This article is about the NBT file format. For using NBT in commands, see Tutorials/Command NBT tags.

The Named Binary Tag format is used by Minecraft for the various files in which it saves data. The format is described by Notch in a very brief specification. The format is designed to store data in a tree structure made up of various tags. All tags have an ID and a name. The original known version was 19132 as introduced in Beta 1.3, and since then has been updated to 19133 with Anvil, with the addition of the Int Array tag. The NBT format dates all the way back to Indev with tags 0 to 10 in use.

Another more user-friendly format of NBT is in plain string, as used in commands. This format is referred to as SNBT, short for stringified NBT. It is different from the JSON format; hence, any JSON used in NBT, such as raw json text, must be enclosed within a string tag.

TAG definition

A tag is an individual part of the data tree. The first byte in a tag is the tag type (ID), followed by a two byte big-endian unsigned integer for the length of the name, then the name as a string in UTF-8 format (Note TAG_End is not named and does not contain the extra 2 bytes; the name is assumed to be empty). The name of tags may contain spaces, although Minecraft itself never saves tags with spaces in the names. Finally, depending on the type of the tag, the bytes that follow are part of that tag's payload. This table describes each of the 13 known tags in version 19133 of the Named Binary Tag format:

ID Icon Tag Type Payload SNBT Format‌[JE only] Description Storage Capacity
0 TAG_End None. - Used to mark the end of compound tags. This tag does not have a name, so it is only ever a single byte 0. It may also be the type of empty List tags. N/A
1 TAG_Byte 1 byte / 8 bits, signed <number>b or <number>B A signed integral type. Sometimes used for booleans. Full range of -(27) to (27 - 1)
(-128 to 127)
2 TAG_Short 2 bytes / 16 bits, signed, big endian <number>s or <number>S A signed integral type. Full range of -(215) to (215 - 1)
(-32,768 to 32,767)
3 TAG_Int 4 bytes / 32 bits, signed, big endian <number> A signed integral type. Full range of -(231) to (231 - 1)
(-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647)
4 TAG_Long 8 bytes / 64 bits, signed, big endian <number>l or <number>L A signed integral type. Full range of -(263) to (263 - 1)
(-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807)
5 TAG_Float 4 bytes / 32 bits, signed, big endian, IEEE 754-2008, binary32 <number>f or <number>F A signed floating point type. Precision varies throughout number line;
See Single-precision floating-point format. Maximum value about 3.4*1038
6 TAG_Double 8 bytes / 64 bits, signed, big endian, IEEE 754-2008, binary64 <decimal number>, <number>d or <number>D A signed floating point type. Precision varies throughout number line;
See Double-precision floating-point format. Maximum value about 1.8*10308
7 TAG_Byte_Array TAG_Int's payload size, then size TAG_Byte's payloads. [B;<byte>,<byte>,...] An array of bytes. Maximum number of elements ranges between (231 - 9) and (231 - 1) (2,147,483,639 and 2,147,483,647), depending on the specific JVM.
8 TAG_String TAG_Short's payload length, then a UTF-8 string with size length. <a-zA-Z0-9 text>, "<text>" (" within needs to be escaped to \"), or '<text>' (' within needs to be escaped to \') A UTF-8 string. It has a size, rather than being null terminated. 32,767 bytes interpretable as UTF-8 (see UTF-8 format; most commonly-used characters are a single byte).
9 TAG_List TAG_Byte's payload tagId, then TAG_Int's payload size, then size tags' payloads, all of type tagId. [<value>,<value>,...] A list of tag payloads, without repeated tag IDs or any tag names. Due to JVM limitations and the implementation of ArrayList, the maximum number of list elements is (231 - 9), or 2,147,483,639. Also note that List and Compound tags may not be nested beyond a depth of 512.
10 TAG_Compound Fully formed tags, followed by a TAG_End. {<tag name>:<value>,<tag name>:<value>,...} A list of fully formed tags, including their IDs, names, and payloads. No two tags may have the same name. Unlike lists, there is no hard limit to the number of tags within a Compound (of course, there is always the implicit limit of virtual memory). Note, however, that Compound and List tags may not be nested beyond a depth of 512.
11 TAG_Int_Array TAG_Int's payload size, then size TAG_Int's payloads. [I;<integer>,<integer>,...] An array of TAG_Int's payloads. Maximum number of elements ranges between (231 - 9) and (231 - 1) (2,147,483,639 and 2,147,483,647), depending on the specific JVM.
12 TAG_Long_Array TAG_Int's payload size, then size TAG_Long's payloads. [L;<long>,<long>,...] An array of TAG_Long's payloads. Maximum number of elements ranges between (231 - 9) and (231 - 1) (2,147,483,639 and 2,147,483,647), depending on the specific JVM.

