Template:Infobox
The Minecraft Launcher is the game downloader and launcher for Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft Dungeons. It is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, but Minecraft Dungeons can only be played on Windows.
Features
The initial login screen.
On the initial login screen, users must log in with a pre-existing Microsoft account, Mojang Studios account, or legacy Minecraft account, otherwise they can create a new Microsoft account by clicking the link. Subsequent logins can be done in the "Settings" tab.
On the left side, a "News" tab, a tab for each game, and the launcher "Settings" tab can be seen.
The top left corner of the launcher contains the user's currently active account name. If a Microsoft account is used, this will be their Xbox Gamertag (which might differ from Minecraft: Java Edition username)[1], otherwise it will be their Java Edition username. By clicking on it, users can manage or log out of their active account, and see a "Help" page with various links to helpful sources.
Minecraft: Java Edition
The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch the game with the "Play" button, and also includes an installation selection on the left (which sorts installations by last played), the user's Java Edition username on the right, and a list of the latest news for the game from minecraft.net below.
- One can launch multiple instances of the game by pressing the "Play" button whilst the game is running.
- If the device is not connected to the internet, the game can be run in offline mode, but only if the game has been initially downloaded.
- If the user isn't logged into an account that has purchased the game, the "Play" button will instead be a "Play demo" button which will launch the demo version of the game.
There is also a "Patch notes" section where the patch notes of the game's update can be seen, including the snapshots (if enabled).
Installations
Creating a new installation.
In the "Installations" section, Custom installations can be created and edited. There are buttons to sort and search installations, as well as checkboxes to enable installations with "Releases", "Snapshot", and "Modded" versions of the game. Installations are stored in launcher_profiles.json in the game's directory (.minecraft).
By default, there are installations for the "Latest release" and for "Latest snapshot" (if enabled), both of which the game versions cannot be changed. A new installation can be created by clicking the "New installation" button and an existing installation can be edited by clicking on it. There is a "Play" button that launches the selected installation and a folder icon that takes to the installation's game directory. The ellipses button contains the options to edit, duplicate, or delete an installation.
On the create/edit installation page, the following can be changed:
- Icon, by selecting one of the default ones or adding a custom one. Custom icons must be a .png and 128×128 pixels in size.
- Name, by default called "<unnamed installation>".
- Version, which includes access to older releases and snapshots (if enabled).
- Game directory, the location of where the game files are saved, the default being .minecraft. The location can be typed in or selected using the "Browse" button.
- Resolution, which changes the game's windows size. It has a list of resolutions, or a custom one can be typed in.
- Java executable, by default uses the bundled java runtime.
- JVM arguments, such as heap size. Users can manually set a logging configuration (see Debugging on wiki.vg for more info).
A specific game version's server jar can also be downloaded by selecting the version in the list and pressing the "Server" button next to it.
Backwards compatibility
Selecting older versions in the create new installation screen.
The launcher has the ability to play most older releases of the game (and older snapshots, if enabled) by default, but also some older versions prior to Release 1.0. In order to see these versions in the installations section, the player must enable "Show historical versions of Java Edition" in the launcher settings tab. Because these versions are outdated and unsupported, they may contain bugs and errors which are not present in newer versions. It is recommended to run old versions of the game in a separate directory and backup worlds to avoid save corruption or other problems.[2]
Once historical versions are enabled, the following can be accessed:
- Most beta versions.
- Most a
- lpha versions.
- One infdev version.
- Four classic versions.
- Five pre-classic versions.[3]
Some issues with these older versions include:
- Some sounds are wrong; bows, doors, and explosions use their sounds from RC1, even in versions released prior to it. In versions before Alpha 1.1.2_01, sounds do not work at all.
- Skins are missing in versions prior to 1.7, as earlier versions used a different skin server which has since been shut down. Capes may still work, however.[needs testing]
- In Alpha 1.0.15 and from Alpha 1.2.0 to Alpha 1.2.6, the launcher does not set the player's name properly, resulting in everyone using default names: "Player" followed by a random 3-digit number. This makes multiplayer very difficult to play, as a player's location and inventory will be reset every time they relaunch their client.
- In Alpha 1.2.5 and Alpha 1.2.6 specifically, players will always be named "Player524". Playing multiplayer in these versions is impossible, as joining a server will kick other players with the same name.
- As a side effect of the above, and as a result of old authentication servers being shut down, online mode no longer works in versions before Beta 1.8.
Skins
The skins section.
