size.
  • You can turn "Advanced Settings" on to show more profile options.
  • If you want to change the .minecraft file path, turn the on the "Game directory" option. Now, navigate to the folder where you wish to relocate the .minecraft folder. You can also open the Minecraft profile by clicking the green arrow-shaped "Go to folder" button.
  • If you turned "Snapshot Versions" on, it creates a "Latest Snapshot" profile automatically.
  • You can manually set a logging configuration (see the Debugging article on wiki.vg for more info)

Command Line usage

As of 2.0.1003, the launcher has 9 command-line options available:

  • --clean - This option deletes the game and runtime folders, including their contents, from the working directory.
  • --launcherui
  • --workDir - This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), will change the location (and/or name) of the .minecraft folder.
  • --nativeLauncherVersion
  • --tmpDir - This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), will change the location (and/or name) of the tmp folder.
  • --lockDir
  • --winTen - This option adds support for Windows 10. Since the launcher now supports Windows 10 fully, this option is unnecessary and seems to have no effect.
  • --proxyHost
  • --proxyPort

The --workDir option can be used to create a portable installation of the game. For example, --workDir ..\.minecraft can be used to make the launcher use the current directory (assuming the folder is named .minecraft).

{{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Spawn Egg|Spawn Egg]]<br/>{{distinguish|Egg|Frogspawn|Dragon Egg|Sniffer Egg|Turtle Egg}}
{{Item
| image = Spawn Egg.png
| extratext = View [[#Gallery|all renders]]
| stackable = Yes (64), the same type of spawn egg only
| renewable = No
}}
{{Many images}}
A '''spawn egg'''<ref group=fn>Known as '''''<Mob>'' Spawn Egg''' {{in|java}} and '''Spawn ''<Mob>''''' {{in|bedrock}}, where ''<Mob>'' is the name of the mob it spawns.</ref> is an [[item]] used to spawn [[mobs]] directly.

== Obtaining ==
Spawn eggs can be obtained only in [[Creative]] mode or using [[commands]]. In Creative mode, the [[player]] can press {{control|pick block}} on an existing mob to obtain their respective egg. Spawn eggs are also available in the Creative inventory. There are 77 spawn eggs {{in|bedrock}} and 75 spawn eggs {{in|java}}.

== Usage ==

A spawn egg is used by pressing {{control|use}} on any surface (top, bottom, or side) with the egg. When used on a top surface, the egg's [[mob]] appears with its feet immediately adjacent to the surface, and its ambient sound is played.

Spawn eggs are not thrown (unlike normal [[egg]]s); the player must be within normal range of the block to use the spawn egg. Ocelot and all monster mobs (except [[shulker]]s, [[piglin]]s, [[hoglin]]s; and in Bedrock Edition, also include [[vindicators]], [[evoker]]s, [[zoglin]]s, [[piglin brute]]s) spawned while on Peaceful difficulty get created and immediately deleted from the world.

The surfaces of blocks are prioritized for spawning; if none are within reach, mobs can also be spawned in [[water]].

=== Dispensers ===
A spawn egg fired from a [[dispenser]] spawns the [[mob]] directly in front of the dispenser. The spawn egg is consumed when fired.

=== Baby mobs ===
If the [[player]] {{control|uses}} a spawn egg on the type of [[mob]] it spawns, and that mob has a baby form, the egg spawns a baby version of the mob. In mobs that can breed, the baby is created by breeding the clicked mob to itself. For instance, using a sheep spawn egg on a [[sheep]] makes a baby sheep with the same wool color.{{only|java}}

Other mobs such as [[evoker]]s, [[vindicator]]s, [[vex]]es, [[piglin brute]]s, [[ravager]]s, [[phantom]]s, [[skeleton]]s, [[pillager]]s, [[creeper]]s and [[wither skeleton]]s do not have a baby variant, so the egg still spawns an adult.

=== Monster spawners ===
All spawn eggs can also be {{Control|used}} on a [[monster spawner]] to change the [[mob]] the monster spawner spawns. {{IN|bedrock}}, spawn eggs for any of the fish mobs spawn them only if the monster spawner is waterlogged.

=== Renaming ===
A spawn egg can be renamed on an [[anvil]], and when used it spawns a [[mob]] with that name appearing over its head. The name can be seen only by aiming at the mob from four or fewer blocks away. This name also appears in [[death messages]] from the mob killing a [[player]]. If the player renames a spawn egg by the names described below, the mob appears described below. If the player renames a [[rabbit]] spawn egg "Toast", the secret skin of the rabbit appears when the egg is used. Naming a spawn egg "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" causes the mob to appear upside down and show the given name above it. Renaming a [[vindicator]] "Johnny" causes it to act hostile to all mobs except for other illagers. Renaming a [[sheep]] "jeb_" makes the sheep's wool color cycle in a rainbow loop. This doesn't change the color of the wool the sheep drops. Renaming a spawn egg of a [[Hostile mob|hostile mob]] with an [[anvil]] and then spawning the hostile mob with the renamed spawn egg does not prevent the hostile mob from despawning, unlike using a [[Name Tag|name tag]] on the mob.

=== Survival mode ===
Mobs can be spawned with spawn eggs in [[Survival]] mode, but spawn eggs are [[Content inaccessible in Survival|not obtainable in Survival]] without cheats; they can be obtained only using the Creative menu or commands. Unlike in creative, spawn eggs are consumed when used in survival.

== List of spawn eggs ==
There is a spawn egg for almost every mob in the game; exceptions are listed below this table.

