Ocean ruins or underwater ruins are oceanic structures primarily composed of stone bricks or sandstone. They come in many different sizes varying from large villages to single ruined huts. They are rare, and have cold and warm variants.

Generation

Cold ocean ruins generate in normal, cold, and frozen ocean biomes, as well as their deep variants. They are composed of stone materials.

Warm ocean ruins generate in warm, lukewarm, and deep lukewarm ocean biomes, and are composed of sandstone and stone materials.

Although most ocean ruins generate underwater, they sometimes generate on land.

30% of ocean ruins generate as large ocean ruins; the other 70% generate as small ruins. If the ocean ruin is large, there is a 90% chance for 4-8 (inclusive) small ocean ruins to generate around it in a cluster. If the ocean ruin is warm, large ocean ruins generate with a structure integrity of 0.9 and small ocean ruins generate with a structure integrity of 0.8. If the ocean ruin is cold, the "brick" variant of the chosen structure type generates with a structure integrity of 0.9 if large and 0.8 if small. The "cracked" variant generates with a structure integrity of 0.7, and the "mossy" variant generates with a structure integrity of 0.5, both regardless of size. Reduced structure integrity may also remove drowned and loot chests from the structures.[verify]

During generation, all air blocks and structure blocks act as structure voids.

Structure

Main article: Ocean Ruins/Structure

The shape and size of ocean ruins varies greatly, and they often generate together in groups to create ruined villages.

All but two of the structures contain a loot chest with loot inside. The chest contains loot for specifically either a small or large sized ocean ruin structure and may be buried by some sort of material such as gravel and sand.

Cold ocean ruins are primarily composed of stone bricks and gravel, and also contain prismarine, sand, magma blocks, sea lanterns, polished granite, glazed terracotta, bricks, planks, cobblestone, mossy cobblestone, stone brick stairs, obsidian, and/or a chest with loot in it. Warm ocean ruins are primarily composed of sand and sandstone, and also contain polished granite, polished diorite, sea lanterns, magma blocks, gravel, terracotta, sandstone stairs, and/or a loot chest.

Many of the structures spawn with drowned (usually 1–2, though a few structures have 3 or 4).

Note that natural ocean ruins generate following the rules above and may not exactly match the stored structures.

A '''chalkboard''' is a [[block]] that can display more text than a [[sign]].<ref>https://education.minecraft.net/support/knowledge-base/using-slates-posters-boards/</ref> Three sizes are available: 1×1 (slate), 2×1 (poster), and 3×2 (board).

== Obtaining ==
In ''[[Education Edition]]'', chalkboards can be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]] or through the {{cmd|give}} command.
In ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'', chalkboards cannot be obtained by commands or the creative inventory, and can only be obtained by using glitches or inventory editors.

== Usage ==
A chalkboard can be used similarly to a [[sign]], to display text. Once placed, select the chalkboard and enter the desired text and click the "OK" button. The "×" in the upper right corner of the board closes the edit screen.

=== Placement ===
Chalkboards may be placed on the top or side of other blocks (including non-solid blocks like [[fence]]s, [[glass]], [[rail]]s, and other chalkboards). To place a chalkboard, {{control|use}} a chalkboard item while pointing at the block the chalkboard should be attached to. To place a chalkboard 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 chalkboard.

1×1 slates placed on the top of a block stand on a short post, facing in the direction of the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. 2×1 posters and 2×3 boards can be placed in any of 4 different directions. Chalkboards placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the chalkboards.

=== Text ===
When entering text, six lines of text are available for the slates and posters, while fifteen lines of text are available for the 2×3 boards. To switch between lines, the player can press Enter or the up/down arrow keys. The location of text currently selected has a flashing cursor.

While editing, typing and backspacing can occur at any point in the line by moving the cursor using the left and right arrow keys. Once the end of the line has been reached, the word is hyphenated and is continued on the next line.

After the editing window is closed, right-clicking on a chalkboard reopens the editing menu. Copy and paste can be performed, and no more than the basic/shifted keyboard characters may be entered.