In the "Skins" section, the user can view and change their in-game skin. By default, the skin will either be Steve or Alex.
In the skins library, skin can be applied by clicking "Use". The skin can also be edited, duplicate, or delete by clicking the ellipsis button. By default, the library contains the default Steve and Alex skins, which can be duplicated or applied, but not removed.
Visiting this section without the game purchased will show a button that redirects to the Minecraft: Java Edition buy page.
Minecraft Dungeons
This section is a work in progress.
Please help in the expansion or creation of this article by expanding or improving it. The talk page may contain suggestions.
There are 5 tabs on the Minecraft Dungeons page: Play, DLC, FAQ, Installation, and Patch notes. (Only Play, DLC, and Patch notes are shown on an unsupported platform.)
Play
The default view of the Minecraft Dungeons section in the Launcher
The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch the latest version of Minecraft Dungeons with the "Play" button, and also includes images from the game and a list of the latest news articles from minecraft.net below. This section also contains a notice that the game can be purchased separately from the Microsoft Store for Windows 10. If the player is not playing on the supported platform, a small message on the bottom will be shown that displays: Where is the play button?! Minecraft Dungeons isn't available on (platform).
DLC
The DLC tab on the Minecraft Dungeons Page in the Launcher
There is a search bar and a filter option to narrow down the results when searching the DLCs. The bundle or/and the DLCs can be shown by checking the box.
Each DLC is shown in a card-like structure with the DLC info on the left and a cover image on the right. There is also a slideshow on the bottom of the card.
FAQ
The FAQ Tab in Minecraft Dungeons on the Minecraft Launcher
The FAQ section is shown when pressing the FAQ tab. There is a list of troubleshooting sections and a link to the Help Center FAQ for Minecraft Dungeons.
Installation
This section is missing information about the launcher appearance when the game was purchased.
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
Visiting this section without the game purchased will show a button that redirects to the Minecraft Dungeons buy page.
Patch Notes
This section shows cards of the patch notes. Each card contains an image on top and the text below stating the name of the patch notes. When clicked, this will show the patch notes.
Settings
The "About" section in the launcher settings.
In the main "General" section, users can:
- Change the launcher language. There are 66 languages available, including 2 joke languages (as of February 2021).
- Use the beta version of the launcher, which requires restarting the launcher to start downloading if there is one available.
- Keep the launcher open while games are running.
- Enable animations in the launcher, which are disabled by default to avoid potential motion sickness for some users.
- Disable hardware acceleration.
Options exclusively for Minecraft: Java Edition:
- Open the output log when the game starts.
- Option to automatically send the game's crash reports to Mojang Studios.
- Show historical versions of the game (versions prior to Release 1.0) in the version selector in the Installations section.
In the "Accounts" section, users can add, switch, manage, or remove their Microsoft, Mojang Studios, or Legacy Minecraft accounts.
The "About" section contains details about the launcher including its version, credits, and third-party licenses, as well as a list of patch notes by clicking the "What's New?" button.
Command line usage
This section is missing information about the default host of the proxy (if available).
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
The Minecraft Launcher can be invoked using the command line by typing %Program Files (x86)%/Minecraft Launcher\MinecraftLauncher.exe in Windows or minecraft-launcher in either Mac or Linux.
The Help Message when using MinecraftLauncher.exe --help
As of version 2.2.25xx, the launcher has these command-line options available for Minecraft: Java Edition:
--demo- This launches the demo version of the game, much like if the game hasn't been purchased yet.-h, --help- This option will display a help message on how to run it in the command line.--clean– This option deletes the "game" and "runtime" folders, including their contents, from the working directory.--launcherui- This option will present the login screen.-w, --workDir– This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), changes the location (and/or name) of the .minecraft folder.- Can be used to create a portable installation of the game. For example,
--workDir .(or--workDir=.) can be used to make the launcher use the current directory (no matter what the current folder is called).
- Can be used to create a portable installation of the game. For example,
--nativeLauncherVersion--tmpDir– This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), changes the location (and/or name) of the tmp folder.-l, --lockDir- This option, followed by a path, will restrict the installation directory to a specified folder.--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- This option changes where the host of the proxy is.--proxyPort- This option changes the default port from80to a custom one.--disableGPU- This disables GPU acceleration in the launcher, which might fix issues when playing minecraft.--debugGPU- This opens up a new window showing debug information, like "Graphic Feature Stats", which shows if Hardware acceleration is enabled on certain features, and an option to copy the content to the clipboard. This things might be useful for troubleshooting purposes, for a lot of info is stored there.

