Polar bears are neutral mobs that live in icy biomes.

Spawning

Polar bears spawn above grass or ice in snowy tundra, snowy mountains, ice spikes, regular and deep frozen ocean biomes in groups of up to two at light level 7 or higher. If there is a group, the second polar bear is a cub.

They can also spawn in frozen rivers and legacy frozen oceans in Bedrock Edition.

Drops

An adult polar bear drops one of the following when killed:

  • 1–3 from player or tamed wolves kills.
  • There is a 34 chance of dropping 0 to 2 raw cod. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0 to 5 with Looting III.
  • There is a 14 chance of dropping 0 to 2 raw salmon. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0 to 5 with Looting III.

Dropped fish is always raw, unless the polar bear is on fire when killed.[verify]

Killing a baby polar bear yields no items or experience.

Behavior

Polar Bear attacking

A polar bear attacking.

Polar bears can exist in a passive or hostile state. The cubs are passive; adults are hostile when with cubs or provoked, they also attack if a player gets near them in Bedrock edition.

If a cub is attacked, all adults within a 41×21×41 area become hostile toward the player or mob, regardless of difficulty, although in Peaceful difficulty their attacks do zero damage to players.

Attacking an adult who is within a 16×8×16 area of a cub also provokes other adults within a 21×21×21 area of the attacked adult.‌[JE only]

Polar bears also attack foxes.

  • In Java Edition, adult polar bears attack any fox that stays near it for a while, hitting it once every few seconds. Cubs are more aggressive and attack foxes within 16 blocks.
  • In Bedrock Edition, adult polar bears attack foxes within 16 blocks. Cubs do not attack foxes.

Polar bears attack by rearing on their back legs and mauling down 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 bears cannot breed and cubs' growth cannot be sped up.

They do not take freezing damage from powder snow.

A '''pickaxe''' is a [[tools|tool]] required to mine [[ore]]s, [[rock|rocks]], rock-based blocks and metal-based [[block]]s quickly and obtain them as items. A pickaxe mines faster and can obtain more block types as items depending on the material it is made from.

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
Pickaxes are crafted using 2 [[stick]]s and 3 identical units of tool material.

}}

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

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level toolsmith [[Villager|villagers]] have a 25% chance to sell stone pickaxes for one [[emerald]], Journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell enchanted iron pickaxes for 3 emeralds, and master-level toolsmith villagers always sell enchanted diamond pickaxes for 13 emeralds.

{{IN|java}}, novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell a stone pickaxe for one emerald, journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron pickaxe for 7–22 emeralds, and a master-level toolsmith always sells an enchanted diamond pickaxe for 18–35 emeralds.

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

=== Villager gifts ===

{{IN|JE}}, toolsmith [[villager]]s throw stone pickaxes at players under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.

=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|BE}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s have a chance of dropping a damaged iron pickaxe when killed during a [[raid]]. The pickaxe has a 50% chance of being enchanted with random enchantment(s).

== Usage ==
=== Mining ===
A pickaxe is used to break stone and metal-based materials faster. Breaking a block with a pickaxe consumes one use (one durability point). No durability is consumed for blocks that break instantly. Pickaxes have different amounts of uses based on the type:
* Wooden: 60
* Stone: 132
* Iron: 251
* Golden: 33
* Diamond: 1562
* Netherite: 2032

Different qualities of pickaxe are required to successfully harvest certain ores and blocks. For example, while [[stone]] can be mined with any pickaxe, [[gold ore]] must be mined with an [[iron]], [[diamond]], or [[netherite]] pickaxe, or else the player harvests no ore. Different pickaxes also mine many materials at different speeds:

==== Speed ====
The following table shows the time it takes to break each type of block.
* A <span style="background-color:#FFC7CE;color:#9C0006;">red</span> background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe.
* A <span style="background-color:#FFFFDD;color:#8A7600;">yellow</span> background indicates that the block cannot be harvested with that type of pickaxe, but still drops something.
* A <span style="background-color:#C6EFCE;color:#006100;">green</span> background indicates that the block can be harvested with that type of pickaxe.
<!-- Table is sorted by hardness (mining time with diamond shows well), then by name -->

=== Weapon ===
Hitting a mob with a pickaxe is a stronger attack than using fists. Pickaxes lose 2 durability when used as a weapon.

==== Java Edition ====
Pickaxes have an attack speed modifier of −2.8, meaning they take about 0.83 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]]. All pickaxes have an attack speed of 1.2 hits per second. They deal different damage based on the type:

===Piglins===
If a {{EntityLink|Piglin}} see a golden pickaxe, 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 pickaxe.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

The Notched Axe also makes a return in the game's remake, [[wikipedia:The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth|''The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth'']].
*In the game [[wikipedia:Borderlands 2|''Borderlands 2'']], the player can find a secret area hidden away by blocks resembling Minecraft [[dirt]], also once inside the player can fight Creeper and the Mother Creeper to get rare Minecraft-related skins.
*In the game [[wikipedia:Octodad: Dadliest Catch|''Octodad: Dadliest Catch'']], the supermarket level has a "Mintcraft" display, an obvious parody of Minecraft, even including toy pickaxes and a creeper head.

A '''head''' or '''skull''' is a [[block]] modeled after the head of a specific [[entity]]. There are seven types of heads: [[player]] ([[Steve]]'s head by default), [[zombie]], [[skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[creeper]], [[piglin]], and [[dragon]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

A mob head can be mined using any item,<ref>{{bug|MC-192905||Heads & Skulls have no assigned tool}}</ref> and drops itself when broken.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mob Head|sprite=Heads}}
If a head is pushed by a [[piston]] or comes in contact with [[water]] or [[lava]], it breaks off as an [[item (entity)|item]].

When destroyed by an [[explosion]], the head ''always'' drops as an item.

===Natural generation===

Dragon heads generate on [[end ships]] found in [[End City|end cities]].

Skeleton skulls can generate in [[ancient cities]], which sometimes generate in the [[deep dark]].

=== Mob loot ===

A [[wither skeleton]] has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]]. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. {{IN|bedrock}}, the chance is increased by 2% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III.

[[Skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[zombie]], [[creeper]] and [[piglin]] heads are always dropped by the respective mob if it dies due to a [[charged creeper]]'s explosion. {{IN|bedrock}}, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however {{in|java}} only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>{{bug|MC-63534|||WAI}}</ref> If an [[ender dragon]] or a [[player]] is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head.<ref name=":0">{{bug|MC-132933|||WAI}}</ref>

==Usage ==

===Decoration===

Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[sign]]s. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.

When placed and powered by redstone, the piglin and dragon heads plays an animation. The piglin head flaps its ears (2 times per second for the right ear and 2.5 times per second for the left ear) while the dragon head opens and closes its mouth repeatedly (2 times per second). The same animation occurs when worn by a (horizontally) moving player, zombie, skeleton, or [[armor stand]] (note: the animation does not play if the <code>NoGravity</code> tag is set to 1)

=== Wearing ===
{{See also|#Renders}}

The player can wear heads, similarly to [[pumpkin]]s or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[skin]].

====Disguise====

Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range for [[skeleton]]s (but not [[wither skeleton]]s), [[creeper]]s, [[zombie]]s, and [[piglin]]s to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from [[sneaking]] and from the [[Invisibility]] status effect.

{{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any mob head or carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[map]].

=== Withers===
{{FakeImage|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Sand|www|sss| s }}|Wither build configuration}}

[[Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, and putting 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical. The last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither, by placing the final skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.

===Dispensers===
A [[dispenser]] can equip a mob head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

[[Dispenser]]s can also complete the construction of a wither.

=== Crafting ingredient===

  |Output= Matching Firework Star
  |description=Forms Creeper shape

===Enchantments===

Mob heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]].
{| class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right"
|+
!Name
!Max Level
![[Enchanting|Method]]
|-
|[[Curse of Binding]]
|I
|{{Inventory slot|Anvil}}
|-
|[[Curse of Vanishing]]
|I
|{{Inventory slot|Anvil}}
|-
|}

=== Note blocks ===
Placing a head above a [[note block]] causes the note block to play the corresponding mob's {{cd|ambient}} sound when activated. The only exception is the creeper head; as creepers don't make {{cd|ambient}} sounds, the note block plays the {{cd|primed}} (hissing) sound instead.

The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.

