Spawning

Polar bears are found in Snowy Tundra, Snowy Mountains and Ice Spikes biomes, in groups of up to four (up to two‌[Bedrock Edition only]). If there is a group of two or more there is always only one parent, and the other one is a cub. They can also be found in deep and regular frozen oceans.

Polar bears can spawn on top of regular ice, but not packed ice or blue ice.

Drops

When killed, a polar bear has a 34 chance to drop 0–2 raw cod, and a 14 chance to drop 0–2 raw salmon. The fish will be raw, even if the polar bear is on fire when it is killed.

Like other baby animals, killing a baby polar bear yields no items or experience.

Behavior

Polar bears can exist in a passive, neutral, or hostile state. The cubs are passive; adults are neutral. They will become hostile towards the player if they get too close to their cubs (this does not seem to happen as fast on easy difficulty). If a cub is attacked, all adults within a 41×21×41 cuboid will become hostile towards the attacker, regardless of difficulty (although in peaceful difficulty, their attacks will do zero damage to players). Attacking an adult who is within a 16×8×16 cuboid of a cub will also provoke other adults within a 21×21×21 cuboid of the attacked adult.‌[Java Edition only] Polar bears can be accidentally provoked by other mobs.

Polar bears attack by rearing on their back legs and then mauling down on the attacker with their front paws. Their swimming speed is equal to the player's, making them difficult to get away from if they are attacking in water.

Polar bear cubs' growth cannot be sped up.

'''A very fine item''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], found only in the {{code|isolation}} dimension.

== Appearance ==
The texture of a very fine item resembles the side face of a grass block with the words "Home Sweet Home" written on it. Unlike most items, its texture is 64x64 pixels, rather than the usual 16x16.

== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
A very fine item can only be obtained from an item frame in the {{Code|isolation}} dimension. There is a maximum of 1 fine item that can be found legitimately in any world.

=== Cheats/Creative mode ===
This item can't be found in the creative inventory, but it can be middle-click duplicated in creative mode or given with the {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:fine_item <amount>}} command.

== Usage ==
This item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. It can still be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame.

{{for|other kinds of boats|Boat (disambiguation)}}

A '''boat with chest''' is a single [[chest]] occupying the passenger seat of a [[boat]], and functions as such. As it can still be driven it can be used to transport [[item]]s over bodies of water.

== Obtaining ==
A boat with chest can be directly retrieved by attacking it, as it drops itself in item form, along with its contents.

[[Tool]]s and [[weapon]]s with damage above 4 can instantly destroy a boat with chest in one hit.{{only|Java}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|head= 1
|Chest
|Matching Boat
|Output= Matching Boat with Chest
|type= Transportation
|foot= 1
}}

== Usage ==
A boat with chest can be used for the transportation of players, mobs and items, or as fuel when [[smelting]].

=== Fuel ===
A boat with chest can be used as fuel in a [[furnace]], it lasts 60 seconds, smelting up to 6 items.

=== Transportation ===
{{main|Boat#Transportation}}

Boats with chests can carry only one entity while regular boats can carry up to two.

== Behavior ==
[[File:All boats with chests.png|alt=This photo shows all the types of boats with chests.|thumb|240px|All types of boats with chests.]]
{{main|Boat#Behavior}}
Boats with chests share most behaviors with boats.

=== Item storage ===
[[File:Boat with Chest GUI.png|thumb|176px|The GUI of a boat with chest.]]
The inventory of the boat with chest has the same amount of slots as a single chest. Its inventory can be accessed by {{Control|Sneak|text=sneaking}} and {{Control|interact|text=interacting}} with the boat with chest, {{control|interact|text=interacting}} with the part of the boat with chest that actually contains the chest while another player or entity is inside the boat, or by opening the player's {{Control|inventory}} while inside the boat. This means that the player cannot access armor slots without exiting the boat.

When a boat with chest moves above, underneath, or beside a [[hopper]], its inventory is filled or drained accordingly. Due to the size of its hitbox, a boat with chest can be placed above up to 9 hoppers, allowing it to evenly split its items nine ways.