'''Kelp''' is an underwater plant that generates in most [[ocean]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Kelp naturally generates in any [[ocean]] [[biome]]s (except in [[Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen]] and [[Warm Ocean|warm]]), near and around [[seagrass]]. Each chunk has {{frac|1|18}} chance to generate a [[vegetation]] of kelp.
=== Breaking ===
Kelp can be mined instantly with any [[tool]] or with the player's fist. Removing water from the kelp block destroys the kelp. Breaking one part of a kelp stalk destroys all kelp [[block]]s above it. Each block drops a kelp [[item (entity)|item]].
=== Trading ===
Kelp can be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 emeralds.
== Usage ==
Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}}. Placing it by hand gives it a random {{code|age}} value between 0 and 24. Kelp can be placed only in [[water]] source blocks or downward-flowing water, not horizontally flowing water.
When placed in downward-flowing water, the flowing water transforms into a water source block,<ref>{{bug|MC-134229}}</ref> which is useful for faster [[bubble column]] elevator creation.
Any building block can be placed on top of a kelp plant, which is useful for building structures over a deep ocean without needing to build from the ocean floor (see also [[lily pad]]).
=== Cooking ingredient ===
{{smelting
| showname = 1
| Kelp
| Dried Kelp
| 0.1
}}
=== Composting ===
Placing kelp into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
=== Growth mechanics ===
Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks. It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or, {{in|Java}}, flowing water above it.<ref>{{bug|MC-133354}}</ref> Neither [[player]]s nor [[dispenser]]s can remove the water source block that kelp grows in without breaking the kelp first.
Kelp does not require any [[light]] level to grow. Kelp also grows without having [[sky]] access. [[Bone meal]] can be used to grow kelp by 1 block on each use.
Kelp, when planted, is generated with a randomly chosen age value, which can be checked when pressing [[Debug screen|<kbd>F3</kbd>]]{{only|java}}. The age value of a newly planted kelp plant varies randomly from 0 to 24. Each time the kelp grows in height by one block, the newly generated top of the kelp plant increases its age by 1. When the top block of the kelp plant reaches an age of 25, it stops growing. This means that kelp can naturally grow to a height between 2 (if the first kelp plant had an age of 24) and 26 blocks (if the first kelp plant had an age of 0).
When a kelp plant block is broken, the age of the kelp plant block underneath is randomized to a value from 0 to 24 and the kelp continues growing until it reaches age 25. It is possible to use this mechanic to cultivate a kelp plant to increase its growth height beyond its natural maximum height of 26 blocks. This can be done by breaking the top-most block of the kelp plant each time it reaches age 25. A kelp plant cultivated by a player in this way repeatedly grows until it reaches the water surface.
Each time it receives a [[random tick]], kelp has a 14% chance of growing.
If [[shears]] are used on the topmost block of kelp, that block automatically sets its {{cd|age}} value to {{cd|25}} and stop growing.{{only|JE}}
=== Farming ===
{{Main|Tutorials/Kelp farming}}
Kelp farming is similar to farming [[sugar cane]], although kelp must be placed underwater. Automation of harvest is easier because items float up in water.

