Nether Fortresses are structures that are naturally generated in the Nether. They are bridge structures constructed of Nether Bricks, Nether Brick Fences, and Nether Brick Stairs. They are the only places where Nether Wart, Blaze spawners and Wither Skeletons can be found.
Structure
Nether Fortresses are very large complexes made mainly of Nether Bricks. Nether Fortresses can tunnel through Netherrack, and the inside of the tunnels will be cleared of Netherrack by the terrain generator. However, at broken bridge sections, the terrain is not cleared, which may create a tunnel that leads straight into a wall of Netherrack. Their main structure takes a shape of bridges with supporting pillars outside and corridors inside, both which have 3-blocks wide walking space. The bridges can be broken at the end. The interior of the structures have 1x2 windows with Nether Brick Fences as the windowpanes. The fences also form gate-like structures at the entrances of some rooms and corridors. The rooms include:
- Lava well rooms
- Rooms with Nether Brick Stairs in the center and Soul Sand at sides of the stairway containing 2 2x5 rows of Nether Wart growing on it.
- Rooms with Blaze spawners (normally 2 per fortress), which can have Nether Brick Stairs leading up to them. The rooms also have Nether Brick Fences.
- Rooms with four exits. Some of them lead only to Netherrack.
- Rooms with a "stairway" of Nether Brick placed against a wall, leading up to the floor above.
In a nether fortress, there are two sections: an indoor section and an outdoor section. The indoor section has a netherbrick roof and is where chests are spawned (because diamonds can be spawned in these chests, if you can't find diamonds in your mine, go to a nether fortress). The outdoor section has no netherbrick roof, although it can tunnel through netherrack, making it seem like it has a roof. The outdoor section is where blaze spawning rooms are found. In every fortress, there is one lava well room, which is the single connection between the indoor and outdoor sections.

Nether Fortress Loot
As of Minecraft 1.6, Nether Fortresses generate Nether Fortress loot with chests in the indoor sections placed at some interior points where corridors turn at right angles. Each chest contains 2-5 stacks of items, chosen from the following list. Chance listed is per stack, not for the chest as a whole.
| Item | Quantity per stack |
Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Diamonds | 1 - 3 | 7.04% (5/71) |
| Iron Ingots | 1 - 5 | 7.04% (5/71) |
| Gold Ingots | 1 - 3 | 21.1% (15/71) |
| Golden Sword | 1 | 7.04% (5/71) |
| Golden Chestplate | 1 | 7.04% (5/71) |
| Flint and Steel | 1 | 7.04% (5/71) |
| Nether Wart | 3 - 7 | 7.04% (5/71) |
| Saddle | 1 | 14.1% (10/71) |
| Golden Horse Armor | 1 | 11.3% (8/71) |
| Iron Horse Armor | 1 | 7.04% (5/71) |
| Diamond Horse Armor | 1 | 4.23% (3/71) |
Spawning
Nether Fortresses may be spawned in inconvenient places, where half of or even the majority of the fortress is buried in Netherrack. The interior will not be filled, however; all hallways and passages will be clear except for open walkways and bridges. It is rare, but possible for Glowstone to spawn inside of the fortress pathways.
Nether Fortress tend to cluster together in strips that run north and south. When searching for a Nether Fortress, traveling east or west will give you the best chances of running into one. If you travel north or south, you could travel a long distance between two strips of fortresses.
Mobs
Nether fortresses spawn Magma cubes at a much higher rate. They also spawn two exclusive mobs which cannot be found anywhere else, Blazes and Wither skeletons.
Blazes are desired because of their drop - blaze rods, as well as the high amount of experience they give. Wither Skeletons are mostly desired for their Wither Skeleton Skulls, which are necessary to create the Wither. Ultimately those who spawn the Wither are aiming to acquire the nether star which is used to construct the beacon.
The spawning algorithm checks if a chunk has a fortress within it. The algorithm then checks for the "bounding box" of the original fortress. It then allows mobs to spawn up to 7 blocks above the walkway, if there is a block beneath them. The entire width of Nether fortresses are taken into account, including junctions and special areas. Fortresses generated before 1.4 lost their bounding box when the fortress was unloaded for the first time due to a bug, and will not naturally spawn wither skeletons, skeletons, and blazes (apart from ones from spawners) after loading them again, even in newer versions that have fixed the bug
Any additions to fortresses will not spawn these rare mobs. Spawning is not affected by replacing the Nether brick with other materials.