A '''melon slice'''{{efn|Known as '''Melon Slice''' {{in|java}} and '''Melon''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Block loot ===

{{see also|Tutorials/Pumpkin and melon farming|title1 = Pumpkin and melon farming}}

Melon slices can be obtained by breaking (harvesting) [[melon]]s using any [[tool]] or by hand. [[Axe]]s, followed by [[sword]]s, are the fastest tools for harvesting melons.  A melon drops 3–7 melon slices, when broken; by hand, using a [[tool]], or after being broken by the movement of a [[piston]], with an average of 4.64 slices per melon.

Breaking a melon with a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]] increases the potential number of drops by 1 slice per level, up to a maximum of 9 slices.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat a melon slice, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger 
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Composting ===
Placing a melon slice into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

A '''book and quill''' is an [[item]] used to write [[written book]]s.

{{LootChestItem|book-and-quill}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Writing ===

By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.

Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]). 

The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.

In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].

=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}

Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text. 
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.

=== Signing ===

Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].

Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.

The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a book and quill in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* The in-game restrictions on books are not hard limits. Third party editors or commands can make books have more than 100 pages{{only|java}} (2,147,483,639 pages), more than 256 characters per page (32,767 characters per page), can change author names, and can have colored titles, among other things. These books still function properly in vanilla ''Minecraft'', meaning the [[player]] may encounter such books on adventure maps or multiplayer servers.<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1189266-hacking-books</ref>
* If the player renames a book and quill in an anvil before signing it, it retains the name from the anvil instead of taking the name from signing.{{only|java}}

'''Flint and steel''' is a [[tool]] used to create [[fire]] or to ignite certain blocks, structures and mobs.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|flint-and-steel}}

== Usage ==
=== Igniting ===

When {{control|use|text=used}} on the space above any solid top surface, on any side of any flammable block or any side of any [[obsidian]] block within a valid unlit [[nether portal]] frame regardless of if there is a solid top surface available, the flint and steel places a [[fire]] there.

Flint and steel can be used to light unlit [[campfire]]s, [[candle]]s and [[cake|cakes with candles]].

Flint and steel can be used to light [[nether portal]]s, as any fire existing within an appropriate [[obsidian]] frame will instantly be replaced with [[Nether Portal (block)|nether portal blocks]] that occupy the entirety of the frame.

Using flint and steel on [[TNT]] ignites it. The explosion damage dealt by TNT ignited with flint and steel in this specific way counts as the player's attack. If the player is {{Control|sneak|text=sneaking}} a fire is instead placed on the side of the TNT the flint and steel was used on.

A flint and steel can be used on a [[creeper]] to force it to explode. Explosions initiated in this way cannot be cancelled.

When powered, a [[dispenser]] containing flint and steel can place fires or ignite relevant blocks such as TNT or campfires in the space directly in front of it. This reduces the flint and steel's durability. A dispenser containing a flint and steel cannot detonate creepers.

=== Enchantments ===

Flint and steel can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

* In [[Adventure mode]], flint and steel cannot light fires, nor can it ignite nether portals (unless it has the tag {{cd|CanPlaceOn:obsidian}}). However, it can still ignite TNT and creepers.
* The name "Flint and Steel" may be misleading and is inaccurate considering the game doesn’t have and possibly will have [[Java Edition mentioned features#Steel|steel]] in the game and it's crafted with iron instead. This is similar to the [[Old Growth Taiga|Old Growth Pine Taiga]], as there are no pines in the game and they have [[Spruce|Spruce Trees]] instead.
**In real life, Iron can’t be used as a fire striker, so Mojang had to rename it to Flint and Steel so it makes more sense. This explains why it is called Flint and Steel, but there is no steel in the game.
**Steel was mentioned by Mojang, as a “stronger” iron, but shortly rejected, and there are no currently no plans to add it to the game.
* Flint and steel cannot light end portals.
* Flint and Steel is the first item to mention another item that is not in the game.
*In the April Fools Snapshot, [[Java Edition 23w13a or b]], one of the possible voted was “Flint and Steel can ignite any block”.

'''Shovels''' are [[tool]]s used to hasten the process of breaking [[dirt]], [[sand]], [[gravel]] and other soil blocks, as well as to convert [[Dirt (disambiguation)|dirt]] blocks into [[Dirt Path|dirt paths]].

=== Upgrading ===
Like other diamond tools, a diamond shovel can be upgraded to a netherite shovel, although increased durability and resistance to fire/lava in item form are the only benefits. The shovel's performance as a digging tool or a weapon is unchanged by the upgrade.

==== [[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]] ====
{{/Repairing with Anvils}} 
A shovel can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. It also keeps the shovel's [[Enchanting|enchantments]].

=== Chest loot ===
On <code>ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2</code>, they generate a furnace with a wooden shovel inside of it.
{{LootChestItem|iron-shovel,level-enchanted-iron-shovel,random-enchanted-golden-shovel,diamond-shovel,level-enchanted-diamond-shovel,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-shovel,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-shovel-2}}

=== Mob loot ===

==== Equipment ====
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

[[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s have a 0.67% (3.33% in Hard [[difficulty]]) chance of spawning with an iron shovel. They have an 8.5% (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) chance of dropping that shovel if they are killed by the player. The dropped shovel is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted: 0%–25% on Normal difficulty and 3.125%–25% on Hard difficulty, varying with [[regional difficulty]], and enchanted as if on an enchanting table at level 5–22.

==== Raids ====

Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance(5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron shovel that is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Trading ===

Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell enchanted iron shovels for 2 emeralds, and expert-level toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond shovels for 5 emeralds as part of their trades.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level tool smiths have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron shovel for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level tool smiths have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an enchanted diamond shovel for 11-27 emeralds.{{only|java}}

The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchanting table]] at levels 5–19.

=== Villager gifts ===

{{in|java}}, toolsmith [[villager]]s occasionally throw stone shovels at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.

== Usage ==

=== Digging ===

A shovel can be used to break some materials faster. When breaking a block, it uses 1 durability. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.