The List and Compound tags can be and often are recursively nested. It should also be noted that, in a list of lists, each of the sub-lists can list a different kind of tag.

File Format

An NBT file is a GZip'd Compound tag, name and tag ID included. Some of the files utilized by Minecraft may be uncompressed, but in most cases the files follow Notch's original specification and are compressed with GZip. In the Legacy Console Edition, chunks are compressed with XMemCompress, a variation of an LZX compression algorithm. There is no header to specify the version or any other information - only the level.dat file specifies the version.

As used in Minecraft

Minecraft's use of the NBT format is odd at times. In some instances, empty lists may be represented as a list of Byte tags rather than a list of the correct type, or as a list of End tags in newer versions of Minecraft, which can break some older NBT tools. Additionally, almost every root tag has an empty name string and encapsulates only one Compound tag with the actual data and a name. For instance:

  • The root tag for most Minecraft NBT structures.
    •  SomeName: The only tag contained within the root tag - it has a name and contains all the actual data.

Another noticeable oddity is that, although the original specification by Notch allows for spaces in tag names, and even the example uses spaces in the tag names, Minecraft has no known files where any tags have spaces in their names. There is also inconsistent use of letter case, mostly either camelCase or PascalCase, but sometimes even in all lowercase.

Software

Mojang has provided sample Java NBT classes for developers to use and reference as part of the source code for the McRegion -> Anvil converter. Since 1.13, Minecraft includes a builtin converter between SNBT format and compressed NBT format. It comes with the client and the official server.[1]

Official

The data generator from Minecraft is able to convert uncompressed Stringified NBT files with .snbt extension in an input folder to GZip compressed NBT format files with .nbt extension in an output folder, and vice versa.

The vanilla data generator can convert any GZip compressed NBT format to SNBT format. You can simply change the file extension of a file, such as level.dat to level.nbt and put it in the input folder, and the generator will decode the GZip compressed NBT data.

Third-Party

The community has developed programs to view and modify compressed and uncompressed NBT files:

Name NBT Version Description Screenshot
CL-NBT 19132 CL-NBT is an NBT implementation in Common Lisp that can read and write NBT files and load and save McRegion files. Anvil format works with slight modification.
MineBack Ultimate 19133 MineBack Ultimate provides a full NBT editor supporting all available types of NBT format file (Map, Level, World etc.). It comes with a modern GUI and many helper functions. File:MineBackNBTEditor.png
NBT for Python 19133 Library to parse & write NBT files, both standalone or in region files, in the Python scripting language. Provided with application examples for inspecting & editing the Minecraft data files (block / chest / mobs statistics and simple world mapping). Supports old McRegion, pre-flattened and latest Anvil formats.
NBTEdit 19132 Allows for viewing and modifying NBT files via a Windows tree control. It is outdated not only from being an NBT version behind, but because it does not support multiple tags with the same name and it forces incorrect ranges on some types, and it lacks support for uncompressed NBT files. File:NBTEdit Level.Dat.png
NBTExplorer - Forum Post 19133 Inspired by and based on NBTEdit, this program allows viewing and editing of NBT files via a Windows tree control. It supports compressed and uncompressed NBT files, and allows for direct editing of the NBT structures in MCRegion and Anvil files, level.dat, etc. File:NBTExplorer.png
NBT grammar for Synalyze It! 19132 Using this grammar Synalyze It! displays a color-coded hex dump along with the parsed tag tree. Currently only uncompressed files are supported. File:Synalyze-It-NBT-decoded.png
NEINedit 19132 NBT editor for mac with a text-based tree structure. File:NEINedit.png
webNBT 19133 webNBT is an NBT-editor that runs in modern browsers without requiring the user to download an application or use third-party browser plugins (like Flash or Java).