'''Torchflower seeds''' are seeds that have a chance to be dropped by [[Sniffer|sniffers]] when they finish digging.
== Obtaining ==
[[Sniffer]]s will occasionally bury their nose in the ground and start digging. Once the sniffer has finished digging, one torchflower seed will have a chance to be dropped on the floor as an item.
Sniffers can only dig for torchflower seeds in the following blocks:
*{{BlockLink|Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Podzol}}
*{{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Mud}}
*{{BlockLink|Muddy Mangrove Roots}}
They cannot dig for torchflower seeds on [[mycelium]], which is intended.<ref>{{bug|MC-260259||Sniffers cannot dig nor find seeds on mycelium|WAI}}</ref>
== Usage ==
=== Crop ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1=Crop farming}}
Torchflower seeds can be {{control|placed}} on [[farmland]], where they grow through three stages. Breaking the torchflower crop before it matures drops the seed, while breaking the final stage produces one [[torchflower]] and does not yield the seed.
Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.
Farmer [[villager]]s can plant torchflower seeds, but cannot harvest them after they have fully grown.<ref>{{bug|MC-263382|||WAI}}</ref>
=== Feeding ===
Torchflower seeds can be used to breed [[sniffer]]s and [[chicken]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of snifflets and chicks by 10%. Also, if some torchflower seeds were fed to an injured sniffer, it will heal it by {{hp|2}} health points.
=== Taming ===
Torchflower seeds can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.
=== Composting ===
Placing torchflower seeds into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

A '''recovery compass''' is an item used to point to the location of the [[Player|player's]] last death.
== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A1= Echo Shard |B1= Echo Shard |C1= Echo Shard
|A2= Echo Shard |B2= Compass |C2= Echo Shard
|A3= Echo Shard |B3= Echo Shard |C3= Echo Shard
|Output= Recovery Compass
|type= Tool
}}
== Usage ==
When held by a player, the recovery compass will point towards the spot where they previously died.
The recovery compass will only work when it is held by a player who has previously died and is in the same dimension as their last death. Otherwise, it will spin around randomly.
Like other items, the recovery compass itself will still drop when a player dies and the <code>keepInventory</code> [[game rule]] is not enabled.
This item is useless on Hardcore mode, as once the player dies, the player cannot respawn.
=== Enchantments ===
A recovery compass can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A shovel can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. It also keeps the shovel's [[Enchanting|enchantments]].
=== Chest loot ===
On <code>ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2</code>, they generate a furnace with a wooden shovel inside of it.

=== Mob loot ===
==== Equipment ====
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}
[[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s have a 0.67% (3.33% in Hard [[difficulty]]) chance of spawning with an iron shovel. They have an 8.5% (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) chance of dropping that shovel if they are killed by the player. The dropped shovel is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted: 0%–25% on Normal difficulty and 3.125%–25% on Hard difficulty, varying with [[regional difficulty]], and enchanted as if on an enchanting table at level 5–22.
==== Raids ====
Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance(5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron shovel that is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}
=== Trading ===
Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell enchanted iron shovels for 2 emeralds, and expert-level toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond shovels for 5 emeralds as part of their trades.{{only|bedrock}}
Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level tool smiths have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron shovel for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level tool smiths have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an enchanted diamond shovel for 11-27 emeralds.{{only|java}}
The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchanting table]] at levels 5–19.
=== Villager gifts ===
{{in|java}}, toolsmith [[villager]]s occasionally throw stone shovels at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.
== Usage ==
=== Digging ===
A shovel can be used to break some materials faster. When breaking a block, it uses 1 durability. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.
==== Durability ====
Each different tier of shovel has a different durability:
{| class="wikitable sortable"

=== Dirt paths ===
A shovel can be used to create a [[dirt path]] by {{control|using}} (not digging) the shovel on any one of the following blocks, losing one durability point:
* {{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Podzol}}
* {{BlockLink|Mycelium}}
=== Campfire ===
A shovel can be used to extinguish a [[campfire]].
===Weapon===
Hitting a mob while holding a shovel is a stronger attack than barehanded. Shovels take 2 damage when used as a weapon.
====Java Edition====
[[Category:Java Edition specific information]]
Shovels have an attack speed modifier of -3, meaning they take 1 second to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]]. Shovels deal different damage based on the type:

The '''ice bomb''' is an [[item]] that is used to freeze [[water]] into [[ice]].

