All model and variant files are of the .json format. Block models are used to depict all the blocks in the game, whereas item models are used to display the items in the players hand, on their head (helmets and hats), on the ground and in the inventory. Therefore even the icons used in the inventory are defined in these files.

Block states

There are several different variants of some blocks, hence each block has its own block state file, which lists all its existing variants and links them to their corresponding model. These files are stored in the following folder: assets/minecraft/blockstates. These files are used directly based on their filename, thus a block state file with a different name will not affect the block.

  • The root tag
    •  variants: Holds the names of all the variants of the block.
      •  A variant: Name of a variant, which consists of the relevant BlockStates separated by commas. A block with just one variant uses normal as a name for its variant. Each variant contains the properties of its model. If more than one model is used, these models must be specified in separate-tags, which are subsidiary to the variant tag.
        •  A model: Contains the properties of a model, if more than one model is used for the same variant. All specified models alternate in the game.
          •  model: Specifies the path to the model file of the block, starting in assets/minecraft/models/blocks.
          •  x: Rotation of the model on the x-axis in increments of 90 degrees.
          •  y: Rotation of the model on the y-axis in increments of 90 degrees.
          •  uvlock: Rotates the texture with the block, if false (default).
          •  weight: Probability of the model being used in the game. The default value is 1 (=100%).
        •  model: Specifies the path to the model file of the block, starting in assets/minecraft/models/blocks.
        •  x: Rotation of the model on the x-axis in increments of 90 degrees.
        •  y: Rotation of the model on the y-axis in increments of 90 degrees.
        •  uvlock: Rotates the texture with the block, if false (default).

Example: Torch

The torch has several variants: It can be placed on the ground or at a wall facing in four different directions. This example is taken from the file torch.json, which can be found at assets/minecraft/blockstates.

File: torch.json

{
    "variants": {
        "facing=up": { "model": "normal_torch" },
        "facing=east": { "model": "normal_torch_wall" },
        "facing=south": { "model": "normal_torch_wall", "y": 90 },
        "facing=west": { "model": "normal_torch_wall", "y": 180 },
        "facing=north": { "model": "normal_torch_wall", "y": 270 }
    }
}

"facing=up" is the variant of the torch standing on the ground and links to the corresponding model "normal_torch". A torch can be placed on all four sides of a block and therefore needs four different variants, one for each side. These are called "facing=east", "facing=west", "facing=south" and "facing=north". All four variants use "normal_torch_wall" as their model, which is rotated by a multiple of 90 degrees around the "y" axis to align with the different sides of the block they are placed on.

Example: Grass Block

The grass block has two variants, whereby the first one holds four different models. This example is taken from the file grass.json, which can be found at assets/minecraft/blockstates.

File: grass.json

{
    "variants": {
        "snowy=false": [
            { "model": "grass_normal" },
            { "model": "grass_normal", "y": 90 },
            { "model": "grass_normal", "y": 180 },
            { "model": "grass_normal", "y": 270 }
        ],
        "snowy=true":  { "model": "grass_snowed" }
    }
}

The non-snow-covered grass block ("snowy=false") holds four models, which all use the same block model, but each one is rotated by a multiple of 90 degrees. As there are four models and the weight-tag is not used for any of them, each one has a chance of 25% to be used every time a block is placed.

Block models

The folder assets/minecraft/models/block holds the model files for all the specified variants. The names of the files can be changed, but must always correspond with the names used in the variant files.