=== Naming ===
{{IN|java}}, unlike most other storage devices, a boat with chest renamed in an [[anvil]] does not display the custom name in its GUI.<ref>{{bug|MC-249408||Boats with Chests lose their name when placed}}</ref>

=== Piglin ===
As with other chests, opening or breaking a boat with chest causes nearby piglin(s) to attack the player.

== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:
Boats with chests use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* A [[chest]] is short enough that a boat with chest falls onto it rather than crashes into it.
* The chest texture is 12×12 pixels, rather than the 14×14 pixel texture the block uses. This is not the case with the [[minecart with chest]].
* Despite the minecart with chest using the Christmas texture, the boat with chest still uses the default chest texture during Christmas time.<ref>{{bug|MC-249378}}</ref>

A '''potato''' is a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from potato crops that can be used to plant them, consumed raw or [[cook]]ed to make [[baked potato]]es.

'''Potato crops''' are planted in [[farmland]] and used to grow potatoes and, rarely, [[Poisonous Potato|poisonous potatoes]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===
[[Village]] farm plots have a chance of being planted with potatoes. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

{| class="wikitable"
! Village style !! Chance
|-
| {{EnvSprite|snowy-village}} Snowy || 70%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|plains-village}} Plains || 15%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|taiga-village}} Taiga || 10%
|}

Fully grown potato crops drop 2 to 5 potatoes ({{frac|3|5|7}} per crop harvested on average) and have a 2% chance of dropping an additional [[poisonous potato]]. Potato yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} potatoes. [[Bone meal]] can be used to mature the potato to its last stage of growth.

The first two potatoes always drop, and then three more attempts are made to drop a potato with a success rate of 57.14286% to yield the extra 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Zombie]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[zombie villager]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping either an [[iron ingot]], [[carrot]], or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% ({{frac|1|100}}) per level of looting. This gives potatoes the following chances of dropping:
* {{frac|1|120}} (about 0.83%)
* {{frac|7|600}} (about 1.17%) with Looting I
* {{frac|9|600}} (1.50%) with Looting II
* {{frac|11|600}} (about 1.83%) with Looting III
If a zombie, husk, or zombie villager is killed with fire, it drops a baked potato instead.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|potato}}

== Usage ==

=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming}}
When farmed, potatoes require 8 [[Block tick|stages]] to grow. However, there are four ''visible'' stages due to having only four distinct textures: every two stages have the same texture, except that growth stage 7 keeps the same appearance as stages 5–6, so that only stage 8 has the final, mature appearance. Planted potatoes require a light level of 9 or greater to continue growing. If the light level is 7 or below, the crops instantly un-plant themselves ("pop off"). It is not possible to plant potatoes if the light level is too low.

Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is [[Farmland#Hydration|hydrated]]. Using [[bone meal]] on crops also increases the speed of growth by randomly increasing their growth stage by 2 to 5.

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.

=== Food ===
To eat a potato, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the [[hotbar]]. Eating a potato restores {{hunger|1}} hunger and 0.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Breeding ===
[[Pig]]s follow and can be [[bred]] by a player holding a potato.

[[Villager]]s can pick up potato items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 potatoes to become willing.

=== Smelting ingredient ===

}}

=== Trading ===
Novice-level farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 26 potatoes for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

=== Composting ===
Placing a potato into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. This is less efficient than composting with [[Baked Potato|baked potatoes]], which has a higher success chance of 85%.

'''Items''' are "dropped" [[block]]s or [[item]]s (non-block resources) that appear in the world, rather than being in the [[inventory]] of a [[player]] or [[block entity]]; they are a type of [[entity]].

== Appearance ==

[[File:Item entities.png|150px|thumb|3D dropped items, both blocks and strict items.]]

Items have two possible appearances, generally corresponding to whether the item appears as a 3D or 2D shape in a player's inventory screens. 3D items appear as their 3D shape, miniaturized to about {{frac|1|4}} scale, while 2D items appear as {{frac|1|2}} scale with all the pixels extruded into a cube. Both types slowly rotate and bob up and down; this is merely a visual effect, the item itself does not actually rotate or bob up and down.