==Player skins==
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
Human heads have an extra usage for map makers, they can be given [[Chunk format#Entity Format|NBT data]] so that they appear with the skin of any ''Minecraft'' account. This means if a player knows that a specific account has a head that is desired to display, the NBT data can be edited to make it appear.

The command to give the player a head with the skin of another player is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"<''PlayerName''>"} }}. Commonly, this kind of head is called a custom head. 

Another command to give the player a head with another player's skin is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Id:"<''PlayerUUID''>",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"<''SkinURL''>"}]} } } }}. ''SkinURL'' is a string encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64] containing the URL of the player's skin.<ref>Example: {"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"<nowiki>http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/292009a4925b58f02c77dadc3ecef07ea4c7472f64e0fdc32ce5522489362680"}}}</ref> A player head saves the skin of the player from the time it was created, meaning if the player changes their skin, the head still displays the original texture.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|464414369452142592|Skulls are a snapshot of the skin as it was made; just change your skin, make a skull, and change your skin back. That's intended behaviour.|May 8, 2014}}</ref> This kind of head is generally called a custom head.

Note that it is therefore necessary to be connected to the internet to load the texture of a skin, whatever the property used.
When they are loaded for the first time by the client, the skins textures are cached in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolders)\(files)}}.
If the client does not have access to the internet when it first loads, the player's head displays a regular head (Steve's skin) which is also cached.
Afterwards, even if the client reconnects to the internet, in order to display the skin correctly, it is necessary to clear the cache manually by deleting the recently created files in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolder)}}, then restarting the game.

===Marc's Head Format ===
[[File:Allmobheads.png|thumb|right|Most of the MHF mob heads provided.]]

{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}

[[Marc Watson]] created a number of accounts with specific skins so map makers could use common heads without the risk of someone changing their skins.<ref>{{reddit|1m0itx/twitter_marc_irl_mapmakers_would_it_be_useful|cc4m1cq|I'm here to make it so that people don't have to worry about having a consistent account whose skin might change.|Marc_IRL|September 9, 2013}}</ref> Nowadays, since heads do not update the skin if a player changes their skin, this is not something map-makers need to worry about, though these skins are still useful. These accounts have names in the format <code>MHF_<''Name''></code>, for example <code>MHF_PigZombie</code> is the name of a ''Minecraft'' user with a [[zombified piglin]] head. MHF stands for "Marc's Head Format".<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|377453670410891264|head format. I needed to pick a prefix that was short and not already taken by other usernames.|September 10, 2013}}</ref> There are also a few blocks and "bonus" heads, for more variety. These player heads have not been updated in compliance with the [[Texture Update]], and are outdated.

Because these are names of player accounts, these heads are obtained or placed using the <code>SkullOwner</code> tag, for instance: {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"MHF_''<Name>''"}<nowiki />}}.

The following names/heads have been made available:<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|542330244473311232|For those following the MHF list, I have presents for you. Full list of accounts I've made: http://pastebin.com/5mug6EBu|December 9, 2014}}</ref>

==Issues==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

* Heads do not have their own textures and take their textures from other objects.
* When [[breaking]] any head, the particle effect of breaking it is the same as [[soul sand]].
* Despite there being a default Steve head, heads for the other protagonist skins cannot be obtained without using custom names.
* {{IN|be}}, the skull variant for the item is stored under the {{cd|damage}} component, normally used for items with [[durability]].

=== Mining ===
Copper ore and deepslate copper ore mined with a [[stone pickaxe]] or better drops 2–5 units of raw copper. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop extra raw copper, allowing for a maximum of 20 units per ore block with Fortune III, or an average of 7.7 units of raw copper per ore block. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops the ore block instead.

'''Drinks''' are a narrow class of consumable [[item]]s that can be ingested by the player in an extremely similar manner to [[food]]. However, drinks are not encountered quite as commonly as food is, and they are not nearly as integral to survival gameplay. Drinks can generally be distinguished from food from the sounds they make upon consumption, the lack of particles emitted by them, and the fact that they leave behind an empty container after consumption. They also do not require the hunger bar to be depleted, and do not affect hunger or saturation values upon use (with the exception of [[honey bottle]]s).

Drinks are drunk by holding {{control|use item}} while having the drink [[item]] selected in the hotbar or in the off hand.

'''Water''' is a [[fluid]] that naturally generates abundantly in the [[Overworld]].

== Obtaining ==
Water blocks do not exist as items,{{only|java}} but water can be collected by using a [[bucket]] on a water source block or a full water [[cauldron]], creating a [[water bucket]].

{{IN|BE}}, it may be obtained as an item via inventory editing or add-ons.

=== Natural generation ===
Water naturally generates in the [[Overworld]] to form [[ocean]]s, [[river]]s and [[spring]]s. The water level is at [[altitude|layer 63]] near oceans and rivers, but changes depending on location due to the [[aquifer]] system, filling some carvers, noise caves and canyons with water at different levels. Water also generates as small puddles on the floor next to [[dripstone cluster]]s, and as clay pools on the floor of [[lush caves]].

Water also generates in [[village]]s, [[desert well]]s, [[stronghold]]s, [[woodland mansion]]s, [[ancient city|ancient cities]] and [[ocean monument]]s. 

Water never generates in [[the Nether]] and instantly disappears if placed there with a water bucket. However, water can exist in the Nether in a [[cauldron]]. Water can also be placed in the Nether using [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}} and {{cmd|fill}}. Although it does not naturally generate there, water can be placed and function normally in [[the End]].

{{IN|be}}, water also generates as part of [[ocean ruins]] with loot [[chest]]s, but only two water blocks generate: 
* One water block generates inside the loot chest, making it a [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] loot chest.
* The other water block generates on top of the loot chest.
These water blocks generate even if the ruin is located on the surface.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-36793}}</ref> This is not the case in {{el|je}}; if an underwater ruin generates on the surface, no water generates.<ref>{{bug|MC-136156}}</ref> This also happens with [[shipwreck]]s.

Water spends most of its time as stationary, rather than flowing – regardless of its level, or whether it contains a current downward or to the side. When specifically triggered by a block update, water changes to 'flowing', updates its level, then changes back to stationary. Water springs are generated as flowing, and oceans, and rivers are generated as stationary. This happens before most types of generated structure are created, and the main cause of water "glitches" is that generated structures do not trigger a block update to let water flow into them.

== Usage ==
=== Appearance ===
Water uses a translucent animated texture that is tinted differently in different biomes. {{IN|Java}}, water in cauldrons is completely opaque.<ref>{{bug|MC-13187}}</ref>

Unlike other translucent blocks such as [[ice]], [[stained glass]] and [[tinted glass]], water shows the opposite sides of its external planes when viewed from within and from outside.<ref>{{bug|MC-202578|||WAI}}</ref> However, it applies only to the top plane and four side planes; the bottom face is always unseen from above.<ref>{{bug|MC-190053}}</ref>

=== Swimming ===
{{main|Swimming}}

The button for {{control|swim|text=swimming}} is the same as the button for jumping; non-swimming players and mobs sink slowly in water. Holding the swim button raises the player through the water, and when the surface is reached, the player bobs up and down. The {{control|crouch}} button can be used to sink faster. The {{control|sprint}} button can be used to put the player in "swim mode" when the player is completely submerged in water. When in swim mode, the player is horizontal and one block high. The player has an arm-waving animation when viewed in third person or by other players.

Swimming in water is considerably slower against currents (see [[#Current|Current]] below), but faster when going with the current.

Most mobs that can stand can also swim any time they are in water, except for [[iron golem]]s, [[piglin]]s, [[hoglin]]s, [[strider]]s, [[piglin brute]]s and undead mobs. This can lead to drowning if the water is falling from above.

Water of any depth prevents any entity, including the player, from sustaining falling damage if they fall into it, regardless of the distance fallen.

Being inside of water also imparts a [[fog]] effect, tinted accordingly.

=== Spreading ===
{{Main|Fluid#Spread}}
[[File:Water spread v1-13.png|300px|right|An image showing water's spreading distance]]
Water spreads horizontally and downward into nearby [[air]] blocks. Water can spread downward infinitely until stopped by a block, and 7 blocks horizontally from a source block on a flat surface. Water spreads at a rate of 1 block every 5 game ticks, or 4 blocks per second.

When spreading horizontally, a weight is assigned to every direction water can flow. For each direction, this weight is initially set to 1000. Then, for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. Finally, water spreads in the directions with the lowest flow weight.