== Trivia ==
* In real life, [[wikipedia:kelp|kelp]] is not considered a [[wikipedia:plant|plant]]. It is classified by scientists as a [[wikipedia:Brown algae|brown algae]].
** Kelp in real life absorbs nutrients directly from the water, instead of through its root-like structure, [[wikipedia:Holdfast (biology)|holdfast]], which merely attaches it to the seabed. This is in accordance with kelp being able to grow on almost any solid block in ''Minecraft''.

Shields may also be repaired on an [[anvil]] by using [[planks]] or another shield. Shields repaired on anvils retain their pattern.
=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level armorer [[villager]]s have {{frac|1|3}}{{only|Bedrock|short=1}}/{{frac|2|5}}{{only|Java|short=1}} chance of selling a shield for 5 [[emerald]]s as their sixth trade.
== Usage ==
Despite using iron in its crafting recipe, it cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>
=== Defense ===
Shields are used for [[blocking]] incoming attacks. {{control|Using}}{{Only|Java|short=1}} or {{Control|sneaking}}{{Only|Bedrock|short=1}} causes a player to slow to a [[sneaking]] pace, and after {{convert|5|ticks|seconds}}<ref>{{bug|MC-100949||Shield blocking is delayed}}</ref>, attacks coming from in front of the player are blocked, dealing no damage. When the shield blocks an attack of {{hp|3}} or stronger, it takes durability damage equal to the strength of the attack rounded up.
Most blocked projectiles that carry status effects (such as [[Shulker#Shulker bullet|shulker bullets]]{{only|java|short=1}}, flaming [[arrow]]s, or tipped arrows) do not affect the blocker. [[Trident]]s & arrows can be deflected into other targets. Knockback from melee attacks and projectiles is prevented, while knockback from [[explosion]]s, [[hoglin]], and [[ravager]] attacks are significantly reduced.
The shield directionally blocks all attacks coming from within the FOV of the direction the wielder is facing, providing a full hemisphere of coverage to them. If the wielder faces straight up, they are likely to miss their blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-109101||Shields do not block damage while the player faces straight up}}</ref><!--straight down fix: MC-92019-->
Mobs that deal continuous contact damage such as the slime, magma cube, and blaze rapidly drain the shield's durability for as long as the shielded player remains within the mob's hitbox.<ref>{{bug|MC-169167}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-119451}}</ref>
Blockable attacks include:
*Melee attacks, except by a warden, axe-wielding mobs or by a sprinting player wielding an axe, however even without sprinting an axe still greatly decreases the durability
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Normal, tipped, and spectral [[arrow]]s
** Arrows other than [[Piercing]] are totally deflected and can hit other targets.
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
***This can be used to damage the attacker or another mob down there.
*[[Flame|Flaming arrows]]
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*[[Trident]]s
*[[Snowball]]s and [[egg]]s
*Spines from [[pufferfish]]
*Bullets from [[shulker]]s
** The levitation effect does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Spit from [[llama]]s
*[[Fireball]]s, such as from [[blaze]]s and [[fire charge]]s
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker.
*Direct hits from [[ghast]] [[fireball]]s
** These still cause environmental damage.
*All explosions{{only|JE|short=1}}
*Explosion damage from [[creeper]]s
*[[TNT]] that another player lit
*[[Ravager]] headbutts
** These still knock the blocker back by about 3 blocks.
** Blocking these strikes can stun the ravager for a moment, and it roars afterward.
*Ravager roars are blocked but still knock back the blocker.
*[[Bee]] stings are blocked, but bees continuously attack until the player stops blocking and the player is stung.
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s (only reduces damage by 50%)
They cannot block:
*Arrows from a [[crossbow]] enchanted with [[Piercing]]
** This does not reduce the shield's durability.
*[[Status effect]]s from tipped arrows or shulker bullets {{only|bedrock|short=1}} <ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>
** Direct projectile damage is blocked, but the effect still carries through.
*Status effects from splash/lingering [[potion]]s, [[evoker]]s' fangs, or breath from the [[ender dragon]]
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s, or the [[warden]]'s sonic boom attack
*TNT that the blocking player lit themselves{{only|BE|short=1}}
*TNT that a [[Redstone (disambiguation)|redstone mechanism]] lit{{only|BE|short=1}}
*[[Fall damage]], including that from [[ender pearl]]s
** This also includes when the player rides an [[entity]] that died due to fall damage.
*Strikes from a warden or any [[axe]]-wielding mob (e.g., [[vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, [[zombie]]s after disabling players shield they attack another time immediately)
** Such strikes disable being able to use shields for 5 seconds.
=== Applying patterns ===
[[File:Cyan Shield Screenshot.png|250px|thumb|A custom shield.]]
Shields can be decorated by applying a [[banner]].

