NBT format

The Named Binary Tag (NBT) format is use by Minecraft for the various files in which it saves data. The format is designed to store data in a tree structure made up of various tags. All tags have an ID and a name.

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.

SNBT format

This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.

SNBT, also known as data tag, is often used in command in Java Edition. It can be described starting with attribute-value pairs enclosed in curly braces. One common usage of data tags in Java Edition is in commands, used to specify complex data for any entity.

A data tag consists of zero or more attribute-value pairs delimited by commas and enclosed in curly braces. Each attribute-value pair consists of an tag name and the tag's value, separated by a colon. Some values, however, may be a compound tag and themselves contain attribute-value pairs, allowing a data tag to describe a hierarchical data structure.

Tag's name can be enclosed with double quotes if necessary.

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.

Example: {name1:123,name2:"sometext",name3:{subname1:456,subname2:789}}

Format of each type

The defined data structures also expect the values to be of the correct type.

Data Tags Value Types
Type	Description
Byte	A signed 8-bit integer, ranging from -128 to 127 (inclusive). Example: `314b`
Short	A signed 16-bit integer, ranging from -32,768 to 32,767 (inclusive). Example:`31415s`
Int	A signed 32-bit integer, ranging from -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647 (inclusive). Example: `31415926`
Long	A signed 64-bit integer, ranging from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (inclusive). Example: `31415926l`
Float	A 32-bit, single-precision floating-point number, ranging from -3.4E+38 to +3.4E+38. Example: `3.1415926f` See IEEE floating point for details.
Double	A 64-bit, double-precision floating-point, ranging from -1.7E+308 to +1.7E+308. Example: `3.1415926` See IEEE floating point for details.
String	A sequence of characters, enclosed in quotes. For strings without commas, brackets, braces or spaces, quote enclosure is optional. Quotes can be either single quote `'` or double `"`. Nested quotes can be included within a string by escaping the character with a `\` escape. Examples: `"Call me \"Ishmael\""` `'Call me "Ishmael"'` `'Call me \'Ishmael\''` `"Call me 'Ishmael'"`
List	An ordered list of tags, enclosed in square brackets and delimited by commas. The tags must be of the same type, determined by the first tag in the list. Example: `[3.2,64.5,129.5]`
Compound	An ordered list of attribute-value pairs, enclosed in curly braces and delimited by commas. Example: `{X:3,Y:64,Z:129}` Each tag may be of any type.
Byte Array	`B;` followed by an ordered list of 8-bit integers, delimited by commas. Tag is enclosed in square brackets. Example: `[B;1b,2b,3b]`
Int Array	`I;` followed by an ordered list of 32-bit integers, delimited by commas. Tag is enclosed in square brackets. Example: `[I;1,2,3]`
Long Array	`L;` followed by an ordered list of 64-bit integers, delimited by commas. Tag is enclosed in square brackets. Example: `[L;1l,2l,3l]`
Boolean	A value, expressed as "true", "false", or "1", "0". This is resolved by the game into a Byte tag as 0 (for false) and 1 (for true). Example: `{doFoo:true}`

Some commands may require that a number's type be specified by adding a letter (B, S, L, F, D) to the end of the value. For example, 3s for a short, 3.2f for a float, etc. (This doesn't work with I for int.) The letter can be uppercase or lowercase. When no letter is used and Minecraft can't tell the type from context, it assumes double if there's a decimal point, int if there's no decimal point and the size fits within 32 bits, or string if neither is true. A square-bracketed literal is assumed to be a list unless an identifier is used: [I;1,2,3] for an int array and [L;1L,2L,3L] for a long array.

When commands such as /clear are used to match data tags, they check only for the presence of the provided tags in the target entity/block/item. This means that the entity/block/item can have additional tags and still match. This is true even for lists and arrays^[verify]: the order of a list is not acknowledged, and as long as every requested element is in the list, it matches even if there are additional elements.