Spreading water extinguishes [[fire]] and washes away certain types of items or placed blocks, causing them to drop as items and then carrying them along in the flow until the edge of the spread. Affected items include [[plant]]s (except trees), [[snow]], [[torch]]es, [[carpet]]s, [[redstone dust]] and some other redstone components, [[cobweb]], [[end rod]]s, [[head]]s, and [[flower pot]]s.

=== Source blocks ===
{{anchor|Water Spawner}} <!-- Compatibility anchor -->
{{about|the behavior and creation of source units of water|the removed block that created water sources|Water Spawner|section=1}}
A water source block is created from a flowing block that is horizontally adjacent to two or more other source blocks, and sitting on top of a solid block or another water source block. This allows water spawners to exist, in which a new source block immediately forms in the space left by removing a source block with a [[bucket]]. Pools of still water can be created by placing water source blocks in a confined area.

Water spawners can be constructed by arranging for two source blocks to flow into a third block. Each of the examples below require two source blocks, each on opposite ends of the hole, to create a renewable water source block in between.

While water source blocks only generate adjacent to solid blocks, they do not require a solid block to support them. Removing all adjacent blocks to a water source block only causes it to remain floating in the air.

{{IN|java}}, the formation of new water sources blocks can be disabled when the [[game rule]] {{cd|waterSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|false}}.

2x2 water source.png|2x2 water spawner (every corner is renewable)
3x1 water source.png|3x1 water spawner (middle water block is renewable)
L-shaped water source.png|L-shaped water spawner (corner water block is renewable)
</gallery>

A [[dispenser]] loaded with a filled [[bucket]] places a water source block in an empty block in front of it when activated. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it sucks the source into the bucket when activated.

In snowy [[biome]]s, water source blocks have a chance to turn into [[ice]] if directly under the sky. Ice blocks under brighter light levels melt back into water source blocks (except in [[the Nether]]). Ice reverts to water when broken, but only if there is a solid block under it.

=== Current ===
The current in a water block determines both the direction it appears to flow and the direction an [[entity]] such as a player or [[boat]] is pushed from that block.

Water with a current pushes players and [[mob]]s at a speed of about 1.39 meters per second, or 25 blocks every 18 seconds. Players that are in creative flying mode don’t get pushed.{{only|je}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-84592}}</ref>

The horizontal current in a water block is based on a vector sum of the flows to and from that block from its four horizontal neighbors. For example, if a block receives water from the north and sends it both south and east, but borders a solid block on its west edge, then a south-southeast current exits from that block, because 2 southward flows (in and out) are combined with 1 eastward flow (out). Thus, 16 horizontal directions are possible. If a branch in a channel is 2 blocks wide at its entrance, then entities float into it rather than continuing in a straight line.

Water blocks can create a downward current. A downward current in a water block is caused by the block below it. Most blocks that do not have a solid upper face cause downward current on above water blocks. Also, ice and falling water blocks (blocks created by spreading downward) cause downward current on the water block above. Falling water blocks have a downward current by default.

=== Light ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, every block of water reduces [[light]] by 1 extra level (in addition to the normal fading-out of light). {{IN|java}}, water does not cause any additional decrease for block light, but diffuses sky light, causing the light to fade with depth. Underwater visibility changes depending on the biome the player is in. The [[Night Vision]] and [[Conduit Power]] effects increase underwater visibility.

=== Color ===
Water has several colors, depending on the biome.

===Water and lava===
{{Main|Fluid#Mixing}}

Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. If water touches a lava source, the lava source turns to obsidian. If both touch each other while flowing, cobblestone is made and no sources are removed, and if lava flows downward onto water, the water turns to stone.

===Interactions with mobs===
====Direct contact====

Water damages [[endermen]], [[snow golem]]s, [[Strider|striders]] and [[blaze]]s, at a rate of {{hp|1}} per half second. If water comes into contact with a [[shulker]] or an [[enderman]], the mob teleports away.

====Suffocation====
{{Main|Damage#Suffocation in water}}

Players and mobs (except [[aquatic mob]]s, [[undead mob]]s and [[iron golem]]s) have a breath meter that lasts 15 seconds. After they run out of breath, they take {{hp|2}} suffocation damage every second until they die, surface, or enter [[bubble column]]s.

[[Dolphin]]s are a special case in drowning: they take suffocation damage when underwater for about 4 minutes, but also take suffocation damage when in air for about 2 minutes.

Each level of the [[Respiration]] enchantment adds 15 seconds to the breath meter and grants an x/(x+1) chance (where x is the Respiration level) of not taking damage after that time: 30 seconds and an average {{hp|1}}/second with Respiration I, 45 seconds and an average of {{frac|2|3}} damage/second with Respiration II, and 60 seconds and an average of {{frac|1|2}} damage/second with Respiration III.

If a [[husk]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually becomes a [[zombie]]. If a [[zombie]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually transforms into a [[drowned]].

=== Slower mining speed===
Players with their head underwater require 5 times the normal amount of time to mine blocks while standing on the ground, or 25 times while not on the ground. If a player wears a helmet with the [[Aqua Affinity]] enchantment, then underwater mining speed while standing on the ground is the same as on land, and 5 times slower if not standing on the ground.

===Explosions===
Water does not prevent explosions from activating. Water has a high blast resistance, causing it to absorb any normal blasts, with the exception of explosions from [[underwater TNT]].

===Hardening concrete powder ===
When water comes into contact with [[concrete powder]], the powder hardens into solid [[concrete]].

===Sponges===
When a dry [[sponge]] comes into contact with a water source or flowing block, it becomes a wet [[sponge]], absorbing all water within 3 to 5 blocks in all directions. [[Kelp]] and [[lily pad]]s within the absorbed water blocks are destroyed and drop as items, and [[seagrass]] is destroyed without dropping anything. Mobs that take damage out of water are affected as a side-effect. 

Sponges do not absorb water from [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] blocks, nor water that comes into contact by flowing back in from outside the area of absorption. For instance, placing a sponge 4 or more blocks from a single water source removes the flowing water in the area of effect, but as the flow from the source resumes it is not affected by the wet sponge.

A sponge instantly absorbs nearby water when it is placed next to water or when water comes into contact with it (by being placed next to the sponge, or by flowing toward it). A sponge absorbs [[water]] around itself (water source blocks or flowing water) out to a [[taxicab distance]] of 7 in all directions (including up and down), but won't absorb more than 65 blocks of water (water closest to the sponge is absorbed first). The absorption propagates only from water to water and does not "jump over" non-water blocks (including air).

===Dripping===
[[File:WaterDropletsExample.png|thumb|Dripping water.]]
Water above a non-transparent block (except for stairs, fences, or slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. If a block of [[Pointed Dripstone|pointed dripstone]] hangs under any block directly beneath a water source, the drips can slowly fill up a [[cauldron]] placed underneath. Without the dripstone, a cauldron does not fill.

===Vertical transport===
[[Bubble column]]s are created by placing magma blocks or [[soul sand]] under water. These can be used to transport [[mobs]] or items quickly vertically.

==Issues==
{{Issue list}}

==Trivia==
*The texture subtly overlaid on the screen when underwater is that of the original water texture from 0.0.12a.
**The outdatedness of this texture is not considered a bug or oversight, unlike many other outdated textures.<ref>{{bug|MC-241000|||Invalid}}</ref>
**This texture is particularly difficult to notice due to its extreme transparency,<ref>{{bug|MC-128337}}</ref> as well as the fact that other blocks likely make the scene visually noisy enough to further obscure it under most conditions.
* While underwater, the player's FOV (field of vision) is lowered by 10 to simulate light {{w|refraction}}. This can be disabled via the "FOV Effects" [[option]].
*If a player or mob with the [[Levitation]] effect touches water, the effect is completely negated.<ref>{{bug|MC-83369}}</ref>

'''Smithing templates''' are items used in [[Smithing Table|smithing tables]] to alter [[Tool|tools]] and [[armor]]. They are consumed when used, but can be [[Crafting|duplicated]] using an existing template, its material and [[Diamond|diamonds]].

The sixteen '''armor trim smithing templates''' are found in a variety of [[Generated structures|structures]], and are used to apply various decorative trims (dependent on the variant) to armor using certain minerals.

'''Netherite upgrade smithing templates''' are required to upgrade diamond equipment with [[Netherite Ingot|netherite]]. They are only found in [[Bastion Remnant|bastion remnants]], but are guaranteed only in [[:en:Bastion_Remnant#Treasure_room|treasure rooms]].