==== Durability ====

Each different tier of shovel has a different durability:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Material
! [[Durability]]
|-
| {{itemLink|Wooden Shovel|Wood|link=Shovel}}
| 59
|-
| {{itemLink|Stone Shovel|Stone|link=Shovel}}
| 131
|-
| {{itemLink|Iron Shovel|Iron|link=Shovel}}
| 250
|-
| {{itemLink|Diamond Shovel|Diamond|link=Shovel}}

|-
| {{itemLink|Golden Shovel|Golden|link=Shovel}}
| 32
|-
| {{itemLink|Netherite Shovel|Netherite|link=Shovel}}
| 2031
|}

==== Speed ====

The following table summarizes the speed at which different quality shovels perform on different block types. Values with a red background indicate that no resource is dropped when the block is destroyed without a shovel. 
{{breaking row|Clay|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Coarse Dirt}}
{{Breaking row|Concrete Powder}}
{{breaking row|Dirt}}
{{breaking row|Dirt Path}}
{{breaking row|Farmland}}

{{breaking row|Snow|Wooden}}
{{breaking row|Snow Block|Wooden}}
{{breaking row|Soul Sand}}
{{breaking row|Soul Soil}}
{{breaking row|Suspicious Gravel}}
{{breaking row|Suspicious Sand|foot=1}}

=== Dirt paths ===

A shovel can be used to create a [[dirt path]] by {{control|using}} (not digging) the shovel on any one of the following blocks, losing one durability point:
* {{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Podzol}}
* {{BlockLink|Mycelium}}

=== Campfire ===

A shovel can be used to extinguish a [[campfire]].

===Weapon===

Hitting a mob while holding a shovel is a stronger attack than barehanded. Shovels take 2 damage when used as a weapon.

====Java Edition====

[[Category:Java Edition specific information]]
Shovels have an attack speed modifier of -3, meaning they take 1 second to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]]. Shovels deal different damage based on the type:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Attack damage"
!Shovel type
! Attack damage
! Attack speed
!Damage per<br>second (DPS)
|-
|{{ItemLink|Wooden Shovel}}<br>{{ItemLink|Golden Shovel}}||{{hp|2.5}}|| rowspan="5" |1||2.5

|-
|{{ItemLink|Diamond Shovel}}||{{hp|5.5}}||5.5
|-
|{{ItemLink|Netherite Shovel}}||{{hp|6.5}}||6.5
|}

====Bedrock Edition====

{{IN|bedrock}}, shovels always attack instantly and do the following damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Attack damage"
! colspan="5" |Attack damage
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Wooden Shovel}}{{ItemSprite|Golden Shovel}} {{hp|2}}

|{{ItemSprite|Iron Shovel}} {{hp|4}}
|{{ItemSprite|Diamond Shovel}} {{hp|5}}
|{{ItemSprite|Netherite Shovel}} {{hp|6}}
|}

===Enchantments===

A shovel can receive, or be found in an [[End City]] with the following [[enchantment]]s:

{| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right"
|+
!Name
!Max Level
![[Enchanting|Method]]

{{notelist}}

=== Fuel===

Wooden shovels can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per shovel.

===Smelting ingredient===

{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Shovel;Golden Shovel|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins ===
If a {{EntityLink|Piglin}} see a golden shovel, it will set off to reach it, then stare at it for 120 — 160 ticks, putting it in their inventory, and continue to perform the action it was taking before being attracted by the golden shovel.

'''Cooked chicken''' is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

When a chicken dies while on fire, it drops one cooked chicken. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1–4 cooked chicken with Looting III.

=== Cooking ===

[[Raw chicken]] can be cooked in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or [[campfire]]. Each piece of cooked chicken removed from a furnace output slot gives 0.35 [[experience]] (22.4 experience per stack).
{{Smelting
|Raw Chicken
|Cooked Chicken

}}

=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, apprentice-level butcher [[villager]]s have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell 8 cooked chicken for an [[emerald]]. 

Butcher villagers may give cooked chicken to players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.{{only|java}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, apprentice-level butcher villagers have a 25% chance to sell 8 cooked chicken for an emerald as part of their trades.

== Usage ==
=== Food ===

To eat cooked chicken, 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]].

=== Wolves ===

Cooked chicken 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.

This variation is called an "empty map". It does not show location markers. It is intended for cloning and zooming locator maps without having to consume an additional [[compass]] (thereby saving [[iron ingot]]s and [[redstone dust]]), but it can also be {{Control|use|text=activated}} and later converted to a locator map by combining it with a compass on an [[anvil]], [[crafting table]], or [[cartography table]].

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|empty-map,map 
}}

=== Cartography table ===
A map can also be created using a single paper on a [[cartography table]] to create an empty map, or a paper with a compass for an empty locator map.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Starting map ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
When creating a new world {{in|bedrock}}, the player can enable the "Starting Map" option to spawn with an empty locator map in the hotbar. The map's zoom scale is 1:8. The map is updated only while the player holds it.

=== Trading ===
Novice-level cartographer [[Villager|villagers]] sell a single empty map for 7 [[Emerald|emeralds]] as their trades.

{{IN|java}}, cartographer villagers may give players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect an empty map.

== Usage ==
{{See also|Tutorials/Mapping}}

=== Mapping ===

Crafting a map creates an empty map. The map is drawn for the first time when it is held and used (with ''{{control|use item}}''). This map can then be adjusted to different zoom levels. After conversion to a drawn map item, it starts to draw a top-down view of the player's surroundings, with North pointing to the top of the map. A pointed oval pointer indicates the player's position on the map, and moves in real-time as the player moves across the terrain shown on the map. The map does ''not'' center on the player when created, rather, the world is broken up into large invisible grid squares, and the map displays the area of whichever grid square it is in when it is first used. For example, if a player uses a new map in a certain grid square, and then moves a distance away and uses another fresh map but is still within the same grid square, both maps appear identical. To make a map that is not identical to the first one, the player would have to move outside of the edges of the first map (because then they would be in a new grid square). This way, no two maps of the same size can ever partially overlap and every map can display only a fixed area.

