Minecraft Launcher

"Launcher" redirects here. For other uses, see Launcher (disambiguation).

Template:Infobox The Minecraft Launcher is the game downloader and launcher for Minecraft: Java Edition and one of the game downloaders and launchers for Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition) and Minecraft Dungeons. It is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, but Minecraft for Windows can be played only on Windows 10/11, and Minecraft Dungeons only on Windows 7+.

Features

The initial login screen

On the initial login screen, users must log in with a pre-existing Microsoft account, otherwise they can create a new one by clicking the link. Subsequent logins can be done in the "Settings" tab. If a user attempts to log in with a Mojang Studios or legacy Minecraft account, they will be directed to migrate to a Microsoft account.

On the left side, a "News" tab, a tab for each game, and the Minecraft Launcher "Settings" tab can be seen.

The top left corner of the Minecraft Launcher contains the user's Xbox gamertag for the currently active account (which might differ from their Minecraft: 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 resources.

Minecraft: Java Edition

The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch Minecraft: Java Edition 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 appears as a "Play demo" button that downloads and launches 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 (or launcher_profiles_microsoft_store.json when using the new Minecraft Launcher for Windows) 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.

Before, it was possible for the users to manually set a logging configuration (see Debugging on wiki.vg for more info), however this doesn't seem to work anymore.

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.

Backward compatibility

Selecting older versions in the create new installation screen.

The Minecraft 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 Minecraft Launcher settings tab. Because these versions are outdated and unsupported, they may contain bugs and errors that 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.

Once historical versions are enabled, the following can be accessed:

• Most beta versions.
• Most alpha versions.
• One infdev version.
• Four classic versions.
• Five pre-classic versions.

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.
• In Alpha 1.0.15 and from Alpha 1.2.0 to Alpha 1.2.6, the Minecraft 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 difficult to play, as a player's location and inventory is reset every time they relaunch their client.

• In Alpha 1.2.5 and Alpha 1.2.6 specifically, players are always named "Player524". Playing multiplayer in these versions is impossible, as joining a server kicks off 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 is either 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 purchasing the game displays a button that redirects to the Minecraft: Java Edition store page.

Minecraft for Windows

The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition) with the "Play" button, and also includes the user's Xbox Gamertag on the right, and a list of the latest news for the game from minecraft.net below.

• 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 is on an unsupported device, a warning appears with a link to a website with supported devices.
• If the user isn't logged into an account that has purchased the game, the "Play" button appears as a "Play demo" button that links the player to the Microsoft Store to download and launch the demo version of the game.

There is an "FAQ" section with frequently asked questions and answers about the Minecraft Launcher and Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition), an "Installation" section to repair or uninstall the game, and a "Patch notes" section where the patch notes of the game's updates can be seen (not including beta versions).

Minecraft Dungeons

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 Minecraft 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. If the player is not playing on the supported platform, a small message on the bottom is 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 Minecraft 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 Minecraft Launcher.

The FAQ section is shown when pressing the FAQ tab. There is a list of troubleshooting sections and a link to the Minecraft Dungeons FAQ on the Minecraft Help Center.

Installation

Visiting this section without the game purchased displays a button that redirects to the Minecraft Dungeons buy page. If bought, it shows an uninstall button and a repair button.

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 displays the patch notes.

Settings

The "About" section in the Minecraft Launcher settings.

In the main "General" section, users can:

• Change the Minecraft Launcher language. There are 66 languages available, including 2 joke languages (as of February 2021).
• Use the beta version of the Minecraft Launcher, which requires restarting the launcher to start downloading if there is one available.
• Keep the Minecraft Launcher open while games are running.
• Enable animations in the Minecraft 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 accounts.

The "About" section contains details about the Minecraft 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

The Minecraft Launcher can be invoked using the command line by typing %ProgramFiles(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 Minecraft 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 displays 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 presents 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 Minecraft Launcher use the current directory (no matter what the current folder is called).
• --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, restricts the installation directory to a specified folder.
• --winTen – This option adds support for Windows 10. Since the Minecraft 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 from 80 to a custom one.
• --disableGPU - This disables GPU acceleration in the Minecraft 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. These might be useful for troubleshooting purposes.

Uninstalling the old Minecraft Unified Launcher

Source: "Uninstalling the Old Minecraft Unified Launcher" – Minecraft Help Center.

This applies only to players using Windows 10 or newer. Older versions of Windows are not able to use the new Minecraft Launcher for Windows. With the addition of a new launcher, you can uninstall the old launcher to remove any confusion between the two. For clarity, the new launcher is referred to as the "Minecraft Launcher for Windows" and the old launcher as the "Minecraft Unified Launcher".

How to uninstall the Minecraft Unified Launcher (old launcher):

1. Click the start menu in Windows (windows icon in the bottom left).
2. Type in "Add or remove programs" and click the top entry.
3. Search for "Minecraft Launcher". The launcher to uninstall displays Mojang underneath the title "Minecraft Launcher".
4. Click the three dots shown to the left of the "Minecraft Launcher" title and select "Uninstall".

Now only one launcher should be installed. Run the Minecraft Launcher for Windows to ensure it still works; if it doesn't, reinstall using the Microsoft Store.

Launcher or game mods may need to be migrated or re-installed to the new Minecraft Launcher for Windows installation location before uninstalling the old launcher. Check with the mod developer for more detail.