Item entities that represent a stack of more than one item appear as several items stuck together. Stacks of 1 appear as one item, 2-16 as two items, 17–32 as three, 33-48 as four, and 49+ as five.

The rotation rate of the item is approximately 2.87675 degrees per tick, or 57.595 degrees per second.

== Behavior ==

Item entities come from many sources. Some common ones are:
* The death of a [[mob]] or [[player]].
* A [[block]] that is mined by a player, destroyed by an [[explosion]], or washed away by [[water]].
* An inventory item tossed by pressing the drop item key (default {{key|Q}} on PC, {{xbtn|dpad-down}} on Xbox, {{nsbtn|down}}/{{nsbtn|dpad-down}} on Nintendo Switch, {{psbtn|dpad-down}} on PlayStation) or dragging a stack outside of an inventory window.
** In the mobile versions of {{el|be}}, items in the hotbar can be dropped by pressing on the item's slot. The entire stack is dropped.
* A container (other than an {{BlockLink|ender chest}} or a {{BlockLink|shulker box}}) that is destroyed while holding items inside.

The player may be thought of as having an "item pickup" box that surrounds their hitbox. This pickup box extends 1 additional block to the horizontal sides, and 0.5 additional blocks up and down. Any item whose hitbox intersects with the pickup box can be picked up. The pickup box is inclusive on the horizontal sides (distance less than or equal to 1 will count), and exclusive on the vertical sides (distance less than 0.5 will count, but not equal). When the player's hitbox size changes, such as when crouching{{only|java}} or sleeping, the pickup box size changes with it.

Once an item entity's hitbox overlaps with the player's pickup box, it can transfer its items. As many items as can fit in the player inventory, excluding the armor slots and the [[dual wield|off-hand slot]], are transferred. If any item is transferred, [[Item (entity)#Sounds|a "plopping" sound]] is played. If all items are transferred, the items appear to move into the center of the player. The item entity never physically moves, however, which means it can appear to go through lava and blocks in its path. This can happen through blocks that are thinner than a full block, but also through the shared edge of two full blocks. Unlike [[experience orb]]s, multiple item entities can be picked up simultaneously. Dropped items have a delay of 10 [[tick]]s (half a second) between appearing and being able to be picked up, or 40 ticks (2 seconds) if thrown by a player, [[dolphin]], or [[fox]].

When two stackable items of the same type come within 3/4 of a block of each other, they merge into a single stack if the resulting stack size does not exceed that item's maximum stack size.

Items do not collide with other entities(except boats) and are only moved or stopped by blocks.

Like other entities, items can be pushed by flowing water and [[bubble column]]s, pushed by a [[piston]], launched by a moving [[slime block]], stuck to a [[honey block]], or caught in a [[cobweb]]. Items move at faster speeds if [[ice]] is placed under the flowing water. When in still water, items float slowly up to the surface.

Items can be reared by [[fishing rod]]s, costing 3 [[durability]].{{only|je}}

If an item is within a [[solid block]], then it flies out one of the unobstructed sides, or out of the top of the block if surrounded by solid blocks on all sides. It does this even if the space below is unoccupied; therefore, it is possible to recover an item dropped by breaking a hole in a floor by quickly placing another block there.

Items visually disappear when the player is about 16 blocks away from them, and reappear when they get closer. This distance can be adjusted by the "Entity Distance" slider in [[Options#Video Settings|video settings]].

Unlike most entities, items cannot be spectated in [[Spectator]] mode without use of the {{cmd|spectate}} command.

=== Damage ===
Items cannot be attacked by players or mobs; attempting to do so simply hits through them. However, they take damage and disappear from environmental or block-based damage such as [[explosion]]s, [[fire]], [[lava]], and contact with [[cactus|cacti]]. Items have essentially no health, so they are destroyed by the slightest damage, though if set on fire they may remain for a few seconds before disappearing. [[Nether star]]s are immune to explosions, and [[netherite]]-based items and tools are immune to fire and float on top of lava. Also, some blocks that normally damage mobs, such as [[magma block]]s, [[campfire]]s, [[Sweet Berries|sweet berry bushes]], [[flower|wither rose]]s and [[powder snow]], do not damage items.

