The current Minecraft launcher
The Minecraft launcher is the login and downloader front-end to the stand-alone client. It is responsible for downloading the main Java packages, including minecraft.jar and LWJGL, which holds the code and resources of the game such as textures. It also acts somewhat like a basic and easily bypassable copy-restriction by forcing the user to login to a paid account when running for the first time. It has been part of the stand-alone client since its inception. It is possible to use the launcher to run versions of Minecraft since before Indev.
There have been four different development stages for the launcher, the first for the Alpha version, the second since the release of Minecraft 1.0, the third since 1.2, and the fourth and current 1.6 Launcher. The launcher's design last changed on July 18, 2013.
Behavior
Every time the launcher is executed, it checks a specific directory where Minecraft stores its files called .minecraft. It checks a file called "launcher_profiles.json" for login credentials. If the file does not exist, is corrupt, or no user is logged in, the user must login with a valid premium account, otherwise the game will refuse to run.
When logging in, the launcher will first try to verify the login. If a valid "launcher_profiles.json" file exists but there is no internet connection, the launcher will offer a "Play offline" mode if a player was logged in when it was last closed. If the connection is successful, the launcher will then, depending on profile options, compare the latest version in the latest "versions" directory to the latest version reported by the server. If the selected version does not exist or the latest installed version is outdated when "Use latest version" is selected in the profile, the launcher will download all Minecraft components and Java binary files. It will also synchronize everything in the Assets folder (see Resource pack)
Finally, upon a successful update or installation, the launcher will execute "minecraft.jar" (via "javaw.exe", Oracle's Java Virtual Machine executable.) It is possible however for there to be missing ".jar" files, in which case the launcher will attempt to replace the missing files automatically but will stop if there is no connection.
Currently, Minecraft launcher supports only English. Users cannot select their preferred language.
Command-line usage
minecraft.jar (all systems):
java -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame <username> <password> <server:port>
minecraft.exe (Windows executable):
minecraft.exe <username> <password> <server:port>
minecraft.jar (Windows - no CMD window):
javaw -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame <username> <password> <server:port>
As of the new launcher released with Minecraft 1.2.3, username and password options use a prefix.
--username=<username> or -u=<username> --password=<password> or -p=<password>
If using a server:port it must still be the 3rd option. So if not used with username and password, dummy options need to be added in their place.
No update option also added.
--noupdate
1.6 Launcher
The login screen of the 1.1.1 Minecraft launcher
A new version of the launcher was released on April 18, 2013 (with snapshot 13w16a). It lets users choose the version they want to play, downloads all resources before launching the game and updates additional libraries (function previously unavailable). Later it will have more functionality as it currently is in its early development stage. Demo is available to non-premium users after a successful login. The launcher can automatically update itself; the most recent version is 1.3.9.
Features
- Manage multiple profiles. Each profile can control:
- Game version. Includes access to outdated development builds and previous releases. You can also add older/custom versions manually[1]. See this video for instructions.
- Mojang account used to play the game
- Command line arguments for Java (such as heap size)
- Game Directory (where the game files are saved on disk)
- And so on.
- The launcher doesn't store your password locally. Instead of this, it now uses a 'refresh token'.
- Automatic updates for launcher.
- Ability to update libraries, such as LWJGL.
- Offline mode. (The first time launch requires an Internet connection to download required resources)
- Currently only available in English.
- Crashes can be reported to Mojang, through Hopper.
- Crashes are now indexed through a database for information on how to fix the issue.
Time Machine
A profile with Alpha and Beta versions enabled
On August 1, 2013, the Minecraft launcher was updated to include the ability to play old Alpha and Beta versions of the game. Currently, Alpha, Beta, and all Release versions are available to play. Classic, Indev, and Infdev versions are already added under the names "old-alpha version".[2]
To enable the old versions either click the "Edit Profile" button or, preferably, create a new one. Under the "Version Selection" section choose to allow use of Alpha and/or Beta versions by ticking the appropriate boxes. Next, select the desired version from the drop-down menu and save the profile.
However, these versions are very out of date and some may be unstable. Any bugs, crashes, missing features, or other glitches will never be fixed in those versions. Mojang strongly recommends that you play them in separate directories to your other saves to avoid corruption.
Command-line usage
MinecraftDev.jar (all systems):
java -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap <username> <server:port>
The 1.6 launcher also added some new commands, for the launcher. These are shown if you do
java -jar Minecraft.jar -help

