A dungeon (Torch added by player).
Dungeons are naturally generated structures that appear in the Overworld.
They are small rooms made of Cobblestone and Moss Stone and contain a hostile Mob Spawner and up to 2 Chests. Finding a dungeon without a chest is very unlikely, but possible. Dungeons generate with either a zombie, skeleton, or spider spawner that can easily be deactivated by placing torches all around the spawner.
Anyone exploring a cavern should be wary of encountering a dungeon, as they are almost always connected to large caverns, and are very dangerous. Spider Jockeys can spawn here if either the spider spawner spawns a spider and at exactly the same instant, a skeleton spawns in the same place as the spider.
Dungeons do exist on peaceful mode, as they are generated with the map. Monster Spawners will still spawn mobs in peaceful mode, but the mobs will instantly despawn.
Properties
Dungeons are generated as a 5x5, 5x7, or 7x7 floor space surrounded by cobblestone and moss stone. Dungeons contain 0-2 chests (two chests may be adjacent, forming a large chest), unless they are overwritten by a cave or other structure, dungeons also contain a monster spawner, which can be used to make a mob spawner trap. It is also possible to find two dungeons joined together, with 2 spawners and 0-4 chests.
It is possible to find a dungeon almost anywhere in the ground, but they rarely spawn high in the stone layer of a map. As dungeons can spawn almost anywhere, there have been reports of dungeons being generated in unusual locations resulting in abnormal circumstances such as without a floor or within lava or underwater as shown in the gallery below. This often results in adverse or even advantageous side effects. A common side effect of such an occurrence is partial generation of the dungeon resulting in the loss of chests or a spawner. Dungeons may also spawn in abandoned mine shafts, ravines, and even strongholds (although this is very rare).
The mob spawner acts as a guard for the loot, spawning endless mobs until the player can light up the room enough to stop new mobs from being spawned, or simply break the spawner itself. This is usually accomplished by placing a torch on and around the spawner. The mob spawner is always in the center of the dungeon room, with chests located around the walls of the room (large chests can connect with the short side against the wall). The chests contain randomly generated treasure that are placed in random slots.
There is a 50% chance the spawner will be a Zombie spawner, 25% chance of Skeletons, and 25% chance of Spiders (*Note: This is only relevant to spawners generated in dungeons).
Chest contents
Each dungeon chest block contains up to 8 item stacks, with the following distribution:
| Item stack | Chance to spawn |
Chance of at least one stack in a chest |
Amount in one stack |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saddle | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1 |
| Iron Ingot | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1-4 |
| Bread | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1-2 |
| Wheat | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1-4 |
| Gunpowder | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1-4 |
| String | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1-4 |
| Bucket | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1 |
| Cocoa Beans | 1⁄11 | 53% | 1-3 |
| Redstone Dust | 1⁄22 | 31% | 1-4 |
| Music Discs | 1⁄110 | 8% | 1 |
| Golden Apple | 1⁄1100 | 0.7% | 1 |
This information was obtained from Minecraft's code. The generation algorithm places one of these items in a random slot in the chest eight times, possibly overwriting items already placed.
Locating a Dungeon
A reliable way of locating dungeons is through listening, either for a large amount of noise from one kind of mob, or for ambience. Neither of these things are an exclusive trait of a dungeon, but they do mean that there is an unlit and unexplored area nearby, which may well be a dungeon, particularly in the case of frequent and similar mob noises.
Another good way of locating a dungeon is searching for moss stone inside of a cave, abandoned mine shafts, etc. this may be the fastest way to locate a dungeon. Another way is to look for newly placed cobblestone