=== Despawning ===

Items despawn after 6000 game [[tick]]s (5 minutes) of being in a loaded, entity-ticking [[chunk]]; this is affected by the player's [[simulation distance]]. If two item stacks merge, the timer is set to the item that has more time remaining. The 5-minute timer is paused when the chunk is unloaded or no longer processing entities. Nether stars do not despawn{{only|bedrock}}.

Items that fall into the [[void]] immediately despawn when they fall below Y=-128 in the [[Overworld]], or Y=-64 in [[the Nether]] and [[the End]].

== Sounds ==

'''Apples''' are [[food]] items that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Block loot ===

Oak and dark oak [[leaves]] have 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}) chance of dropping an apple when decayed or broken, but not if burned. Breaking leaves with a [[tool]] enchanted with the [[Fortune]] enchantment increases the chances of dropping an apple: 0.556% ({{frac|1|180}}) with Fortune I, 0.625% ({{frac|1|160}}) with Fortune II, and 0.833% ({{frac|1|120}}) with Fortune III.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|apple}}

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level [[Trading#Farmer|farmer]] [[Villager|villagers]] have a 50% ({{frac|1|2}}){{only|bedrock}} or 66.7% ({{frac|2|3}}){{only|java}} chance of selling 4 apples as part of their trades.

== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat an apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|4}} [[hunger]] and 2.4 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Composting ===
Placing an apple into a [[composter]] has a 65% ({{frac|13|20}}) chance of raising the compost level by 1.

A '''minecart''' is a train-like vehicle [[entity]] that runs on [[Rail (disambiguation)|rail]]s.

== Obtaining ==

Minecarts can be retrieved by {{control|attack|text=attacking}} them for some time. Minecarts can also be retrieved with one attack from a [[pickaxe]] provided the player's attack cooldown is reset. A minecart is also destroyed if it makes contact with a [[cactus]], or if shot with a [[bow]] and arrow.

=== Entity loot ===
[[Minecart with command block]]s can be given to the player with the {{cmd|/give}} command or through the creative inventory under certain conditions{{only|java}}; [[minecart with spawner]]s{{only|java}} are available only via the {{cmd|/summon}} command. Each drop 1 minecart when broken.

== Usage ==
[[File:RideableMinecart.png|thumb|right|A rideable minecart on rails surrounded by wood slabs]]

A minecart can be placed in the same manner as most blocks but can be placed only on top of a [[rail]]. Once placed, it may be derailed by pushing it off the end of the track. After this, it can be railed again by placing a rail directly below it or pushing it onto a track.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Transportation ===
[[File:Steve Riding a Minecart.png|thumb|right|upright|[[Steve]] riding a minecart]]
{{see also|Transportation|Riding}}

Minecarts can be ridden by {{control|use|text=pressing the "use" control}} on them. Once inside, an external impulse may be needed to make the minecart start moving. The player can slowly move the minecart forward while riding it, by pressing {{control|forward}}. If a mob walks in front of an empty minecart, it is pulled into the cart.

After rolling off of the end of a track, a minecart can be pushed around on open blocks. If a minecart is pushed onto or falls onto tracks, it "snaps" to those tracks. When riding a minecart, if the minecart lands on a rail, the player does not take any fall damage. <!--Minecarts and arrows don't interact anymore.-->

Unlike with [[bed]]s, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied minecart.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|161251|Attempting to enter an occupied bed displays a message over the hotbar, but attempting to enter an occupied vehicle does not|date=September 18, 19|resolution=Works as Intended}}</ref>

