Template:Technical Block

This article is about the block that makes up the portal. For the portal itself, see Nether portal.

The nether portal block is the translucent part of the nether portal that teleports the player to and from the Nether.

Obtaining

In Java Edition, it cannot be obtained as an item, but in Bedrock Edition, it may be obtained via inventory editing, or by using bugs.

The nether portal block can be placed using the /setblock command and is generated when lighting a nether portal.

Usage

Info

See also: Nether portal

In Java Edition, nether portal blocks can stably exist only within a nether portal structure, unlike end portal blocks. When the block is updated and detects it is not part of such a structure, it disappears.

File:NetherPortal.gif

The Nether portal animation.

Nether portal blocks can be used to teleport into and out of the Nether. When a player in the Overworld or the Nether stands in a nether portal block for 4 seconds, the player is taken to the other dimension. The player can step out of a portal before it completes its animation to abort the teleport. However, in Creative mode there is no wait time—the player immediately transfers between dimensions. If there is already an active portal within range (125 blocks) in the other world, the player appears in that portal. Otherwise, a portal is created at or near the corresponding coordinates. If a single portal block is placed using commands, it can still be used to travel to the Nether.

Nether portal blocks make distinctive sounds of whimpering and cries,[verify] and emit purple particles resembling dust particles (the same purple particles are produced by endermen, endermites, ender pearls, and the ender chest). Portal blocks emit light of level 11, rather dimmer than a torch and not quite sufficient to prevent mob spawning on top of a freestanding portal.

Much like water or lava, portal blocks cannot be broken by tools except in Creative. However, portal blocks can be destroyed by explosions (even weak ones) and can be replaced by placing water or lava.‌[Java Edition only] If any portal block is destroyed, the whole portal is deactivated as adjacent portal blocks are updated and detect that the portal structure is no longer complete.

Portal blocks cannot be moved by pistons, nor can a piston push a block into a portal.

While nether portals themselves cannot be lit in the end, a portal block set in The End behaves exactly like in the Overworld, calculating coordinates in the Nether with the same 1:8 ratio. They teleport players to the Nether in Java Edition, and to the Overworld in Bedrock Edition.

The '''sword''' is a melee [[weapon]] that is mainly used to deal [[damage]] to [[entity|entities]] or for breaking certain blocks faster than by hand. A sword is made from one of six materials, in order of increasing quality and expense: wood, gold, stone, iron, diamond and netherite.

==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A sword can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down.

=== Mob loot ===
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

Some [[mobs]] can spawn with a sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. [[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s can drop iron swords, [[zombified piglin]]s and [[piglin]]s can drop golden swords, and [[wither skeleton]]s can drop stone swords. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged and may be enchanted. Stone swords dropped by wither skeletons are never enchanted.

A [[vex]] wields an iron sword that normally has a 0% chance of dropping, because their main hand's <code>HandDropChances</code> is 0. However, this chance increases by 1 percentage point per level of Looting. It is never damaged{{only|java}} and may be enchanted.

{{IN|be}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% chance on hard mode) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted.

=== Trading ===
[[File:Weaponsmith Diamond Sword Trade.png|thumb|right|The diamond sword trade of a weaponsmith.]]

{{IN|bedrock}}, an apprentice-level weaponsmith villagers sells enchanted iron swords for at least 7-21 emeralds, and a master-level weaponsmith sells enchanted diamond swords for at least 13-27 emeralds.

{{IN|java}}, a novice-level weaponsmith villager has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted iron sword for at least 7-22 emeralds. A master-level weaponsmith offers to sell an enchanted diamond sword for at least 11–27 emeralds.

The enchantments of the swords offered by villagers are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.

=== Chest loot ===

== Usage ==
=== Attacking ===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's [[Item Durability|durability]] decreases by 1.

Attacking a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]] with a sword stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{only|java}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.

==== Sweeping ====
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}
If the attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above and the player is on the ground standing or moving slower than the [[sprinting]] speed in a straight line, the sword performs a sweeping attack indicated by a gale [[particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back; the amount of knockback is 80% that of the basal knockback and does not benefit from the [[knockback]] enchantment. As result, the player can perform a sweep attack while they are sprinting diagonally but it is impossible to perform a sweep attack at the same time as a critical hit or while riding some [[entity]]. All enemies within an 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected. The [[sweeping edge]] enchantment increases the damage dealt by 50% of the normal hit damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III.

=== Damage ===
{{Main|Damage}}

==== Java Edition ====
Swords have an attack speed of 1.6 and take 0.625 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

The most amount of damage that a sword enchanted with [[Sharpness]] V can do is 11 {{in|java}} and 15.25 {{in|bedrock}}, without critical hits.

