An abandoned mine shaft.
Abandoned mine shafts are naturally generated structures that generate in the Overworld. They were added in the adventure update, along with strongholds and NPC villages.
Structure
The dirt room found in abandoned mines
Abandoned mine shafts consist of:
- A starting point - a large room with a flat dirt floor, an arched ceiling and up to four exits (one in each direction).
- Corridors - 3×3 block corridors featuring supports made from fences and wooden planks (sometimes complementary with torches), broken rails, chests (containing resources) and cave spider spawners surrounded by cobwebs.
- Crossings - intersections with wooden pillars, sometimes two floors tall.
- Staircases - diagonal sections of tunnel.
The generator continues to add pieces onto an exit until it reaches a "depth" of 8 (eight pieces from an exit).[1]
Abandoned mine shafts are generated before chunk features such as ores. As with other features, multiple abandoned mine shafts can generate near each other and intersect, producing larger complexes. They can also intersect with other cave systems, notably ravines. Corridors will generate a floor of wooden planks if they cross over empty space.

Exploration
Mine shafts can be easily found in ravines or large caves, (many times on some occasions) where it is likely that a mine shaft will intersect them. In ocean biomes it is possible to find the upper part of the shaft complex exposed to water at some of the sections.
Abandoned mine shafts may be large and be akin to mazes, making it difficult to keep bearings. The venomous Cave Spiders are common and make exploration dangerous unless prepared. However, due to automatically placed torches, the presence of other mobs is much lower, making areas aside from the Spider spawners safer than caves.
Gravel sometimes collapses into shafts, making them appear to be dead ends. Dig a few blocks past gravel walls to check if the shaft continues or not.
Using the large amount of resources found in abandoned mine shafts, the player may cut down cobwebs to collect string (then craft that into wool), take out wood and fence posts from the supports, and create a safe room with a bed within the shafts. (This lets you respawn nearer your death, making it much more likely to recover your possessions.) It's also a popular choice to include a crafting table and a furnace in the safe room. This makes exploration easier, although becoming lost means losing resources within the room and possibly death from the Cave Spiders or other hazards within the elaborate structure. One should put caution before anything else when exploring these locations. If the need of food arises, melon seeds and wheat are found in loot chests and water can be found in caves around the mine. It is also likely to find bread in the chests as well. Also, if you don't feel like enduring the monster encounters or worrying about hunger, you can always set to peaceful mode.
The minecart tracks can be repaired, and you can collect them by hand, pickaxe, or pour a bucket of water on top of them. The mine shaft can be used for mining of your own, after it is cleaned up and rid of mob spawners.
How to explore
Abandoned mine shafts can be extremely difficult to explore, especially since some can be cut in half through ravines, though this is made easier by the bridges added in 1.2. If a ravine is present, adding bridges to cross it, or waterfalls to get up and down, can help deal with the obstacles. You will likely need to build bridges or staircases to access all the areas within an abandoned mine shaft -- valuable blocks and chests can often be found in hard-to-reach areas.