One gold nugget is effectively worth one-ninth of a gold ingot. == Obtaining == === Mob loot === [[Zombified Piglin|Zombified piglin]]s, when killed, may drop 0-1 gold nuggets. When killed using a weapon enchanted with [[Looting]], they may drop an additional gold nugget per level of Looting used, up to a maximum of 4. === Crafting === {{Crafting |Gold Ingot |Output= Gold Nugget, 9 |type= Material }} === Smelting === {{Smelting |Golden Sword; {Any golden tools}; {Any golden armor}; Golden Horse Armor |Gold Nugget |0,25 }} === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|gold-nugget}} === Mining === [[Nether gold ore]] mined using a [[pickaxe]] drops 2-6 gold nuggets. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it has a 33.3% chance to multiply the drops by 2, Fortune II has a 25% chance to multiply the drops by 2 or 3 and Fortune III has a 20% chance each to multiply the drops by 2, 3, or 4 for a maximum possible drop of 24 golden nuggets. The average drop rate for a Fortune III pickaxe is 8.8, while the drop rate for a [[Silk Touch]] pickaxe is a single ingot, or a flat rate of 9. It is slightly more efficient to mine with a Silk Touch pickaxe. [[Gilded Blackstone|Gilded blackstone]] mined using a pickaxe has a 10% chance to drop 2-5 gold nuggets. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune I, the chance gold nuggets drop is increased 14.29%, Fortune II increases the drop chance to 25%, and Fortune III guarantees the drop. == Usage == Gold nuggets can be used to craft a [[golden carrot]] or [[glistering melon]] for brewing. Also, gold nuggets can be combined with gunpowder and dye to create a [[firework star]] that bursts in a star-shaped explosion. [[Piglin]]s instantly pick up any gold nuggets that are within 1 [[block]] of them. Unlike other gold-related items, they do not intentionally seek out gold nuggets to pick up and only pick them up if they walk near it. Unlike gold ingots, gold nuggets picked up are dropped upon the piglin's death. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Gold Nugget |spritetype=item |nameid=gold_nugget |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Gold Nugget |spritetype=item |nameid=gold_nugget |id=425 |form=item |foot=1}} == History == {{History|Java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease|[[File:Gold Nugget JE1.png|32px]] Added gold nuggets. |Gold nuggets are [[drops|dropped]] by [[zombie pigmen]]. |Gold nuggets can be used to craft [[gold ingot]]s. |Gold nuggets currently do not have a mouseover name.}} {{History|||snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2|Gold nuggets now have a mouseover name.}} {{History|||snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4|Gold nuggets are now used to craft [[glistering melon]]s. |Gold nuggets can now be [[crafting|crafted]] from a single [[gold ingot]].}} {{History||1.1|snap=release|Normal [[golden apple]]s are now crafted with gold nuggets.}} {{History||1.3.1|snap=1.3|[[File:Gold Nugget JE2 BE1.png|32px]] The texture of gold nuggets has been changed.}} {{History||1.4.2|snap=12w34a|Gold nuggets are now used to craft [[golden carrot]]s.}} {{History||1.4.6|snap=12w49a|Gold nuggets can now be used to craft a [[firework star]] for a star shaped effect on a [[firework rocket|firework]].}} {{History||1.6.1|snap=13w23a|Gold nuggets can no longer be used to [[crafting|craft]] a [[golden apple]].}} {{History||1.9|snap=15w43a|Gold nuggets may now be found among the loot in [[igloo]] basement [[chest]]s.}} {{History||1.11.1|snap=16w50a|Gold nuggets can now be [[smelting|smelted]] from golden [[tool]]s and [[armor]].}} {{History||1.13|snap=17w47a|Prior to [[1.13/Flattening|''The Flattening'']], this [[item]]'s numeral ID was 371.}} {{History|||snap=18w09a|Gold nuggets can now be found in [[underwater ruins]] loot [[chest]]s.}} {{History|||snap=18w11a|Gold nuggets now generate in the chests of [[shipwreck]]s.}} {{History||1.14|snap=18w43a|[[File:Gold Nugget JE3 BE2.png|32px]] The texture of gold nuggets has been changed.}} {{History|||snap=18w48a|Gold nuggets can now be found in chests in [[plains]] [[village]] houses.}} {{History|||snap=18w49a|Gold nuggets can now be found in chests in [[savanna]] village houses.}} {{History||1.16|snap=20w12a|[[Nether gold ore]] now [[drops]] 2-6 gold nuggets, affected by [[Fortune]].}} {{History|||snap=20w15a|[[Gilded blackstone]] now has 10% chance to drop 2-5 gold nuggets.

that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s. == Obtaining == === Breaking === Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}} A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref> If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation. === Natural generation === An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair. === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}} === Crafting === [[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs. {{Crafting |head=1 |showdescription=1 |nolink=1 |A1= Matching Planks |B1= Matching Planks |C1= Matching Planks |A2= Matching Planks |B2= Matching Planks |C2= Matching Planks |B3= Stick |Output=Matching Sign,3 |type=Decoration block }} {{Crafting |name= Hanging Sign |A1= Chain |C1= Chain |A2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |B2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |C2= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |A3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |B3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |C3= Matching Stripped Log or Stem; Block of Stripped Bamboo |Output= Matching Hanging Sign,6; Bamboo Hanging Sign,6 |type=Decoration block |foot=1 }} == Usage == Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids. === Placement === ==== Signs ==== Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign. Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign. Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother. For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]]. ==== Hanging signs ==== Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways: * Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions. * Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block. ** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions. ** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions. === Text === [[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]] Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters. Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front. Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited. After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}} [[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]] A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" |+ class="nowrap" | Glow ink colors !Name !! Main Color !!