  • The root tag
    •  parent: Loads a different model from the given path, starting in assets/minecraft/models .
    •  ambientocclusion: Whether to use ambient occlusion (true - default), or not (false).
    •  textures: Holds the textures of the model. Each texture starts in assets/minecraft/textures or can be another texture variable.
      •  particle: What texture to load particles from.
      •  A texture variable: Defines a texture variable and assigns a texture.
    •  elements: Contains all the elements of the model. they can only have cubic forms.
      •  An element
        •  from: Start point of a cube according to the scheme [x, y, z]. Values must be between -16 and 32.
        •  to: Stop point of a cube according to the scheme [x, y, z]. Values must be between -16 and 32.
        •  rotation: Defines the rotation of an element.
          •  origin: Sets the center of the rotation according to the scheme [x, y, z], defaults to [8, 8, 8].
          •  axis: Specifies the direction of rotation, can be "x", "y" or "z".
          •  angle: Specifies the angle of rotation. Can be 45 through -45 degrees in 22.5 degree increments. Defaults to 0.
          •  rescale: Specifies whether or not to scale the faces across the whole block. Can be true or false. Defaults to false.
        •  shade: Defines if shadows are rendered (true - default), not (false).
        •  faces: Holds all the faces of the cube. If a face is left out, it will not be rendered.
          •  down, up, north, south, west or east: Contains the properties of the specified face.
            •  uv: Defines the area of the texture to use according to the scheme [x1, y1, x2, y2]. If unset, it defaults to values equal to xyz position of the element. The texture behavior will be inconsistent if UV extends below 0 or above 16.
            •  texture: Specifies the texture in form of the texture variable prepended with a #.
            •  cullface: Specifies whether a face does not need to be rendered when there is a block touching it in the specified position. The position can be: down, up, north, south, west, or east.
            •  rotation: Rotates the texture in increments of 90 degrees.
            •  tintindex: Determines whether to tint the texture using a hardcoded tint index. The default is not using the tint, and any number causes it to use tint. Note that only certain blocks have a tint index, all others will be unaffected.

Example: Standing Torch

For simplicity, this example only describes the standing torch, which is defined in the files torch.json and normal_torch.json stored in the folder assets/minecraft/models/block.

File: torch.json

{
    "ambientocclusion": false,
    "textures": {
        "particle": "#torch"
    },
    "elements": [
        {   "from": [ 7, 0, 7 ],
            "to": [ 9, 10, 9 ],
            "shade": false,
            "faces": {
                "down": { "uv": [ 7, 13, 9, 15 ], "texture": "#torch" },
                "up":   { "uv": [ 7,  6, 9,  8 ], "texture": "#torch" }
            }
        },
        {   "from": [ 7, 0, 0 ],
            "to": [ 9, 16, 16 ],
            "shade": false,
            "faces": {
                "west": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#torch" },
                "east": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#torch" }
            }
        },
        {   "from": [ 0, 0, 7 ],
            "to": [ 16, 16, 9 ],
            "shade": false,
            "faces": {
                "north": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#torch" },
                "south": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#torch" }
            }
        }
    ]
}

This file is used to create the model of the torch, which is used for the normal and the redstone torch. Therefore the elements-tag is used to create three elements or cubes. Only two faces of each cube are rendered, as only two faces of each one have been specified. "uv" is used to determine the area where the texture is used. The texture variable "#torch" is used for the particles and the cubes and has not yet been defined.

File: normal_torch.json

{
    "parent": "block/torch",
    "textures": {
        "torch": "blocks/torch_on"
    }
}

This file represents the model of the normal standing torch. It loads the model of previously defined standing torch with the help of "parent" and inherits all the properties of the file torch.json. As this file is only used for the normal torch, the texture can now be specified. The texture"torch_on" is now assigned to the texture variable "torch" (without #) and will therefore be used for the previously loaded model and its particles, as specified in the other file.

Example: Any Block

This example describes the fundamental structure of most normal blocks in Minecraft. All these blocks use the same basic model and only apply their texture to it, as already described in the example above. This model is defined in the file cube.json which can be found in the folder assets/minecraft/models/block.

File: cube.json

{
    "elements": [
        {   "from": [ 0, 0, 0 ],
            "to": [ 16, 16, 16 ],
            "faces": {
                "down":  { "texture": "#down", "cullface": "down" },
                "up":    { "texture": "#up", "cullface": "up" },
                "north": { "texture": "#north", "cullface": "north" },
                "south": { "texture": "#south", "cullface": "south" },
                "west":  { "texture": "#west", "cullface": "west" },
                "east":  { "texture": "#east", "cullface": "east" }
            }
        }
    ]
}

Features, that have already been described above will not be mentioned again. The use of "cullface": "down" prevents the bottom face of the block from being rendered, if there is another adjacent block underneath it. The same applies to all the other faces of the block.