== Obtaining ==
Smithing templates can be found in various [[Generated structures|structures]] and can be duplicated by using seven diamonds and a block based on what the template is.

{{IN|bedrock}}, spire, tide, and dune armor trims can be duplicated with more blocks than {{in|java}}. In addition to the normal blocks, Tide armor trims can be duplicated using Prismarine Bricks or Dark Prismarine, dune armor trims can be duplicated with smooth sandstone, cut sandstone, or chiseled sandstone, and spire armor trims can be duplicated with purpur pillars.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-172711||Tide, Spire, and Dune Armor Trims can be crafted from more blocks than in Java Edition}}</ref>

=== Mob loot ===
[[Elder guardian]]s have a 20% chance to drop 1 tide armor trim upon death. [[Looting]] doesn't affect this percentage, and the elder guardian doesn't need to be killed by a player in order for the trim to drop.

=== Smithing ingredient ===
Smithing templates are used at a [[smithing table]]. Netherite upgrade smithing templates are used to upgrade diamond gear into netherite gear by using a netherite upgrade, a piece of diamond gear, and a [[netherite ingot]].

Armor trim smithing templates are used to customize an armor piece's appearance by using a smithing template, an armor piece, and an ingot or crystal ([[emerald]], [[redstone dust]], [[lapis lazuli]], [[amethyst shard]], [[nether quartz]], [[netherite ingot]], [[diamond]], [[gold ingot]], [[iron ingot]], or [[copper ingot]]). Including all dyed leather armor colors and regular armor, there are ≈3.679x10<sup>9</sup> different possible armor pieces<!--5713438 leather colors, plus the 4 other armor materials = 5713442. 5713442 * 161 (the 160 trim combos (16 trims, 10 materials) + untrimmed) = 919864162. 919864162 * 4 (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) = 3679456648 ≈ 3.679x10^9-->, and 7.16x10<sup>35</sup> <!--919864162 + 1 (no armor in that slot) = 919864163. 919864163^4 = 715969952015045562662444917041515536 ≈ 7.16x10^35 total possible armor combinations-->total possible armor combinations excluding enchantments and the player not wearing armor.

Already trimmed armor can be trimmed again by applying another template on it; the old trim pattern is overwritten in the process.<ref>{{bug|MC-262538||When combining armor trims the new trim deletes the old one|WAI}}</ref> Therefore, one piece of armor cannot possess multiple trims at the same time.

Most armor trims cover a small portion of the armor piece's surface with the trim material, except for the silence armor trim, which allows the trim material to cover a majority of the armor piece's surface.

All of the trims are purely decorative, and don't impact gameplay or strength of the armor they are applied to in any way. [[Piglin]]s do not pick up any gold-trimmed armor pieces, and they are not pacified by players wearing even a full set of gold-trimmed armor (unless, of course, the armor pieces in question are themselves golden), and netherite-trimmed armor pieces can still be burned by [[fire]].

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Smithing templates were named "Smithing Blueprints" in the prototype but was changed because the word "blueprint" sounded modern and technical.<ref>{{ytl|klP9SrJFDU8|Minecraft 1.20: Armor Trims - What Do They Mean?|Minecraft|May 4, 2023|t=98}}</ref>
* When Mojang developer Gnembon was working on armor trims, he accidentally messed up their rendering, making them jet through the player's body in a weird fashion, similar to what appears in {{w|Salvador Dalí}}'s paintings where a hand might poke through a forehead.<ref>{{ytl|ghQODkq4ITI|Mojang Dev Comes To Hermitcraft! (Mojang Developer Gnembom Interview)|GoodVodsWithScar|June 23, 2023|t=1980}}</ref>
* Some of the armor trims feature patterns based on a [[mob]] or [[block]] that is found in the same [[Generated structures|structure]] as the corresponding smithing template.<ref name=":0">"Some of the armor trims reflect the place where you found the template, for example bastions contain a piglin-inspired trim."-[[Sofia Dankis]]-{{Mcnet|armor-trims-coming-minecraft-1-20|Armor Trims Coming to Minecraft 1.20|January 24, 2023}}</ref>
** The spire armor trim resembles a [[shulker]].
** The vex armor trim resembles an [[evoker]]. As an item in the [[inventory]], it resembles the wing or the vein texture of a [[vex]].
** The wild armor trim has moss growing on 3 of its corners.
** The coast armor trim appears to have barnacles attached to it.
** The ward armor trim, as an item in the inventory, resembles the faces inside a [[warden]]'s chest.
** The silence armor trim appears to have sculk creeping onto / infecting it.
** The tide armor trim resembles [[Prismarine|prismarine bricks]].
** The snout armor trim resembles a [[piglin]]<ref name=":0" />.
** The rib armor trim resembles a [[wither skeleton]].
** The eye armor trim resembles an [[eye of ender]]. There are also two eyes on the head part of the armor trim that resemble those of an [[enderman]].
* ''Netherite upgrade smithing template'' (35 characters with "_" and 32 characters without "_") and ''sentry armor trim smithing template'' (35 characters with "_" and 31 characters without "_") are the current longest name for item ID, while ''[[polished blackstone pressure plate]]'' and ''[[cracked polished blackstone bricks]]'' have 34 characters with "_" and 31 characters without "_".
* The silence armor trim is the rarest trim, due to being found in ancient cities in the deep dark, and having only a 1.2% chance to be per chest.
* When [[lapis lazuli]] is used as trim material, it is called "Lapis" instead of its full name "Lapis Lazuli"; this is the only instance of the abbreviation "Lapis" being used in-game.<ref>{{bug|MC-262486|||WAI}}</ref>

'''Ghast tears''' are items [[Drops|dropped]] by [[ghast]]s. They can be used to make potions of [[Regeneration]] and [[end crystal]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
[[Ghast]]s drop 0–1 ghast tears. [[Looting]] increases the maximum ghast tears dropped by one per level, for a maximum of 4 ghast tears with Looting III. Looting also works when knocking back a [[fireball]] with an enchanted item.

== Usage ==

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.

'''Lava''' is a light-emitting [[fluid]] that causes fire [[damage]], mostly found in the [[altitude|lower reaches]] of the [[Overworld]] and [[the Nether]].

== Obtaining ==
Lava blocks do not exist as items (at least {{in|java}}), but can be retrieved with a [[Lava Bucket|bucket]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they may be obtained as an item via glitches (in old versions), add-ons or inventory editing.

Lava may be obtained [[renewable resource|renewably]] from [[cauldron]]s, as [[pointed dripstone]] with a lava source above it can slowly fill a cauldron with lava.

=== Natural generation ===
During world generation, lava replaces [[air]] blocks generated in [[cave]]s and [[canyon]]s between Y=-55 and Y=-63. [[Aquifer]]s are sometimes filled with lava below Y=0. Lava does not replace air blocks inside [[mineshaft]]s, [[monster room]]s, [[amethyst geode]]s, or [[stronghold]]s.

Lava can also occur as lava flows from a single [[spring]] block, pouring down walls into pools. The spring block can be on the side of a cave, ravine, mineshaft, or stone cliff above ground.

Lava also generates as small [[lava lake]]s, which can be found above Y=0 within any [[biome]].

Two blocks of lava can also be found in plains, snowy plains, and desert [[village]] weaponsmith buildings, or one source in savanna village weaponsmith buildings.

Fifteen blocks of lava can be found in the [[end portal]] room of a [[stronghold]]: 3 along each side wall, and 9 below the portal frame.

Lava also generates in [[woodland mansion]]s: two blocks of lava generate in the "blacksmith room", and 25 blocks of lava generate in a secret "lava room".

In [[the Nether]], lava is more common than [[water]] in the [[Overworld]]. [[Terrain features#Lava sea|Seas of lava]] occur, with sea level at y-level 32, about a quarter of the total height of the Nether (as the usable space in the Nether is 128 blocks tall). They can extend down to about y-level 19-22. Lava also randomly appears [[Spring#Hidden lava|in single blocks]] inside [[netherrack]] formations. Lava is also generated as a single source in well rooms in [[nether fortress]]es. There are also large pockets of lava generated under y-19 and can reach all the way down to bedrock level. These pockets are generally over 12 blocks in height and often connect to a large lava lake on y-32; the size of these pockets in 1.18 can range from the size of a singular pre-1.18 ravine to multiple ravines combined.

Lava generates as [[delta]] shapes, which can be found commonly in the [[basalt deltas]] biome. Lava also generates in [[ruined portal]]s and [[bastion remnant]]s.