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this. {{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks. {{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs. : Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}} Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command. === Interaction === Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}. Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}} Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign. [[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}). === Fuel === Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign. === Note Blocks === Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds. == Sounds == === Generic === ====

Lava may be obtained [[renewable resource|renewably]] from [[cauldron]]s, as [[pointed dripstone]] with a lava source above it can slowly fill a cauldron with lava. === Natural generation === During world generation, lava replaces [[air]] blocks generated in [[cave]]s and [[canyon]]s between Y=-55 and Y=-63. [[Aquifer]]s are sometimes filled with lava below Y=0. Lava does not replace air blocks inside [[mineshaft]]s, [[monster room]]s, [[amethyst geode]]s, or [[stronghold]]s. Lava can also occur as lava flows from a single [[spring]] block, pouring down walls into pools. The spring block can be on the side of a cave, ravine, mineshaft, or stone cliff above ground. Lava also generates as small [[lava lake]]s, which can be found above Y=0 within any [[biome]]. Two blocks of lava can also be found in plains, snowy plains, and desert [[village]] weaponsmith buildings, or one source in savanna village weaponsmith buildings. Fifteen blocks of lava can be found in the [[end portal]] room of a [[stronghold]]: 3 along each side wall, and 9 below the portal frame. Lava also generates in [[woodland mansion]]s: two blocks of lava generate in the "blacksmith room", and 25 blocks of lava generate in a secret "lava room". In [[the Nether]], lava is more common than [[water]] in the [[Overworld]]. [[Terrain features#Lava sea|Seas of lava]] occur, with sea level at y-level 32, about a quarter of the total height of the Nether (as the usable space in the Nether is 128 blocks tall). They can extend down to about y-level 19-22. Lava also randomly appears [[Spring#Hidden lava|in single blocks]] inside [[netherrack]] formations. Lava is also generated as a single source in well rooms in [[nether fortress]]es. There are also large pockets of lava generated under y-19 and can reach all the way down to bedrock level. These pockets are generally over 12 blocks in height and often connect to a large lava lake on y-32; the size of these pockets in 1.18 can range from the size of a singular pre-1.18 ravine to multiple ravines combined. Lava generates as [[delta]] shapes, which can be found commonly in the [[basalt deltas]] biome. Lava also generates in [[ruined portal]]s and [[bastion remnant]]s. === Post-generation === Unlike [[Water#Source blocks|water source blocks]], new lava source blocks cannot be created in a space by two or more adjacent source blocks. However {{in|Java}}, if the [[game rule]] {{cd|lavaSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|true}}, new lava source blocks can form in a similar way to water source blocks. == Usage == === Fuel === When used in a [[furnace]], a bucket of lava lasts 1000 seconds (100 items). === Burning === [[File:Inside Lava.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava.]] [[File:Under lava fire resistance.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance {{in|java}}.]] Most [[entity|entities]] take {{hp|4}} damage every half-second while in contact with lava, and are set on [[fire]]. An entity/player in lava will also have its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} set to 300, setting it on fire for 15 seconds. This timer is reset to 300 every tick that the victim spends in lava, so it will only start counting down once the victim leaves the lava. Once the victim does exit the lava source, it will burn for just under 15 seconds, taking fire damage 14 times. This is due to the fact that for the first tick outside of lava, its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} decrease to 299, and entities take fire damage when {{code|remainingFireTicks}} is a multiple of 20 and greater than 0. If the victim touches water or [[rain]] falls on it, the fire is extinguished, but the lava continues to damage them directly. In addition, a dense [[fog]] effect will be applied for players under lava to obscure vision. This can be slightly mitigated via the [[Fire Resistance]] effect. An entity/player moving in lava has their horizontal movement speed reduced by 50% and their vertical movement speed reduced by 20%. {{IN|bedrock}}, a player with the Fire Resistance effect or a total [[Fire Protection]] of 7 or higher does not catch fire. [[Vex]]es, [[zoglin]]s, Nether [[mob]]s (excluding [[piglin]]s and [[hoglin]]s), [[Wither|withers]], [[Warden|wardens]], and players or mobs affected by the [[Fire Resistance]] effect are not damaged when touching lava. The embers or fireballs that fly out of lava are purely decorative and do not cause fires or damage to entities. When rain falls on lava, the black ember particles appear more frequently. A player in lava lasts a few seconds before dying: ==== ''Java Edition'' ==== * 2.5 seconds with no armor * 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments * 4 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments * 4.5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments * 5.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments * 10.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments * 11 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments ==== Bedrock Edition==== * 2.5 seconds with no armor * 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments * 4.5 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments * 5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments * 6.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments * 12.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments * 12.5 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments If the player is wearing armor enchanted with [[Fire Protection]], they can last even longer. With the maximum bonus, the damage is small enough that the natural healing from a full hunger bar can outpace it {{only|JE|short=1}}, so a player could survive indefinitely as long as they have food and their armor holds up (non-netherite armor is damaged by lava). This maximum bonus can be obtained by wearing 2 pieces of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 1 with [[Protection|Protection IV]], or 1 piece of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 3 with [[Protection|Protection IV]]. ==== Fire spread ==== Lava can cause fires by turning air blocks to fire blocks. In order for air above lava to turn to fire, a block adjacent to the air has to be [[Fire#Burning blocks|flammable]], or one of the wood-constructed [[Fire#Non-flammable blocks|non-flammable]] blocks. Since catching fire depends on air blocks, even torches or lava itself can prevent a flammable block from catching fire. Additionally, not all flammable or wood-constructed blocks can be ignited by lava. The lava of any depth can start fires this way, whether or not it appears to have a current. Additional conditions must be met, depending on the edition of Minecraft. ===== Java Edition ===== {{FakeImage|align=right|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|L=lava|w=Oak Planks|p=Orange Stained Glass|s=Light Gray Stained Glass|wwwwwwwww|wwsssssww|wspppppsw|wwspppsww|wwwsLswww|wwwwwwwww}}|Example for JE. The orange area represents areas<br>where air could catch flame if the<br>gray and orange areas contain<br>flammable blocks. The wood<br>is all at a safe distance. }} Air block must be in a 3×1×3 area right above the lava or in a 5×1×5 2 blocks above the lava. Note that an air block in the 5x1x5 area will not catch on fire if the 3x1x3 area is completely filled, even if the latter is filled with flammable blocks. ===== Bedrock Edition ===== The block to be set on fire must be in a 3×3×3 cube centered on a lava block, above which there must be either air or an ignitable block. === Flow === {{See also|Fluid}} Lava flows from "source blocks". Most streams or "lava-falls" come from a single source block, but lava lakes (including the "flood lava" in the bottom 10 layers) are composed entirely of source blocks. A source block can be captured only with a [[lava bucket|bucket]]. In the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], lava travels 3 blocks in any horizontal direction from a source block. Lava flows far more slowly than water (1 block every 30 game ticks, or 1.5 seconds), and sourceless lava flows linger for a short time more. In [[the Nether]], lava travels 7 blocks horizontally and spreads 1 block every 10 game ticks, or 2 blocks per second, which is half the speed as water in the Overworld. In all dimensions, lava spreading uses the same mechanic as water: for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. (This can result in lava flows turning toward dropoffs that they cannot reach in the Overworld and the End.) Flowing lava destroys the following in its path: [[sapling]]s, [[cobweb]], [[tall grass]], [[dead bush]], [[wheat]], [[flower]]s, [[mushroom]]s, [[snow]] on ground (but snow blocks are immune), [[lily pad]]s, [[vines]], [[lever]]s, [[button]]s, all three types of [[torch]]es, [[redstone]], [[redstone repeater|repeaters]], [[end rod]]s, and [[rail]]s. [[Sugar cane]]s hold back lava, but disappear if the sugar cane's water source is destroyed by the lava. Lava also slows down entities, including those that are normally immune to lava damage. Using redstone wire, a one-block lava flow can be redirected by supplying power to the source block, which causes it to reset the flow toward the now-nearest terrain depression. It cannot, however, be reversed. This re-calculation is made because of the redstone wire when toggled changes the block from redstone (on) to redstone (off). Whenever a block updates on any side of the lava, the lava re-calculates where to flow, but does not cut off its current direction of flow. In Bedrock Edition using the /setblock command can be used to create stationary lava without the use of barriers. Flowing lava can push entities. ==== Flow arrangement tables ==== ===== Overworld and the End ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ | | | !4 | | | |- | | !4 !3 !4 | | |- | !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 | |- !4 !3 !2 !1 !2 !3 !4 |- | !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 | |- | | !4 !3 !4 | | |- | | | !4 | | | |} {| class="wikitable" |+ ! colspan="2" |Range !Height in blocks |- !1 |block |1 |- !2 |blocks |0.75-1 |- !3 |blocks |0.5-0.75 |- !4 |blocks |0.25-0.5 |} ===== The Nether ===== {| class="wikitable" |+ | | | | | | !7 | | | | | | |- | | | | | !7 !6 !7 | | | | | |- | | | | !7 !6 !5 !6 !7 | | | | |- | | | !7 !6 !5 !4 !5 !6 !7 | | | |- | | !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 | | |- | !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 | |- !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !2 !1 !2 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 |- | !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !2 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 | |- | | !7 !6 !5 !4 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 | | |- | | | !7 !6 !5 !4 !5 !6 !7 | | | |- | | | | !7 !6 !5 !6 !7 | | | | |- | | | | | !7 !6 !7 | | | | | |- | | | | | | !7 | | | | | | |} {| class="wikitable" ! colspan="2" |Range !Height in blocks |- !1 |block |1 |- !2 |blocks |0.75-1 |- !3 |blocks |0.625-0.75 |- !4 |blocks |0.5-0.625 |- !5 |blocks |0.375-0.5 |- !6 |blocks |0.25-0.375 |- !7 |blocks |0.125-0.25 |} === Lava and water === {{Main|Fluid#Mixing}} Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. Lava can also generate basalt when above soul soil and touching blue ice. === Light source === Lava blocks emit a [[light]] level of 15. === Other === [[File:LavaDropletsExample.png|thumb|If there is lava flowing above a [[block]], the lava seeps through.]] Lava above a non-transparent block (does ''not'' include stairs, fences, and slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. These droplets do not do anything other than warn the player that a deluge of lava lies above that block. The particles function identically to their water counterparts, except that they drip slower. Flowing lava can set off tripwires because it breaks placed string. Lava triggers a tripwire only once. Any [[item (entity)|item]] dropped into lava is immediately destroyed, except for [[netherite]]-related items. [[Lodestone|Lodestones]], however, can be destroyed by lava despite containing netherite.<ref>{{bug|MC-176618|||WAI}}</ref> Lava can be placed in an empty [[cauldron]].