To record the world on a map, that specific map must be held in the player's hands while the player moves around the world. The world is recorded as-is during exploration, meaning that if the world is modified, a player must revisit the area while holding the map to update the map's view. Maps can also be [[Map#Cloning|cloned]]. If a player holds a map whose clone is on display in an item frame, then that map updates while holding its clone. 

Other players are displayed on the map only if they have a map in their inventory cloned from the one being looked at. When placing a map into an [[item frame]], the map displays with a green pointer shown at the location of the item frame. This is to help the player see where they are in relation to the area that the map is showing. If the player leaves a map in an item frame and views a clone of it, the green pointer remains in the spot of the framed copy. This can be used to set up waypoints. Unexplored areas are transparent, making the item frame visible.

When the player leaves the area shown on a specific map, the player pointer transforms into a white dot on that map. The marker shrinks to a smaller white dot if the player is far from the map's center: the area is 320 by 320 blocks per scale factor. The dot moves along the edge of the map to show the relative location of the player. However {{in|bedrock}}, the pointer remains as an arrow but shrinks until the player is near the area shown on the map.

While maps in [[the Nether]] work, they show only the red-and-gray pattern, regardless of the blocks placed. The only useful function is finding where the player is in relation to placed framed maps, which show as green pointers.  Additionally, the player pointer rapidly spins and is not a good indicator of direction. Placing a [[banner]] in [[the Nether]] still shows it on the map as usual.  Having a smaller map image while riding a [[strider]] in the Nether can help one to see one's footing while traveling over [[lava]].

{{IN|java}}, when using a map from another dimension, the map shows the player's position and direction when they were last in the dimension of the map. {{IN|bedrock}}, however, the player can use maps from one dimension while in another dimension. For locator maps, the place marker changes color depending on the dimension that the player is currently in (white for the Overworld, red for [[the Nether]], and magenta for [[the End]]). An Overworld map in the Nether shows the player's corresponding location and direction in the Overworld.<ref name=multiverse>{{ytl|EpP1diZdEdI}}</ref> Similarly, a Nether Map in the Overworld shows the player's corresponding location in the Overworld, but the place marker spins, just like a Nether map in the Nether. An Overworld map in the End shows the world spawn.<ref name=multiverse/> A Nether map cannot be used in the End — the map appears, but the place marker is not shown anywhere — and similarly, an End map cannot be used in the Overworld or the Nether.

A player can make a large piece of pixel art (128×128) facing upward, center a map on it, and place that map in an [[item frame]] to create a custom picture. Locking is recommended. See [[Map item format#Map Pixel Art]] for details on the techniques.

Maps display as a mini-map when held in the off-hand, or if the off-hand slot is occupied; the map is full-sized only when held in the dominant hand with both hands free.

=== Map content ===
{{Main|Map item format}}

Maps consist of square pixels arranged like pixels in a 128×128 square pattern, with each pixel representing a square portion of land. {{IN|java}}, the [[Map item format#Color table|color of a map pixel]] generally matches the color of the most common [[opaque]] block in the corresponding area, as seen from the sky. 'Minority blocks' in the target area have no effect on the color of the pixel, thus small features tend to be undetectable on zoomed-out maps.

{{IN|bedrock}}, the [[Map item format#Color table|color of a map pixel]] instead matches the single top-most opaque block in a grid sized by the map magnification pixel size (see the table in the "Player marker and pointer" section below). For example, a 3/4 magnification map has a pixel size of 8x8 blocks; this means the map will read only the top-most opaque blocks at the 0,0 coordinate, the 8,0 coordinate, the 0,8 coordinate, etcetera, ignoring all other blocks in the area. This means that {{in|bedrock}}, map pixel art requires only one block per pixel regardless of map magnification.

{{IN|bedrock}}, grass, foliage and water colors that are biome-dependent are represented accurately on a map.

Maps also show ground up to about 15 blocks below the surface of the water in oceans as slightly lighter blue, to show where the ground rises. This is not true with land above water. Higher elevations in the world mean lighter colors on the map. The map records the surface even as the player moves below the surface.

A standard map represents 128x128 blocks (1 block per pixel, 8x8 [[chunks]]) but maps can be zoomed-out to represent up to 2048x2048 blocks (16 square blocks per pixel, 128x128 [[chunks]]).

Some relevant distances: 64 blocks (4 chunks) is the update radius from a player in the Overworld and the End. However, it is half this (32 blocks) in the Nether. Also, 1024 blocks is the minimum Overworld distance from a [[nether portal]], at which players can build another portal and expect to reach a new location in the Nether. This is the distance across a 1:8 map, and also from a 1:16 map's center to its edge.

=== Player marker and pointer ===
{{IN|java}}, every map contains a marker that marks the position of the player, and points in the same direction as the player. When a player moves out of a map, a big white dot appears and moves relative to the player's position. The pointer either disappears when the player moves away a certain distance from the border of the map or, in case of [[explorer map]]s, the big white dot changes to a smaller white dot. The distance required for the small white dot to appear(explorer maps) or for the big dot to vanish (normal maps) changes with the scaling of the map.
* '''Level 0/4 :''' 128×128 blocks (each map pixel represents 1 block)
* '''Level 1/4 :''' 256×256 blocks (2×2 blocks per map pixel)
* '''Level 2/4 :''' 512×512 blocks (4×4 blocks per map pixel)
* '''Level 3/4 :''' 1024×1024 blocks (8×8 blocks per map pixel)
* '''Level 4/4 :'''  2048×2048 blocks  (16×16 blocks per map pixel)
{{IN|bedrock}}, a map can be crafted with or without this marker, and a map without a position marker can add one later by adding a compass to the map.  When a map is crafted without a compass, it's simply called an "empty map", but when crafted with a compass, it's called an "empty locator map". The marker also turns red if the player enters the Nether with an Overworld map and shows the player's Overworld location relative to the Nether location. A map created in the End has a purple marker showing the player's location. If an Overworld map is used in the End, a magenta dot appears on the player's spawn point.{{/BE|position}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, a cartography table can also be used to add a pointer to create a locator map or empty locator map. This can be done by adding a compass to paper, or to an empty map or map.