Example: Sapling

This example describes the fundamental structure used by all saplings, without assigning a specific texture. The model is specified in cross.json, the texture would e.g. be assigned in oak_sapling.json. Both files are stored in the folder assets/minecraft/models/block.

File: cross.json

{
    "ambientocclusion": false,
    "textures": {
        "particle": "#cross"
    },
    "elements": [
        {   "from": [ 0.8, 0, 8 ],
            "to": [ 15.2, 16, 8 ],
            "rotation": { "origin": [ 8, 8, 8 ], "axis": "y", "angle": 45, "rescale": true },
            "shade": false,
            "faces": {
                "north": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#cross" },
                "south": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#cross" }
            }
        },
        {   "from": [ 8, 0, 0.8 ],
            "to": [ 8, 16, 15.2 ],
            "rotation": { "origin": [ 8, 8, 8 ], "axis": "y", "angle": 45, "rescale": true },
            "shade": false,
            "faces": {
                "west": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#cross" },
                "east": { "uv": [ 0, 0, 16, 16 ], "texture": "#cross" }
            }
        }
    ]
}

To create the usual shape of the saplings, both elements are being rotated by 45 degrees. Therefor the origin and the axis of rotation are set to the specified values, the angle is set to 45 degrees and "rescale" is set to true. The latter causes the model to be scaled on the axes it has not been rotated on, so that it takes up the same space as it did before rotating it (see comparison images).

"rescale": true "rescale": false
Block model rescale true Block model rescale false

Item models

As items do not have different variants, there is no need to specify them. The folder assets/minecraft/models/item contains all the model files. The names of the files are hardcoded and should not be changed.

  • The root tag
    •  parent: Loads a different model from the given path, starting in assets/minecraft/models.
      • Can be set to "builtin/generated" to use a model that is created out of the specified icon.
      • Can be set to "builtin/entity" to load a model from an entity file. As you can not specify the entity, this does not work for all items (only for chests, ender chests, mob heads and banners).
      • Needs to be set to "builtin/compass" or "builtin/clock" for the compass and the clock.
    •  textures: Holds the textures of the model. Each texture starts in assets/minecraft/textures or can be another texture variable.
      •  layer#: Only used to specify the icon of the item used in the inventory. There can be more than just one layer (e.g. for spawn eggs), but the amount of possible layers is hardcoded for each item. Only works in combination with "builtin/generated".
      •  particle: What texture to load particles from. It can be used for the barrier. An example can be found below.
      •  A texture variable: Defines a texture variable and assigns a texture.
    •  elements: Contains all the elements of the model. They can only have cubic forms.
      •  An element
        •  from: Start point of a cube according to the scheme [x, y, z]. Values must be between -16 and 32.
        •  to: Stop point of a cube according to the scheme [x, y, z]. Values must be between -16 and 32.
        •  rotation: Defines the rotation of an element.
          •  origin: Sets the center of the rotation according to the scheme [x, y, z], defaults to [8, 8, 8].
          •  axis: Specifies the direction of rotation, can be "x", "y" or "z".
          •  angle: Specifies the angle of rotation. Can be 45 through -45 degrees in 22.5 degree increments. Defaults to 0.
        •  faces: Holds all the faces of the cube. If a face is left out, it will not be rendered.
          •  down, up, north, south, west or east: Contains the properties of the specified face.
            •  uv: Defines the area of the texture to use according to the scheme [x1, y1, x2, y2]. If unset, it defaults to values equal to xyz position of the element. The texture behavior will be inconsistent if UV extends below 0 or above 16.
            •  texture: Specifies the texture in form of the texture variable prepended with a #.
            •  cull: Specifies whether non-visible elements should be rendered (true), or not (false).
            •  rotation: Rotates the texture in increments of 90 degrees.
    •  display: Holds the different places where item models are displayed.
      •  thirdperson, firstperson, gui, head, ground, or fixed: Place where an item model is displayed. Holds its rotation, translation and scale for the specified situation. fixed refers to item frames, while the rest are as their name states.
        •  rotation: Specifies the rotation of the model according to the scheme [x, y, z].
        •  translation: Specifies the translation of the model according to the scheme [x, y, z]. If the value is greater than 24, it is displayed as 24. If the value is less then -24, it is displayed as -24.
        •  scale: Specifies the scale of the model according to the scheme [x, y, z]. If the value is greater than 4, it is displayed as 4.