NBT file

An NBT file is a zipped Compound tag, with the name and tag ID included. The file in the zip must contain the Compound tag that it is as the first bytes. 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.

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). 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 NBT format:

ID	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	A TAG_Short-like, but instead unsigned^[1] payload length, then a UTF-8 string resembled by length bytes.	`<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.	65,535 bytes interpretable as UTF-8 (see modified 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.

Usage

Minecraft sometimes uses the NBT format inconsistently; 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.

Additionally, 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.

Official software

Mojang has provided sample Java NBT classes for developers to use and reference as part of the source code for the MCRegion to Anvil file format converter.^[2] Since Java Edition 1.13, Minecraft includes a built-in converter between the SNBT format and compressed NBT format, which comes with both the client and official server.^[3]

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. The file extension of a file can simply be changed, such as level.dat to level.nbt and put in the input folder, and the generator then decodes the GZip compressed NBT data.

History

The NBT file format was described by Notch in a brief specification.^[4]

The original known version was 19132 as introduced in Beta 1.3, and since then has been updated to 19133 with the Anvil file format, which adds the Int Array tag. The NBT format dates all the way back to Indev with tags 0 to 10 in use.

'''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.

'''Redstone dust''' is a mineral that can transmit [[Redstone circuit#Power|redstone power]] as a wire when placed as a [[block]]. It is also used in [[crafting]] and [[brewing]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
{{see also|Redstone Ore#Natural generation}}
[[Redstone ore]] mined using an iron [[pickaxe]] or higher drops 4 or 5 redstone dust (or more with [[Fortune]], averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune III). If mined with [[Silk Touch]], the block drops itself instead of redstone dust.

=== Natural generation ===
15 lengths of redstone dust are naturally generated as part of the trap in each [[jungle pyramid]]. 5 lengths of redstone dust can be found in one type of jail cell room in a [[woodland mansion]]. In [[Ancient City|ancient cities]], multiple pieces of redstone dust can be found integrated into circuitry.

=== Breaking ===
Redstone dust can be broken instantly using any tool, or without a tool, and drops itself as an item.

Redstone dust is removed and drops as an item if:
* its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
* [[water]] or [[lava]] flows into its space
* a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space

=== Mob loot ===
[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–2 redstone dust upon death. This is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 redstone dust.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|redstone}}

=== Crafting ===
Redstone dust can be crafted from [[blocks of redstone]].

{{IN|Java}}, when the player has the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect, clerics might throw that player a redstone dust as a gift.

== Usage ==
Redstone dust is used for [[#Brewing ingredient|brewing]], [[#Crafting ingredient|crafting]], and in redstone circuits by placing it on the ground to create [[#Redstone component|redstone wire]]. It can also be used to power redstone components.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Redstone Dust}}

=== {{anchor|Redstone dust}} Redstone component ===
When placed in the world, redstone dust becomes a block of "redstone wire"{{Info needed|other blco? BE?}}, which can transmit [[Redstone circuit#Power|redstone power]].

=== Placement ===

''Top Right:'' Redstone wire does ''not'' connect diagonally vertically through opaque blocks. ''Center:'' Redstone wire gets darker as its power level drops, to a maximum of 15 blocks from a power source.|thumb]]
[[File:Redstone on Glowstone, Stairs, Slabs.png|Examples of redstone wire placements.|thumb]]
Redstone dust can be placed on [[opaque]] blocks as well as [[glowstone]], upside-down [[slab]]s, [[glass]], upside-down [[stairs]], and [[hopper]]s. It can also be placed on some transparent blocks; see [[Opacity/Placement]] for more information. It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands, which is not unintentional.<ref>{{bug|MC-182709}}</ref>

Redstone wire configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone [[Redstone components#Power components|power components]] and [[Redstone components#Transmission components|transmission component]] connection points. Redstone wire also configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone wire one block higher or lower – unless there is a solid opaque block above the lower redstone wire.