It can also be set to either stop outputting a signal when its side input recieves a stronger one (front torch off), or subtract its side input's signal strength from its output (front torch on). == Obtaining == === Natural generation === Redstone comparators generate in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]]. === Breaking === A redstone comparator can be broken instantly with any [[tool]], or by hand, and drops itself as an item. {{Breaking row|Redstone Comparator|horizontal=y}} A redstone comparator is removed and dropped as an item if: * its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed; * [[water]] flows into its space;{{only|java}} * a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space. If [[lava]] flows into a redstone comparator's space, the redstone comparator is destroyed without dropping as an item. === Crafting === {{Crafting |B1=Redstone Torch |A2=Redstone Torch |B2=Nether Quartz |C2=Redstone Torch |A3=Stone |B3=Stone |C3=Stone |Output= Redstone Comparator |type=Redstone }} == Usage == A redstone comparator can be placed on the top of any [[opaque]] block with a solid full-height top surface (including upside-down [[slab]]s and upside-down [[stairs]]). {{IN|be}}, a comparator can also be placed on [[wall]]s and fences. For more information about placement on transparent blocks, see [[Opacity/Placement]]. The redstone comparator has a front and a back — the arrow on the top of the comparator points to the front. When placed, the comparator faces away from the player. The comparator has two miniature redstone torches at the back and one at the front. The back torches turn on when the comparator's output is greater than zero (the arrow on top also turns red). The front torch has two states that can be toggled by {{control|using}} the comparator: * Down and unpowered (indicating the comparator is in "comparison mode") * Up and powered (indicating the comparator is in "subtraction mode") The redstone comparator can take a signal strength input from its rear as well as from both sides. Side inputs are accepted only from [[redstone dust]], [[block of redstone]], [[redstone repeater]]s, other comparators, and [[observer]]s in specific scenarios. The redstone comparator's front is its output. It takes 1 [[redstone tick]] (2 game ticks, or 0.1 seconds barring lag) for signals to move through a redstone comparator, either from the rear or from the sides. This applies to changing signal strengths as well as simply to turning on and off. Redstone comparators check their power state before their scheduled ticks update. This results in redstone comparators not usually responding to 1-tick fluctuations of power or signal strength — for example, a [[clock circuit|1-clock]] input is treated as always off from the side, and always on from the rear. This happens because the signal changes back to its original state before the redstone comparator checks its input states. However, certain setups such as powering any input with two separate observer pulses at the same time will cause a redstone comparator to respond to 2 gametick pulses. The redstone comparator has four functions: maintain signal strength, compare signal strength, subtract signal strength, and measure certain block states (primarily the fullness of containers). === Maintain signal strength === A redstone comparator with no powered sides outputs the same signal strength as its rear input. === Compare signal strength === [[File:Comparators Explained.png|Comparators in comparison mode.|thumb]] A redstone comparator in comparison mode (front torch down and unpowered) compares its rear input to its two side inputs. If either side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator output turns off. If neither side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator outputs the same signal strength as its rear input. The formula for calculating the output signal strength is as follows: <code>output = rear × [[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|[]]'''''left''''' ≤ '''''rear''''' AND '''''right''''' ≤ '''''rear'''''[[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|<nowiki>]]]</code> {{-}} === Subtract signal strength === [[File:Redstone comparator.png|thumb|The greatest of the side inputs A and C is subtracted from the rear input B, outputting 1. If either A or C were greater than B, it would output 0.]] A redstone comparator in subtraction mode (front torch up and powered) subtracts the signal strength of the higher side input from the signal strength of the rear input. <code>output = max('''''rear''''' − max('''''left''', '''right'''''), 0)</code> For example: if the signal strength is 6 at the left input, 7 at the right input and 4 at the rear, the output signal has a strength of ''max(4 − max(6, 7), 0) = max(4−7, 0) = max(−3, 0) = 0''. If the signal strength is 9 at the rear, 2 at the right input and 5 at the left input, the output signal has a strength of ''max(9 − max(2, 5), 0) = max(9−5, 0) = 4''. === Measure block state === {{Schematic | caption = A redstone comparator can measure the fullness of a chest, as well as other block states, even through an opaque block. |rd-ew!|rc-w!|ch|SB|rc-e!|rd-ew! }} A redstone comparator treats certain blocks behind it as power sources and outputs a signal strength proportional to the block's state. The comparator may be separated from the measured block by an opaque block. However, {{in|je}}, if the opaque block is powered to signal strength 15, then the comparator outputs 15 no matter the fullness of the container.<ref>{{bug|MC-64394}} (resolved as "Works As Intended")</ref> [[Category:Java Edition specific information]] {{-}} ==== Fullness of containers ==== {| class="wikitable floatright" style="margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0; text-align: center;" |+ Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength |- !Containers !{{BlockSprite|Furnace|link=Furnace}}<br>{{BlockSprite|Blast Furnace|link=Blast Furnace}}<br>{{BlockSprite|Smoker|link=Smoker}} !{{BlockSprite|Hopper|link=Hopper}}<br>{{EntitySprite|Minecart with Hopper|link=Minecart with Hopper}}<br>{{BlockSprite|Brewing Stand|link=Brewing Stand}} !{{BlockSprite|Dispenser|link=Dispenser}}<br>{{BlockSprite|Dropper|link=Dropper}} !{{BlockSprite|Chest|link=Chest}}<br>{{EntitySprite|Minecart with Chest|link=Minecart with Chest}}<br>{{BlockSprite|Shulker Box|link=Shulker Box}}<br>{{BlockSprite|Barrel|link=Barrel}} ![[Double Chest|{{Schematic|size=16|ch-s|-|ch-n}} ]] !{{BlockSprite|Jukebox|link=Jukebox}} |- !Total Slots !3!!5!!9!!27!!54!!1 |- !Power Level ! colspan="5" |Number of Items !Music Disc |- |0||0||0||0||0||0||No disc |- |1||1||1||1||1||1||"13" |- |2||14||23||42||1s 60||3s 55||"cat" |- |3||28||46||1s 19||3s 55||7s 46||"blocks" |- |4||42||1s 5||1s 60||5s 51||11s 37||"chirp" |- |5||55||1s 28||2s 37||7s 46||15s 28||"far" |- |6||1s 5||1s 51||3s 14||9s 42||19s 19||"mall" |- |7||1s 19||2s 10||3s 55||11s 37||23s 10||"mellohi" |- |8||1s 32||2s 32||4s 32||13s 32||27s||"stal" |- |9||1s 46||2s 55||5s 10||15s 28||30s 55||"strad" |- |10||1s 60||3s 14||5s 51||17s 23||34s 46||"ward" |- |11||2s 10||3s 37||6s 28||19s 19||38s 37||"11" |- |12||2s 23||3s 60||7s 5||21s 14||42s 28||"wait" |- |13||2s 37||4s 19||7s 46||23s 10||46s 19||"Pigstep" |- |14||2s 51||4s 42||8s 23||25s 5||50s 10||"Otherside"<br>"Relic" |- |15||3s||5s||9s||27s||54s||"5" |} A redstone comparator can output a signal indicating how full a container is. (0 for empty, 15 for full, etc.) The table on the right is described more in detail, later in this section. Containers that can be measured by a comparator include: * {{BlockLink|Furnace}} * {{BlockLink|Blast Furnace}} * {{BlockLink|Smoker}} * {{BlockLink|Brewing Stand}} * {{BlockLink|Hopper}} * {{ItemLink|Minecart with Hopper}} on top of a [[detector rail]] * {{BlockLink|Dispenser}} * {{BlockLink|Dropper}} * {{BlockLink|Chest}} * {{BlockLink|Trapped Chest}} * {{ItemLink|Minecart with Chest}} on top of a [[detector