=== Sword breaking times ===
{{main|Breaking}}

A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref>

If a sword is enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], either using [[Creative]] or [[commands]], cobwebs the sword destroys will drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.

The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:
* White: an original block.
* Blue: block's normal drop (e.g. seeds, sapling, apple).
* Red: nothing.

==== Safety around constructions ====
In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, care must still be taken around [[minecart]]s, [[painting]]s, [[item frame]]s,{{only|java}} and [[armor stand]]s; these are entities, thus can be broken with swords in Creative.<ref>{{bug|MC-27140}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-18463}}</ref>

=== Enchantments ===
Swords can receive, gathered from mob drops/villager trades or be found in various loot chests (example: End City, Bastion Remnant)with the following [[enchantment]]s:

Golden swords have the highest enchantability, yet the least durability{{Notelist}}

=== Fuel ===
Wooden swords can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per sword.

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Sword;Golden Sword|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}

=== Piglins ===
If a {{EntityLink|Piglin}} see a golden sword, it will set off to reach it, then stare at it for 120 — 160 ticks, putting it in their inventory, and continue to perform the action it was taking before being attracted by the golden sword.

=== Blocking ===
{{main|Blocking}}
[[File:Parrying.png|thumb|right|The blocking animation using a sword before and after [[Java Edition 14w30a]] (from the [[Adventure Update|Adventure]] to the [[Bountiful Update|Bountiful]] updates).]]
 
Previously, since the [[Adventure Update]], all types of swords could be used to parry to block some forms of damage. If the player is blocking with a sword when attacked, the sword deflects 50% of incoming damage from melee, non-magical projectiles like arrows, and explosions, along with minimizing airborne knockback. The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking. The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] if blocking with a sword. Sword blocks could be engaged and disengaged instantly, with no delay between the input and damage mitigation nor cooldown between lowering a block and raising a new one.
 
After the [[Combat Update]], the sword blocking functionality was replaced by blocking with [[shield]]s and to accommodate the [[dual wield]] system. Shields negate more damage and knockback than sword blocking from "blockable" attacks (they block 100% damage and knockback after [[Java Edition 1.11]]), but, unlike swords, they lose durability, have a 0.25 second startup period before damage can be mitigated and can be temporarily disabled by attacks with an [[axe]].

=== Knockback ===
The knockback dealt by swords used to be higher than while the players are using another melee [[item]]s, like an axe or with the hands. This feature was removed in [[Java Edition 1.9]] and is also no longer used in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
*The sword's traditional [[texture]] came from [[Notch]]'s abandoned RPG, ''[[Legend of the Chambered]]''. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords followed.
*In ''Java Edition'', with the introduction of netherite swords, it is possible to one-hit kill undead [[mob]]s in the game (except [[wither]]s and [[zombie]]s/[[skeleton]]s with random armor) using a sword with the [[Smite]] V enchantment, without the need to perform a critical hit (this was previously possible only with a [[Smite]] V stone, iron, or diamond axe).
*Plastic diamond and enchanted swords are official ''[[Minecraft]]'' merchandise.<ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-sword?_pos=1&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref><ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-enchanted-purple-sword?_pos=4&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref>
*In the game [[wikipedia:Transformice|''Transformice'']], a diamond sword can be found in the shop.

A '''written book''' is an [[item]] created after a [[book and quill]] is signed.

== Obtaining ==

=== Signing a book and quill ===

Written books can be obtained by signing a [[book and quill]]. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again. The label does not say "Written Book", but whatever the [[player]] titles it. The title appears on the top line of the label, and "by <''player''>" (the player's username) on the bottom. {{IN|bedrock}}, this is customizable without [[commands]].

=== Copying ===

|type=Miscellaneous
}}

== Usage ==

Written books can be opened by right-clicking (or holding down on the screen {{in|bedrock}}), and display a GUI allowing the [[player]] to read it or turn the page.

The contents of a book are an extra set of data attached to the item. This means that when a book is destroyed, its contents are lost with it.

=== Lecterns ===

One can place 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.

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

== Trivia ==
*When written books are obtained with [[commands]] (without the correct [[Player.dat format#Written Books|data tag]]), the label shows "Written Book" and has the text "*Invalid book tag*" when opened. The book is signed and cannot be edited without commands.
*Commands that were added to a written book using serialized JSON objects are executed through the chat system. This means that any command added to a written book can't be longer than 256 characters, which is the maximum chat line limit.
*During the 2020 April Fools Update [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], throwing a written book into a lit [[Nether Portal (block)|nether portal]] would create a portal to one of the 2,147,483,645 new dimensions.