=== Post-generation ===
Unlike [[Water#Source blocks|water source blocks]], new lava source blocks cannot be created in a space by two or more adjacent source blocks. However {{in|Java}}, if the [[game rule]] {{cd|lavaSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|true}}, new lava source blocks can form in a similar way to water source blocks.

== Usage ==
=== Fuel ===
When used in a [[furnace]], a bucket of lava lasts 1000 seconds (100 items).

=== Burning ===
[[File:Inside Lava.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava.]]
[[File:Under lava fire resistance.png|thumb|What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance {{in|java}}.]]

Most [[entity|entities]] take {{hp|4}} damage every half-second while in contact with lava, and are set on [[fire]]. An entity/player in lava will also have its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} set to 300, setting it on fire for 15 seconds. This timer is reset to 300 every tick that the victim spends in lava, so it will only start counting down once the victim leaves the lava. Once the victim does exit the lava source, it will burn for just under 15 seconds, taking fire damage 14 times. This is due to the fact that for the first tick outside of lava, its {{code|remainingFireTicks}} decrease to 299, and entities take fire damage when {{code|remainingFireTicks}} is a multiple of 20 and greater than 0. If the victim touches water or [[rain]] falls on it, the fire is extinguished, but the lava continues to damage them directly.

In addition, a dense [[fog]] effect will be applied for players under lava to obscure vision. This can be slightly mitigated via the [[Fire Resistance]] effect.

An entity/player moving in lava has their horizontal movement speed reduced by 50% and their vertical movement speed reduced by 20%.

{{IN|bedrock}}, a player with the Fire Resistance effect or a total [[Fire Protection]] of 7 or higher does not catch fire. 

[[Vex]]es, [[zoglin]]s, Nether [[mob]]s (excluding [[piglin]]s and [[hoglin]]s), [[Wither|withers]], [[Warden|wardens]], and players or mobs affected by the [[Fire Resistance]] effect are not damaged when touching lava. 

The embers or fireballs that fly out of lava are purely decorative and do not cause fires or damage to entities. When rain falls on lava, the black ember particles appear more frequently.

A player in lava lasts a few seconds before dying:

==== ''Java Edition'' ====
* 2.5 seconds with no armor
* 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments
* 4 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments
* 4.5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments
* 5.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments
* 10.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments
* 11 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments

==== Bedrock Edition====
* 2.5 seconds with no armor
* 3.5 seconds with full leather armor, no enchantments
* 4.5 seconds with full gold armor, no enchantments
* 5 seconds with full chain armor, no enchantments
* 6.5 seconds with full iron armor, no enchantments
* 12.5 seconds with full diamond armor, no enchantments
* 12.5 seconds with full netherite armor, no enchantments
If the player is wearing armor enchanted with [[Fire Protection]], they can last even longer. With the maximum bonus, the damage is small enough that the natural healing from a full hunger bar can outpace it {{only|JE|short=1}}, so a player could survive indefinitely as long as they have food and their armor holds up (non-netherite armor is damaged by lava). This maximum bonus can be obtained by wearing 2 pieces of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 1 with [[Protection|Protection IV]], or 1 piece of armor with [[Fire Protection|Fire Protection IV]] and 3 with [[Protection|Protection IV]].

==== Fire spread ====
Lava can cause fires by turning air blocks to fire blocks.

In order for air above lava to turn to fire, a block adjacent to the air has to be [[Fire#Burning blocks|flammable]], or one of the wood-constructed [[Fire#Non-flammable blocks|non-flammable]] blocks. Since catching fire depends on air blocks, even torches or lava itself can prevent a flammable block from catching fire.  Additionally, not all flammable or wood-constructed blocks can be ignited by lava.

The lava of any depth can start fires this way, whether or not it appears to have a current.

Additional conditions must be met, depending on the edition of Minecraft.

===== Java Edition =====
{{FakeImage|align=right|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|L=lava|w=Oak Planks|p=Orange Stained Glass|s=Light Gray Stained Glass|wwwwwwwww|wwsssssww|wspppppsw|wwspppsww|wwwsLswww|wwwwwwwww}}|Example for JE. The orange area represents areas<br>where air could catch flame if the<br>gray and orange areas contain<br>flammable blocks. The wood<br>is all at a safe distance.
}}

Air block must be in a 3×1×3 area right above the lava or in a 5×1×5 2 blocks above the lava.

Note that an air block in the 5x1x5 area will not catch on fire if the 3x1x3 area is completely filled, even if the latter is filled with flammable blocks.

===== Bedrock Edition =====
The block to be set on fire must be in a 3×3×3 cube centered on a lava block, above which there must be either air or an ignitable block.

=== Flow ===
{{See also|Fluid}}

Lava flows from "source blocks". Most streams or "lava-falls" come from a single source block, but lava lakes (including the "flood lava" in the bottom 10 layers) are composed entirely of source blocks. A source block can be captured only with a [[lava bucket|bucket]].

In the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], lava travels 3 blocks in any horizontal direction from a source block. Lava flows far more slowly than water (1 block every 30 game ticks, or 1.5 seconds), and sourceless lava flows linger for a short time more. In [[the Nether]], lava travels 7 blocks horizontally and spreads 1 block every 10 game ticks, or 2 blocks per second, which is half the speed as water in the Overworld. In all dimensions, lava spreading uses the same mechanic as water: for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. (This can result in lava flows turning toward dropoffs that they cannot reach in the Overworld and the End.)

Flowing lava destroys the following in its path: [[sapling]]s, [[cobweb]], [[tall grass]], [[dead bush]], [[wheat]], [[flower]]s, [[mushroom]]s, [[snow]] on ground (but snow blocks are immune), [[lily pad]]s, [[vines]], [[lever]]s, [[button]]s, all three types of [[torch]]es, [[redstone]], [[redstone repeater|repeaters]], [[end rod]]s, and [[rail]]s. [[Sugar cane]]s hold back lava, but disappear if the sugar cane's water source is destroyed by the lava. Lava also slows down entities, including those that are normally immune to lava damage.

Using redstone wire, a one-block lava flow can be redirected by supplying power to the source block, which causes it to reset the flow toward the now-nearest terrain depression. It cannot, however, be reversed. This re-calculation is made because of the redstone wire when toggled changes the block from redstone (on) to redstone (off). Whenever a block updates on any side of the lava, the lava re-calculates where to flow, but does not cut off its current direction of flow. In Bedrock Edition using the /setblock command can be used to create stationary lava without the use of barriers. 

Flowing lava can push entities.

=== Lava and water ===
{{Main|Fluid#Mixing}}

Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. Lava can also generate basalt when above soul soil and touching blue ice.

=== Light source ===

Lava blocks emit a [[light]] level of 15.

=== Other ===
[[File:LavaDropletsExample.png|thumb|If there is lava flowing above a [[block]], the lava seeps through.]]

Lava above a non-transparent block (does ''not'' include stairs, fences, and slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. These droplets do not do anything other than warn the player that a deluge of lava lies above that block. The particles function identically to their water counterparts, except that they drip slower.

Flowing lava can set off tripwires because it breaks placed string. Lava triggers a tripwire only once.

Any [[item (entity)|item]] dropped into lava is immediately destroyed, except for [[netherite]]-related items. [[Lodestone|Lodestones]], however, can be destroyed by lava despite containing netherite.<ref>{{bug|MC-176618|||WAI}}</ref>

Lava can be placed in an empty [[cauldron]].

If lava is above a non-transparent block supporting [[pointed dripstone]], dripping particles are created on the end. These can fill cauldrons with lava.

== Farming ==
{{main|Tutorials/Lava farming}}
Lava farms can be created by placing a lava source block on top of a solid block and a [[pointed dripstone]] and a [[cauldron]] underneath.