rail]] * {{BlockLink|Barrel}} * {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large chest * {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large trapped chest * {{BlockLink|Shulker Box}} (any color) Generally speaking, the comparator output signal strength represents the average fullness of the slots, based on how many of that item form a full stack (64, 16, or 1 for non-stackable items). The ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table (right) shows the minimum '''''full-stack-equivalent (FSE)''''' to produce different signal strengths from common containers. A '''''full-stack-equivalent''''' quantifies how many normal 64-stackable items are needed to output a corresponding signal strength. The 's' is a constant 64, with the additional amount needed following after. One may also consider the terms: '''c''umulative-weight''''' or '''''weighted-sum''''' instead of '''''full-stack-equivalent'''''. Items that stack to a max of 16 ([[snowball]]s, [[sign]]s, [[ender pearl]]s, etc.), contribute +4 to the ''full-stack-equivalent'' for each unity (count of 1 item). Similarly, items that stack to 1 ([[minecart]], [[boat]], etc.) contribute +64, and items that stack to 64 contribute +1. Example 1: 3 ender pearls will contribute a 3 x 4 = 12 ''full-stack-equivalent''. Example 2: 16 ender pearls and 60 redstone dust contributes a 16x4 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''. Example 3: 1 minecart and 60 redstone dust contributes a 1x64 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''. Example 4: To produce a signal strength of 10 from a hopper, one requires a ''full-stack-equivalent'' of at least 3s + 14 = 206 but strictly less than than 3s + 37 = 229. This can be done with 3 minecarts, and 14 dirt. When a comparator measures a large chest or large trapped chest, it measures the entire large chest (54 slots), not just the half directly behind the comparator. A chest or trapped chest that cannot be opened (either because it has an opaque block, [[ocelot]], or [[cat]] above it) always produces an output of 0 no matter how many items are in the container — shulker boxes can always be measured, even if they cannot open. ;Calculating signal strength from items :When a container is empty, the output is off. :When it is not empty, the output signal strength is calculated as follows: :<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''sum of all slots' fullnesses''''') / ('''''number of slots in container''''')) × 14)</code> :<code>fullness of a slot = '''''number of items in slot''''' / '''''max stack size for this type of item'''''</code> :''Example:'' 300 blocks in a dispenser (which has 9 slots), where each block stacks to a maximum of 64 has a 300 ''full-stack-equivalent.'' This produces an output with a signal strength of 8: <blockquote> 1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) × 14 = 8.292, floored is 8 </blockquote> ;Calculating items from signal strength :It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows: :<code>items required = max('''''desired signal strength''''', roundup(('''''total slots in container''''' × 64 / 14) × (desired signal strength − 1)))</code> :''Example:'' To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, players need 110 items: <blockquote> max(9, (3×64/14) × (9−1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110 </blockquote> {{-}} ==== Miscellaneous ==== [[File:Comparator storage.png|Comparators used to measure containers.|thumb]] Some non-container blocks can also be measured by a redstone comparator: ;{{BlockLink|Beehive}} and {{BlockLink|Bee nest}} : A hive or nest outputs a signal strength equal to the amount of honey in the hive/nest. ;{{BlockLink|Cake}} : A cake outputs a signal strength relative to the amount of cake remaining. Each slice is worth 2 signal strength, with 7 total slices, for an output of 14 for a full cake. [[File:Cauldron Redstone Strength Values.png|Cauldron signal strength|thumb]] ;{{BlockLink|Cauldron}} : A cauldron outputs different signal strengths depending on how much water or powdered snow is inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, and 3. If lava or powder snow is inside, the strength is always 3. [[File:Composter Redstone Strength Values.png|Composter signal strength|thumb]] ;{{BlockLink|Composter}} : A composter outputs different signal strengths depending on the level inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. ;{{Anchor|CommandBlock}}{{BlockLink|Command Block}} : A command block stores the "success count" of the last command executed, which represents the number of times the most recently used command of this command block succeeded. A "success" is defined by the [[command]]'s success conditions: if a red error message is returned in the chat, the command was not successful. : Most commands can succeed once per execution, but certain commands (such as those that accept players as arguments) can succeed multiple times, and the comparator outputs the number of times it succeeded (maximum 15 when sent to redstone dust, but in the code it is able to go up to the 32-bit integer limit, and can be used in contraptions with no redstone dust with those values). : A command block continues to store the success count of the last command executed until it executes its command again, thus the comparator continues to output the same signal strength even after the command block is no longer being activated (it doesn't turn off when the signal to the command block turns off). ;{{BlockLink|End Portal Frame}} : An end portal frame outputs a full signal of 15 if it contains an [[eye of ender]] and zero otherwise. [[File:Item frame and comparator.png|A comparator can measure the presence and rotation of an item frame's contents.|thumb]] ;{{EntityLink|Item Frame}} : A comparator can measure the state of an [[item frame]]'s contents. An item frame comparator outputs 0 if the item frame is empty, or 1 to 8 for any item depending on its rotation: 1 at initial placement, plus 1 for each 45° of rotation for a maximum of 8. : For an item frame that holds a map, a unit of rotation is 90° instead of 45°, but a comparator still outputs power levels 1 to 8. It takes two full rotations to cycle through all comparator outputs, and each orientation of the map corresponds to two output levels that differ by 4. : The comparator must be placed behind the block the item frame is attached to, facing away from the item frame. The block must be a full block, and the item frame cannot be submerged in water. Having a sign in the same block as the item frame will prevent the frame from sending a signal as well.{{only|java}} ;{{BlockLink|Jukebox}} : A jukebox outputs a signal strength indicating which music disc is currently playing. See the ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table above. ;{{BlockLink|Lectern}} : A lectern outputs a signal strength that depends on what page the player is currently on. The calculation used is: :<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''current page''''' - 1) / ('''''number of pages in book''''' - 1)) × 14)</code> :This results in page 1 having a signal strength of 1, and the last page having a signal strength of 15. The exception is a single page book, which will output a signal strength of 15. :For example, a book with 15 pages will output a signal equal to the current page number. A book with 5 pages will output signal strengths of 1, 4, 8, 11 and 15 for the different pages. A book with 100 pages will have the signal strength increase to the next level on pages 1, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 51, 58, 65, 72, 79, 86, 93 and 100. : ;{{BlockLink|Respawn Anchor}} : A respawn anchor outputs a signal strength of 0, 3, 7, 11, or 15, depending on the "charged" value. ;{{BlockLink|Sculk Sensor}} : A sculk sensor outputs a signal strength depending on the type of vibration that is detected. ;{{BlockLink|Chiseled Bookshelf}} : A chisled bookshelf outputs a signal strength between 1 and 6 indicating the last slot interacted with.