'''Emeralds''' are rare minerals that are used primarily as the currency for [[trading]] with [[villager]]s and [[wandering trader]]s. Naturally-occurring emeralds are rarer than [[diamond]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Trading ===
{{main|Trading}}
Emeralds can be obtained by trading with [[villager]]s, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers either buy or sell specific goods for emeralds.
=== Mining ===
[[Emerald ore]] drops one emerald when mined using an iron or better [[pickaxe]]. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself in ore form instead of an emerald.
=== Crafting ===

=== Natural generation ===
{{see also|Emerald Ore#Natural generation}}
Emeralds can generate in [[chest]]s in some [[village]] houses or other generated [[Generated structures|structures]].
{{needs update|inaccurate=1|section=1}}
{{LootChestItem|emerald}}
=== Drops ===
[[Vindicator]]s and [[evoker]]s drop 0–1 emeralds upon death. [[Looting]] increases the maximum emerald drop by one per level, for a maximum of 4 emeralds with Looting III.
[[Fox]]es that are holding emeralds also have a chance of 100% to drop the emerald they are holding upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item to entice the fox to drop the emerald without killing it.
{{IN|bedrock}}, vindicators and [[pillager]]s spawned from [[raids]] can drop 0–1 emeralds. Depending on difficulty, vindicators and pillagers spawned from raids also have a chance of dropping additional emeralds. There is a 65% chance of dropping on easy and normal, and an 80% chance of dropping on hard. If this additional drop condition is met, different emerald counts can drop with different chances. There is a {{frac|10|39}} chance to drop an additional 0–1 emeralds, a {{frac|5|39}} chance to drop an additional 2–3, and a {{frac|2|39}} chance to drop an additional 4–5.
{{IN|bedrock}}, with Looting III, it is possible for a vindicator in a raid to drop up to 16 emeralds upon death (vindicator drops + raid drops + an additional drop<!-- emerald from 2/39 chance-->).
== Usage ==
=== Trading ===
{{main|Trading}}
Emeralds are primarily used as currency for [[trading]] with villagers and wandering traders. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
===Beacons===
Emeralds can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers and then insert an emerald into the item slot.
An emerald can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]], a [[gold ingot]], a [[diamond]] or a [[netherite ingot]] in a beacon.

'''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}}

{{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.

* 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''.

A '''milk bucket'''{{fn|Known as '''Milk Bucket''' {{in|java}} and '''Milk''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} is a [[drink]] obtained from {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[bucket]] on [[cow]]s, [[mooshroom]]s and [[goat]]s that can be consumed to clear all [[Effect|effects]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Harvesting ===
Milk buckets can be obtained from [[cow]]s, [[mooshroom]]s, and [[goat]]s by pressing {{control|use}} while looking at them with an empty [[bucket]].
=== Mob loot ===
A milk bucket has a chance of dropping from a [[wandering trader]], if the trader is killed while holding it.{{only|java}}
== Usage ==
Holding {{control|use}} with a milk bucket starts the drinking sound and animation. {{IN|java}}, the animation is shown only in first-person camera mode.
When consumed, milk immediately removes all status [[effect]]s from the [[player]]. [[Fire]] is not a status effect; therefore, drinking milk doesn't extinguish a burning player.
The benefits of area status effects granted by [[beacon]]s and [[Conduit Power|conduit power]] are restored almost immediately in Bedrock Edition and after a few seconds in ''Java Edition''.

An '''enchanted book''' is an [[item]] that lets players add [[enchantments]] to certain items using an [[anvil]].