A '''cauldron''' is a [[block]] that can contain [[water]], [[lava]] or [[powder snow]] and, in certain situations, collect it from the environment. {{IN|bedrock}}, it can also hold [[potion]]s or dyed water. It also serves as a [[leatherworker]]'s [[job site block]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===

A cauldron can be obtained using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Regardless of the tool, when a cauldron is destroyed, its contents are lost.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Cauldron|Pickaxe|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===

[[File:Natural Cauldron Table.png|A naturally occurring cauldron inside of a [[witch hut]].|thumb]]

A single empty cauldron is generated in each [[swamp hut]]. {{IN|be}}, the cauldrons generated there are {{frac|1|3}} to {{frac|2|3}} full of a random [[potion]].

A cauldron {{frac|2|3}} full of water is generated in each [[igloo]] basement.
[[File:MansionJailInner.png|thumb|Cauldron in [[woodland mansion]] jail.]]
Cauldrons can be found in a few rooms inside of [[woodland mansion]]s.

Two filled cauldrons can be found inside savanna, taiga, snowy taiga, and snowy tundra [[village]] tannery houses.

A single filled cauldron can be found in plains village and desert village tannery houses.

{{IN|java}}, three filled cauldrons can be found in plains village tannery houses.

Cauldrons can also spawn in [[trail ruins]].

=== Crafting ===

A cauldron can be crafted from [[iron ingot]]s.
{{Crafting

|C1= Iron Ingot
|A2= Iron Ingot
|C2= Iron Ingot
|A3= Iron Ingot
|B3= Iron Ingot
|C3= Iron Ingot
|Output= Cauldron
|type= Brewing
}}

== Usage ==

=== Storage for substances ===
Cauldrons can hold a variety of substances. Fluids they cannot hold include [[milk]], [[Honey Bottle|honey]] and any food items that exist in [[bowl]]s; namely [[mushroom stew]], [[beetroot soup]], [[rabbit stew]] and [[suspicious stew]]. {{IN|java}}, cauldrons containing fluids are considered by the game to be separate blocks from each other and from empty cauldrons, which does not affect gameplay but does affect the commands needed to place them.

==== Holding water ====
A cauldron can be filled with [[water]] by {{control|using}} a [[water bucket]] on the cauldron. Once completely filled, a cauldron can be used to fill a water bucket by {{control|using}} an empty [[bucket]] on the cauldron; this empties the cauldron. Despite containing water, using a [[fish bucket]] on a cauldron does not fill it with water, but places water against it, meaning it does nothing to the cauldron.<ref>{{bug|MC-129109|||WAI}}</ref>

A cauldron can also be filled by dumping a water bucket on the block above the cauldron. Once the water block is removed, the cauldron is filled to the full level with water.{{only|be}}

It can contain three levels of water. One level of water can be added to a cauldron by {{control|using}} a [[water bottle]] on it. One level of water can be removed from a cauldron, filling a water bottle, by {{control|using}} a [[glass bottle]] on it.

A cauldron slowly fills with [[water]] when [[rain]]ed upon, if starting empty or with some water. This happens randomly, at 5% of the rate in which snow accumulates on the ground during [[snowfall]].

Water can be stored in a cauldron even in [[the Nether]]. Water in a cauldron does not freeze in cold biomes.