=== Interaction ===
Chalkboards act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so {{control|sneaking}} is required to place blocks or use items while the cursor is pointed at them.

Unlike signs, boards block a [[piston]] from moving.

Boards have no collision box (they are completely non-solid), so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through boards blocks. Other blocks (including other boards) can be placed on any edge of a board.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around boards. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to boards as if the boards were flammable, but the boards do not burn.

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.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== 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.

'''Banners''' are tall decorative [[blocks]], featuring a field that is highly customizable using [[dye]]s and [[banner pattern]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

Banners can be broken with or without a [[tool]], but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Banners|Axe}}

A banner also breaks and drops itself as an [[Item (entity)|item]] if the block the banner is attached to is moved, removed, or destroyed.

=== Trading ===
Expert-level cartographer [[villager]]s always offer to [[trading|sell]] 1 or 2 blank banners of a random color for 3 [[emeralds]]. Expert-level shepherd villagers have a {{frac|2|7}} chance of offering the same trade.{{only|java}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cartographer and shepherd villagers both offer to sell one of 16 blank banners for 3 emeralds as part of their trades.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Illager]]s that spawn carrying an ominous banner{{only|java|short=1}} / illager banner{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}} always drop it upon death.

== Usage ==

[[File:Standing banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping block on a banner.]]
[[File:Wall banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping on a wall mounted banner.]]

There are 16 colored blank banners, and numerous patterns each available in each of the 16 colors. A banner can feature up to 6 different patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing water.

Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground facing in any direction, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location. 

Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so [[entities]] can move through them.

Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a banner for floor banners, or the bottom half of wall banners.

When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block, and it is possible to place it so it appears half buried.

Banners can also be placed in [[item frame]]s, where they simply appear as their item model.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around banners. {{IN|bedrock}}, banners can be [[waterlogged]].

<gallery>
File:Wall banner with water below.png| Water can be placed below wall banners
File:Water flowing around banner.png| Water flows around a banner on the ground
</gallery>

Lava can create [[fire]] in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods). Banners also cannot be moved by [[piston]]s.

If a banner is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when a pattern is added, but not when a pattern is removed.

=== Helmet ===
{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[Helmet|head slot]] in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|java|short=1}}.

=== Chestplate ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}}.

</gallery>

=== Crafting ingredient ===

[[Shield]]s can have patterns applied to them using banners. The shield pattern has a smaller resolution than the banner pattern, causing them to look different or offset. Banners that have more than six patterns, such as Ominous Banners or banners obtained through inventory editors, will be reduced to six patterns on the shield.

|type=Combat
|description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no pre-existing patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield.
}}

=== Copying ===

Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners. Banners with more than 6 patterns applied using commands cannot be copied in this manner.

=== Map marker ===
[[File:Banner marked map.png|alt=All banners marked on a map, alongside a named banner.|thumb|right|How every banner appears {{IN|java}} on a map, including named banners.]]

{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
{{IN|java}}, {{control|using}} on a standing banner with a [[map]] selected places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and {{control|using}} on the banner again removes the marker. Note that wall banners cannot serve as map markers. The marker has the same color as the banner's base without decorations. The marker is removed if the banner is destroyed unless the map is locked using a [[cartography table]]. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker.

=== Patterns ===
{{see also|Banner/Patterns|title1=List of patterned banners}}
[[File:Spawned-in Banner.png|thumb|100px|Example of a banner with more than 6 patterns, a result of using the {{cmd|give}} command.]]

A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. A banner can have up to 16 layers of patterns with the use of commands. The total number of unique banners is approximately 2.3x10^16 (or 23 quadrillion).

Any color banner can be used; the pattern overlays the color. {{IN|java}}, a [[loom]] is used to make patterns. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the patterns can be made in a [[loom]] or a [[crafting table]].