== Usage ==
Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. They are affected by gravity.
Like with [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the [[hotbar]] by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.
Ice bombs explode upon hitting most [[blocks]], including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but do not deal [[damage]], and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, their impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace [[mobs]] in ice under water.
While [[endermen]] teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs.
Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in ice.

A '''minecart with chest''' is a single [[chest]] inside a [[minecart]], and functions as such.
== Natural generation ==
Minecarts with chests containing loot naturally generate in [[mineshaft]]s, each on top of a piece of [[rail]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting|Chest|Minecart|Output=Minecart with Chest|type=Transportation}}
Minecarts with chests can be retrieved by attacking them. By doing so it drops as an [[item]] and any other contents of the chest are dropped as well.
==Usage==
[[File:Minecart with Chest GUI.png|thumb|176px|The GUI of a minecart with chest.]]
Minecarts with chests can be placed by {{control|use item|text=using its item}} on any type of [[rail]].
Chest minecarts' contents can be accessed by pressing {{control|use item}} button on them. The interaction makes no sounds and the chest does not show the opening or closing animation, unlike regular chests.
The boost that minecarts with chests gain from [[powered rail]]s is dependent on their load. For example, from a 1 powered rail starter track, an empty minecart with chest travels 64 blocks, but a full minecart with chest travels only 16 blocks (opposed to 80 blocks for an occupied normal minecart and 8 blocks for an empty normal minecart).
Another physical property of chest minecarts is their ability to be stacked. While three chests can fit in an area three blocks tall, up to four chest minecarts can fit in the same area. Like other minecarts, an unlimited number of minecarts with chests can exist in the same block space.
Minecarts with chests are also able to interact with [[hopper]]s. Hoppers can take items out from the minecart chest if they are below the track as the minecart rolls over it or put them in if the minecart rolls under a downward facing hopper. Hoppers can also input items if they are facing into the side of the minecart.
Opening or destroying a minecart with chest angers [[piglin]]s.
{{See also|Tutorials/Storage minecarts}}
When on top of [[detector rail]]s, nearby [[redstone comparators]] will give out redstone signals based on how full the minecarts with chests are.
== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Minecarts with chests use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.<ref group=sound name=rollsource>{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref>