{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book}}
==== Random enchantment books ====

==== Soul Speed books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-soul-speed}}
==== Swift Sneak books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-swift-sneak}}
===Fishing===
Enchanted books can be obtained as a "treasure" item from [[fishing]] with a [[fishing rod]] as part of the "treasure" category. The book has the equivalent of a level 30 enchantment from an enchantment table, but treasure enchantments are available and the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.
=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell enchanted books as part of their trades at novice, apprentice, and journeyman-level, and have {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell enchanted books at expert-level as part of their trades, meaning each librarian villager can sell up to four books. The price ranges between 5-64 [[emerald]]s per book. Based on the level of the enchantment and whether it is classified as a "[[Enchanting mechanics|treasure enchantment]]" (meaning they are not obtainable by enchanting, e.g. [[Mending]]), which doubles the cost, or not a price is determined.

The price ranges from 5-64 [[emerald]]s per book, depending on the enchantment's level as well as whether or not it is a [[Enchanting mechanics|treasure enchantment]].

They may contain any available enchantment (except Soul Speed and Swift Sneak) at any available level. See [[Trading#cite_note-enchanted-book-10|trading notes]] for more information on enchantments and prices.
===Drops ===
Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a small chance to drop an enchanted book with a level 30 enchantment, which may be a treasure enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}
===Enchanting===
[[File:Enchanted Book 4x.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple high level enchantments.]]
[[File:Similar enchantments.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple enchantments that can be applied to the same item.]]
Players can create an enchanted book by enchanting a [[book]] on an [[enchantment table]]. Books have a decreased chance of getting multiple enchantments (specifically, if multiple enchantments would be added, then one is removed at random), and have a lower "enchantability level" than most other items. Treasure enchantments such as Mending cannot be obtained from an enchantment table.
=== Bartering ===
Players can barter with [[piglin]]s by using or throwing [[gold ingot]]s, and doing so has a {{frac|5|459}} chance for piglins to give the player an enchanted book with any level of [[Soul Speed]]. Soul Speed enchanted books are only obtainable through [[bartering]], [[chest]] loot inside a bastion remnant, and [[fishing]]. They cannot be obtained through [[enchanting]] or [[trading]].
== Usage ==
{{see also|Anvil mechanics}}
In Survival, enchanted books are the only method to obtain certain enchantments on certain tools, such as Unbreaking on [[shield]]s. Enchanted books have a shine effect on their sprite.
To use an enchanted book, the player must place an item in the first slot in an [[anvil]], and a book in the next. In order to complete the enchantment, the player must have the required amount of [[experience]]. Note that using an enchanted book gets significant discounts at the anvil. Enchanted books themselves can be combined to create a single book with increased or multiple enchantments, similar to combining tools or weapons.
When combining items, the compatible enchantments from the book in the second slot are transferred to the item from the first slot, keeping the highest level of any type. If two enchantments have the same level and a higher level is available, they combine into the next level. If a book is applied to an item that can't take all of its spells, the appropriate spells are transferred, while the unusable ones are lost. Enchanted books are single-use.
Enchanted books do not exhibit their enchantment. For example, a book with Sharpness IV as an enchantment does no more damage than an un-enchanted book, or any non-weapon item, would when used as a weapon. An exception is the Fire Aspect book which can ignite TNT and light campfires and the Mending book if the block mined can be broken by fist.{{only|bedrock}}
=== Available items ===
{{See also|Enchantments}}
Enchanted books can enchant the usual items that can be enchanted at an [[enchanting table]], but ''unlike an enchanting table'', they are able to boost enchantments such as Sharpness or Thorns to their maximum power, and may apply the following enchantments to items (the table displays only netherite tools and armor, but any type can be enchanted):
<!-- do not change the items listed in this table. It is supposed to show the items that can receive these enchantments from an enchanted book, but are NOT possible through an enchanting table. -->

=== Creative mode ===
The player can enchant any item with any enchantment in [[Creative]] mode, allowing any applied effects to exhibit themselves.{{only|java}} For example, a [[stick]] can be enchanted with [[Silk Touch]] to allow the player to successfully dig [[grass block]]s. The enchanted item can still be used in Survival mode without any loss of enchantments.
Enchantments that are normally incompatible are still incompatible; for example, Piercing and Multishot cannot be both applied to the same item, even in Creative mode.
If a block is enchanted, it loses the enchantment upon being placed in the world.
=== Disenchanting ===
Disenchanting an enchanted book at a [[grindstone]] yields a normal [[book]] and some experience depending on the quality of the book.