It can also hold [[Item|items]] and be posed (but these are not possible in [[Survival]] in [[Java Edition]]). == Obtaining == An armor stand can be broken by quickly {{control|attack|text=attacking}} it twice, dropping itself and any armor placed onto it. === Crafting === {{Crafting |A1= Stick |B1= Stick |C1= Stick |B2= Stick |A3= Stick |B3= Smooth Stone Slab |C3= Stick |Output= Armor Stand |type=Decoration block }} === Natural generation === Two armor stands are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one equipped with an [[iron helmet]], the other with an [[iron chestplate]]. == Usage == [[Player]]s can use armor stands to hold [[armor]], [[mob head]]s, [[carved pumpkin]]s, and [[elytra]]. [[Commands]] can be used to give them other [[item]]s. The stand does not have a GUI, so players interact with it directly. Armor stands are also able to be placed in different orientations, similar to [[banner]]s or [[sign]]s. Armor stands are [[entity|entities]], allowing them to be pushed by [[piston]]s, moved by flowing [[water]], pulled with [[fishing rod]]s, pushed by players (with knockback), and bounced by [[slime block]]s. {{Control|use|text=Using}} armor on the stand places the armor if done on a bare spot. Conversely, clicking on armor with a bare hand removes the armor and places it in the highlighted hotbar slot. It is not possible to take or place items from the armor stand's hands unless playing on Bedrock Edition. Armor, mob heads, or carved pumpkins can be automatically placed on armor stands with a [[dispenser]]. Armor stands can be customized further to have arms, pose, disobey gravity, dual wield and other things by summoning them using {{cmd|summon}} with [[Chunk format#ArmorStand|NBT tags]]. In maps heavily using [[command blocks]], armor stands can be used to keep [[scoreboard]] objectives that are 'global' to the map, run [[commands]], etc. {{IN|bedrock}}, the pose of the armor stand can be changed by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Pose|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while sneaking, or by using a redstone signal. There are 13 possible poses. Armor stands can also hold items by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Equip|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while holding an item that cannot be worn. ;<nowiki>Below are the poses: {| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" !