A '''trident''' is a [[weapon]] used in both melee and ranged combat and is a rare drop from [[drowned]].
==Obtaining==
Tridents are not craftable. A trident can be obtained only when dropped by a [[drowned]], Converted drowned are never equipped with tridents.
===Mob loot===
==== '''''Java Edition''''' ====
6.25% (or 1 in 16) of [[Drowned]] in Java Edition spawn with a trident of random durability as their natural weapon. They have an 8.5% chance to drop their trident when killed by a player. The chance is increased by 1% for each level of [[Looting]] up to a max of 11.5% with Looting III. This means the overall chance of obtaining a trident from any given drowned is 0.53125% (about 1 in 188) or 0.71875% with looting III.
{{IN|Java}}, a trident held by a drowned has a chance to be enchanted, but the trident's enchantments have no effects for drowned.<ref>{{bug|MC-127321}}</ref>
==== '''''Bedrock Edition''''' ====
Only 15% (or 3 in 20) of [[Drowned]] in Bedrock Edition spawn with tridents. Of these, they have a 25% chance to drop their trident when killed by a player. This chance is increased by 4% for each level of looting up to a max of 37% with looting III. This means the overall chance of obtaining a trident from any given drowned is 3.75% (or 3 in 80) or 5.55% with looting III.
===Thrown tridents===
Tridents thrown onto the ground by a player can be picked up; however, tridents thrown by [[drowned]] cannot be picked up, similar to arrows shot by [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, and [[pillager]]s. Only the owner of a trident thrown in Creative mode or enchanted with Loyalty can pick it up; other players in Creative and players in Survival mode including its own owner can't pick up the trident thrown in Creative.
===Trading===
Drowned who are holding tridents will sometimes drop their trident at full durability if given a nautilus shell when they aren't attacking anything.{{only|BE}}
==Usage==
===Drowned===
{{main|Drowned}}
15% of drowned {{in|bedrock}}, and 6.25% {{in|java}}, spawn with a trident as its natural weapon. It throws the trident at its opponent every 1.5 seconds, dealing {{hp|9}} [[damage]] in normal difficulty. A drowned can throw unlimited tridents, and these tridents cannot be picked up by the [[player]].
A [[villager]] can be turned into a [[zombie villager]] if it is killed by a trident thrown by a drowned: the chance of conversion is 0% on Easy [[difficulty]], 50% on Normal, and 100% on Hard and [[Hardcore]].
{{IN|bedrock}}, a drowned can use the trident's melee attack if its target is within three blocks. The melee attack deals {{hp|9}} damage.
===Melee attack===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a trident deals damage to both [[mob]]s and players. Tridents deal {{hp|9}} melee damage. A successful hit consumes durability of the trident.
===Ranged attack===
[[File:Steve aiming with Trident.png|150px]] [[File:Alex aiming with Trident.png|150px]]
Pressing and holding {{control|use}} while holding a trident charges it. When released at full charge, the trident is thrown and deals damage to any [[entity]] it hits. It flies on a ballistic trajectory similar to that of an [[arrow]], but at 80% strength. If the trident hits a block, it sticks to the block. If it hits an entity, it bounces off the entity and lands nearby. It is also blocked by [[shield]]s and can be retrieved once it lands in the ground. Thrown tridents can trigger wooden [[button]]s, wooden [[pressure plate]]s, and [[target]] blocks. A trident can be thrown at a [[chorus flower]] or [[pointed dripstone]] to break it, which causes the block to be dropped as its respective item.
{{IN|bedrock}} and [[Java Edition Combat Test 4]], tridents can be shot by [[dispenser]]s regardless of enchantment.
Tridents [[Enchanting#Summary_of_enchantments_by_item|enchanted]] with [[Loyalty]] return to the thrower after hitting an entity{{only|java}}/hitting and bouncing off an entity then hitting a block{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-51726}}</ref> or just a block. A Loyalty-enchanted trident fired from a [[dispenser]] just sticks to the block it strikes. Higher levels of enchantment result in shorter recovery times. {{IN|java}}, throwing a trident enchanted with Loyalty into the [[void]] destroys it,<ref>{{bug|MC-125755|||WAI}}</ref> while {{in|bedrock}} it automatically returns to the player. Tridents (if enchanted with Loyalty), can take [[fire]] damage but still return to the player if thrown in [[lava]]. This is especially helpful in [[the Nether]] should the [[player]] be using a trident instead of a [[bow]]. If a trident enchanted with Loyalty attempts to return to a player with no available inventory space, the trident floats near the player until inventory space becomes available.
Thrown tridents take 1 durability damage, regardless of whether it hit an entity or not. Tridents with 1 durability remaining cannot be thrown.
Tridents enchanted with [[Riptide]] launch the player a certain distance when thrown, with the distance increasing for higher enchantment levels. They can be thrown only if the player is standing in [[water]], or if it is raining on the block they are standing on. If the player charges it but walks into a nearby dry area, the charge is canceled. If the player throws a Riptide trident and collides with a mob, the mob takes melee damage (including critical damage if the player is falling). {{IN|java}} tridents enchanted with Riptide take one durability damage upon throwing, and lose an additional 1 durability if it collides with an entity on both editions. Each level of Riptide increases the distance traveled by six blocks. The enchantment at level one launches the player nine blocks, fifteen blocks at level two, and twenty-one blocks at level three.
Tridents enchanted with [[Channeling]] summon a lightning bolt if there is a thunderstorm, although only upon hitting a mob or player standing in the rain as well as a [[Lightning Rod|lightning rod]] placed in the rain.
Unlike other projectiles, the trident does not slow down when thrown through water or lava.
{{IN|java}}, the [[Impaling]] enchantment affects ''all water mobs''. {{IN|bedrock}}, it deals extra damage to [[player]]s and mobs in water or rain.
Unlike arrows, thrown tridents do not despawn.{{only|bedrock}} Tridents despawn after 60 seconds if they are not picked up.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-125817}}</ref>
;Magical damage
Using [[Riptide]], nearby players or mobs are dealt [[Harming|splash damage]] within an 8.25×8.25×4.25 cubical area. It stacks with the [[Impaling]] enchantment and [[Strength]] effect. Critical hits do not increase splash damage, but affect the target.
{{IN|bedrock}}, thrown tridents can damage the [[ender dragon]] while resting on the bedrock fountain. {{IN|java}}, they act just like arrows — deflected, but burn as if they had [[Flame]].
=== Damage===
Thrown tridents and splashes deal {{hp|8}} damage. The damage remains the same regardless of the trident's speed. It has a faster charging speed than a [[bow]] or [[crossbow]] (barring the [[Quick Charge]] enchantment.)
====Java Edition====
{{IN|java}}, tridents have an attack speed of 1.1 and take ~0.91 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