'''Elytra''' ({{Audio|ElytraPronunciation.mp3|/ˈɛl ɪ trə/|link2=''ᴇʟ-i-trə''}}<ref>“Elytron.” ''Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary'', Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elytron. Accessed 22 May. 2022.</ref>)<!--"Elytra" is the plural of "elytron," a single half of a beetle's protective wing covers. Verbs should agree accordingly (e.g. "Elytra allow flight"). https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/elytron--> are rare wings found in [[end ship]]s that are a source of flight in [[Survival]] mode.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Elytra are found only in [[end city|end cities]] in [[item frame|item frames]] in the treasure room of the [[end ship]]. A [[shulker]] guards the elytra and the ship's two loot chests.
=== Repairing ===
Elytra can be enchanted with [[Mending]] so that they get [[Item repair|repaired]] as the player collects [[experience]] orbs while wearing/holding them.
Elytra can also be repaired in the player crafting grid, by combining two damaged pairs of elytra together.
{{crafting

|ignoreusage=1
|Damaged Elytra
|Damaged Elytra
|Output= Elytra
|description= The durability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% durability, but removes any enchantments.
|type= Transportation
}}
Similarly, two damaged elytra pairs can be combined on a [[grindstone]].
{{Grinding

|ingredients=2x Damaged [[Elytra]]

|description=The durability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% durability, but removes any enchantments.
}}
Elytra can also be repaired at an anvil using [[phantom membrane]]s, which has the advantage that it preserves [[enchantments]] on elytra. Each phantom membrane restores 108 durability points, exactly 25% of the elytra's total durability.