Example: Torch

This example describes the torch as an item. The model can be found in the torch.json, which is stored in the folder assets/minecraft/models/item.

File: torch.json

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "blocks/torch_on"
    }
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
        },
        "firstperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]
        }
    }
}

The "parent"-tag uses "builtin/generated", so that game uses the standard model of the torch, which has been generated out of the 2D graphic used for the item icon. The icon is specified with the "layer0"-tag and the texture, that has already been used for the block model, is used for the icon as well. As there is just one layer hard coded for the torch, there cannot be any more layers added. Furthermore, the display properties for the torch are specified, so that it will be displayed correctly in every possible situation. The torch cannot be placed on a players head and uses the specified icon in the inventory, so there is no need to adjust the model for these situations. To line the model up with the players hand in first and third person view, the model needs to be rotated, moved and scaled, which is done for each of the two situation separately.

Special

Barrier

This example shows that the particle of the barrier can have an different texture like the item. It should be pasted in the file barrier.json, which is stored in the folder assets/minecraft/models/item. The texture of the paticle must be in assets/minecraft/textures/particles as barrier.png.

File: barrier.json

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "items/barrier",
        "particle": "particles/barrier"
    }
    "display": {
        "thirdperson": {
            "rotation": [ -90, 0, 0 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 1, -3 ],
            "scale": [ 0.55, 0.55, 0.55 ]
        },
        "firstperson": {
            "rotation": [ 0, -135, 25 ],
            "translation": [ 0, 4, 2 ],
            "scale": [ 1.7, 1.7, 1.7 ]
        }
    }
}

This feature can be used to make a fade effect by making the particle transparent.

3D plants

This example shows that a block can be rendered like an item too. The model can be pasted in cross.json, the texture would e.g. be assigned in oak_sapling.json. Both files should be stored in the folder assets/minecraft/models/block.

File: cross.json

{
    "parent": "builtin/generated",
    "ambientocclusion": false,
    "textures": {
        "layer0": "#cross",
        "particle": "#cross"
    }
}

You can only have one layer and you can only rotate it in the blockstates by 90 degrees.

'''Nether wart''' is a fungus harvested from nether wart crops and is used to plant them, as well as being vital in the creation of [[potions]].

'''Nether wart crops''' are found in [[Nether Fortress/Structure|nether fortresses]] and [[Bastion Remnant|bastions]] and is used to grow nether wart in [[Soul Sand|soul sand]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Nether wart can be mined instantly with any tool. A fully mature nether wart crop yields 2–4 nether wart. This is increased by one for each level of [[Fortune]], this allows for a maximum of 7 nether warts dropping from one crop. Less mature stages drop one nether wart, even with the Fortune enchantment.

=== Natural generation ===
Nether wart can generate in [[nether fortress]]es in [[soul sand]] gardens around stairwells. Nether wart can also generate in the courtyards of housing unit [[bastion remnant]]s. Due to only spawning in these specific structures, it's entirely possible for a nether fortress or bastion remnant to generate without nether wart (though they may still appear in the chests that generate in the fortress).

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|nether-wart}}

== Usage == 

=== Brewing ingredient ===
Nether wart's primary purpose is to [[brew]] the [[Potion|awkward potion]], the base for all potions, but optional for Weakness.

{{brewing
  |showname=1
  |Nether Wart
  |Awkward Potion
  |base=Water Bottle
}}

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

Master-level cleric [[villager]]s buy 22 nether warts for an [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Nether Wart farming}}
When planted on [[soul sand]], nether wart grows through four stages, though the middle two stages use the same texture (the hitbox of stage 3 is three pixels taller). {{IN|java}}, the exact age can be seen using the [[debug screen]], and the ages range from 0 to 3. Each random tick, nether wart has a 10% chance of growing one stage. At default random tick speed, each nether wart grows one age step approximately every {{convert|13653|ticks|minutes}} on average, and fully grows from planting to harvest every {{convert|40960|ticks|minutes}} on average. The growth rate is not affected by light or any other environmental factors. [[Bone meal]] cannot be used on the nether wart.