Water in a cauldron does ''not'' absorb [[explosion]] damage; make [[sound]]s and [[particle]]s; absorb fall damage;<ref>{{bug|MC-176867|||WF}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-104572|||WF}}</ref> allow [[Riptide]] [[trident]]s to activate;<ref>{{bug|MC-145311|||WF}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-93111}}</ref> or damage [[endermen]], [[strider]]s, or [[blaze]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-106813|||WF}}</ref> Cauldrons do ''not'' deal drowning damage to mobs inside of them<ref>{{bug|MC-152680}}</ref> and [[fish]] act as if there is no water inside it.<ref>{{bug|MC-126819|||WF}}</ref> The player ''cannot'' float or [[swim]] in it, as the water is about level with the player's waist. Jumping in a cauldron does ''not'' produce any bubble or water particles.

A cauldron placed below a down-facing [[pointed dripstone]] that has water placed a block above it slowly fills with water. The same works with [[lava]], allowing for infinite lava generation.

Attempting to add lava or potion to water empties the cauldron.{{only|be}} 


The water in a cauldron cannot be sucked up by a [[sponge]], whether the sponge is touching the cauldron or not. 

===== Applying dye to cauldron water =====
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=yes}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, leather armor is dyed through a cauldron, so a cauldron can hold dyed [[water]]. {{control|Using}} a dye on a cauldron filled with water colors the water, consuming the dye. Different dyes may be added to produce mixed colors. {{control|Using}} [[leather armor]] or [[leather horse armor]] on the cauldron dyes that item the color of the water, reducing the water in the cauldron by one level for each item dyed.

Attempting to add water, lava or potion to dyed water empties the cauldron.

==== Holding lava ====
[[File:Lava Cauldron.png|150px|thumb|Cauldron filled with lava]]

Cauldrons can be used to hold lava. {{IN|be|ee}}, when a cauldron is already filled with water, it empties the cauldron and makes an extinguishing sound. A cauldron filled with lava emits a light level of 15, similar to lava, and burns any [[entity]] inside of it; {{in|be|ee|short=1}}, this includes mobs that do not take damage from lava like [[zombified piglin]]s.

Lava inside a cauldron does not interact with water outside of the cauldron. The lava disappears upon putting water in the cauldron.

A [[redstone comparator]] with a lava cauldron behind it outputs redstone signal strength of 3.<ref name=JavaLava>{{bug|MC-204393}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-104824}}</ref>

A cauldron placed below a down-facing [[pointed dripstone]] that has lava placed a block above it slowly fills with lava.

If a cauldron is filled by lava, using glass bottles on the cauldron does nothing.

==== Holding powder snow ====
[[Powder snow]] is currently the only solid material that can be stored in a cauldron. A cauldron slowly fills with powder snow during [[snowfall]], if starting empty or with any layer of powder snow already inside. Up to three layers can be filled. When the cauldron is full, {{ctrl|interacting}} using a [[bucket]], creates a [[powder snow bucket]] and empties the cauldron. Entities standing in the cauldron do not take freeze damage, and entities wearing [[leather boots]] still fall through the powder snow.

A [[redstone comparator]] with a powder snow cauldron behind it outputs a redstone signal strength proportional to the fill level, up to 3.

Contrary to a cauldron filled with water, a powder snow cauldron that is not full cannot be filled up with a powder snow bucket, as {{control|using}} the bucket on the cauldron instead places powder snow against it.

==== Filling cauldrons with potions ====
{{exclusive|bedrock|education|section=yes}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, a cauldron can hold normal [[potion]]s, [[splash potion]]s and [[lingering potion]]s. {{control|Using}} a potion on a cauldron empties the potion and increases the level of the potion in the cauldron by one level. A glass bottle can then be {{control|used}} on a cauldron with a potion in it, filling the bottle with that potion. This reduces the potion in the cauldron by one level.

{{control|Using}} an [[arrow]] on a cauldron that contains a potion transforms the arrow into a [[tipped arrow]] with that potion [[effect]], and reduce the potion in the cauldron by one level. Tipping multiple arrows at once can be more efficient, and it may use more than one level at once. 1 level of potion tips up to 16 arrows, 2 levels up to 32, and a full cauldron can tip a full stack of arrows, resulting in 21.33 tipped arrows per potion.

Attempting to put [[water]], [[lava]] or a different potion into a cauldron with a potion causes an explosion sound, and the cauldron is emptied.