As with most underground areas, your first priority should be to make sure the whole area is well lit -- there will be torches already present, but these will be somewhat uneven, leaving many dark areas for you to light. While you're at it, note any minerals present like iron ore, or coal, which may be embedded in the wall. Having spare tools, weapons, and other equipment is also helpful. Shears are very useful for dealing with cobwebs without dulling your sword, and unlike most caves, you'll want axes for the fences and beams. A Flint and Steel can also be helpful in coping with cave-spider spawners. It is also common for mine shafts to intersect ravines, caves, and other underground structures -- these can be blocked off for later, or explored along with the mineshaft. Both water and lava can be found in mineshafts and connected caverns.
Because of the labyrinth-like characteristics of abandoned mine shafts, it is important to leave pointers to where the exit routes are. The tactics in the Navigation tutorial are helpful as always -- it's probably best to use something besides rails or torches as trail markers, as both are found naturally in the mineshafts. Wool can be made from cobweb string, and if Lapis Lazuli ore is present, you can make blue wool (and light blue as well, with bone meal from skeletons). All three wool colors make fairly distinctive markers. Blocks of dirt can also be used to mark off explored areas, or they can be blocked off entirely with fences harvested from the supports. An slower but productive tactic is to clear out the shafts entirely as you go, mining fences, beams, cobwebs, and even "stray" stone blocks from the ceiling, to leave empty 3×3 corridors. This makes it dead obvious where you've been, while providing lots of resources and removing various obstacles.
Cave spider spawners
These are a special hazard of abandoned mineshafts. Unlike the spawners found in dungeons, they will not be neatly enclosed in cobblestone rooms, nor do they come with treasure chests. Instead, the "lair" for the spawner consists of a broad swath of cobwebs (usually filling a corridor), making it quite hard to reach and destroy the spawner. The cave spiders, of course, are unaffected by the cobwebs, and will happily crawl along walls, mine supports, and other fixtures to reach you. There are often two or more lairs near each other, so don't let down your guard just because you've destroyed one. They can also appear embedded in hard to reach places like ceilings, bridges, or high intersections, or behind small holes, from which they can drop a steady supply of spiders down on passers-by.
To deal with these, you need tools to get through those webs. Aside from your usual weapons, shears will save wearing down your sword (that's a lot of webs), and flint and steel will set fires among the webs, burning some away, providing light, and scorching any spiders that do spawn. A water bucket may be able to clear out the bottom layer of webs (and fend off some spiders), but will also take out any floor torches. Once you've spotted a cave spider lair, place warning markers in case you need to beat a hasty retreat. If it's in a corridor, you may want to add fence gates on nearby mine supports, blocking off the corridors nearby so as to choke off the spiders' approach. (Remember that unlike regular spiders, cave spiders can fit through 1×1 holes.) Approach with caution, killing spiders with bow or sword as they emerge from the webs. If you get poisoned, retreat to recover and heal yourself (Golden Apples and milk buckets are helpful). When you reach the webs, alternately plant torches (to cut down on spawning), set fires under webs or beams or wash them away with the bucket, or just manually clear the webs away with shears or a sword, until finally you can reach the spawner and take a pickaxe to it. Then kill any remaining spiders, clear out the rest of the webs, and check for more lairs nearby.