'''Horse armor''' is a special type of [[armor]] that can be given to a [[horse]] to wear.

== Obtaining ==

===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|iron-horse-armor}}
{{LootChestItem|golden-horse-armor}}
{{LootChestItem|diamond-horse-armor}}

===Crafting===
{{crafting
|A1= Leather
|C1= Leather
|A2= Leather
|B2= Leather
|C2= Leather
|A3= Leather
|C3= Leather
|Output= Leather Horse Armor
|type=Miscellaneous
}}

Only leather horse armor can be crafted; other horse armor can be obtained only from chest loot from some generated structures.

===Trading===
Expert-level [[leatherworker]] villagers [[trading|sell]] leather horse armor for 6 [[emerald]]s as part of their trade.

==Usage==

Only normal adult horses can wear armor; foals, [[donkey]]s, [[mule]]s, and undead variants such as [[skeleton horse]]s and [[zombie horse]]s cannot be equipped with armor.

=== Types ===
Horse armor has leather, iron, gold, and diamond variants. However, horse armor does not have netherite or chainmail variants.

=== Armor Stands ===
Horse armor cannot be placed or displayed on [[armor stand]]s. 

===Protection===
Horse armor can be equipped to horses either by manually placing it in its respective slot by pressing E while riding the horse ({{SlotSprite|Horse Armor}}), or by right-clicking the horse with it.

There is a gradual increase in the defense given from a horse wearing the different types of armor. Note that golden horse armor provides more protection than iron horse armor, whereas the opposite is true for [[armor|player armor]].

|}
When a horse dies while equipped with any horse armor, it drops its normal loot, saddle (if it had one), and the horse armor.

Leather horse armor protects horses from freezing in [[powder snow]], but it does not negate other powder snow effects (e.g., falling through, inability to jump).

===Durability===
Unlike [[armor|player armor]], horse armor does not have durability. This means a single horse armor can be used infinitely unless destroyed.
=== Enchanting ===
Unlike [[armor|player armor]], horse armor cannot be enchanted in survival mode. However, {{in|java}} Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an [[anvil]] to enchant with [[Depth Strider]], [[Thorns]], [[Respiration]], [[Feather Falling]], and [[Curse of vanishing]]. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.

=== Dyeing ===
Leather horse armor can be dyed 12,326,391 different colors (using lone dyes or dye combinations) and put onto a horse to display that color. These changes can be reverted by {{control|using}} a filled [[cauldron]] with dyed leather horse armor.

===Smelting usage===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Horse Armor;Golden Horse Armor|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}

===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden horse armor and run toward any golden horse armor on the ground, inspecting it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory.

'''Super fertilizer''' is a powerful form of [[bone meal]] that is created using ammonia and phosphorus.

== Obtaining ==

=== Lab table ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Result
! Materials Needed
|-
!rowspan=2|{{slot|Super Fertilizer}}<br>[[Super Fertilizer]]
|{{slot}}{{slot|Ammonia|link=Compound}}{{slot|Phosphorus|link=Element}}{{slot}}
|-
|<center>[[Compound|Ammonia]], [[Element|Phosphorus]]</center>
|}

== Usage ==

Super fertilizer can be used in the same way as normal bone meal. It produces more flowers in a larger area when used on [[grass block]]s compared to bone meal. When super fertilizer is used on a [[sapling]], a tree is instantly grown after one use, instead of multiple uses as with bone meal. Super fertilizer matures crops with just one single use.

Note that super fertilizer doesn't instantly a hanging [[mangrove propagule]], likely due to a bug.

A '''sparkler''' is a [[Chemistry Update|chemistry]]-related [[item]] that emits particles when lit.
Sparklers are available in orange, blue, red, purple, and green colors.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

|Output=Sparkler
|description= Calcium Chloride: Orange<br>Cerium Chloride: Blue<br>Mercuric Chloride: Red<br>Potassium Chloride: Purple<br>Tungsten Chloride: Green<br>{{only|bedrock|education}}
|type=Miscellaneous
}}

== Usage ==

{{ctrl|Using}} a sparkler ignites it, causing its texture to change. When lit, the sparkler emits colored [[particles]]; the [[durability]] meter depletes while the sparkler is burning. Sparklers are one of the few [[item]]s that can be held in the [[off-hand]] {{in|be}}. Unlit sparklers have normal lighting like most items, while lit sparklers appear to glow when held in the player's hand, similarly to [[glow stick]]s.