Any [[armor]] on the stand drops when the stand is broken. Armor stands can display [[enchanting|enchanted]] and all forms of [[dye]]d armor. The effects of most enchanted armor have no effect when on an armor stand, with three exceptions: * [[Frost Walker]] creates [[frosted ice]] blocks on [[water]] as usual if an armor stand is pushed with a [[piston]]. * [[Depth Strider]] slows the movement of the armor stand when being pushed with water. * A [[player]] may take damage from hitting an armor stand that holds armor enchanted with [[Thorns]]. Armor stands are not damaged by [[cacti]] but can be broken by [[arrow]]s. An armor stand destroyed by an explosion or a firework does not drop as an [[item (entity)|item]]. Armor stands in water and [[lava]] at the same time are not consumed by the lava. {{IN|be}}, armor stands can be affected by [[status effect]]s. They can be 'killed' by [[Harming]] and [[Decay]] [[splash potion|splash]]/[[lingering potion]]s, lava, [[fire]], and [[campfire]]s, and they play the player death sound and fall to their side and disappear, yielding no armor stand item. If an armor stand is equipped with an item or armor, that item or armor is considered as "naturally-spawned equipment" with an 8.5% chance of dropping when the armor stand "dies" from the [[Instant Damage]] or the [[Wither (status effect)|Wither]] status effect. If the dropped item is any form of [[weapon]], [[tool]] or armor, it drops in a badly damaged state because the game considers it as "naturally-spawned equipment".<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-24341}}</ref> The stand wobbles slightly when being hit by the player. {{IN|java}}, it is possible to create an armor stand with arms using the {{cmd|summon}} [[command]]. It is also possible to change an armor stand without arms into a stand with arms by using the {{cmd|data}} command.