Unlike with [[banner]]s, shields cannot be repainted or washed in a [[cauldron]]. Shields have only half the resolution of banners, making patterns look slightly different. In the game files, the pattern textures can be found in a separate directory called entity/shield.
{{IN|java}}, shields with patterns can also be obtained using the same commands as banners, except <code>banner</code> has to be replaced with <code>shield</code>.
=== Enchantments ===
A shield can receive the following [[enchantments]], but only through an [[anvil]]:

An '''explorer map''' is a special [[map]] used to aid in finding rare [[generated structures]], including [[woodland mansion]]s, [[ocean monument]]s, and [[buried treasure]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Trading ===
Apprentice-level [[cartographer]] villagers sell ocean explorer maps for 13 emeralds and a compass. Journeyman-level cartographer villagers sell woodland explorer maps for 14 emeralds and a compass.
{{IN|java}}, if the cartographer is in [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], either spawned or transported, the trades for the map do not unlock. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the cartographer trades for the map are unlocked, but the purchased map shows the same layout as in the corresponding dimension and shows no destination structure, but if cartographer trades are unlocked in an old world type (prior-1.11.0), the game stops ticking.
In ''Java Edition'', each cartographer sells its own unique explorer map that points to a different location than other cartographers. Purchasing another explorer map from the same cartographer results in the same explorer map. In Bedrock Edition, a cartographer sells an explorer map that points to the nearest location, regardless of whether it is explored or previously mapped by another cartographer.<!-- start to glitched out-->
=== Chest loot ===
Treasure maps, in contrast to explorer maps, generate in underwater ruins or in shipwrecks.
{{LootChestItem|buried-treasure-map}}
== Usage ==
[[File:Explorer Map Comparison.gif|thumb|217px|Unexplored and partially explored maps.]]
{{See also|Map#Mapping|Map#Map content}}
=== Locating structures ===
There are three types of explorer maps: woodland, [[ocean]], and buried treasure. The maps differ from a normal map, in that it shows the area's land-water outline, with an orange striated (striped) texture for water<ref>Specifically, biomes in the "water_on_map_outlines" [[Tag#Biomes|biome tag]].</ref>, and the blank map texture for land. The maps show a section of land that contains a [[woodland mansion]], [[monument]] or [[buried treasure]] respectively. This may not be the nearest such [[structure]] to the [[player]]. The structures are displayed as a small icon. If the player icon is smaller than it would be on a normal map, that means the player is a great distance away. When the player is less than 1027 blocks away from the map border, the icon returns to the proper size. When the player reaches the map's area of land (512×512), the [[map]] fills in like a normal map.
The basic functions of a buried treasure explorer map are similar to that of the other two. However, instead of showing the structure icon on the map, it shows a red X instead. The [[buried treasure]] structure is located on the same X and Z coordinates as the middle of the X (the player marker may need to be aligned with the bottom of the middle 2×2 pixel square of the X). To locate the [[chest]] spot, hold the treasure map with both hands, not in the offhand slot.