When the [[player]] uses another item while a sparkler is lit, or holds the sparkler in the off-hand, the sparkler's durability stops depleting.

If the player has a lit sparkler in their [[inventory]] and goes into the [[water]], the sparkler is destroyed immediately. However, it does not get destroyed if dropped in water. It also cannot float.

Despite having durability, sparklers cannot be enchanted with [[Unbreaking]] or [[Mending]].

'''Raw salmon''' is a food item that can be eaten by the [[player]] or cooked to make [[cooked salmon]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
====Salmon====
[[Salmon]] always drops 1 raw salmon when killed, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-212795||Salmon & Fish mobs are not affected by Looting}}</ref> If it is killed while on [[fire]], it drops 1 [[Cooked Salmon|cooked salmon]] instead.
====Guardians and elder guardians ====
[[Guardian|Guardians]] and [[Elder Guardian|elder guardians]] have a 2.5% chance to drop a random fish, with 25% of them being raw salmon, which drops as cooked if the guardian was on fire. The chance of getting the fish drop is increased by 1% per level with [[Looting]] (for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III), but the type of fish is not affected.
====Polar bears====
[[Polar bear]]s have a 25% chance of dropping 0–2 raw salmon when killed. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked salmon instead.
=== Fishing ===
{{main|Fishing}}Raw salmon can be obtained from [[fishing]]. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the [[Lure]] enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).

Catching salmon awards 1-6 experience.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|raw-salmon}}

=== Villager gifts ===
{{in|java}}, Fisherman villagers throw raw salmon at [[player]]s under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.

== Usage ==

=== Smelting ingredient ===

{{smelting
|Raw Salmon
|Cooked Salmon
|0.35
}}

=== Food ===

Raw salmon restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.2 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Cats ===
Raw salmon can be used to tame [[cat]]s with {{frac|1|3}} chance of success, get cats off of [[chest]]s, and [[bed]]s, [[breed]] cats, and make baby cats grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time. Additionally, raw salmon can be used to heal cats by {{hp|2|mob=1}}.

Raw salmon can be used to gain [[ocelot]] trust, breed ocelots, and make baby ocelots grow up by 10%.
=== Dolphins ===

A [[dolphin]] can be fed raw salmon to increase its trust of the player and cause it to interact with the player more often. However, unlike most other animal mobs, this does not cause them to breed.

Additionally, dolphins swim to the nearest chest in a [[shipwreck]] or [[underwater ruin]] after they are fed raw salmon. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they swim to another structure with a chest.

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level Fisherman [[villager]]s have 50%{{only|bedrock}} or {{frac|2|3}}{{only|java}} chance to buy 6 raw salmon and one [[emerald]] for 6 cooked salmon.

Journeyman-level Fisherman villagers offer to buy 13 raw salmon for an emerald.

=== Wolves ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, raw salmon can be fed only to [[wolves]] not at full health, healing them by {{hp|2|mob=1}}. Unlike other wolf food, raw salmon cannot be used to breed wolves or to accelerate the growth of baby wolves.

'''Honeycombs''' are items obtained from [[bee nest]]s and beehives.

== Obtaining ==
{{See also|Tutorials/Honey farming}}
When a bee nest or beehive at {{cd|honey_level}} 5 is [[shear]]ed, it drops 3 honeycombs and angers any bees inside, causing them to attack. Having a lit [[campfire]] or lighting a fire underneath the nest or hive prevents the bees from becoming hostile.

A [[dispenser]] with shears inside can be used to shear the nest without angering the bees. The honeycomb pops out as a dropped item.

== Usage ==

=== Signs ===

{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[sign]] or a hanging sign prevents the sign from being edited.

=== Waxing ===
{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[block of copper]] changes the block into its waxed variant, preventing oxidation of the copper.

An '''amethyst shard''' is a crystal obtained from mining a fully grown [[amethyst cluster]] or can be obtained from chests in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mining ===
An [[amethyst cluster]] mined using a non-[[Silk Touch]], non-[[Fortune]] [[pickaxe]] drops 4 amethyst shards. When mined using any other tool, [[item]] or mechanism (such as [[explosion]]s or [[piston]]s) it drops 2 shards. The maximum amount of amethyst shards dropped can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance for eight shards, averaging 5.33 shards; Fortune II gives a 25% chance (each) to give eight or 12 shards, averaging 7 shards, and Fortune III gives a 20% chance (each) to give 8, 12, or 16 shards, averaging 8.8 shards.

If the amethyst cluster in any of its growth stages is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself rather than amethyst shards.