1.14 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Water Bucket|Water Bucket]]<br/>{{Item | title = Water Bucket | renewable = Yes | image = Water Bucket.png | stackable = No }} A '''water bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[water]]. == Obtaining == === Interacting === To fill an empty [[bucket]] with water, {{control|use}} it on a [[water]] source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket. {{control|Using}} an empty bucket on a [[cauldron]] filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket. Water buckets can also be filled by placing an empty one in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]], and a wet [[sponge]] into the oven slot. The bucket is filled when the [[smelting]] process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused. === Chest Loot === {{LootChestItem|water-bucket}} == Usage == {{Control|Using}} a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a [[waterlogging|waterloggable]] block waterlogs the block. In [[the Nether]], however, the water evaporates, making a fire extinguishing sound and displays smoke particles while nothing gets placed. === Dispensers === A [[dispenser]] can be loaded with a water bucket, and when activated it places a water block directly before it, emptying the bucket. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it draws the source into the bucket when activated. === Cauldrons === A single water bucket can fill a [[cauldron]], and using an empty bucket on a water-filled cauldron fills the bucket. Empty buckets cannot be filled from partly-filled cauldrons. === Filling bucket with mobs === Water buckets can be used on a [[fish]], [[axolotl]] or [[tadpole]] to create a [[bucket of aquatic mob]]. === Transportation === {{main|Tutorials/Elevators#Water elevators}} Water buckets can be used as a means of quickly descending great heights in the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], either by creating a waterfall or using the water bucket while falling to create a safe water landing. Water buckets can also be used to climb vertical surfaces anywhere but [[the Nether]] by repeatedly creating higher waterfalls from the bottom and swimming up them. == Sounds == {{el|je}}: {{Sound table |sound=Fill water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Fill water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Fill water bucket3.ogg |subtitle=Bucket fills |source=player |description=When a bucket is filled with water |id=item.bucket.fill |translationkey=subtitles.item.bucket.fill |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Empty water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Empty water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Empty water bucket3.ogg |subtitle=Bucket empties |source=block |description=When the bucket is placed |id=item.bucket.empty |translationkey=subtitles.item.bucket.empty |volume=1.0 <ref group=sound>Except for the second copy of {{cd|empty1}}, which is 0.9</ref> |pitch=1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{el|je}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Fill water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Fill water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Fill water bucket3.ogg |source=block |description=When a bucket is filled with water |id=bucket.fill_water |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |sound=Empty water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Empty water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Empty water bucket3.ogg |source=block |description=When a water bucket is emptied |id=bucket.empty_water |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |rowspan=2 |sound=Water Splash Old.ogg |source=block |description=When a water bucket is placed in a cauldron<wbr><ref group=sound name=bucketsplash>{{Bug|MCPE-135919}}</ref> |id=cauldron.fillwater |volume=0.1 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |source=block |description=When a water bucket is removed from a cauldron<wbr><ref group=sound name=bucketsplash/> |id=cauldron.takewater |volume=0.1 |pitch=1.0 |foot=1}} ==Data values== === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Water Bucket |spritetype=item |nameid=water_bucket |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |showaliasids=y |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Water Bucket |spritetype=item |nameid=water_bucket |aliasid=bucket / 8 |id=362 |form=item |translationkey=item.bucketWater.name |foot=1}} == Advancements == {{load advancements|Tactical fishing;The Cutest Predator;Bukkit bukkit}} ==History== {{History|java infdev}} {{History||20100615|[[File:Water Bucket JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added water buckets.}} {{History|java alpha}} {{History||v1.2.6|{{control|use|text=Using}} a water bucket on [[block]]s with GUIs ([[chest]]s, [[furnace]]s, etc.) no longer places the water.}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2|Water buckets can now be used to fill [[cauldron]]s.}} {{History||1.3.1|snap=12w15a|[[Dispenser]]s have now been given the ability to dispense water buckets.

See Launcher version history for version history from this point onward.
February 24, 2020					With launcher version 2.1.1382x, patch notes for the Launcher are added to the About section.
April 9, 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.
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. 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.
October 16, 2021					The Minecraft PC Bundle is announced at Minecraft Live 2021 to be added to Xbox Game Pass for PC. The bundle includes Minecraft Launcher for Windows (the new Minecraft Launcher) available from the Microsoft Store and Xbox app on Windows 10/11, and will for the first time include Minecraft: Bedrock Edition in addition to Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft Dungeons.
March 10, 2022					Mojang Studios and Legacy Minecraft accounts are no longer supported to play games in the launcher, and user who still haven't migrated to Microsoft accounts are directed to do so.
					The legacy Minecraft Launcher (version 1.6.x) is discontinued (along with support for Windows XP and Vista) since this launcher does not support Microsoft accounts.

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.
• The Minecraft Launcher doesn't store passwords locally. Instead, it uses a 'refresh token'.
• The current Minecraft 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 Minecraft Launcher can be downloaded here (version 1.6.93, ~4.6MB as opposed to the modern launcher's ~85MB). However, the legacy Minecraft Launcher is incompatible with Microsoft accounts and was discontinued in Q2 2021 due to account migration.