=== Zooming out ===
[[File:Cartography table UI zoom.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being zoomed out.]]

A [[cartography table]] can also be used to zoom out, taking only one piece of paper per zoom level.

A blank map can not be zoomed out. A map has to have something already marked on it for the zooming to be possible.

The zooming function starts from when the map is created (zoom level 0) up to its fourth zoom step (zoom level 4).

Maps are always aligned to a grid at all zoom levels. That means zooming out any different map in a specific area covered by that map always has the same center. As such, maps are aligned by map width (1024 blocks for a level 3 maps) minus 64. A level 3 map generated at spawn covers X and Z coordinates from -64 to 959. All maps generated in this area zoom out to the same coordinates, guaranteeing that they are always 'aligned' on a map wall. For a zoomed-out map to cover a new area, it must start with a base (level 0) map that is in that area.

At zoom level 0, a map created on the point (0,0) has (0,0) at the center of the map. At higher zoom levels of the same map, the coordinate (0,0) is in the top left square of the map.

{{IN|java}}, zoom level can be seen on a map by turning on Advanced Tooltips (a [[Debug screen#More debug keys|debug screen]] option that can be toggled by using the key combination {{key|F3+H}}). The tooltip of the map then shows the zoom level, scaling factors, and map ID.

=== Cloning ===
[[File:Cartography table UI clone.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|Java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being cloned.]]

A mix of empty maps and empty locator maps may be used. Whether the cloned maps show position markers is dependent only on the input map.

A [[cartography table]] can also be used to clone a map.

The parts of the world that have already been explored and mapped are copied, and newly explored areas appear on both instances. If one of the maps is later zoomed out, then the maps lose their connection to each other and function as completely separate maps that have to be individually filled by exploring.

In Creative mode, a map in an item frame may be cloned by using {{control|pick block}} on it, as long as that map is not also in the player's inventory.

It doesn't matter if the map to be cloned is at a higher zoom level (made of more paper) than the blank map. Upon copying the map, both resulting maps have the same magnification as the starting map.

{{/BE|clone}}

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Map, Empty Map}}

=== Marking points ===
{{IN|java}} the player has the ability to mark spots on a map. To do this, {{control|use}} a map on a placed-down [[banner]], and the spot of the banner gets marked on the map. The mark takes the color of whatever the base color is for the banner, and if the banner has a name, the mark shows that name. Banner marks on a map are always oriented with their top facing north, regardless of the banner's actual orientation. If the banner is destroyed, the mark of the banner remains at first, but if the player gets closer to where the banner previously was, it disappears as the area is updated on the map.

If a map is mounted on an item frame and is within the area it depicts, the mounted map displays its current location with a green indicator rotated to match its orientation.

[[File:Map Marker Bedrock on Item frame.png|thumb|181x181px|{{IN|bedrock}} this is what a map lying on an item frame looks like, while showing markers.]]
{{IN|bedrock}} the player can place copies of locator maps in [[item frame]]s in order to create a land mark. The marker is a green dot that resembles the shape of the player's marker, but in green color. The position the marker points at depends on the direction the item frame is facing. It is worth noting that the markers work only on copies of the same map. Other maps of the same area do not show the existing markers that the player(s) had placed.

If a player has a cloned map in their inventory, their pointer appears white when viewed on the same map held by another player. Hence, if all players have the same cloned map in their inventory, all markers would appear white when the clone map is viewed.

===Locking===
[[File:Cartography table UI lock.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|Java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being locked.]]

Maps can be locked when using a [[glass pane]] in a [[cartography table]]. This creates a new map containing the same data and locks it. All copies of this new map are also locked. A locked map never changes, even when the depicted terrain changes. {{IN|Be}}, locked maps have a unique texture.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Use of the {{key|F1}} key can allow the player to hold a map without blocking their view at all.
* In ''Java Edition'', a map created using {{cmd|give}} can be any map by using the Map parameter to specify the map number desired. E.g. {{cmd|give [player] minecraft:filled_map{map:5<nowiki>}}} gives the specified player map_5. If no data value is supplied it defaults to map_0. If map_0 has not ever been crafted, it is centered on x=0, z=0.
* The maps are stored separately as their own data (<code>.dat</code>) file as <code>map_x.dat</code> with (x) being the map number, see [[map item format]] for more info. By manipulating this number, players can organize their maps to suit them, or if they accidentally create a map in the same location, they can delete their extra map so as to save the number they make.
* Certain programs can be used to make customized maps with images or text on them instead of actual maps, many people use these in adventure maps to show pictures or to tell a story.
* Since all copies of a map are links to the same file, copying an unfinished map keeps it synchronized with the copy as the player fills it in. Thus, a copy stored in a chest can act as a remote backup.
* A map that is in an item frame does not update itself until a player picks it up, lets it reload, and places it back again. However, if a player holds a clone of the map, both maps update.
* Filled maps are the only items that make 90 degree rotations in item frames, and also the only items that can expand the item frame into full block wide.
* On [[Legacy Console Edition]], the player always spawns with a map in their inventory after creating a world. This was later added to Bedrock Edition as an optional feature in the world creation menu.
* Maps on Legacy Console Edition always show the player's current coordinates, as a substitute for the optional [[Coordinates|coordinate display]] in other editions.
* A map cannot be created on [[New Nintendo 3DS Edition]]. Instead, the map is always displayed on the bottom screen along with the coordinates. Biome colors do not appear on maps.