Lava spends most of its time as stationary, rather than 'flowing' – regardless of its level, or whether it contains a current downward or to the side.  When specifically triggered by a block update, lava changes to 'flowing', update its level, then change back to stationary.  Lava springs are generated as flowing, and lava lakes are generated as stationary.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* A player with [[Fire Resistance]] can swim in lava without taking damage, although the swimming speed does not become faster.
* A player cannot sprint-swim in lava.
* An arrow catches fire when shot into flowing lava, but not still lava.
* [[Water]] flows into lava-occupied blocks as though it were empty space, and vice versa.
* Although lava is a fluid, it is not possible to drown in lava. This applies to all mobs. However, it is still possible to suffocate in lava. This applies to almost every mob.{{only|bedrock}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-17073}}</ref>
* A player sleeping in a bed cannot be damaged by lava.
* If the lava is changed to be transparent via a [[resource pack]], it does not become transparent.
* {{IN|bedrock}}, lava does not deactivate [[elytra]] like [[water]] does.
* Despite flowing identically to water while in [[the Nether]], it was not possible to create an infinite spring of lava before [[Java Edition 1.19.3|1.19.3]].
** Before Lava source conversion was implemented, the ''Minecraft: Combat Handbook'' (2014) stated the possibility to create infinite sources of lava by simply creating a cross shape with 4 nether bricks and placing lava in the middle. As expected, this turned out to be false, as confirmed by [[Nathan Adams|Dinnerbone]].<ref>[[bugtracker:MC-71088|MC-71088]]</ref>
* Geologically, lava in the Overworld is consistent with [[wikipedia:Felsic lava|felsic lava]], and lava in the Nether is consistent with [[wikipedia:mafic lava|mafic lava]]. Felsic lava is slow, sticky, and does not run as far as mafic lava, which is relatively thin and runny.
* When lava source conversion was implemented, any text where lava was supposed to be said "lave" instead.
** A splash text now says "Made with 'lave'".

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
|Name Tag
|Name, 16; Tag, 16
|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}}.

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.

{{for|other kinds of boats|Boat (disambiguation)}}
A '''boat''' is a drivable vehicle [[entity]] used primarily for fast transport of players and passenger mobs over bodies of water. '''Bamboo rafts''' look different, but function almost identically to other boats.

== Obtaining ==
Boats can be crafted with any Overworld planks; crimson and warped planks cannot be used to make boats.<ref>{{bug|MC-170868|||Invalid}}</ref>

Boats can be retrieved by repeatedly hitting them until they drop as an item.

[[Tool]]s and [[weapon]]s that deal more than {{Health|4}} damage will instantly destroy a boat in one hit.{{only|Java}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

|showname=0
|A2= Matching Overworld Planks
|C2= Matching Overworld Planks
|A3= Matching Overworld Planks
|B3= Matching Overworld Planks
|C3= Matching Overworld Planks
|Output= Matching Boat
|type= Transportation
|foot=1
}}

== Usage ==
Boats can be used for the transportation of [[player]]s and [[mob]]s, sold for emeralds, or [[Smelting|burnt]] as fuel.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting usage|match=end|Boat, Bamboo Raft}}

=== Trading ===
Master-level fisherman [[villager]]s always offer to buy a boat for an [[emerald]]. The type of boat depends on the biome outfit type of the villager; [[plains]] villagers offer to buy oak boats, [[taiga]] and [[Snowy Tundra|snowy]] villagers offer to buy spruce boats, [[savanna]] villagers offer to buy acacia boats, [[desert]] and [[jungle]] villagers offer to buy jungle boats, and [[swamp]] villagers offer to buy dark oak boats.

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

=== Transportation ===
{{see also|Transportation|Riding}}
==== Entering ====

A player enters a boat by {{control|using}} it, if the boat is not fully occupied (boats can hold two entities). Unlike [[bed]]s, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied boat.<ref>{{bug|MC-161251}} - resolved as “Works as Intended”</ref>

==== Exiting ====
A boat can be exited by {{control|sneaking}} or, {{in|BE}}, pressing down the right analog stick on a controller, tapping the "Leave Boat" button when using touch controls, or {{control|jumping}}. When exiting a boat, the player is placed in the direction the player is facing, or, if facing directly up or down, the player is placed in front of the boat. The exiting player is placed on land if possible from the dismounting position.

==== Motion ====
Boats do not turn with mouse-look. 

With a keyboard or gamepad, boats are controlled using the {{control|forward}}, {{control|left}} (turns left), {{control|right}} (turns right), and {{control|backward}} keys. Using the {{control|sprint}} key increases the field of vision, but does not increase speed as if [[sprinting]].

With touchscreen controls, two buttons for steering appear. The right button or key steers to the left, and the left button or key steers to the right. Pressing both buttons or keys moves the boat forward.

{{IN|Java}}, boats can be ridden against a current, but cannot be ridden upstream to a higher elevation. A boat lift, usually made from tripwire, pistons, and optionally a slime block, can be used to move a boat up. Bubble columns created with soul sand can also be used to push boats upward. These mechanisms can also be used {{in|bedrock}} but are usually unnecessary because boats can be ridden upward in descending water, as well as [[Tutorials/Water-powered boat transportation|follow upward stair-step currents]].

== Behavior ==
=== Speed ===
Boats move according to the player's control or water currents, with speed affected by the surface traversed. Boats move extremely quickly on ice,<ref name="MC-97803">{{bug|MC-97803||Boats going faster on ice than in water|WAI}}</ref> allowing for the construction of fast transportation systems in any dimension.

|2.0 blocks/s
|}

=== Floatation ===
[[File:Oak Boat shake.gif|thumb|right|The animation of an oak boat when atop a [[Bubble Column|bubble column]].]]
A boat floats atop still or flowing water. {{IN|java}}, a boat sinks if it enters a waterfall.<ref>{{bug|MC-91206|||WAI}}</ref> {{IN|bedrock}}, a boat does not sink when submerged but floats up. This feature lets a player contrive stepped uphill water flows to [[Tutorials/Water-powered boat transportation#Floating uphill|propel a boat uphill]] using only flowing water.

When a boat moves over a bubble column, it begins to shake. If the bubbles are caused by a [[Magma Block|magma block]], all passengers are expelled and the boat sinks.

{{IN|java}}, a sunken boat cannot be re-floated until a bubble column pushes it up or it is broken by the player. {{IN|bedrock}}, a boat resumes floating when it emerges from the currents keeping it down, or when the bubble column is blocked or removed.

[[Dolphin]]s chase players riding a boat in motion, occasionally bumping the boat, causing it to shake briefly.

=== Destruction ===
As boats are [[Entity|entities]], they have [[health]]. Boats effectively have just over {{hp|4}} (exactly 4 damage is not quite enough to destroy a boat), and regenerate {{frac|1|10}} per game tick. 

Boats can be destroyed by explosions, fire and lava (but not magma blocks), cactus, and by being punched by mobs, such as [[Drowned]]. Boats made invulnerable with commands cannot be broken by any of these, but they still cannot be used to travel on lava because they sink.

When a boat is destroyed under normal conditions, it drops itself in item form. In certain conditions, such as when falling for exactly 12, 13, 49, 51, 111, 114, 198, 202, 310, or 315 blocks,<ref name="MC-119369">{{bug|MC-119369}}</ref> it drops two [[stick]]s and three [[planks]] upon being destroyed.

=== Passengers ===
[[File:Multiple mobs in 2 boats.png|alt=|thumb|Multiple mobs in 2 types of boats.]]
Boats can support two riders, including [[mob]]s. Except for [[Enderman|endermen]] {{in|bedrock}}, a mob cannot exit a boat and is trapped until the boat gets destroyed, or until the player uses a [[Fishing Rod|fishing rod]] or [[lead]] to remove the mob. This can be used to transport mobs, although hostile mobs still attack while in boats. Mobs riding a boat don't despawn{{only|java}} and don't count toward the mob cap.<ref>{{bug|MC-182897|resolution=WAI}}</ref>

A player cannot both move (row) and use items at the same time. It is still possible to initialize item use (e.g. start eating) and row the boat while the item is still in the middle of the use animation. Although the rowing animation overrides the item use animation, the item can still be successfully consumed. This does not work with items that are triggered by the ''release'' of the use button (such as [[Bow|bows]] and [[Trident|tridents]]).{{only|Java}}

Being in a boat limits the player's mouse-look to the forward 210° arc {{in|java}} and 180° {{in|bedrock}}.

Underwater boat cannot be ridden. When the boat is underwater, all passengers in it are expelled.

=== Damage prevention ===
Riding a boat does not deplete [[hunger]], making it an efficient way to travel.

Boats can completely nullify [[fall damage]] for themselves and any players/mobs inside, making them useful for travel through mountains or through the Nether.<ref>{{bug|MC-105103|resolution=WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-149490|resolution=WAI}}</ref> However {{in|java}}, due to a bug, boats can break when falling from certain heights, and the riders take fall damage.<ref name="MC-119369"></ref>

=== Collision ===
A boat has a solid collision box, which means players and other entities can't go through it even with high speed. Falling blocks are also blocked by boats.