An entity that stands in a cauldron filled to any level with any potion does not receive the effect of the potion.

Using an empty bucket on a cauldron filled with any potion does nothing, as the bucket remains empty and the potion in the cauldron does not empty.

=== Removing dye from items ===

A cauldron with [[water]] can wash the dye off of leather [[armor]] and [[shulker box]]es, and can remove the top-most pattern layer of a [[banner]], by pressing {{control|use}} on the cauldron with the leather armor, shulker box, or banner in hand. Each wash reduces the water in the cauldron by one level. The water does not become dyed while removing dye from objects.

=== Changing profession ===
If a [[village]] has a cauldron that has not been claimed by a [[villager]], any villager that does not already have a profession or [[job site]] block may change their profession to [[leatherworker]].

=== Extinguishing fire ===

A cauldron with [[water]] or [[powder snow]] extinguishes [[entities]] on [[fire]] that fall into it and the entity emits black particles. This includes [[mob]]s, [[player]]s, [[item]]s (if they land in the cauldron before burning up), and flaming [[arrow]]s{{only|je|short=1}}. Flaming arrows stuck into the side are also extinguished. Entities must reach the water or powder snow in it. Each entity extinguished causes the substance in the cauldron to decrease by one level. If the cauldron is filled with powder snow, it then becomes a water cauldron.

=== Redstone component ===
[[File:Cauldron transmission over piston.png|An example of a cauldron used in a [[redstone]] circuit.|thumb]]
{{see also|Redstone circuit}}

A cauldron can act as a power source for a [[redstone comparator]]. With a cauldron behind it (either directly, or separated by an unpowered solid block), a comparator outputs a signal strength proportional to how full the cauldron is: 0 for empty, 1 for one-third full, 2 for two-thirds full, and 3 for completely full or filled with lava. However, if there is a block between the cauldron and the comparator, the comparator does not immediately update.

'''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 ===

{{Crafting
|Block of Emerald
|Output= Emerald,9
|type= Material
}}

=== Smelting ===

{{Smelting
|Emerald Ore; Deepslate Emerald Ore
|Emerald
|1
}}

=== 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.

'''Wheat''' is an [[item]] primarily obtained by harvesting fully-grown [[Wheat Seeds|wheat crops]]. It is used for [[crafting]] as well as to feed certain animals.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|wheat}}

=== Farming ===

{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming}}

When a fully-grown wheat crop is harvested, it drops 1 wheat and 1 to 4 [[wheat seeds]] ({{frac|2|5|7}} per crop harvested on average). A wheat crop has a total of eight stages (0-7) from the time it is planted until it can be harvested. If a crop is harvested before it is fully grown, it just drops one seed. Wheat needs light to grow; a seed is destroyed if planted without light. Harvesting with a [[Fortune]]-enchanted tool increases the number of seeds dropped but does not increase the yield of wheat.

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
|Hay Bale
|Output= Wheat,9
|type= Material
}}

=== Drops ===
A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding wheat, which it always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, causing the fox to drop the wheat.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===

[[File:New Cattle.png|thumb|Using wheat to lead a cow.]]
When wheat is held, it causes nearby [[cow]]s, [[sheep]], [[goat]]s and [[mooshroom]]s to follow the player, until either the player stops holding the wheat or goes too far away from the animal, thus leading them to lose interest.

Wheat may be used to [[breed]] cows, sheep, goats, and mooshrooms by first herding two of them together and then {{control|using}} the wheat on them to begin "Love Mode."

Wheat can heal a [[horse]] {{hp|1}} health or lower its temper by 3% when attempting to tame it. It can also decrease the time it takes for a foal to grow by 20 seconds.

Similarly, wheat can heal a [[llama]] {{hp|2}} health, and it decreases the time it takes a baby llama to grow by 10 seconds.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

Novice-level farmer [[Villager|villagers]] have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 20 wheat for one [[emerald]].

=== Composting ===
Placing wheat into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of wheat yields an average of 5.94 [[bone meal]].