A '''minecart''' is a train-like vehicle [[entity]] that runs on [[Rail (disambiguation)|rail]]s.

== Obtaining ==

Minecarts can be retrieved by {{control|attack|text=attacking}} them for some time. Minecarts can also be retrieved with one attack from a [[pickaxe]] provided the player's attack cooldown is reset. A minecart is also destroyed if it makes contact with a [[cactus]], or if shot with a [[bow]] and arrow.

=== Entity loot ===
[[Minecart with command block]]s can be given to the player with the {{cmd|/give}} command or through the creative inventory under certain conditions{{only|java}}; [[minecart with spawner]]s{{only|java}} are available only via the {{cmd|/summon}} command. Each drop 1 minecart when broken.

== Usage ==
[[File:RideableMinecart.png|thumb|right|A rideable minecart on rails surrounded by wood slabs]]

A minecart can be placed in the same manner as most blocks but can be placed only on top of a [[rail]]. Once placed, it may be derailed by pushing it off the end of the track. After this, it can be railed again by placing a rail directly below it or pushing it onto a track.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Transportation ===
[[File:Steve Riding a Minecart.png|thumb|right|upright|[[Steve]] riding a minecart]]
{{see also|Transportation|Riding}}

Minecarts can be ridden by {{control|use|text=pressing the "use" control}} on them. Once inside, an external impulse may be needed to make the minecart start moving. The player can slowly move the minecart forward while riding it, by pressing {{control|forward}}. If a mob walks in front of an empty minecart, it is pulled into the cart.

After rolling off of the end of a track, a minecart can be pushed around on open blocks. If a minecart is pushed onto or falls onto tracks, it "snaps" to those tracks. When riding a minecart, if the minecart lands on a rail, the player does not take any fall damage. <!--Minecarts and arrows don't interact anymore.-->

Unlike with [[bed]]s, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied minecart.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|161251|Attempting to enter an occupied bed displays a message over the hotbar, but attempting to enter an occupied vehicle does not|date=September 18, 19|resolution=Works as Intended}}</ref>

=== Dismounting ===
Players can exit the minecart by pressing {{control|sneak}}. When a player or mob dismounts a minecart, either by choice, by breaking the minecart, or by passing over an [[activator rail]], the minecart tries to find a safe ejection destination one block away. First it checks the eight horizontally adjacent blocks in the following order of priority relative to direction of travel: right, left, rear right, rear left, front right, front left, rear, front. A valid destination has a block underneath with a solid (not necessarily full) top surface and a space with enough headroom and width for the passenger to fit in when standing at the center. The space can even contain liquid or have open trapdoors if the mob is slim enough, and presence of other mobs doesn't matter. If no valid destination exists on same horizontal level, the minecart then checks the blocks one above, then one below. For a player, the minecart also checks for crawlable destinations. If still none, the minecart chooses its own location. Once the minecart picks a destination, it actually ejects the passenger one block up in the air and the passenger settles down on its own. Under a low ceiling this may cause one tick of suffocation damage. The air drop exists to allow passengers to land on carpet or bottom slabs.

== Behavior ==

=== Speed ===

Minecarts have a predefined speed limit of exactly 8 blocks per second ''per axis of travel''. A minecart traveling diagonally can, therefore, travel up to 11.314 blocks per second.<ref>The square root of 8<sup>2</sup> + 8<sup>2</sup>. See [[wikipedia:Pythagorean theorem|Pythagorean theorem]].</ref> When a minecart comes to a turn it moves diagonally across that turn.

[[Powered rail]]s powered by redstone give minecarts a boost of speed. Speed is gradually decreased if there are no powered rails to assist its movement, and an unpowered powered rail slows down a minecart rapidly. The speed decreases at a faster rate when going uphill, compared to when moving horizontally. A minecart does not need powered rails to assist its movement down a hill.
<!-- Is this comparison to real-life physics necessary? - One unit of kinetic energy could be defined as the energy gained by a cart going down a one-block slope and lost by a cart when it goes up a one-block slope. If a 45-degree downward slope is connected directly into an upward slope, an initial height of 60 blocks results in a final height of 40 blocks, a loss of 20 units of potential energy. But if 20 sections of flat track are inserted between the slopes, the final height is 35. This implies that one unit of energy is lost for every 4 sections of horizontal track traveled with an initial stored energy of between 60 and 40. At much lower speeds, much less energy is lost, implying that the energy lost is a percentage of the cart's current energy. The above gives about 0.5% energy loss per section of track. One implication of this is that more energy lost when the cart has more energy, so a gradual slope should allow you to travel much farther distances than a steep slope followed by a long flat section. (This is different from real-life physics, where friction does not increase with velocity. However, it may be an attempt to mirror air resistance, which ''does'' increase with velocity.) -->

Anything in the way of the minecart brings it to a stop. Once a minecart has left the track, it rapidly decelerates within one or two blocks. When mobs touch a minecart, they affect it in the same way a player would, i.e. mobs that move up against a still cart set it in motion.

If a minecart is moving fast enough, it can skip across one block without a track and reattach to track on the other side, at significantly reduced energy and speed. A minecart's hitbox can skip turns if the minecart is boosted using enough powered rails.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|179971|Minecart skips turns if too fast|date=April 22, 2020}}</ref>

The speed and momentum of a minecart can differ depending on whether or not it is empty, and in the case where a minecart has a container, the speed can differ depending on the quantity and type of items inside.