A banner can have more than six layers of patterns through the commands <code>/[[Commands/give|give]]</code>, <code>/[[Commands/setblock|setblock]]</code> or <code>/[[Commands/fill|fill]]</code>. This only works in ''Java Edition'', as Bedrock Edition doesn't have any NBT commands. Here is an example of a mining banner with seven different patterns. There is specific codes for the [[Banner#Item data:~:text=white-,Item,-In Java Edition|colors]] and [[Banner/Patterns|patterns]] that you have to input. 

<code><nowiki>/give @p white_banner{display:{Name:"\"Mining Industries Banner\""},BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Pattern:"cr",Color:15},{Pattern:"bs",Color:15},{Pattern:"sc",Color:12},{Pattern:"ms",Color:0},{Pattern:"hh",Color:15},{Pattern:"bo",Color:15},{Pattern:"tts",Color:8}]}} 1</code>

{{LoadPage|Template:Banner pattern loom recipes|Loom recipes|h4}}
{{LoadPage|Banner/Banner pattern crafting recipes|Crafting recipes|h4|transcluded=1}}

=== Renaming ===
{{IN|java}}, a banner can be given a custom name that remains as the banner is placed and retrieved. The player can use an [[anvil]] to rename the banner item, or may change the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command on the banner block.

=== Fuel ===
Banners can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per banner.

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

== Issues ==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* With 16 blank banners, 38 patterns of 16 colors each (608 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16 × (608<sup>0</sup> + 608<sup>1</sup> + 608<sup>2</sup> + 608<sup>3</sup> + 608<sup>4</sup> + 608<sup>5</sup> + 608<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 809 quadrillion - 809 with 15 zeros (809,573,616,779,945,488). The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns, or the entire banner, or be duplicated due to the symmetric set of patterns (e.g. field or (yellow) + per pale azure (blue) = field azure + per pale or inverted).
** Not 38 patterns are available on BE, but 40 patterns of 16 colors each (640 uniquely-colored patterns), so the number is even greater. 16 × (640<sup>0</sup> + 640<sup>1</sup> + 640<sup>2</sup> + 640<sup>3</sup> + 640<sup>4</sup> + 640<sup>5</sup> + 640<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 1 quintillion - 1 with 18 zeros (1,101,232,303,249,827,856). This increases the number by almost 1.4 times, or almost 292 quadrillion, despite the addition of only 2 patterns.
* If a banner has over 6 patterns, only the six bottom-most patterns are displayed when hovered over in the [[inventory]].
* The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for [[wiktionary:mojäng|mojäng]]. If [[wikipedia:Google Translate|Google Translate]] is used, it translates to "thingys" or "contraption".
** In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called ''mojäng''.
* [[List of block textures#Banner Textures|Banner textures]] are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner.
** There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner.
** The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side.
** Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent.
* Banners that have the purple NBT+ line in the bottom (obtained by holding Ctrl and middle-clicking the banner, which also copies the NBT [[tag]] of anything that the player points their crosshair to) actually have no difference with the base banner obtained by middle click.
*The Illager Banner in Bedrock Edition is available as a separate item but is just a second variant of the white banner.
**Standard variant of white banner is set to type 0.
**Illager variant is set to type 1.

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 ===

|A2= Any stone-tier block |B2= Any stone-tier block |C2= Any stone-tier block
|Output= Brewing Stand
|type= Brewing
|description=Can use cobblestone and its other variants interchangeably.
|foot=1
}}

== 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.

== 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>

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:
{| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right"
|+
!Name
!Max Level
![[Enchanting|Method]]
|-
|[[Curse of Vanishing]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}}

Issues relating to "Ocean Ruins" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

Land ruin

An ocean ruin in Bedrock Edition that generated completely on land. Note the waterlogged chest and the water block above it that has not been updated.

Land ruin Java

An ocean ruin in Java Edition that also generated completely on land. Note that the loot chest is not waterlogged and doesn't have a water block on it.

  • In the Bedrock Edition, the loot chest of ocean ruins generates waterlogged as well as having a water block above it. This can be seen in the image on the right. It is unknown whether it is intentional that water is part of the ruin's structure.[1]
    • In the Java Edition though, this is not the case, according to the second picture.[2]