The '''Ankle monitor''' was a joke foot item.
== Usage ==
Ankle monitors were equipped in the boots slot. In survival mode, when equipped, it could not be taken off. However, players in Creative mode are unaffected.
When equipped, the player would be afflicted with {{EffectLink|Slowness}} I.
During the night, being a certain number of blocks from the world spawn, above a certain minimum,{{checkthecode|how much?}} would prompt the following message in chat: "CURFEW WARNING! You are violating your house arrest! Get back by [distance] meters!"
If in [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], a different set of messages would be cycled through which can be seen in the section below.
=== Nether and End messages ===
* CURFEW WARNING! You are violating your house arrest! Uuuh... where are you anyway?
* CURFEW WARNING! Hello, are you there?
* CURFEW WARNING! I'm sure you have important things to do, but you need to go back!
* CURFEW WARNING! We're lonely back home!
* CURFEW WARNING! By "we" I mean I. I'm lonely.
* CURFEW WARNING! Ok enough games... GET BACK RIGHT NOW!

* CURFEW WARNING! Now you die.
* CURFEW WARNING! Boom!
* CURFEW WARNING! Hehe, fun right?

{{Item
| image = Bone.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}}
A '''bone''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained from [[skeleton]]s and similar mobs. It can be crafted into [[Bone Meal|bone meal]] or used to tame wild [[Wolf|wolves]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|bone}}
=== Mob loot ===
Skeletons, [[wither skeleton]]s, [[skeleton horse]]s, and [[stray]]s may drop 0–2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 bones with Looting III.
{{IN|bedrock}}, [[salmon]], [[cod]], [[pufferfish]], and [[tropical fish]] have 25% chance to drop 1-2 bones upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 2-8 bones with Looting III.
Salmon (small and medium size) have 25% chance to drop 1 bone upon death, The maximum drop is increased by 1 to 2 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2-7 bones with Looting III. The chance of dropping bones increases by 1% per looting level, so with Looting III there is up to a 28% chance of bones dropping.
=== Fishing ===
Bones can also be obtained by [[fishing]] as part of the junk category. The best chance of catching a bone is achieved without the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment, yielding a 1.1% chance.
== Usage ==
=== Helmet ===
[[File:Steve wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
[[File:Alex wearing Bone.png|thumb|right|75px]]
While a bone cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear in the player's mouth.
=== Taming ===
Using a bone on a wild [[wolf]] has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of [[taming]] it. Bones cannot tame a hostile wolf or a wolf that has already been tamed. However, bones can be used to attract the attention of the tamed ones.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
A bone can be crafted into 3 bone meal.

A '''spyglass''' is a [[tool]] used to zoom in on distant objects.
== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|B1=Amethyst Shard
|B2=Copper Ingot
|B3=Copper Ingot
|Output=Spyglass
|type=Tool
}}
== Usage ==
[[File:Steve scoping Spyglass.png|right|100px]] [[File:Alex scoping Spyglass.png|right|100px]]
To use a spyglass, the player selects it from the hotbar and clicks {{control|use}} while looking in the desired direction.
Spyglasses are used to zoom in on a specific location in the player's field of view (FOV). The spyglass changes the FOV to {{frac|1|10}} of the FOV set in [[options]]. By default, the FOV is set to 70° in ''Java Edition'' and 60° in Bedrock Edition, resulting in an FOV of 7° in ''Java Edition'' and 6° in Bedrock Edition through the spyglass. The player's FOV can be set from 30° to 110°, so the spyglass FOV can range from 3° to 11°. Regardless of the situation, or status effects the player has, using the Spyglass always shows a FOV {{frac|1|10}} of the FOV set in [[options]].
A square vignette is applied when in use, similar to the effect when wearing a [[carved pumpkin]]. Pressing {{key|F1}} removes the vignette,{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-203575||The spyglass overlay goes away when pressing F1|WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-125869||Spyglass's overlay don't go away even if the player toggles Hide GUI on/ Pressing F1|}}</ref> similar to a carved pumpkin.
Hazy distant objects remain hazy when viewed in the spyglass. Mobs too distant to render also do not render in the spyglass. The spyglass shows a magnified view of what the player already sees.
The player is slowed down while watching through the spyglass. When the player uses the spyglass continuously for {{convert|1|minute|game tick}}, the interface is automatically closed.
If the player has a certain effect on their screen like [[fire]], the spyglass does not remove that effect on the player's screen.