=== Merged minecarts ===

{{IN|java}}, two or more minecarts can be merged by pushing them into each other so that they overlap. Merged minecarts move as a collective, like a train, and can be useful for long-distance transport because while moving in a straight line, they ''do not need powered rails to keep their speed''.

To summarize:
* Minecarts can also be merged by ''dropping'' a minecart on another minecart.
* Merged minecarts do not lose speed while traveling on straight rails
* ''Corners'' in the rails might cause merged minecarts to unmerge.
* Minecarts with ''chest'' (even fully filled) can also be merged and also do ''not'' require powered rails.

=== Distance traveled by empty carts starting on a downward slope ===

This table shows the distance traveled by an unoccupied minecart on a downward slope, with a boost (or no boost). The most efficient way is to use only 1 boost at the bottom of the incline on the flat surface. Using 2 increases distance by about 20% or 1.5 blocks. All distance trends based on the height seem to be logarithmic.
The carts started from rest, on a slope Height blocks up.

=== Collision ===

Minecarts are about the same size as a block (1×1). Because of this, a ladder, door, or trapdoor prevents it from falling down a 1×1 hole. Carts on [[rail]]s also ignore collision in certain situations. A cart traveling uphill, downhill, or on a curve with a block placed in front of it, goes through the block.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8004|Minecarts glitch through the stop block of a track that ends with a turn or a downward slope|date=January 20, 2013}}</ref>

A minecart that reaches the end of a rail up against an opaque solid block bounces back, but if the block is transparent then it stops. The minecart can even bounce against an opaque block from a standstill if the rail underneath is powered. A player or mob riding in a minecart does not collide with or suffocate in any transparent blocks but suffocates inside opaque blocks.

Minecarts are completely unaffected by [[ice]], [[packed ice]], and [[blue ice]]<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8265|Minecarts don't slide on any sort of ice|date=January 25, 2013}}</ref>; they can also be destroyed by coming in contact with [[lava]] or [[fire]].

=== Mobs ===
{{missing information|section|some other mobs that cannot be picked up by minecarts}}
[[File:Minecart shake.gif|thumb|right|Minecart shaking due to being on top of an activator rail.]]
Mobs can ride minecarts, but cannot control them. Mobs cannot exit the minecart unless the minecart is destroyed or moves onto an active [[activator rail]].<ref>{{bug|MC-3866||Endermen, Tamed Wolves and Ocelots cannot teleport when in a Minecart|WAI}}</ref> However, {{in|bedrock}}, [[endermen]] are able to teleport out of minecarts.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-31761||Endermen can still teleport out of the boats and minecarts}}</ref>

A mob can ride a minecart when pushing by a moving minecart on rails {{in|java}} or when colliding with a minecart {{in|bedrock}}. It is easier to pick up a mob when a minecart is turning. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[armor stand]]s can also be picked up.

Most mobs can be picked up by minecarts, except [[ender dragon]]s, [[warden]]s, and [[wither]]s. {{IN|java}}, [[iron golem]]s cannot be picked up either.

A [[jockey]] riding a minecart automatically accelerates the minecart.<ref>{{bug|MC-71998||Minecarts that have passengers within them riding mobs can move automatically when not on rails}}</ref> Mobs in minecarts don't despawn, and don't count towards the mob cap.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-182897||Some passenger mobs don't count to the mob cap|WAI}}</ref>

=== Boats ===
{{exclusive|java|section=yes}}
{{UsesBug|section=yes}}
Due to the bug {{bug|MC-113871}}, [[boat]]s can be captured by minecarts. When a boat is placed in a minecart, the minecart travels faster on rails, approximately as fast as on powered rails. The movement in the boat minecart is glitchy and moving forward with the W key moves the cart backward relative to the player, and vice versa for moving backward with the S key. The minecart also moves on the rail-less ground at a crawling speed, but it does not float in the water despite being in a boat. 

Using this glitch can be far more resource-efficient since the boat minecart can move at the speed of a powered rail track on flat ground and on slopes. Another physics glitch with the boat minecart is the extreme reduction in friction when the minecart is on rails, which is similar to the lack of friction when a boat is riding on ice. This glitch can be done in Survival without cheats simply by pushing a minecart into a boat on the track. This bug is now patched.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Minecarts appear to float above the track, as their model has no wheels.
* If the player views their inventory while riding in a minecart, they appear sitting down in mid-air.
* The player can teleport to another minecart while sitting in a minecart by right-clicking a minecart in their range. This can be used as an elevator to quickly rise up when minecarts are placed on top of each other.
* If the sound is muted in the options while riding a minecart, and then turned back up, the minecart no longer makes noise in the client until the player exits the minecart.
* If a saddled pig is riding a minecart, the player can ride the pig. Doing so causes the minecart to be able to ride freely at the player's walking speed. It is unknown whether this is a glitch.
* It seems that hunger does not deplete while inactive in a minecart (at least in normal difficulty).
* A minecart (alongside rails and powered rails) are used as Steve's Side-Special in the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

'''Cooked mutton''' is a [[food]] item obtained from cooking [[raw mutton]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Sheep ====
Adult [[sheep]] drop 1–2 cooked mutton if killed while on fire. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[looting]], for a maximum of 1-5 with Looting III.

=== Cooking ===
Cooked mutton can be obtained by cooking raw mutton in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or [[campfire]].

{{Smelting

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, apprentice-level butcher [[villager]]s have a 25% chance to sell 4 cooked mutton for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{IN|java}}, butcher villagers may give the players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect cooked mutton.

A '''spawn egg'''<ref group=fn>Known as '''''<Mob>'' Spawn Egg''' {{in|java}} and '''Spawn ''<Mob>''''' {{in|bedrock}}, where ''<Mob>'' is the name of the mob it spawns.</ref> is an [[item]] used to spawn [[mobs]] directly.