=== Allay duplication ===
If an amethyst shard is given to an [[allay]] that is currently dancing to an active [[jukebox]], the allay emits heart particles, consumes the amethyst shard and duplicates into another allay. After this, there is a 5 minute cool down until both allays can be duplicated like this again.

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}

A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>

If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.

=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}

=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.

=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.

Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.

Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.

For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].

==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.

=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.


Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.

Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.

After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}

[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]

A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.

{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.

{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.

: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}

Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.

=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.

Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}

Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).

=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.

=== Note Blocks ===
Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds.

An '''eye of ender''' is a craftable item used to locate [[stronghold]]s and activate the [[end portal]]s within them.

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
  |Blaze Powder
  |Ender Pearl
  |Output=Eye of Ender
  |type=Miscellaneous
}}

== Usage ==
=== Locating strongholds ===
[[File:Eye of Ender (break).gif|thumb|right|An animation of an eye of ender shattering.]]

To locate [[stronghold]]s (and the [[end portal]]s they house):
* Pressing {{control|use}} while holding an eye of ender causes it to fly approximately 12 blocks in the direction of the nearest stronghold, traveling through any blocks necessary, and leave a trail of purple particles, the same particle effect used for [[endermen]] and [[ender chests]]. 
** The eye leads to the [[chunk]] where a spiral staircase, the first room generated in the stronghold, is located.
** The center of this entrance staircase is always exactly at the chunk coordinates 4, ~, 4, although the eye of ender leads to chunk coordinates 0, ~, 0 (the northwest corner of the chunk).
* While over 12 blocks away from the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel upward to offer an easily-visible indication of the horizontal direction the player must travel.
* When closer than 12 blocks to the northwest corner of the staircase chunk, the eye will travel downward, to indicate the player is above a stronghold and must mine downward.
* After two or three seconds of travel, the eye floats in the air briefly, then either falls (becoming collectable again) or shatters in mid-air. The eye has a 20% chance of shattering (80% chance of surviving) per throw, therefore throwing it three times has approximately 50% overall chance to shatter the eye (0.8<sup>3</sup>=51.2%).
* The eye of ender's flying function works only in the [[Overworld]]. It does nothing in [[the Nether]], [[the End]], [[custom dimension]]s{{verify|type=current}}, or in worlds with no strongholds.

Note that the eyes may point to an incorrect location if the target chunks were generated with a different biomes map in an older version or through different generation settings.<ref>See also {{bug|MC-135996}}</ref>

=== Activating end portals ===
[[File:Active End Portal.png|thumb|right|An end portal activated with eyes of ender.]]
Once an end portal is found, the eyes of ender are required to activate it. End portals require a total of 12 eyes of ender in order to activate, though each individual frame-block has a 10% chance of containing an eye of ender when generated. Eyes can be placed in empty [[End portal frame]]s by pressing {{control|use}} on them until the entire ring of 12 is filled, thereby activating the portal. Due to the fact that there is a 10% chance of each individual end portal frame having an eye in it, there is a one out of one trillion chance of every frame having an eye in it thereby activating the portal even if the player doesn't have any eyes of ender.

{{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|[[File:Eye of Ender JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added eyes of ender.
|Eyes of ender can be used on a [[end portal frame|portal block]] to repair them, but repairing them does nothing.}}
{{History|||snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4|Each eye can now be placed in a [[end portal frame|portal block]] or used to hone in on a [[stronghold]]. [[Jens Bergensten|Jeb]] demonstrated the new uses for an eye in his livestream.<ref>http://www.twitch.tv/jebox/b/297000418</ref> An [[end portal]] within a stronghold could be seen in the stream with two eyes inserted into blocks.
|In older worlds with chunks generated before [[Java Edition Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3|Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3]], the eyes may mislead the [[player]] to a place where there isn't a [[stronghold]] at all. This happens because the eyes lead to where a stronghold should be based on the world seed in the current version, but before Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3 strongholds generated differently based on the seed.

==Issues==
{{issue list}}

==Trivia ==
*When thrown in third-person view, the eyes of ender fly out from the player's feet instead of their hand.
*Before [[Java Edition 1.9]], eyes of ender can be purchased from cleric villagers, which means players can find a [[stronghold]] and go to [[the End]] without accessing [[the Nether]] at all.
*{{IN|bedrock}} if the player travels beyond a certain radius (roughly 740,000 blocks), eyes of ender always point to a stronghold near spawn, even though strongholds continue to generate past this limit. If one travels to this limit, they can see eyes of ender suddenly switching direction. A similar phenomenon occurs with the {{cmd|locate}} command.

====[[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]]====
Helmets can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[armor material]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the helmet's maximum durability, rounded down.