{{Video note|the narrator demonstrates at 0:56 that walking over wheat can destroy the crop and un-till the land. This is outdated: since version {{Version link|JE 1.1}}, wheat can be destroyed only by a player or mob jumping on it or falling on it.}}

'''Compounds''' are a type of [[item]] from [[Education Edition]] used in chemistry, which are created from combinations of various [[element]]s.

== Obtaining ==
Compounds cannot be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]]. They are only obtained from creating them in the [[compound creator]]. This is done by inserting a certain number of [[element]]s corresponding to the compound's chemical formula.

=== Garbage ===
Garbage is considered a "compound", but the only way to produce it is to activate the [[Lab Table]] when its inputs are an invalid recipe. It has no uses.

== Usage ==
Certain compounds are used as ingredients in [[crafting]] or [[lab table]] experiments. Natural compounds have uses outside of chemistry, detailed in their respective articles.

A '''book and quill''' is an [[item]] used to write [[written book]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting

|Output= Book and Quill
|type= Miscellaneous
}}

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|book-and-quill}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Writing ===

By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.

Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]). 

The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.

In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].

=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}

Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text. 
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.

=== Signing ===

Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].

Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.

The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a book and quill in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* The in-game restrictions on books are not hard limits. Third party editors or commands can make books have more than 100 pages{{only|java}} (2,147,483,639 pages), more than 256 characters per page (32,767 characters per page), can change author names, and can have colored titles, among other things. These books still function properly in vanilla ''Minecraft'', meaning the [[player]] may encounter such books on adventure maps or multiplayer servers.<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1189266-hacking-books</ref>
* If the player renames a book and quill in an anvil before signing it, it retains the name from the anvil instead of taking the name from signing.{{only|java}}

'''Glow berries''' are a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from cave vines and can be used to plant them.

'''Cave vines''' are a climbable, [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] plant that hangs off ceilings and grows glow berries. Cave vines with glow berries produce [[light]] and drop glow berries when broken or harvested. Cave vines with no glow berries will not drop anything.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===
Cave vines can be found in [[lush caves]], hanging from cave ceilings.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|glow-berries}}

=== Post-generation ===
Glow berries can be collected from a cave vine by {{control|using}} or {{control|breaking}} the vine. This yields one glow berry when the vine is bearing them and nothing when it is not.  A cave vine also breaks if [[water]] runs over its location or if a [[piston]] extends or pushes a block into its location. 

{{IN|bedrock}}, using a tool with [[Silk Touch]] on cave vines always yields a glow berry, even if the vine appears empty.

[[Fortune]] has no effect on the number of glow berries dropped.

== Usage ==
=== Placement ===
Glow berries can be placed on and grown from the bottom of most blocks. They have no specific lighting requirements. When placed, they can be of any length.

=== Growth ===
Placing glow berries on the bottom of a block creates a cave vine that grows downward one block at a time as long as [[air]] is beneath it and its maximum height (2 to 26 blocks) has not been reached. Each newly-grown cave vine block has a 1 in 9 chance of bearing glow berries.  Only this tip can ever naturally grow them.{{only|JE}}{{More info|exact growth rate and chance to bear glow berries}}

{{control|Using}} [[bone meal]] on a cave vine produces glow berries if the vine was not bearing any.

{{IN|Java}}, cave vines stop growing if [[shears]] are {{control|used}} on the tip.

{{IN|bedrock}}, if placing glow berries in the Nether, cave vines are able to grow and produces glow berries.

=== Food ===
To eat glow berries, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.4 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] points, like [[sweet berries]].

=== Light ===
When bearing glow berries, cave vines give off a [[light]] level of 14.

=== Composting ===
Placing glow berries into a [[composter]] by {{control|using}} them on it has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Breeding ===
Glow berries can be fed to [[fox]]es to [[breeding|breed]] them. Foxes are similar to cats when being fed as a wild animal; a sudden movement by the player may cause the fox to flee even if the player holds glow berries. The resulting baby fox trusts the [[player]] and does not flee.

Glow berries can be {{control|used}} on baby foxes to reduce the time until they grow by 10%.