The parts of the world that have already been explored and mapped are copied, and newly explored areas appear on both instances. In Creative mode, cloned explorer maps can be obtained by pick blocking on the explorer map displayed on [[item frames]] (the map needs to be out of the [[player]]'s inventory when using pick block, or else that map moves into the active hotbar slot).

=== Metadata ===
{{see also|Bedrock Edition data values}}
{{IN|bedrock}}, the item [[Data value]] distinguishes explorer maps from one another:
{{:Map/DV}}
=== Item data ===
An explorer map differs from a map in that its <code>display</code> tag is set, which includes a <code>Mapcolor</code> and a <code>LocName</code>; also its <code>Decorations</code> list includes an entry for its target monument, mansion or buried treasure. Its [[Map item format#map_<#>.dat format|map item entry]] is identical to that of a normal map, except that by the time the player sees it, its <code>colors</code> byte array is pre-filled with explorer maps' characteristic land-water boundary lines and water shading.
<div class="treeview">
It should be noted that this additional data is stored in the Cartographer's NBT data and in the inventory item's NBT data, and not in the map file (e.g. <samp>map_0.dat</samp>). If the [[player]] were to use the {{cmd|give}} command to give themselves a map with the same map ID as an existing explorer map, it would still have the Ocean Monument or the Woodland Mansion icon on the map, but it would simply be named "Map" instead of, for example, "Ocean Explorer Map".
* {{nbt|compound}} Item data
** {{nbt|compound|tag}}:
*** {{nbt|compound|display}}: How the map looks in an item slot. See also [[Player.dat_format#Display Properties]].
**** {{nbt|string|Name}}: The name the map is given. In this case, they are localized strings: either <code>{"translate":"filled_map.monument"}</code>,<code>{"translate":"filled_map.mansion"}</code> or <code>{"translate":"filled_map.buried_treasure"}</code>.
**** {{nbt|int|MapColor}}: Color codes are calculated from the Red, Green and Blue components using this formula:<br>'''<span style="color:red">Red</span>[[wikipedia:Logical shift|<<]]16 + <span style="color:green">Green</span><<8 + <span style="color:blue">Blue</span>'''.<ref group=note>For positive values larger than 0x00FFFFFF, the top byte is ignored. All negative values produce white.</ref> Monument maps use 3830373, which is {{color swatch|58|114|101}}. Mansion maps use 5393476, which is {{color swatch|82|76|68}}. Buried treasure explorer maps do not use a color code.
*** {{nbt|list|Decorations}}:
**** {{nbt|compound}}: One of these for each icon on the map. Explorer maps always have at least one representing their target.
***** {{nbt|string|id}}: An arbitrary unique string identifying the decoration. For explorer map target structures, this is "+".
***** {{nbt|double|rot}}: The rotation of the icon. For explorer map target structures, this is always 180.
***** {{nbt|byte|type}}: The ID of the [[Map#Map icons|map icon]]: 8 for a mansion map, 9 for a monument map, 26 for a treasure map.
***** {{nbt|double|x}}: The world x-coordinate of the target structure icon.
***** {{nbt|double|z}}: The world z-coordinate of the target structure icon.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* When a [[cartographer]] generates the trade offers for the explorer maps, it chooses the location of one of the nearest structures of the respective type ([[monument]] or [[woodland mansion]]).
* For the reason above, explorer maps obtained from one cartographer are always the same. Also, if two cartographers unlock the explorer map trades approximately at the same place and at the same time, the map locations are usually identical. This sometimes also happens when finding multiple treasure maps from [[ocean ruins]].
* Explorer maps fill as the [[chunk]]s are generated, rather than when the [[player]] holds them while in the area; leaving an explorer map while exploring the area still fills the map.
* Buried treasure explorer maps are named ''Buried Treasure Map'' {{in|java}} while {{in|bedrock}}, they are named ''Treasure Map''.
* It is possible for a cartographer to give a monument or woodland mansion explorer map for areas where the [[generated structures|structures]] would have spawned in the world, but were unable to as a result of terrain generation. As a result, explorer maps, unfortunately, don't always guarantee that a structure exists at the purported location. This is most common with woodland mansion explorer maps, due to its generation algorithm.
* On [[Bedrock Edition]], inventory editors and add-ons can be used to create Explorer Maps that lead to any structure.