Tips
- To defeat a dungeon, aside from the obvious method of fighting the monsters and lighting up the area, one can instead tunnel underneath it and destroy the spawner from below.
- It is also possible to dig a tunnel above the dungeon and flood the area with lava, kill all of the mobs, then place torches to disable the spawner just as the last of the lava disappears. You can fill the entire dungeon with sand and/ or gravel. When the blocks that gravity applies to fall on top of the mobs, they will be crushed and killed. Once the room is filled, you can dig out the chest and loot it. You can also set a block of TNT above the spawner and prime the TNT, but doing so will destroy the spawner, and the dungeon cannot be used as mob grinder.
- Digging around the sides of the dungeon will allow you to bypass the spawner and loot the chests directly without any risk of health loss.
- A fast way to collect loot from the chest is to destroy the chest rather than removing the items from it. This way you collect all loot as well as the chest.
- Torches can be placed directly on the monster spawner. Placing one on each side provides the same effect as placing a torch on the blocks adjacent to the spawner, without needing to be replaced when you mine the floor out for Moss Stone.
Trivia
The rare occurrence of a caved in dungeon.
- Dungeons will still generate if the 'generate structures' option is toggled to off, even though they are claimed not to by the in-game description.
- Dungeons are almost always connected to a cavern, and because the cavern can be as small as a single block of air, the dungeon could completely overwrite it, usually resulting in a dungeon with no entrance.
- Rarely, a mushroom will appear in a dungeon on mossy cobblestone.
- It is possible, though almost impossibly rare for a dungeon to be generated at bedrock level, thereby deleting the bedrock. In which case digging through the moss stone can lead into the Void.
- Rarely, on peaceful, a monster spawner may spawn a monster that plays its sound file before it can despawn.
- If a dungeon has fallen gravel or sand in it, then placing a torch on the spawner may not be sufficient to light up the entire area to prevent spawning.
- It is rarely possible for a player to find a dungeon with two spawners and up to 4 chests. This only occurs when a 5x5 dungeon spawns within a 7x7 dungeon, since the dungeon will remove any blocks from the walls or floor that open into a cave, the walls of the smaller dungeon will be removed, resulting in a 7x7 floor space with one spawner in the middle, and a second spawner adjacent or diagonally adjacent to the first.
- Double-chest dungeons as shown below may have chests that form a perpendicular barrier between the wall and spawner (an exception to this would be in 7x7 dungeons, in which the chest cannot reach the spawner):
- Extremely rarely, if 2 dungeons cross into each other, 1 of the monster spawners will be replaced by cobblestone. However, this EXTREMELY rare.
|
|
|
- The Moss Stone pattern on the dungeon floor seems to have a pattern, most noticeable with a 5x5 dungeon, where a 2x2 cube of moss stone lays in one corner. Unknown if this happens with 5x7 or 7x7 dungeons.
- If a dungeon loads in two chunks and one regenerates (often causing a flat vertical wall), the dungeon can become partially generated. This can be found if one of the walls of the dungeon is not cobblestone, but rather stone. Sometimes, the partially generated dungeon will not have a spawner or a chest. Example of a partially generated dungeon
- The contents of chests in dungeons appear to be based on the world seed.
- If you are playing on peaceful in a skeleton dungeon, sometimes skeletons will shoot arrows before despawning.
- Rarely, three chests can be found in a single generated dungeon, though this might be due to a generation bug. [citation needed]
- Because of the way dungeons generate, it is possible, but extremely rare, for a Monster Spawner to be replaced with Cobblestone or Mossy Cobblestone if two dungeons generate next to each other.
- In 1.3 Dungeons only have the regular un-enchanted Golden Apple in it.