| style="width: 260px; padding: 1px;" | {{Anvil| title = Elytra|Input1=Damaged Elytra|Input2=Phantom Membrane, 2|Output=Elytra}}
|-
|}
Each repair on the anvil, however, also increases the [[Anvil mechanics|prior work]] penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive and eventually reaching an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are "too expensive" (even if the player has many xp levels to spare). However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone. Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.
== Usage ==
[[File:Steve in elytra.png|75px]] [[File:Alex in elytra.png|75px]]
Elytra are equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot, either by placing the item directly in the slot, by pressing {{ctrl|use item}} while [[hotbar|held in hand]], or by firing a point-blank [[dispenser]] at a target. They are gray in color by default, but they adopt the design of any [[cape]] the player is wearing. They maintain their in-world texture design even when they're [[#Repair|broken]] or [[enchanted]].
=== Flying ===
To fly, the player must press the {{ctrl|jump}} key while falling, and the elytra spread apart like a beetle's elytra. The player can aim their view around to turn or adjust their pitch. Losing altitude increases speed, and gaining altitude decreases speed. [[Firework rocket]]s can be used to increase speed. Additionally, speed is quickly lost from sharp changes in direction.
Directly hitting any surface while gliding too fast causes damage to the player and their armor proportional to flight speed (although this may be calculated from another factor). When a player dies in this way, they receive the [[death messages|death message]] "'''<player> experienced kinetic energy'''". The player does not take [[fall damage]] from colliding at a shallow angle or a low enough speed. The critical, damaging angle is about 50° with the collision surface, and the calculation for damage seems to be as if the player had fallen from their maximum potential glide height to the height of the struck surface.
A safe and simple cruise with the highest travel distance can be achieved by aiming directly at the horizon while at the glide's altitude limit. The player's speed is slow enough to allow them time to do other things during a long flight, like sort out their inventory.
In [[Creative]] mode or when the "mayfly" [[ability]] has been given, the player can alternatively hold the {{ctrl|jump}} key to fly up,{{only|bedrock}} or double press the jump key to move around freely.
Flight can be stopped by pressing the [[jump]] key.{{only|bedrock}}
==== Speed and altitude ====
Elytra have a minimum speed of about 7.2 m/s (obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a strong upward pitch of 30°). If the diver drops to 0 speed, they quickly get accelerated back up to at least this minimum. The diver can increase speed by choosing to descend faster, but afterward, they do not regain nearly as much altitude. In the real world, drag increases with speed, and drag, in turn, slows the aircraft; Minecraft mimics this. To glide from cliff to cliff, a player's best bet is to aim slightly above the horizon.
Sharp turns are a fast way to lose speed. Quicker turns cause greater losses, while gentle movements have small effects. Making a hairpin turn can actually be used for making high-speed landings safe as well as for precise landings on small targets like rooftops. The player aims to glide just above the target, then as they're right over it they immediately reverse directions, then they make readjustments as necessary.
The lowest rate of altitude loss is about 1.5 m/sec, obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a slight upward pitch (12° or 15°).
To get the best possible glide ratio (and thus the furthest distance out of their altitude), the diver pilot should aim directly at the horizon. This ratio is about 9.47 to 1.
[[Slow Falling]] potions greatly decrease the player's vertical (fall) speed, which also greatly decreases their ''horizontal'' speed (clearly, it depends on the vertical fall rate, as one might expect from flight modeling). The net result is that the player flies extremely slowly - but their Elytra still takes durability damage at the usual rate (1 durability per second without Unbreaking, etc.). Due to this combination, Elytra plus Slow Falling is largely a novelty that most players won't use. The [[Feather Falling]] enchantment does not affect Elytra speed and does not reduce fall damage from hitting things with elytra.
It is possible to calculate the glide range by dividing the altitude by tan of the glide angle (altitude/tan(glide angle)). For example, if the player glides from an altitude of 64 blocks above ground with a glide angle of 15 degrees, they can glide for 237 blocks (assume that they are on superflat), since floor(64 / tan(15)) is 237.
==== Stalling ====
Trying for too high a pitch reduces the player's lift. At a pitch of 30° above the horizon, the player has the lowest possible airspeed of 7.2 m/sec. Above that, the player might be considered to be in a stall. Increasing the pitch gets closer to a free-fall, and stalled flight at 60° is enough to cause fall damage. Stalling at 90° is a true free-fall.
Recovering from a stall is done by readjusting to any safe pitch as quickly as the player likes. This can be just changing to look at the horizon.
==== Powered flight ====
{{fakeImage|{{invSprite|Firework Rocket}}|Firework rockets are used for speed boosts while gliding.}}
[[Firework rocket]]s can be used for propulsion during flight by placing it in either hand and {{ctrl|using}}. Using a firework rocket while gliding quickly maximizes the player's speed for a time similar to the rocket's flight duration.
If the rocket is equipped with [[firework star]]s, it explodes at the end of its flight, inflicting damage based on the number of stars.
It is possible to gain altitude during powered flight. This makes it possible to glide for extreme distances and had been used extensively by [[far lands]]/[[World Border]] challenges.
=== Durability and Repair ===
{{fakeImage|{{invSprite|Broken Elytra}}|A broken pair of elytra.}}
[[Durability]] decreases by one point each second when gliding. A pair of elytra has 432 durability, allowing 7 minutes and 12 seconds of gliding time without enchantments, providing more than 10,000 blocks of transport distance. It is possible to apply the [[Unbreaking]] enchantment using an [[anvil]] and an [[enchanted book]], which affects the elytra, in the same way it does to [[tool]]s. Unbreaking III increases elytra's flight time to about four seconds per durability point, a total of 28 minutes and 44 seconds.
When the durability reaches 1, elytra stop working until they are repaired, adopting a tattered texture in the inventory. The damage ends at durability 1, so they can never fully break. A pair may be repaired by either using the [[Mending]] enchantment, combining two pairs in a [[grindstone]], or combining it in an anvil with [[phantom membrane]]s. In an anvil, each piece of membrane repairs elytra by 108 durability points, requiring 4 pieces to fully repair them.
Each repair on the anvil will also increase the [[Anvil mechanics|prior work]] penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive, with an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are "too expensive". However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone (by adding nothing to it). Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.
=== Enchantments ===
Elytra can receive the following [[enchantments]] by combining in an anvil:

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* The singular form of elytra is an {{w|elytron}}.
* In reality, elytra are not used for flight. They are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that cover the wings they actually use for flight. However, like ''Minecraft'' elytra, in beetles they can be used for gliding.
* A flying player has a shorter hitbox than usual: A 0.6 block cube centered on the player's feet.
* It is possible to glide while on a [[ladder]], by pressing {{key|shift}} followed by {{key|space}}, causing the player to fall with a speed determined by the player's visual angle. This means that the player can descend fast on a ladder, but if the speed is too fast when hitting the ground, they can take fatal fall damage. Using a [[firework rocket]] can also speed up the player's descent.
* {{IN|java}} if the player glides into deep [[water]] with elytra equipped, the animation does not stop, giving it the appearance of a [[swimming]] animation.<ref name="MC-97190">{{bug|MC-97190||While gliding into water or lava, player continues gliding|WAI}}</ref> The animation stops once the player touches the ground. Additionally, [[firework rocket]]s can be used with elytra underwater with a short boost duration.
* Elytra do not deactivate when the player flies into [[lava]].<ref name="MC-97190"/>
* Elytra can be equipped onto some [[mob]]s using [[command]]s. This has no effect unless the mob has the {{cd|FallFlying}} tag set to {{cd|1b}}. Mobs glide forward, unable to control the movement before landing, at which time they regain their AI.
** Exceptions to this are [[squid]]s as the squid's AI causes it to attempt swimming in midair, making it fall straight down because it conflicts with the elytra mechanics.
**Because [[chicken]]s fall slowly, they can move more distance.
** [[Enderman|Endermen]], tamed [[wolf|wolves]] and tamed [[cat]]s that are not sitting cannot teleport until they hit the ground.
** Because mobs do not regain control until they hit the ground, [[vex]]es fall until they die or despawn as they cannot touch the ground.
** Mobs capable of flying, such as [[parrot]]s or vexes can steer in air, though they cannot travel up or down. Dolphins also have this ability.
* [[4J Studios]] created an elytron-centered tutorial map for console edition when elytra were first introduced to this platform, this map is themed as "ruins of an ancient civilization of ''[[Minecraft]]'' worshipers" and showcases the new amplified terrain generation. This map can be seen behind the scenes.<ref>{{Mcnet|learning-fly|Learning To Fly}}</ref> On 28 March 2017, 4J Studios added an elytron-themed [[Mini Games]] for console edition called "Glide;" it consists of Time Attack and Score Attack mode.<ref>{{Mcnet|glide-mini-game-consoles-tomorrow|Glide Mini Game on Consoles Tomorrow|March 23, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Mcnet|mini-game-masters-glide-console|Mini Game Masters Glide onto Console|March 28, 2017}}</ref>
* A player who jumps with both elytra and the [[Slow Falling]] effect travels slightly upward, which is a cheap but time-consuming alternative to [[fireworks]] and [[Riptide]]-enchanted [[trident]]s.
* On May 5, 2019, [[Mojang]] tweeted '[[The End]] never yields enough adequate resources, sadly,' along with a sad emoji.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|1125053038757068802|The End never yields enough adequate resources, sadly. 😔}}</ref> The first letter of each word spells 'T E n y e a r s' (Ten Years). Attached was a picture of [[player|Steve and Alex]] wearing both a [[chestplate]] and elytra. The next day, they tweeted, "Have you noticed something ''suspic10us'' here lately?"<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|1125415169495064576|Have you noticed something suspic10us here lately?}}</ref>
* Mojang has considered the suggestion of combining elytra with a chestplate, but eventually decided against it, stating that elytra taking up armor is an intentional decision of game balancing.<ref>

'''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''.