=== Dismounting ===
Players can exit the minecart by pressing {{control|sneak}}. When a player or mob dismounts a minecart, either by choice, by breaking the minecart, or by passing over an [[activator rail]], the minecart tries to find a safe ejection destination one block away. First it checks the eight horizontally adjacent blocks in the following order of priority relative to direction of travel: right, left, rear right, rear left, front right, front left, rear, front. A valid destination has a block underneath with a solid (not necessarily full) top surface and a space with enough headroom and width for the passenger to fit in when standing at the center. The space can even contain liquid or have open trapdoors if the mob is slim enough, and presence of other mobs doesn't matter. If no valid destination exists on same horizontal level, the minecart then checks the blocks one above, then one below. For a player, the minecart also checks for crawlable destinations. If still none, the minecart chooses its own location. Once the minecart picks a destination, it actually ejects the passenger one block up in the air and the passenger settles down on its own. Under a low ceiling this may cause one tick of suffocation damage. The air drop exists to allow passengers to land on carpet or bottom slabs.

== Behavior ==

=== Speed ===

Minecarts have a predefined speed limit of exactly 8 blocks per second ''per axis of travel''. A minecart traveling diagonally can, therefore, travel up to 11.314 blocks per second.<ref>The square root of 8<sup>2</sup> + 8<sup>2</sup>. See [[wikipedia:Pythagorean theorem|Pythagorean theorem]].</ref> When a minecart comes to a turn it moves diagonally across that turn.

[[Powered rail]]s powered by redstone give minecarts a boost of speed. Speed is gradually decreased if there are no powered rails to assist its movement, and an unpowered powered rail slows down a minecart rapidly. The speed decreases at a faster rate when going uphill, compared to when moving horizontally. A minecart does not need powered rails to assist its movement down a hill.
<!-- Is this comparison to real-life physics necessary? - One unit of kinetic energy could be defined as the energy gained by a cart going down a one-block slope and lost by a cart when it goes up a one-block slope. If a 45-degree downward slope is connected directly into an upward slope, an initial height of 60 blocks results in a final height of 40 blocks, a loss of 20 units of potential energy. But if 20 sections of flat track are inserted between the slopes, the final height is 35. This implies that one unit of energy is lost for every 4 sections of horizontal track traveled with an initial stored energy of between 60 and 40. At much lower speeds, much less energy is lost, implying that the energy lost is a percentage of the cart's current energy. The above gives about 0.5% energy loss per section of track. One implication of this is that more energy lost when the cart has more energy, so a gradual slope should allow you to travel much farther distances than a steep slope followed by a long flat section. (This is different from real-life physics, where friction does not increase with velocity. However, it may be an attempt to mirror air resistance, which ''does'' increase with velocity.) -->

Anything in the way of the minecart brings it to a stop. Once a minecart has left the track, it rapidly decelerates within one or two blocks. When mobs touch a minecart, they affect it in the same way a player would, i.e. mobs that move up against a still cart set it in motion.

If a minecart is moving fast enough, it can skip across one block without a track and reattach to track on the other side, at significantly reduced energy and speed. A minecart's hitbox can skip turns if the minecart is boosted using enough powered rails.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|179971|Minecart skips turns if too fast|date=April 22, 2020}}</ref>

The speed and momentum of a minecart can differ depending on whether or not it is empty, and in the case where a minecart has a container, the speed can differ depending on the quantity and type of items inside.

=== Merged minecarts ===

{{IN|java}}, two or more minecarts can be merged by pushing them into each other so that they overlap. Merged minecarts move as a collective, like a train, and can be useful for long-distance transport because while moving in a straight line, they ''do not need powered rails to keep their speed''.

To summarize:
* Minecarts can also be merged by ''dropping'' a minecart on another minecart.
* Merged minecarts do not lose speed while traveling on straight rails
* ''Corners'' in the rails might cause merged minecarts to unmerge.
* Minecarts with ''chest'' (even fully filled) can also be merged and also do ''not'' require powered rails.

=== Distance traveled by empty carts starting on a downward slope ===

This table shows the distance traveled by an unoccupied minecart on a downward slope, with a boost (or no boost). The most efficient way is to use only 1 boost at the bottom of the incline on the flat surface. Using 2 increases distance by about 20% or 1.5 blocks. All distance trends based on the height seem to be logarithmic.
The carts started from rest, on a slope Height blocks up.