If there is only one such adjacent redstone component, redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}} line pointing both at the neighbor and away from it. If there are two or more such adjacent components, redstone wire connects them in the form of {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-upleft}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-t-up}}, or {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} as needed.

When there are no adjacent components, a single redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} plus sign, which can provide power in all four directions. By right-clicking it can be changed into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-dot}} dot, which does not provide power to any of the four directions.

{{IN|bedrock}}, redstone wire automatically configures itself to point toward adjacent blocks or [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]]. {{IN|java}}, it does not. If such a configuration is desired, the other neighbors of the redstone wire must be arranged to create it, i.e the redstone dust must be placed in a way that it would be pointed at the block’s location even if it were not there.

When redstone wire is reconfigured after placement, it does not update other redstone components around it of the change unless that reconfiguration also includes a change in power level or another component provides an update. This can create situations where a mechanism component remains activated when it shouldn't, or vice versa, until it receives an update from something else – a "feature" of redstone wire that can be used to make a [[BUD|block update detector]].

=== Behavior ===

}}

Redstone wire can transmit power, which can be used to operate [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]] ([[door]]s, [[piston]]s, [[redstone lamp]]s, etc.).
Redstone wire can be "powered" by a number of methods:
* from an adjacent [[Redstone components#Power components|power component]] or a strongly-powered block
* from the output of a redstone repeater or redstone comparator
* from adjacent redstone wire. The powering dust can be a level higher or lower, but with restrictions:
** Redstone dust can be powered by redstone dust that is one level lower, or on an [[opaque]] block one level higher. A transparent block cannot{{only|java}} pass power downward.
** The block "between" the two dust blocks must be air or transparent. A solid block there "cuts" the connection between the higher and lower dust.

The "power level" of redstone dust can vary from 0 to 15. Most power components power-up adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, but a few ([[daylight sensor]]s, [[trapped chest]]s, and [[weighted pressure plate]]s) may create a lower power level. Redstone repeaters output power level 15 (when turned on), but [[redstone comparator]]s may output a lower power level.

{{Schematic | caption =

Redstone wire can transmit power up to 15 blocks.

 |rt-$!|rd-$ew!+15|rd-$ew!+14|rd-$ew!+13|rd-$ew!+12|rd-$ew!+11|rd-$ew!+10|rd-$ew!+9
 |rd-$ew!+8|rd-$ew!+7|rd-$ew!+6|rd-$ew!+5|rd-$ew!+4|rd-$ew!+3|rd-$ew!+2|rd-$ew!+1|rd-$ew+0

}}
Power level drops by 1 for every block of redstone wire it crosses. Thus, redstone wire can transmit power for no more than 15 blocks. To go further, the power level must be re-strengthened – typically with a redstone repeater.

Powered redstone wire on top of, or pointing at, an opaque block provides ''weak'' power to the block. A weakly-powered block cannot power other adjacent redstone wire, but can still power redstone repeaters and comparators, and activate adjacent mechanism components. Transparent blocks cannot be powered.

When redstone wire is unpowered, it appears dark red. When powered, it becomes bright red at power level 15, fading to darker shades with decreasing power. Powered redstone wire also produces "dust" [[particles]] of the same color.

While redstone wire always provides power to the directions it points into, it can still point into directions in which it cannot give power. If redstone wire comes in the form of a cross, the player can right-click to toggle it between a cross and dot. A redstone dot does not power anything adjacent to it, but powers the block under it.

Added long array tags.