{{IN|java}}, a boat falling on top of an entity stops on top of the entity. {{In|bedrock}}, a falling boat can go through other entities.

Riding a boat over a [[Lily Pad|lily pad]] causes the lily pad to drop, although the boat's speed stutters a bit.

=== Mobs ===
Most mobs can ride boats. Mobs cannot exit the boat unless the boat is destroyed, sinks, or moves over a bubble column. However, {{in|bedrock}}, [[endermen]] are able to teleport out of boats.

Mobs can be picked up into the boat when they collide with the side of the boat. A mob cannot control the boat. {{IN|java}}, a boat being ridden by a player cannot pick up a mob. {{IN|bedrock}}, mobs can be picked up by a boat being ridden by a player.

Mobs wider than the width of a boat cannot be picked up by a boat. [[Warden]]s, and [[wither]]s cannot be picked up by a boat. {{IN|java}}, baby [[sniffer]]s cannot be picked up either.

=== Lead ===
{{IN|java}}, leads cannot be attached to boats. {{IN|bedrock}}, leads can be attached to boats, though the lead can break when stretched too far due to boats moving much slower on land.

== Sounds ==

Boats use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

{{issue list}}

==Trivia== 
*[[Sand]], [[Sand|red sand]], [[Concrete Powder|concrete powder]], [[gravel]], [[anvil]]s, and [[Dragon Egg|dragon egg]]s drop as [[Item (entity)|items]] when they fall onto a boat that is in water.
*A [[chest]] is short enough that a boat falls onto it rather than crashes into it.
*{{IN|console}}, holding the movement stick to the side in a boat on [[Blue Ice|blue ice]] causes the player to spin quickly. If a passenger is in the boat while this occurs, when the player exits the boat after it reaches maximum velocity (attained after about three seconds), for most mobs, the mob's head may spin uncontrollably. For some mobs, however, nothing happens (such as [[slime]]s and [[ghast]]s). The mob may also get its head stuck at an angle. Thorough testing was done on Minecraft: Wii U Edition, although the glitch was originally discovered on the Xbox 360 Edition.

'''Suspicious stew''' is a [[food]] item that can give the [[player]] a [[effect|status effect]] that depends on the [[flower]] used to craft it.

== Obtaining ==
{{IN|Bedrock}}, suspicious stew is the only food item in the game that can be obtained from the [[Creative]] inventory only by searching. However, it can be crafted and can also be found in [[shipwreck]] chests. Suspicious stew can be given with [[commands]] like {{cmd|give}}, but {{in|java}}, unless NBT data like that listed in the data values section is included, consuming it has no effect and still restores the same hunger points as a normal suspicious stew. In [[Bedrock Edition]], giving the player a suspicious stew through commands causes the stew to choose an allowable status effect at random.

=== Harvesting ===
Suspicious stew can be obtained by "milking" a brown [[mooshroom]] with a [[bowl]] after using a small flower on it. When a small flower is used on a brown mooshroom, the brown mooshrom produces a suspicious stew related to that small flower the next time it is milked with a bowl. Red mooshrooms do not produce suspicious stew. The brown mooshroom returns to producing [[mushroom stew]] until fed another small flower.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Red Mushroom
|Brown Mushroom
|Bowl
|Any Flower
|Output=Suspicious Stew
|shapeless=true
|type=Foodstuff
}}
Suspicious stew is not listed in the recipe book. However, it can be quickly assembled by clicking the [[Mushroom Stew|mushroom stew]] recipe and adding one small flower to it.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|suspicious-stew}}

=== Mob loot ===
After being given a flower, a brown [[mooshroom]] can be "milked" for suspicious stew by {{control|using}} a [[bowl]] on it. The flower type determines the stew's effect using the same rule as a crafted stew. Milking a red mooshroom after feeding it a flower does not yield a suspicious stew specific to that flower.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, expert-level farmer [[villager]]s can offer either 1 or 2 suspicious stew trades, each stew for one [[emerald]].

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level farmer villager offers to sell suspicious stew for one emerald as well.

The [[trading]] interface does not indicate the type of suspicious stew being sold, but each trade entry consistently yields the same type of stew, so the player can remember or make a note of the types offered by a given villager, such as "this villager's first stew gives [[blindness]], and their second entry gives saturation".

== Usage ==
=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management}}
To eat suspicious stew, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|6}} hunger and 7.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] and gives a few seconds of a [[effect|status effect]] that varies depending on which flower was used to craft it. The effect is not displayed in the tooltip, texture, etc., meaning that the player cannot know in advance what the effect is without knowing which flower was used.

{{/Effects}}
The [[bowl]] is emptied and returned to the player after the suspicious stew has been eaten, and can be re-used to craft more stews. Unlike most foods, suspicious stew can be eaten even if the player's hunger bar is full.

The Saturation effect effectively makes those two stews a superfood: In those 6 or 7 ticks it can restore up to 6(7) hunger and 12(14) saturation points ''on top of'' their food value, for a total of at least {{hunger|12}} hunger, and effectively maximizing saturation. This is the largest amount of hunger and saturation the player can get from a single food item. Regeneration can restore up to {{Health|3}} health, and Poison or Wither can inflict up to {{Health|4}} damage.

Consuming suspicious stew is the only way to obtain the Saturation and Blindness effects in vanilla ''Minecraft'' without the use of commands.

A '''head''' or '''skull''' is a [[block]] modeled after the head of a specific [[entity]]. There are seven types of heads: [[player]] ([[Steve]]'s head by default), [[zombie]], [[skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[creeper]], [[piglin]], and [[dragon]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

A mob head can be mined using any item,<ref>{{bug|MC-192905||Heads & Skulls have no assigned tool}}</ref> and drops itself when broken.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mob Head|sprite=Heads}}
If a head is pushed by a [[piston]] or comes in contact with [[water]] or [[lava]], it breaks off as an [[item (entity)|item]].

When destroyed by an [[explosion]], the head ''always'' drops as an item.

===Natural generation===

Dragon heads generate on [[end ships]] found in [[End City|end cities]].

Skeleton skulls can generate in [[ancient cities]], which sometimes generate in the [[deep dark]].

=== Mob loot ===

A [[wither skeleton]] has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]]. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. {{IN|bedrock}}, the chance is increased by 2% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III.

[[Skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[zombie]], [[creeper]] and [[piglin]] heads are always dropped by the respective mob if it dies due to a [[charged creeper]]'s explosion. {{IN|bedrock}}, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however {{in|java}} only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>{{bug|MC-63534|||WAI}}</ref> If an [[ender dragon]] or a [[player]] is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head.<ref name=":0">{{bug|MC-132933|||WAI}}</ref>

==Usage ==

===Decoration===

Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[sign]]s. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.

When placed and powered by redstone, the piglin and dragon heads plays an animation. The piglin head flaps its ears (2 times per second for the right ear and 2.5 times per second for the left ear) while the dragon head opens and closes its mouth repeatedly (2 times per second). The same animation occurs when worn by a (horizontally) moving player, zombie, skeleton, or [[armor stand]] (note: the animation does not play if the <code>NoGravity</code> tag is set to 1)

=== Wearing ===
{{See also|#Renders}}

The player can wear heads, similarly to [[pumpkin]]s or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[skin]].

====Disguise====

Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range for [[skeleton]]s (but not [[wither skeleton]]s), [[creeper]]s, [[zombie]]s, and [[piglin]]s to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from [[sneaking]] and from the [[Invisibility]] status effect.

{{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any mob head or carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[map]].

=== Withers===
{{FakeImage|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Sand|www|sss| s }}|Wither build configuration}}

[[Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, and putting 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical. The last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither, by placing the final skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.

===Dispensers===
A [[dispenser]] can equip a mob head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

[[Dispenser]]s can also complete the construction of a wither.

===Enchantments===

Mob heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]].

|}

=== Note blocks ===
Placing a head above a [[note block]] causes the note block to play the corresponding mob's {{cd|ambient}} sound when activated. The only exception is the creeper head; as creepers don't make {{cd|ambient}} sounds, the note block plays the {{cd|primed}} (hissing) sound instead.

The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.

==Player skins==
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
Human heads have an extra usage for map makers, they can be given [[Chunk format#Entity Format|NBT data]] so that they appear with the skin of any ''Minecraft'' account. This means if a player knows that a specific account has a head that is desired to display, the NBT data can be edited to make it appear.

The command to give the player a head with the skin of another player is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"<''PlayerName''>"} }}. Commonly, this kind of head is called a custom head. 