=== Collision ===

Minecarts are about the same size as a block (1×1). Because of this, a ladder, door, or trapdoor prevents it from falling down a 1×1 hole. Carts on [[rail]]s also ignore collision in certain situations. A cart traveling uphill, downhill, or on a curve with a block placed in front of it, goes through the block.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8004|Minecarts glitch through the stop block of a track that ends with a turn or a downward slope|date=January 20, 2013}}</ref>

A minecart that reaches the end of a rail up against an opaque solid block bounces back, but if the block is transparent then it stops. The minecart can even bounce against an opaque block from a standstill if the rail underneath is powered. A player or mob riding in a minecart does not collide with or suffocate in any transparent blocks but suffocates inside opaque blocks.

Minecarts are completely unaffected by [[ice]], [[packed ice]], and [[blue ice]]<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8265|Minecarts don't slide on any sort of ice|date=January 25, 2013}}</ref>; they can also be destroyed by coming in contact with [[lava]] or [[fire]].

=== Mobs ===
{{missing information|section|some other mobs that cannot be picked up by minecarts}}
[[File:Minecart shake.gif|thumb|right|Minecart shaking due to being on top of an activator rail.]]
Mobs can ride minecarts, but cannot control them. Mobs cannot exit the minecart unless the minecart is destroyed or moves onto an active [[activator rail]].<ref>{{bug|MC-3866||Endermen, Tamed Wolves and Ocelots cannot teleport when in a Minecart|WAI}}</ref> However, {{in|bedrock}}, [[endermen]] are able to teleport out of minecarts.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-31761||Endermen can still teleport out of the boats and minecarts}}</ref>

A mob can ride a minecart when pushing by a moving minecart on rails {{in|java}} or when colliding with a minecart {{in|bedrock}}. It is easier to pick up a mob when a minecart is turning. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[armor stand]]s can also be picked up.

Most mobs can be picked up by minecarts, except [[ender dragon]]s, [[warden]]s, and [[wither]]s. {{IN|java}}, [[iron golem]]s cannot be picked up either.

A [[jockey]] riding a minecart automatically accelerates the minecart.<ref>{{bug|MC-71998||Minecarts that have passengers within them riding mobs can move automatically when not on rails}}</ref> Mobs in minecarts don't despawn, and don't count towards the mob cap.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-182897||Some passenger mobs don't count to the mob cap|WAI}}</ref>

=== Boats ===
{{exclusive|java|section=yes}}
{{UsesBug|section=yes}}
Due to the bug {{bug|MC-113871}}, [[boat]]s can be captured by minecarts. When a boat is placed in a minecart, the minecart travels faster on rails, approximately as fast as on powered rails. The movement in the boat minecart is glitchy and moving forward with the W key moves the cart backward relative to the player, and vice versa for moving backward with the S key. The minecart also moves on the rail-less ground at a crawling speed, but it does not float in the water despite being in a boat. 

Using this glitch can be far more resource-efficient since the boat minecart can move at the speed of a powered rail track on flat ground and on slopes. Another physics glitch with the boat minecart is the extreme reduction in friction when the minecart is on rails, which is similar to the lack of friction when a boat is riding on ice. This glitch can be done in Survival without cheats simply by pushing a minecart into a boat on the track. This bug is now patched.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Minecarts appear to float above the track, as their model has no wheels.
* If the player views their inventory while riding in a minecart, they appear sitting down in mid-air.
* The player can teleport to another minecart while sitting in a minecart by right-clicking a minecart in their range. This can be used as an elevator to quickly rise up when minecarts are placed on top of each other.
* If the sound is muted in the options while riding a minecart, and then turned back up, the minecart no longer makes noise in the client until the player exits the minecart.
* If a saddled pig is riding a minecart, the player can ride the pig. Doing so causes the minecart to be able to ride freely at the player's walking speed. It is unknown whether this is a glitch.
* It seems that hunger does not deplete while inactive in a minecart (at least in normal difficulty).
* A minecart (alongside rails and powered rails) are used as Steve's Side-Special in the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

A '''slimeball''' is a [[crafting]] ingredient commonly dropped by [[slime]]s, and can be sneezed out by [[panda]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Slimes ====
{{see also|Tutorials/Slime farming}}

If a [[slime]]'s size is 1, it drops 0–2 slimeballs when killed. The maximum number of slimeballs is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5 slimeballs with Looting III.