'''Mushroom stew''' is a [[food]] item.
== Obtaining ==
=== Harvesting ===
Mushroom stew can be obtained by “milking” a [[mooshroom]] with an empty [[bowl]]. This is accomplished by {{Control|using}} a bowl on a mooshroom. The bowl gets replaced by the mushroom stew item. There is no cooldown for doing so.
If a stack of more than one bowl is used on a mooshroom, only one bowl is consumed, and the mushroom stew goes into an empty inventory slot, or is dropped if the player's inventory is full.
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

|Output= Mushroom Stew
|type= Foodstuff
}}
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}
To eat mushroom stew, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|6}} [[hunger]] and 7.2 hunger
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
The bowl is returned to the player empty after the mushroom stew has been eaten, and can be reused to craft more, similarly to [[Rabbit Stew|rabbit stew]] and [[Beetroot Soup|beetroot soup]].

A '''spawn egg'''<ref group=fn>Known as '''''<Mob>'' Spawn Egg''' {{in|java}} and '''Spawn ''<Mob>''''' {{in|bedrock}}, where ''<Mob>'' is the name of the mob it spawns.</ref> is an [[item]] used to spawn [[mobs]] directly.
== Obtaining ==
Spawn eggs can be obtained only in [[Creative]] mode or using [[commands]]. In Creative mode, the [[player]] can press {{control|pick block}} on an existing mob to obtain their respective egg. Spawn eggs are also available in the Creative inventory. There are 77 spawn eggs {{in|bedrock}} and 75 spawn eggs {{in|java}}.
== Usage ==
A spawn egg is used by pressing {{control|use}} on any surface (top, bottom, or side) with the egg. When used on a top surface, the egg's [[mob]] appears with its feet immediately adjacent to the surface, and its ambient sound is played.
Spawn eggs are not thrown (unlike normal [[egg]]s); the player must be within normal range of the block to use the spawn egg. Ocelot and all monster mobs (except [[shulker]]s, [[piglin]]s, [[hoglin]]s; and in Bedrock Edition, also include [[vindicators]], [[evoker]]s, [[zoglin]]s, [[piglin brute]]s) spawned while on Peaceful difficulty get created and immediately deleted from the world.
The surfaces of blocks are prioritized for spawning; if none are within reach, mobs can also be spawned in [[water]].
=== Dispensers ===
A spawn egg fired from a [[dispenser]] spawns the [[mob]] directly in front of the dispenser. The spawn egg is consumed when fired.
=== Baby mobs ===
If the [[player]] {{control|uses}} a spawn egg on the type of [[mob]] it spawns, and that mob has a baby form, the egg spawns a baby version of the mob. In mobs that can breed, the baby is created by breeding the clicked mob to itself. For instance, using a sheep spawn egg on a [[sheep]] makes a baby sheep with the same wool color.{{only|java}}
Other mobs such as [[evoker]]s, [[vindicator]]s, [[vex]]es, [[piglin brute]]s, [[ravager]]s, [[phantom]]s, [[skeleton]]s, [[pillager]]s, [[creeper]]s and [[wither skeleton]]s do not have a baby variant, so the egg still spawns an adult.
=== Monster spawners ===
All spawn eggs can also be {{Control|used}} on a [[monster spawner]] to change the [[mob]] the monster spawner spawns. {{IN|bedrock}}, spawn eggs for any of the fish mobs spawn them only if the monster spawner is waterlogged.
=== Renaming ===
A spawn egg can be renamed on an [[anvil]], and when used it spawns a [[mob]] with that name appearing over its head. The name can be seen only by aiming at the mob from four or fewer blocks away. This name also appears in [[death messages]] from the mob killing a [[player]]. If the player renames a spawn egg by the names described below, the mob appears described below. If the player renames a [[rabbit]] spawn egg "Toast", the secret skin of the rabbit appears when the egg is used. Naming a spawn egg "Dinnerbone" or "Grumm" causes the mob to appear upside down and show the given name above it. Renaming a [[vindicator]] "Johnny" causes it to act hostile to all mobs except for other illagers. Renaming a [[sheep]] "jeb_" makes the sheep's wool color cycle in a rainbow loop. This doesn't change the color of the wool the sheep drops. Renaming a spawn egg of a [[Hostile mob|hostile mob]] with an [[anvil]] and then spawning the hostile mob with the renamed spawn egg does not prevent the hostile mob from despawning, unlike using a [[Name Tag|name tag]] on the mob.
=== Survival mode ===
Mobs can be spawned with spawn eggs in [[Survival]] mode, but spawn eggs are [[Content inaccessible in Survival|not obtainable in Survival]] without cheats; they can be obtained only using the Creative menu or commands. Unlike in creative, spawn eggs are consumed when used in survival.
== List of spawn eggs ==
There is a spawn egg for almost every mob in the game; exceptions are listed below this table.

'''Ghast tears''' are items [[Drops|dropped]] by [[ghast]]s. They can be used to make potions of [[Regeneration]] and [[end crystal]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Ghast]]s drop 0–1 ghast tears. [[Looting]] increases the maximum ghast tears dropped by one per level, for a maximum of 4 ghast tears with Looting III. Looting also works when knocking back a [[fireball]] with an enchanted item.