'''Super fertilizer''' is a powerful form of [[bone meal]] that is created using ammonia and phosphorus.

== Usage ==
Super fertilizer can be used in the same way as normal bone meal. It produces more flowers in a larger area when used on [[grass block]]s compared to bone meal. When super fertilizer is used on a [[sapling]], a tree is instantly grown after one use, instead of multiple uses as with bone meal. Super fertilizer matures crops with just one single use.
Note that super fertilizer doesn't instantly a hanging [[mangrove propagule]], likely due to a bug.

'''Charcoal''' is an [[item]] obtained by smelting [[log]]s or [[wood]]. It is used as fuel, or for crafting [[torch]]es and [[campfire]]s. Unlike [[coal]], charcoal cannot be traded with [[villager]]s or crafted into a [[block of coal]]. Coal and charcoal also cannot stack together. It can be used as a substitute for coal, as both charcoal and coal have an equivalent duration when smelted.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A [[campfire]] broken without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment drops 2 charcoal.

=== Fuel ===
When used in a [[furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of charcoal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), the same as coal. Charcoal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[wood planks]] or [[wood]] logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting in ''[[Java Edition]]'', but outstripped by [[wooden slabs]] in Bedrock.
Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecart with Furnace|furnace minecarts]]. They provide approximately four minutes of transit each.

{{ctrl|Using}} a sparkler ignites it, causing its texture to change. When lit, the sparkler emits colored [[particles]]; the [[durability]] meter depletes while the sparkler is burning. Sparklers are one of the few [[item]]s that can be held in the [[off-hand]] {{in|be}}. Unlit sparklers have normal lighting like most items, while lit sparklers appear to glow when held in the player's hand, similarly to [[glow stick]]s.
When the [[player]] uses another item while a sparkler is lit, or holds the sparkler in the off-hand, the sparkler's durability stops depleting.
If the player has a lit sparkler in their [[inventory]] and goes into the [[water]], the sparkler is destroyed immediately. However, it does not get destroyed if dropped in water. It also cannot float.
Despite having durability, sparklers cannot be enchanted with [[Unbreaking]] or [[Mending]].

'''Tropical fish''' is a [[food]] item that cannot be cooked.
== Obtaining ==
=== Fishing ===
Tropical fish can be obtained from [[fishing]]. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the [[Lure]] enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).
Tropical fish cannot be caught when fishing in [[jungle]] biome and variants.{{only|bedrock}}
<!--1-6 exp-->
=== Mob drops ===
[[Guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s have a 2.5% chance of dropping a random fish upon death. This has a 2% chance of being tropical fish. The chance of getting the fish drop can be increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], but the type of fish is not affected.
[[Tropical fish]] always drop 1 tropical fish in its item form when killed. This drop is not affected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-212795||Salmon & Fish mobs are not affected by Looting}}</ref>
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
Tropical fish restores {{hunger|1}} [[hunger]] and 0.2 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
=== Trading ===
Expert-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a {{frac|1|7}} chance to buy a single tropical fish for one [[emerald]].{{only|bedrock}}
Expert-level fisherman villagers always offer to buy 6 tropical fish for an emerald.{{only|java}}
=== Wolves ===
{{IN|Bedrock}}, tropical fish can be used to feed [[wolves]], healing them by {{hp|1|mob=1}}. However, unlike other wolf food, tropical fish cannot be used to breed or speed up the growth of baby wolves. Tropical fish can be fed only to a wolf that is not at full health.