===Mob loot===

If a [[zombie]], [[husk]], [[stray]] or [[skeleton]] is wearing armor, there is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop a helmet upon death. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be [[enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[vindicator]]s and [[pillager]]s spawned in [[raid]]s have a 8.3525% chance (10.28% on hard) to drop [[iron]] helmets. The dropped helmets are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being [[enchanted]] with a random [[enchantment]].

===Natural generation===
Two [[armor stand]]s are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one of them equipped with an [[iron helmet]].

===Chest loot===
{{IN|BE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest sometimes containing an [[Efficiency]] I leather cap.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-109048}}</ref>
{{LootChestItem|leather-cap,random-enchanted-leather-cap,chainmail-helmet,iron-helmet,level-enchanted-iron-helmet,golden-helmet,random-enchanted-golden-helmet,diamond-helmet,damaged-diamond-helmet,level-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet-2}}

===Trading===

{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance to sell an iron helmet for 4 emeralds. Journeyman-level armorers have a 40% chance to sell a chainmail helmet for 1 emerald. Master-level armorers always sell an enchanted diamond helmet for 11-27 emeralds. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell a leather cap<ref group="note" name="dye note">The leather armor has a random color created by two dyes (possibly the same dye twice.)</ref> for 5 emeralds. Master-level leatherworker villagers offer the same trade.

Armorer villagers may give the players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect a chainmail helmet.

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 25% chance to sell iron helmet for 5 emeralds, {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell chainmail helmet at journeyman-level for an emerald, and 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond helmet for 8 emeralds at master-level. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a 50% chance to sell leather cap for 5 emeralds as part of their trades, and 50% chance to sell an enchanted leather cap for 5 emeralds at the master level.

{{notelist|columns=1}}

==Usage ==

Helmets can be placed in the top armor slot of a player's [[inventory]] for activation.

===Defense points===

Defense points are each signified by half of a shirt of mail in the armor bar above the health bar. Each defense point reduces any damage dealt to the player that is absorbed by armor by 4%, increasing additively with the number of defense points. Different materials and combinations of armor provide different levels of defense.

The following table shows the number of defense points added by helmets.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet defense points"
|-
! scope="col" |Material
! scope="col" |
|-
! scope="row" |Leather
|{{armor|1}}

! scope="row" |Iron
|-
! scope="row" |Turtle Shell
|-
! scope="row" |Diamond
| rowspan="2" |{{armor|3}}
|-
! scope="row" |Netherite
|}

===Knockback resistance===
A netherite helmet provides 10% knockback resistance.

===Durability===

The following table shows the amount of damage each piece of armor can absorb before being destroyed.

Any "hit" from a damage source that can be blocked by armor removes one point of durability from each piece of armor worn for every {{hp|4}} of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Damage taken that armor doesn't protect (such as [[Damage#Fall damage|falling]] or [[Damage#Drowning|drowning]]) does not damage the armor, even if it is enchanted to protect against that type of damage. The following chart displays how many hits helmets can endure.

Netherite armor is not damaged by [[lava]] or [[fire]] when worn.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet durability"

! scope="row" |Turtle Shell
|275
|-
! scope="row" |Diamond
|363
|-
! scope="row" |Netherite
|407
|}

====Repair====

Helmets may be [[item repair|repaired]] by using them along with some of their crafting material (leather, gold ingots, iron ingots, diamonds or netherite) in an [[anvil]]. Chainmail helmets may be repaired in this way with iron ingots. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another helmet of like material.

===Enchantments===
A helmet can receive the following [[enchantment]]s. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher [[Tutorials/Enchanting mechanics#Enchantability|enchantability]] than iron or diamond.

===Turtle shell effect===

Equipping a {{ItemSprite|Turtle Shell}} turtle shell provides the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} status effect, allowing the player to remain underwater for an additional 10 seconds. The time that this effect lasts does not begin to count down until the player dives underwater, then the 10 seconds are counted down. The effect immediately recharges after exposure to air.

===Brewing ingredient===
A turtle shell can also be used as a potion brewing ingredient.

===Smelting usage===

{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Helmet;Chainmail Helmet;Golden Helmet|Iron Nugget;Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to ''golden'' helmets and pick them up, examining them for 6 to 8 seconds. Piglins can wear other helmets but are not attracted to them. They prefer stronger helmets over weaker helmets, with one exception: They always prefer golden helmets, throwing out stronger helmets in favor of gold helmets. Enchanted helmets are preferred over unenchanted helmets.