1.13Tropical fish also have assigned names that can be seen after capture. In Java Edition, the smaller text under the item name is displayed showing the fish name, similar to the text that displays enchantments under enchanted items. In Bedrock Edition, the item name is displayed showing "Bucket of <fish name>". Their colors are mostly named according to the colored block names, though with a few exceptions:

White
Silver
Gray
Black
Brown
Red
Orange
Yellow
Lime
Green
Teal
Sky
Blue
Plum
Magenta
Rose

The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish:

Flopper

Glitter

Betty

Stripey

Blockfish

Clayfish

Kob

Snooper

Brinely

SunStreak

Dasher

Spotty

Some tropical fish don't follow the normal naming system, and instead, reference real-life fish species. Apart from these names, these types of fish aren't different from regular tropical fish in terms of design or behavior.

These varieties are:

Name	Type
Anemone	Orange-Gray Stripey
Black Tang	Gray Flopper

{{Item
| image = Spawn Egg.png
| extratext = View [[#Gallery|all renders]]
| stackable = Yes (64), the same type of spawn egg only
| renewable = No
}}
{{Many images}}
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.

A '''brewing stand''' is a [[block]] used for [[brewing]] [[potion]]s using [[Glass Bottle|bottles]] and suitable ingredients. It also serves as a [[cleric]]'s [[job site block]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

A brewing stand can be obtained using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing {{in|JE}}, while it drops itself {{in|BE}}.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Brewing Stand|Pickaxe|Wood|foot=1}}

=== Natural generation ===

Brewing stands generate in [[end ship]]s. They have two [[potion of Healing|Instant Health II potions]] in their holders. 

A brewing stand also generates in the basement of [[igloo]]s with a [[splash potion of Weakness]] in it.

Brewing stands can generate without potions in [[village]] churches.

=== Crafting ===

|Output= Brewing Stand

|description=Can use cobblestone and its other variants interchangeably.

}}

== Usage ==
[[File:Brewing Stand GUI.png|thumb|right|176px|Brewing stand GUI {{in|java}}]]

By default, the interface  of a brewing stand is labeled "Brewing Stand", but this name can be customized by naming it in an [[anvil]] before placing it.

Brewing stands cannot be pushed by [[piston]]s {{in|java}}.

=== Brewing ===
{{main|Brewing}}
The main purpose of brewing stands is to allow for the [[brewing]] of [[potion]]s. Its interface can be opened by pressing {{control|use}} on them.

Brewing stands need [[blaze powder]] as fuel. Each piece brews 20 batches of potions, with each stage of brewing counting separately. Unlike [[furnace]]s, there is no time limit; fuel is consumed only when there are [[Glass Bottle|bottles]] and an ingredient to brew into it.

Brewing stands interact with [[hopper]]s as follows:

* They accept brewing ingredients from hoppers pointing down into the top.
* Any valid potion recipe can be preloaded for "hands-free" brewing of a complex recipe, with the [[Nether Wart|nether wart]] falling through into the stand for the first step.
* Bottles and fuel are accepted from hoppers pointing into the side.
* Finished products can be pulled out by hoppers below, but each stage of brewing counts as a batch of "finished" potions.

{{IN|education}}, elements can be combined in the brewing stand to make the [[medicine]] potions: antidote, elixir, eye drops, and tonic.

=== Changing profession ===
If a village has a brewing stand that has not been claimed by a villager, any villager who hasn't already picked a [[job site]] block in the village has a chance to change their profession into cleric.

=== Light source ===
Brewing stands emit a light level of 1.

{{:Technical blocks/Brewing Stand}}

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Even when the brewing stand is not in use, there is still smoke coming out of the top of it.
* In ''[[Java Edition]]'', when a brewing stand is broken, particles from a bottle appear, even if no bottle is in the stand.
* No matter what potion (including water bottles) is in the stand it always looks like a full red bottle.
* Brewing stands always face east, no matter what direction they are placed.
* According to [[Michael Stoyke|Searge]], for thematic reasons, a brewing stand was added to the basement of the [[igloo]]. Because of this, blaze powder was required for fuel to preserve game progression. In this way, the player is prevented from using it before going to the Nether.<ref>https://minecraft.net/en-us/article/meet-blaze</ref>