An '''amethyst shard''' is a crystal obtained from mining a fully grown [[amethyst cluster]] or can be obtained from chests in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
An [[amethyst cluster]] mined using a non-[[Silk Touch]], non-[[Fortune]] [[pickaxe]] drops 4 amethyst shards. When mined using any other tool, [[item]] or mechanism (such as [[explosion]]s or [[piston]]s) it drops 2 shards. The maximum amount of amethyst shards dropped can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance for eight shards, averaging 5.33 shards; Fortune II gives a 25% chance (each) to give eight or 12 shards, averaging 7 shards, and Fortune III gives a 20% chance (each) to give 8, 12, or 16 shards, averaging 8.8 shards.
If the amethyst cluster in any of its growth stages is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself rather than amethyst shards.

=== Allay duplication ===
If an amethyst shard is given to an [[allay]] that is currently dancing to an active [[jukebox]], the allay emits heart particles, consumes the amethyst shard and duplicates into another allay. After this, there is a 5 minute cool down until both allays can be duplicated like this again.

A '''compass''' is an item used to point to the world spawn or to a [[lodestone]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell a single compass for 4 [[emerald]]s.
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell a single compass for 4 emeralds.
== Usage ==
Normally, the compass' needle points toward the world [[Spawn#World spawn|spawn point]]. The compass points to spawn when viewed in any way, including as a dropped [[Item (entity)|item]], in a player's hand, in an inventory or the crafting table, or in an [[item frame]]. The direction the needle points to is relative to the player who is viewing it.
In [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], the compass' needle spins and points in random directions.
The compass can be used on a [[lodestone]], after which it is named lodestone compass by default and points to that lodestone as long as the compass is in the same dimension as the lodestone, but if the compass is taken to a different dimension, it spins randomly, as a normal compass would in the Nether or the End. If the lodestone is destroyed, it also spins randomly, even if the lodestone is replaced afterward. However, if a lodestone compass is placed in storage, the lodestone can be broken and replaced without the compass losing the attunement, as long as the compass remains in storage while the lodestone is missing.
A lodestone compass appears [[enchanting|enchanted]], similar to the [[Enchanted Golden Apple|enchanted golden apple]].
Using {{cmd|setworldspawn}} to change the world spawn also changes where the compass points.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Compass, Compass.gif}}
=== Anvil usage ===

=== Trading ===
A single compass can be sold to a journeyman-level cartographer villager for 1 [[emerald]].{{only|java}}
A single compass can be sold to an expert-level cartographer villager for 1 emerald as their sixth trade.{{only|bedrock}}
A compass is also part of the cost of [[explorer map]]s:
* An ocean explorer map and{{only|java|short=1}}/or{{only|bedrock|short=1}} a woodland explorer map can be bought from a journeyman-level cartographer for 12 emeralds and one compass, as part of their fifth trade.{{only|bedrock}}
* {{IN|java}}, apprentice-level cartographer villagers offer to sell an ocean explorer map for 13 emeralds and a compass, and journeyman-level cartographer villagers offer to sell a woodland explorer map for 14 emeralds and one compass.
=== Enchantments ===
A compass can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