===Elytra===
A trident with the [[Riptide]] enchantment can be used to propel a player with a pair of [[elytra]], but only in [[rain]]y weather, during snowy weather in certain biomes<ref>{{bug|MC-128169}}</ref> or while the [[player]] is in a body of water. A Riptide trident can boost the player to speeds as high as 125 blocks per second,<ref>{{bug|MC-147173||Using riptide tridents while elytra flying can boost the player to excessive speeds}}</ref> much faster than the 33.5 blocks-per-second speed achievable using [[firework rocket]]s.

{{IN|java}}, the [[Impaling]] enchantment deals extra damage to all water mobs. {{IN|bedrock}} and in [[Java Edition Combat Test 3]], it deals extra damage to all players and mobs in water or rain.

===Repairing ===
Tridents have the same [[durability]] as an [[sword|iron sword]]. Whenever a trident deals damage, its durability decreases by 1.
Tridents can be repaired by:
*combining two damaged tridents in a [[grindstone]], or on a [[crafting table]] or the 2×2 inventory grid, which removes any enchantments except for [[Curse of Vanishing]] and [[Curse of Binding]]
*combining a damaged trident with another trident on an [[anvil]], which preserves enchantments.
*applying the [[Mending]] enchantment.
==Sounds==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Thrown tridents use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

==Trivia==
* If a player throws a Loyalty-enchanted trident and the player's inventory subsequently fills, the trident hovers around or through the player's skin until an inventory slot opens, which it fills immediately. Multiple tridents can be 'queued' to re-enter the player's inventory in this manner.
*{{IN|java}} in Creative mode, sword enchantments can be applied to tridents. This includes Sharpness, Fire Aspect, and Looting. Sharpness, Smite, and Bane of Arthropods increases their damage against their specific mobs, as well.{{more info needed|Does the damage also increase when the trident is thrown?}}
*Thrown tridents pass through [[Nether Portal (block)|nether portal block]]s without being transported to [[the Nether]] or the [[Overworld]].
*Using a trident enchanted with Riptide while riding an entity cancels the charge and does nothing.

Trivia
- Often, Nether Fortresses spawn with no Nether Wart gardens in them at all. In some rare cases, a garden will have spawned, but the Nether Wart will be destroyed by falling lava.
- The interiors of Nether Fortresses are safe from Ghasts, because they are enclosed and are made out of materials that Ghast fireballs can not destroy. However, the bridges are open to the sky, as are many platforms.
- Nether Fortresses use a separate list of spawnable mobs from the rest of the Nether. This allows Blazes to spawn naturally and makes Magma Cubes much more common. Ghasts are not allowed to spawn, preventing them from being trapped inside.
- Nether Fortresses will still be generated even if the "Generated Structures" option is turned off.
- Mushrooms can spawn in Nether Fortresses.
- Skeletons can spawn in Nether Fortresses. When the game tries to spawn a Wither Skeleton it has a 20% chance of spawning as a skeleton instead.
- Glowstone can spawn in the corridors of Nether Fortresses.
- Nether Fortresses which spawn high above the lava oceans of the Nether can create huge walls of Nether Brick.
- Nether Fortresses tend to spawn in "strips" aligning along the Z axis (north/south) in the nether. (Tested over 200 seeds so far, the trend is strong in all tested seeds - confirmed with AMIDST.)
- If you don't see a Nether Fortress within 100 blocks or so north/south of your starting position, it's best to search diagonally or east/west. If you continue searching north/south, you may be between strips and never find one.
- On the flip side, if you've found a Nether Fortress, it's best to search north/south from there to find more.
- When trying to spot nether fortresses, a potion of nightvision can help considerably.
- Sometimes, two or more Nether Fortresses can spawn very close or even within each other, ultimately creating an even larger cumulative Nether Fortress.
- If you are trapped in the Nether with your portal unlit, try finding a Nether Fortress' chests. Sometimes, a Flint and Steel may spawn in one.