==Trivia ==
*Unlike the other helmets, the netherite helmet covers most of the player's face, due to a nose guard and cheek plates.
*The turtle shell is the only helmet that is not part of a complete set.
* In Bedrock Edition, there exists a bug<ref>{{Cite bug|MCPE|109048|Efficiency 1 Leather Cap in Woodland Mansions|date=December 1, 2020}}</ref> that makes it possible to obtain a Leather Cap enchanted with Efficiency I from [[Woodland Mansion]] chests with a chance of 1.45%. The enchantment has no effect on the cap, however.

An '''explorer map''' is a special [[map]] used to aid in finding rare [[generated structures]], including [[woodland mansion]]s, [[ocean monument]]s, and [[buried treasure]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Trading ===
Apprentice-level [[cartographer]] villagers sell ocean explorer maps for 13 emeralds and a compass. Journeyman-level cartographer villagers sell woodland explorer maps for 14 emeralds and a compass.

{{IN|java}}, if the cartographer is in [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], either spawned or transported, the trades for the map do not unlock. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the cartographer trades for the map are unlocked, but the purchased map shows the same layout as in the corresponding dimension and shows no destination structure, but if cartographer trades are unlocked in an old world type (prior-1.11.0), the game stops ticking.

In ''Java Edition'', each cartographer sells its own unique explorer map that points to a different location than other cartographers. Purchasing another explorer map from the same cartographer results in the same explorer map. In Bedrock Edition, a cartographer sells an explorer map that points to the nearest location, regardless of whether it is explored or previously mapped by another cartographer.<!-- start to glitched out-->

=== Chest loot ===
Treasure maps, in contrast to explorer maps, generate in underwater ruins or in shipwrecks.
{{LootChestItem|buried-treasure-map}}

== Usage ==
[[File:Explorer Map Comparison.gif|thumb|217px|Unexplored and partially explored maps.]]

{{See also|Map#Mapping|Map#Map content}}

=== Locating structures ===
There are three types of explorer maps: woodland, [[ocean]], and buried treasure. The maps differ from a normal map, in that it shows the area's land-water outline, with an orange striated (striped) texture for water<ref>Specifically, biomes in the "water_on_map_outlines" [[Tag#Biomes|biome tag]].</ref>, and the blank map texture for land. The maps show a section of land that contains a [[woodland mansion]], [[monument]] or [[buried treasure]] respectively. This may not be the nearest such [[structure]] to the [[player]]. The structures are displayed as a small icon. If the player icon is smaller than it would be on a normal map, that means the player is a great distance away. When the player is less than 1027 blocks away from the map border, the icon returns to the proper size. When the player reaches the map's area of land (512×512), the [[map]] fills in like a normal map.

The basic functions of a buried treasure explorer map are similar to that of the other two. However, instead of showing the structure icon on the map, it shows a red X instead. The [[buried treasure]] structure is located on the same X and Z coordinates as the middle of the X (the player marker may need to be aligned with the bottom of the middle 2×2 pixel square of the X). To locate the [[chest]] spot, hold the treasure map with both hands, not in the offhand slot.

The parts of the world that have already been explored and mapped are copied, and newly explored areas appear on both instances. In Creative mode, cloned explorer maps can be obtained by pick blocking on the explorer map displayed on [[item frames]] (the map needs to be out of the [[player]]'s inventory when using pick block, or else that map moves into the active hotbar slot).

=== Metadata ===
{{see also|Bedrock Edition data values}}
{{IN|bedrock}}, the item [[Data value]] distinguishes explorer maps from one another:

{{:Map/DV}}

=== Item data ===
An explorer map differs from a map in that its <code>display</code> tag is set, which includes a <code>Mapcolor</code> and a <code>LocName</code>; also its <code>Decorations</code> list includes an entry for its target monument, mansion or buried treasure. Its [[Map item format#map_<#>.dat format|map item entry]] is identical to that of a normal map, except that by the time the player sees it, its <code>colors</code> byte array is pre-filled with explorer maps' characteristic land-water boundary lines and water shading.