'''String''' is an item used in [[crafting]] recipes such as [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[lead]]s. When placed as a [[block]], string becomes '''tripwire''', which can be combined with [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hooks]] to form a tripwire circuit.
== Obtaining==
String can be obtained from [[drop]]s, breaking [[cobweb]]s, [[fishing]], [[bartering]], and as gifts from [[cat]]s. String can be looted from [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert pyramid]] chests, and [[dungeon]]s.
===Breaking ===
Tripwire can be {{control|mine|text=mined}} instantly with any [[tool]], dropping string. Tripwire is also removed and drops string as an [[item]] when:
*[[Water]] flows into its space
* A [[piston]] pushes it or moves a [[block]] into its space
Tripwire is destroyed without dropping string if [[lava]] flows into its space.
A [[cobweb]] drops string when it is broken in these ways (see also {{section link|Cobweb|Usage}}):
*Breaking a cobweb with a [[sword]]
*Pushing a cobweb with a [[piston]]
*[[Water]] breaking a cobweb by flowing over it (flowing [[lava]] destroys cobwebs without leaving string)
===Natural generation===
Five pieces of tripwire generate naturally in every [[jungle temple]].
===Mob loot ===
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s drop 0–2 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 string with Looting III.
[[Strider]]s drop 2–5 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 string with Looting III.{{only|Java|short=1}}
[[Cat]]s drop 0–2 string upon death, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-200707||Looting does not increase drops for iron golems and cats}}</ref>
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|string}}
===Fishing===
String has a 0.6% ({{frac|3|500}}) chance of being caught when [[fishing]] with an unenchanted fishing rod. The chance decreases to 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}), 0.4% ({{frac|1|250}}), and 0.3% ({{frac|3|1000}}) if the fishing rod is enchanted with [[Luck of the Sea]] at enchantment levels I, II, and III, respectively.
===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a string.
===Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 3-9 string when given a [[gold ingot]].
== Usage==
String can be used as a crafting ingredient and tripwire can be used as a [[redstone circuit]] component. It can also be used to keep [[player]]s from ender-pearling through that space.
=== Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}
===Redstone component===
{{redirect|Tripwire|tripwire hooks|Tripwire Hook}}
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}
String can be placed as tripwire, which can be used to detect [[entity|entities]] as part of a tripwire circuit. [[Observer]]s can also be used with a tripwire to generate redstone signals.
;Placement
To place tripwire, {{control|use}} string while pointing at a surface facing the space the tripwire should occupy.
{{Schematic | caption =
'''Tripwire Circuit'''
|SB|th-$w|tw-$ew|th-$e|SB
}}
:In order to activate [[tripwire hook]]s, tripwire must be part of a "tripwire circuit": a straight line of [[block]]s consisting of a block with a tripwire hook attached to it, a "tripwire line" (1 to 40 blocks of tripwire), and a second tripwire hook attached to another block.
;Activation
Tripwire activates if almost any [[entity]] ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, [[minecart]]s, [[boat]]s, [[item]]s, [[arrow]]s, etc.) intersects its collision mask. The tripwire remains active until there are no entities intersecting its collision mask. Thrown [[potion]]s, some arrows, thrown [[ender pearl]]s, and thrown [[eyes of ender]] do not activate tripwire.
;Behavior
An active tripwire updates adjacent [[block]]s (for example, it can activate a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD circuit]]). Additionally, active tripwires that are part of valid tripwire circuits cause the attached tripwire hooks to activate (producing [[redstone]] power). Active tripwires do ''not'' themselves produce redstone power.
When tripwire is broken (including by being washed away by spreading [[water]] {{in|java}}) after being part of a valid tripwire circuit, it activates the attached tripwire hooks for 5 redstone ticks (10 game [[tick]]s, or 0.5 seconds barring lag). It does not produce the signal if it is broken using [[shear]]s.
===Trading===
Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 20 string as part of their first-tier trade.
Journeyman-level fletcher villagers buy 14 string for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

Bugs
- If an abandoned mine shaft intersects with a dungeon, then it may destroy the dungeon's chests, causing the contents to fall to the ground.
- When the mineshafts are being generated, there is likely to be a spot where two shafts are generated on top of each other, creating a very annoying obstacle if you are attempting to traverse the top shaft.
- Sometimes, some of the randomly placed torches will not give off light but will still give off flame particles.
- There may be flowers, grass blocks, and tall grass growing in the dirt room, even if it is nowhere near the surface.
- Sometimes a chest generated in an abandoned mine shaft might be empty.
- In extremely rare cases, a mineshaft might be generated above ground with a lighting glitch so that it appears that the shaft is underground. This will cause monsters to spawn even in daylight.
Trivia
- Entrances to mine shafts can also appear underwater, causing the mine shaft to flood.
- Sometimes torches may not be attached to blocks but still give off light.
- A chest might be generated right next to another one, creating a naturally occurring large chest.
- When Generated at bedrock layer Abandoned Mineshafts will cut through bedrock. It is currently unknown if it can cut through the last layer of bedrock.
- Due to how deep the shafts can go, it is possible to find exposed veins of diamond ore and emerald ore in corridors.