'''A very fine item''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], found only in the {{code|isolation}} dimension.
== Appearance ==
The texture of a very fine item resembles the side face of a grass block with the words "Home Sweet Home" written on it. Unlike most items, its texture is 64x64 pixels, rather than the usual 16x16.
== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
A very fine item can only be obtained from an item frame in the {{Code|isolation}} dimension. There is a maximum of 1 fine item that can be found legitimately in any world.
=== Cheats/Creative mode ===
This item can't be found in the creative inventory, but it can be middle-click duplicated in creative mode or given with the {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:fine_item <amount>}} command.
== Usage ==
This item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. It can still be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame.

'''Chains''' are metallic decoration [[block]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Chains can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{breaking row|Chain|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1}}
=== Natural generation ===
Chains generate in [[bastion remnant]]s and sometimes in [[ruined portal]]s that generate in the Nether. They always generate above [[magma cube]] spawners, also found in [[bastion]]s.
Chains can also generate in [[mineshafts]]. They generate on the sides of a wooden bridge (a mid-air corridor) when the distance between the bridge and the highest solid block below it is higher than the distance to the lowest solid block above it. Chains here generate vertically in a pillar between the bridge and the ceiling. The lowest block of the pillar, connecting the chain to the bridge, is always an [[oak fence]].

{{LootChestItem|chain}}
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|B1=Iron Nugget
|B2=Iron Ingot
|B3=Iron Nugget
|Output=Chain
|type=Building block
}}
== Usage ==
Chains can be used to suspend [[bell]]s, [[hanging sign]]s, or both types of [[lantern]]s (normal lanterns and soul lanterns), as the chain texture connects to the chain of the lantern seamlessly as if it were part of it, and it connects the hanging sign chains together. Chains do not require a supporting block to be placed whether it is on the top, next to it or at the bottom. It can exist completely free-standing in mid air<ref>{{bug|MC-178791}}</ref> and it can be rotated. Chains connect horizontally or vertically, but not across different orientations (so a chain with N orientation does not connect to a chain with E orientation in the adjacent block).
Horizontal chains one block above a surface may be walked over. Horizontal chains two blocks above a surface prevent players from traveling past them. Vertical chains block travel if targeted directly, but may be skirted.
Precision is required, but chains can be walked on, allowing for inconspicuous, although somewhat costly, bridges.
Chains can be pushed by [[piston]]s without being broken.

| February 24, 2020 | With launcher version 2.1.1230x, a new section for the game Minecraft Dungeons was added where one could sign up for its beta. This is the first time the Minecraft launcher includes a game other than Minecraft: Java Edition. | ||||
| October 21, 2020 | It is announced that Java Edition will soon be using Microsoft accounts for added security enhancements. With this, all Mojang Studios accounts will be migrated to Microsoft accounts.[8][9] Since December 1, 2020, new players are no longer able to sign up for a Mojang Studios account; they are instead required to use or create a Microsoft account to buy and play the game. | ||||
| November 27, 2020 | With launcher version 2.2.74x it is now "Unified" and one can now log in with a Microsoft Account and launch Minecraft Dungeons, which previously required a separate launcher.[10] | ||||

Trivia
- In version 2.2.2529 release notes there's text, that reads: T⍑ᒷ ᔑ ̇/𝙹ꖎ𝙹ℸ ̣ ꖎᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ|| ᓭᒷᒷᒲ - which after translations means "THE AXOLOTS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM".
- Both Alpha and Classic versions of Minecraft: Java Edition are listed as "old_alpha", despite them not being the same.[11]
- The launcher doesn't store passwords locally. Instead, it uses a 'refresh token'.
- The current launcher is the eighth launcher for Minecraft: Java Edition, and the third that was built to automatically update itself.
- Game crashes are reported to Mojang Studios through Hopper.
- The legacy launcher can be downloaded here (version 1.6.93, ~4.6MB as opposed to the modern launcher's ~85MB). However, the legacy launcher is incompatible with Microsoft accounts and will be discontinued in Q2 2021 due to account migration.