<div class="treeview">
It should be noted that this additional data is stored in the Cartographer's NBT data and in the inventory item's NBT data, and not in the map file (e.g. <samp>map_0.dat</samp>). If the [[player]] were to use the {{cmd|give}} command to give themselves a map with the same map ID as an existing explorer map, it would still have the Ocean Monument or the Woodland Mansion icon on the map, but it would simply be named "Map" instead of, for example, "Ocean Explorer Map".
* {{nbt|compound}} Item data
** {{nbt|compound|tag}}: 
*** {{nbt|compound|display}}: How the map looks in an item slot. See also [[Player.dat_format#Display Properties]].
**** {{nbt|string|Name}}: The name the map is given. In this case, they are localized strings: either <code>{"translate":"filled_map.monument"}</code>,<code>{"translate":"filled_map.mansion"}</code> or <code>{"translate":"filled_map.buried_treasure"}</code>.
**** {{nbt|int|MapColor}}: Color codes are calculated from the Red, Green and Blue components using this formula:<br>'''<span style="color:red">Red</span>[[wikipedia:Logical shift|<<]]16 + <span style="color:green">Green</span><<8 + <span style="color:blue">Blue</span>'''.<ref group=note>For positive values larger than 0x00FFFFFF, the top byte is ignored. All negative values produce white.</ref> Monument maps use 3830373, which is {{color swatch|58|114|101}}. Mansion maps use 5393476, which is {{color swatch|82|76|68}}. Buried treasure explorer maps do not use a color code.
*** {{nbt|list|Decorations}}:
**** {{nbt|compound}}: One of these for each icon on the map. Explorer maps always have at least one representing their target.
***** {{nbt|string|id}}: An arbitrary unique string identifying the decoration. For explorer map target structures, this is "+".
***** {{nbt|double|rot}}: The rotation of the icon. For explorer map target structures, this is always 180.
***** {{nbt|byte|type}}: The ID of the [[Map#Map icons|map icon]]: 8 for a mansion map, 9 for a monument map, 26 for a treasure map.
***** {{nbt|double|x}}: The world x-coordinate of the target structure icon.
***** {{nbt|double|z}}: The world z-coordinate of the target structure icon.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* When a [[cartographer]] generates the trade offers for the explorer maps, it chooses the location of one of the nearest structures of the respective type ([[monument]] or [[woodland mansion]]).
* For the reason above, explorer maps obtained from one cartographer are always the same. Also, if two cartographers unlock the explorer map trades approximately at the same place and at the same time, the map locations are usually identical. This sometimes also happens when finding multiple treasure maps from [[ocean ruins]].
* Explorer maps fill as the [[chunk]]s are generated, rather than when the [[player]] holds them while in the area; leaving an explorer map while exploring the area still fills the map.
* Buried treasure explorer maps are named ''Buried Treasure Map'' {{in|java}} while {{in|bedrock}}, they are named ''Treasure Map''.
* It is possible for a cartographer to give a monument or woodland mansion explorer map for areas where the [[generated structures|structures]] would have spawned in the world, but were unable to as a result of terrain generation. As a result, explorer maps, unfortunately, don't always guarantee that a structure exists at the purported location. This is most common with woodland mansion explorer maps, due to its generation algorithm.
* On [[Bedrock Edition]], inventory editors and add-ons can be used to create Explorer Maps that lead to any structure.

'''Phantom membranes''' are items obtained from killing [[phantom]]s. They are used to repair [[elytra]] and brew [[Potion of Slow Falling|potions of Slow Falling]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
[[Phantom]]s drop 0–1 phantom membrane when killed by a [[player]] or tamed [[wolf]]. [[Looting]] increases the maximum drops by 1 per level, for a maximum of 4 with Looting III.

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance to bring the player a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 3.22% chance to be a phantom membrane.

== Usage ==
=== Repairing ===

Phantom membranes can be used in an [[anvil]] to repair [[elytra]], restoring 108 durability points (25% of the pair's total durability) per membrane while preserving their [[enchantments]].

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting
|head=1
|showdescription=1

|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.

<!-- IT IS SHERD, NOT SHARD! DO NOT CHANGE TO SHARD, AS IT IS NAMED SHERD IN-GAME! -->
'''Pottery sherds'''<ref group="note">The word "[[wiktionary:sherd#English|sherd]]" or "[[wiktionary:potsherd#English|potsherd]]" is used by archaeologists to refer to fragments of pottery or other ceramics in order to differentiate them from "shards" of glass, metal, minerals and other materials.
</ref> are a set of twenty [[item]]s used to craft [[decorated pot]]s with ornamental designs. They can be obtained only by [[brush]]ing [[suspicious block]]s, with the variants of sherd obtainable being dependent on the structure.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
When a [[decorated pot]] is broken with a [[pickaxe]], [[axe]], [[shovel]], [[hoe]] or [[sword]] that is ''not'' enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops all of the pottery sherds and [[brick]]s used to craft it with a  0.00009659969% chance of spawning in a desert well.

=== Suspicious block loot ===
Pottery sherds can be found as [[suspicious block]] loot in [[trail ruins]], [[ocean ruins]], [[desert pyramids]] and [[desert well]]s, and can be extracted from these blocks using a [[brush]].