== Obtaining ==
Spawn eggs can be obtained only in [[Creative]] mode or using [[commands]]. In Creative mode, the [[player]] can press {{control|pick block}} on an existing mob to obtain their respective egg. Spawn eggs are also available in the Creative inventory. There are 77 spawn eggs {{in|bedrock}} and 75 spawn eggs {{in|java}}.

== Usage ==

A spawn egg is used by pressing {{control|use}} on any surface (top, bottom, or side) with the egg. When used on a top surface, the egg's [[mob]] appears with its feet immediately adjacent to the surface, and its ambient sound is played.

Spawn eggs are not thrown (unlike normal [[egg]]s); the player must be within normal range of the block to use the spawn egg. Ocelot and all monster mobs (except [[shulker]]s, [[piglin]]s, [[hoglin]]s; and in Bedrock Edition, also include [[vindicators]], [[evoker]]s, [[zoglin]]s, [[piglin brute]]s) spawned while on Peaceful difficulty get created and immediately deleted from the world.

The surfaces of blocks are prioritized for spawning; if none are within reach, mobs can also be spawned in [[water]].

=== Dispensers ===
A spawn egg fired from a [[dispenser]] spawns the [[mob]] directly in front of the dispenser. The spawn egg is consumed when fired.

=== Baby mobs ===
If the [[player]] {{control|uses}} a spawn egg on the type of [[mob]] it spawns, and that mob has a baby form, the egg spawns a baby version of the mob. In mobs that can breed, the baby is created by breeding the clicked mob to itself. For instance, using a sheep spawn egg on a [[sheep]] makes a baby sheep with the same wool color.{{only|java}}

Other mobs such as [[evoker]]s, [[vindicator]]s, [[vex]]es, [[piglin brute]]s, [[ravager]]s, [[phantom]]s, [[skeleton]]s, [[pillager]]s, [[creeper]]s and [[wither skeleton]]s do not have a baby variant, so the egg still spawns an adult.

=== Monster spawners ===
All spawn eggs can also be {{Control|used}} on a [[monster spawner]] to change the [[mob]] the monster spawner spawns. {{IN|bedrock}}, spawn eggs for any of the fish mobs spawn them only if the monster spawner is waterlogged.

=== Renaming ===
A spawn egg can be renamed on an [[anvil]], and when used it spawns a [[mob]] with that name appearing over its head. The name can be seen only by aiming at the mob from four or fewer blocks away. This name also appears in [[death messages]] from the mob killing a [[player]]. If the player renames a spawn egg by the names described below, the mob appears described below. If the player renames a [[rabbit]] spawn egg "Toast", the secret skin of the rabbit appears when the egg is used. Naming a spawn egg "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" causes the mob to appear upside down and show the given name above it. Renaming a [[vindicator]] "Johnny" causes it to act hostile to all mobs except for other illagers. Renaming a [[sheep]] "jeb_" makes the sheep's wool color cycle in a rainbow loop. This doesn't change the color of the wool the sheep drops. Renaming a spawn egg of a [[Hostile mob|hostile mob]] with an [[anvil]] and then spawning the hostile mob with the renamed spawn egg does not prevent the hostile mob from despawning, unlike using a [[Name Tag|name tag]] on the mob.

=== Survival mode ===
Mobs can be spawned with spawn eggs in [[Survival]] mode, but spawn eggs are [[Content inaccessible in Survival|not obtainable in Survival]] without cheats; they can be obtained only using the Creative menu or commands. Unlike in creative, spawn eggs are consumed when used in survival.

== List of spawn eggs ==
There is a spawn egg for almost every mob in the game; exceptions are listed below this table.

{{Item
| image = Gold Ingot.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}}

A '''gold ingot''' is a [[metal]] ingot used to craft various [[item]]s, and also used as currency for [[bartering]] with [[piglin]]s.

== Obtaining ==
Gold ingots are mainly obtained by smelting [[raw gold]], [[gold ore]] and [[nether gold ore]], or just mining nether gold ore, dropping gold nuggets. Gold generates more frequently in [[badlands]] biomes.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Zombified piglin]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping a gold ingot if killed by a player or tamed wolf. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|gold-ingot}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient===

As a material for weapons, tools, and armor, gold is not a straight upgrade from iron (except in the case of [[Horse Armor|horse armor]]). Gold has a higher mining speed and enchantability than any other material, but attack power and durability is less.

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level cleric [[Villager|villagers]] buy 3 gold ingots for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

=== Repairing ===

Golden [[helmet]]s, [[chestplate]]s, [[leggings]], [[boots]], [[sword]]s, [[pickaxe]]s, [[axe]]s, [[hoe]]s and [[shovel]]s can be [[item repair|repaired]] with gold ingots in an [[anvil]].

=== Bartering ===
{{main|Bartering}}
[[Piglin]]s throw the player [[Bartering#Mechanics|item(s)]] if the player throws or {{ctrl|uses}} a gold ingot on them.

=== Beacons ===

Gold ingots can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot. 

A gold ingot can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]] or [[netherite ingot]], an [[emerald]], or a [[diamond]].

=== Smithing ingredient ===

Trivia

Launcher Creeper faceLauncher Creeper faceLauncher shrug emojiLauncher shrug emoji
  • In the top left corner a barely visible button can be found which randomly shows either a Creeper face or a shrug kaomoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It glows white when clicked, but has no use at all
    • The Creeper face as well as the meme were used for the language selection menu during the beta phase of the launcher, but when a globe was added instead both were simply moved downwards to be kept as an Easter egg
  • If you hover long enough over the "Play" button, random mobs will appear on the right side of the window.