==== Pandas ====

Baby [[panda]]s have a {{frac|1|700}} chance of [[drop]]ping one slimeball when sneezing.

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
  |Slime Block
  |Output= Slimeball,9
  |type= Miscellaneous
}}

=== Trading ===

[[Wandering trader]]s sometimes offer to sell a slimeball for 4 [[emerald]]s.

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Breeding ===

Slimeballs can be used to breed [[frog]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of [[tadpole]]s by 10%. Both also follow a player holding a slimeball.

==Video==
{{Video note|This video is outdated, as slimeballs can now also be used to craft [[lead]]s and [[slime block]]s, breed [[frog]]s, and can now be obtained from baby [[panda]]s and [[wandering trader]]s.}}

The '''nether star''' is a rare item [[drops|dropped]] by the [[wither]] that is used solely to [[Crafting|craft]] [[beacon]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

The nether star can be obtained only by defeating the [[wither]] [[Mob#Boss mobs|boss]], which is created using [[soul sand]] and [[Head|wither skeleton skulls]]. One nether star is dropped each time; the dropped amount is not affected by the [[Looting]] enchantment. {{IN|java}}, nether stars dropped by withers take 10 minutes to despawn and are immune to explosions. {{IN|bedrock}}, nether star items never despawn, neither by time nor by explosions.

== Usage ==

The nether star has the same animated glint as [[enchanted]] items, [[potion]]s, and [[end crystal]]s.

A dropped nether star item cannot be destroyed by [[explosion]]s. However, it can still be destroyed by a falling [[anvil]],‌{{only|java}} [[fire]], [[lava]], [[cacti]], or [[the Void]].

It is used to [[Crafting|craft]] a [[beacon]].

'''Netherite ingots''' are items obtained from crafting [[netherite scrap]]s and [[gold ingot]]s together, as well as loot from [[bastion remnant]] loot chests. Unlike other items, they are immune to fire and [[lava]] damage. They are primarily used to upgrade [[diamond]] gear and craft [[lodestone]]s.

== Obtaining ==

Netherite ingots are obtained by crafting four [[netherite scrap]]s and four [[gold ingot]]s. It is a shapeless recipe, therefore the placement of the netherite scraps and gold ingots does not matter when crafting it.

=== Smithing ingredient ===
Netherite ingots can be used on a [[smithing table]] to upgrade diamond items to netherite items, as well as trim any armor piece. Data such as durability, enchantments, and custom names are preserved.

'''Trim color palette'''
The following color palettes are shown on the designs on trimmed armor:
* {{TrimPalette|netherite ingot}}
* {{TrimPalette|netherite ingot|darker=1}} (a darker color palette is used when a netherite armor piece is trimmed using a netherite ingot).

=== Repairing ===

Netherite ingots are the repair items for the netherite [[tier]] and [[armor material]], and thus can be used to [[item repair|repair]] the following items in an [[anvil]]:
* {{ItemLink|Netherite Helmet}}
* {{ItemLink|Netherite Chestplate}}

* {{ItemLink|Netherite Pickaxe}}
* {{ItemLink|Netherite Axe}}
* {{ItemLink|Netherite Shovel}}
* {{ItemLink|Netherite Hoe}}

=== Beacons ===

A netherite ingot could be used to select powers from a [[beacon]] instead of using an [[emerald]], [[gold ingot]], [[iron ingot]], or a [[diamond]]. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot. The [[gold]] option is more efficient than the netherite option because it consumes 3 fewer gold and no [[Netherite Scrap|netherite scrap]].

Trivia

  • According to Jeb, polar bears were added after his son, Björn, was born. Coincidentally, "björn" is Swedish for "bear".[1]
  • Unlike most other baby mobs, polar bear cubs have a unique sound effect that is not just a sped-up version of the regular polar bear sound effects; this is also reflected in subtitles.