Nether wart can only be planted on [[soul sand]]. It cannot be planted on [[soul soil]]. It can grow in any [[dimension]].

Nether wart is ready to harvest when it reaches its fourth stage (age:3). Breaking a fully grown nether wart drops 2 to 4 nether wart, while an immature one drops a single nether wart. Using a tool enchanted with fortune increases the maximum number of nether wart dropped by 1 per level, for a maximum of 7 for a tool enchanted with [[Fortune|Fortune III]].

=== Composting ===
Placing a nether wart into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

==Issues==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Nether wart's stage changes cannot be detected by a [[block update detector]], but can by an [[observer]] block.
* Unlike other crimson "plants", nether wart doesn't have a warped equivalent. This is also the case with [[nether sprouts]], which lack a crimson equivalent.

14w06aAdded custom block models.
14w07aRewrote the model format. Instead of having just "planes", it now has "planes" and "cubes". The rotation of objects was also limited to one directional rotation per object in increments of 22.5 degrees.
14w11aLighting on solid block no longer makes inner sections completely black.
14w11bGeneric blocks now load models instead of pre-defined shapes.
April 12, 2014TheMogMiner posts about upcoming changes to the model format.
14w17aConverted most of the remaining static blocks to the model format.
Added "rotateVariantTextures" to preserve uv details through rotation.
14w25aRemoved the directional attribute from the uv definition and replaced it with explicit texture references. "textureFacing" was replaced with "texture" parameter which is prepended with the hash symbol (#).
"useAmbientOcclusion" renamed to "ambientocclusion"
"rotateVariantTextures" renamed to "UV lock"
"cull" renamed to "cullface", specifies the opposite of which neighboring face causes culling to occur
Rotation made more verbose, it is now more clear that it can only occur on a single axis. Example, the rotation for one of the two faces of the "cross" model is now: "rotation": { "origin": [ 8, 8, 8 ], "axis": "y", "angle": 45, "rescale": true },
The folder models/blocks/meshes was removed and model files are now stored in models/block.
The folder blockstates was added and stores the model selection files previously found in models/block..
The model format now supports custom item models.
14w27aReplaced block state names with data which better reflects the internal data. Does not yet reflect all data for some blocks. Will switch to using the actual stored data in a future version when numerical data values are completely dropped in favor of block states.
14w27bThe block state files now support an array of models allowing for random models.
14w30aAdded the item model "builtin/entity".

'''Scutes''' are [[item]]s that baby [[turtle]]s drop when they grow into adults. They can be used to craft [[turtle shell]]s which can be used to brew the [[potion of the Turtle Master]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

Baby [[turtle]]s drop a single scute when they grow up into adults, which is the only way possible to obtain the [[item]].

== Usage ==

Scutes can be crafted into [[turtle shell]]s.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Repairing ===
Scutes are the [[repair]] items for the turtle [[armor material]], and thus can be used to repair [[turtle shell]]s in an [[anvil]].

=== Trading ===
Expert-level cleric [[villager]]s have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to buy 4 scutes for an [[emerald]] as part of their [[trading|trades]].{{only|java}}

A '''chalkboard''' is a [[block]] that can display more text than a [[sign]].<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-slates-posters-boards/</ref> Three sizes are available: 1×1 (slate), 2×1 (poster), and 3×2 (board).

== Obtaining ==
In ''[[Education Edition]]'', chalkboards can be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]] or through the {{cmd|give}} command.
In ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'', chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors.

== Usage ==
A chalkboard can be used similarly to a [[sign]], to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen.

=== Placement ===
Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like [[fence]]s, [[glass]], [[rail]]s, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{control|use}} a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard 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 chalkboard.

1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards.

=== Text ===
When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor.

While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line.

After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered.

=== Interaction ===
Chalkboards act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so {{control|sneaking}} is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them.

Unlike signs, boards block a [[piston]] from moving.

Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around boards. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn.