Another command to give the player a head with another player's skin is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Id:"<''PlayerUUID''>",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"<''SkinURL''>"}]} } } }}. ''SkinURL'' is a string encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64] containing the URL of the player's skin.<ref>Example: {"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"<nowiki>http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/292009a4925b58f02c77dadc3ecef07ea4c7472f64e0fdc32ce5522489362680"}}}</ref> A player head saves the skin of the player from the time it was created, meaning if the player changes their skin, the head still displays the original texture.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|464414369452142592|Skulls are a snapshot of the skin as it was made; just change your skin, make a skull, and change your skin back. That's intended behaviour.|May 8, 2014}}</ref> This kind of head is generally called a custom head.

Note that it is therefore necessary to be connected to the internet to load the texture of a skin, whatever the property used.
When they are loaded for the first time by the client, the skins textures are cached in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolders)\(files)}}.
If the client does not have access to the internet when it first loads, the player's head displays a regular head (Steve's skin) which is also cached.
Afterwards, even if the client reconnects to the internet, in order to display the skin correctly, it is necessary to clear the cache manually by deleting the recently created files in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolder)}}, then restarting the game.

===Marc's Head Format ===
[[File:Allmobheads.png|thumb|right|Most of the MHF mob heads provided.]]

{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}

[[Marc Watson]] created a number of accounts with specific skins so map makers could use common heads without the risk of someone changing their skins.<ref>{{reddit|1m0itx/twitter_marc_irl_mapmakers_would_it_be_useful|cc4m1cq|I'm here to make it so that people don't have to worry about having a consistent account whose skin might change.|Marc_IRL|September 9, 2013}}</ref> Nowadays, since heads do not update the skin if a player changes their skin, this is not something map-makers need to worry about, though these skins are still useful. These accounts have names in the format <code>MHF_<''Name''></code>, for example <code>MHF_PigZombie</code> is the name of a ''Minecraft'' user with a [[zombified piglin]] head. MHF stands for "Marc's Head Format".<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|377453670410891264|head format. I needed to pick a prefix that was short and not already taken by other usernames.|September 10, 2013}}</ref> There are also a few blocks and "bonus" heads, for more variety. These player heads have not been updated in compliance with the [[Texture Update]], and are outdated.

Because these are names of player accounts, these heads are obtained or placed using the <code>SkullOwner</code> tag, for instance: {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"MHF_''<Name>''"}<nowiki />}}.

The following names/heads have been made available:<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|542330244473311232|For those following the MHF list, I have presents for you. Full list of accounts I've made: http://pastebin.com/5mug6EBu|December 9, 2014}}</ref>

=== Skull "item" ===
{{:Technical blocks/Skull}}

==Issues==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

* Heads do not have their own textures and take their textures from other objects.
* When [[breaking]] any head, the particle effect of breaking it is the same as [[soul sand]].
* Despite there being a default Steve head, heads for the other protagonist skins cannot be obtained without using custom names.
* {{IN|be}}, the skull variant for the item is stored under the {{cd|damage}} component, normally used for items with [[durability]].

==== 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 ===
{{LootChestItem|iron-sword,level-enchanted-iron-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-iron-sword,golden-sword,random-enchanted-golden-sword,diamond-sword,damaged-diamond-sword,level-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword-2}}

== 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.

An '''armor stand''' is an inanimate [[entity]] that can wear [[armor]]. It can also hold [[Item|items]] and be posed (but these are not possible in [[Survival]] in [[Java Edition]]).

== Obtaining ==
An armor stand can be broken by quickly {{control|attack|text=attacking}} it twice, dropping itself and any armor placed onto it.

|B1= Stick
|C1= Stick

}}

=== Natural generation ===
Two armor stands are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one equipped with an [[iron helmet]], the other with an [[iron chestplate]].

== Usage ==
[[Player]]s can use armor stands to hold [[armor]], [[mob head]]s, [[carved pumpkin]]s, and [[elytra]]. [[Commands]] can be used to give them other [[item]]s. The stand does not have a GUI, so players interact with it directly. Armor stands are also able to be placed in different orientations, similar to [[banner]]s or [[sign]]s. Armor stands are [[entity|entities]], allowing them to be pushed by [[piston]]s, moved by flowing [[water]], pulled with [[fishing rod]]s, pushed by players (with knockback), and bounced by [[slime block]]s. 

{{Control|use|text=Using}} armor on the stand places the armor if done on a bare spot. Conversely, clicking on armor with a bare hand removes the armor and places it in the highlighted hotbar slot. It is not possible to take or place items from the armor stand's hands unless playing on Bedrock Edition.

Armor, mob heads, or carved pumpkins can be automatically placed on armor stands with a [[dispenser]].

Armor stands can be customized further to have arms, pose, disobey gravity, dual wield and other things by summoning them using {{cmd|summon}} with [[Chunk format#ArmorStand|NBT tags]].

In maps heavily using [[command blocks]], armor stands can be used to keep [[scoreboard]] objectives that are 'global' to the map, run [[commands]], etc. 

{{IN|bedrock}}, the pose of the armor stand can be changed by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Pose|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while sneaking, or by using a redstone signal. There are 13 possible poses. Armor stands can also hold items by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Equip|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while holding an item that cannot be worn.

== Behavior ==

Because armor stands are entities, they obey gravity, allowing them to fall and rest on non-full [[block]]s such as [[enchanting table]]s, [[snow layer]]s and [[slab]]s.

Any [[armor]] on the stand drops when the stand is broken. Armor stands can display [[enchanting|enchanted]] and all forms of [[dye]]d armor. The effects of most enchanted armor have no effect when on an armor stand, with three exceptions: 
* [[Frost Walker]] creates [[frosted ice]] blocks on [[water]] as usual if an armor stand is pushed with a [[piston]].
* [[Depth Strider]] slows the movement of the armor stand when being pushed with water. 
* A [[player]] may take damage from hitting an armor stand that holds armor enchanted with [[Thorns]].

Armor stands are not damaged by [[cacti]] but can be broken by [[arrow]]s. An armor stand destroyed by an explosion or a firework does not drop as an [[item (entity)|item]]. Armor stands in water and [[lava]] at the same time are not consumed by the lava.

{{IN|be}}, armor stands can be affected by [[status effect]]s. They can be 'killed' by [[Harming]] and [[Decay]] [[splash potion|splash]]/[[lingering potion]]s, lava, [[fire]], and [[campfire]]s, and they play the player death sound and fall to their side and disappear, yielding no armor stand item. If an armor stand is equipped with an item or armor, that item or armor is considered as "naturally-spawned equipment" with an 8.5% chance of dropping when the armor stand "dies" from the [[Instant Damage]] or the [[Wither (status effect)|Wither]] status effect. If the dropped item is any form of [[weapon]], [[tool]] or armor, it drops in a badly damaged state because the game considers it as "naturally-spawned equipment".<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-24341}}</ref>

The stand wobbles slightly when being hit by the player.

{{IN|java}}, it is possible to create an armor stand with arms using the {{cmd|summon}} [[command]]. It is also possible to change an armor stand without arms into a stand with arms by using the {{cmd|data}} command. The commands are as follows:

* <code>/data merge entity @e[type=armor_stand,sort=nearest,limit=1] {ShowArms:1}</code>, which changes the nearest armor stand into an armor stand with arms.
* <code>/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {ShowArms:1}</code>, which summons a new armor stand with arms shown.
*<code>/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Rotation:[0.0f]}</code>, which summons a new armor stand that faces a desired direction (dependent on changing "0.0f" to other numbers like "90.0f" or "180.0f", otherwise it faces the same way as a default armor stand).

== Sounds ==

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Equipping armor stands with certain [[block]]s and [[item]]s can cause rendering glitches. According to [[Searge]] this is due to transparent rendering on entities not yet being supported.<ref>{{bug|MC-67415||"Armor Stands with Slime Block rendering entities behind them"}} resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-67674||"Armor Stand wearing a Skull and Holding Stained Glass causes Graphical issues"}} resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref>
* Bedrock Edition has a version exclusive armor stand [[model]], which includes posable arms.
*Using [[redstone]] to change the stands reverse the poses, starting with the can-can pose first.
*Placing the stand within three powered [[redstone dust]] always changes its pose to the honor pose. [[Redstone Repeater|Repeaters]] also switch the stand to the honor pose if not set four blocks from one.
*Using external tools, armor stand spawners can be placed.
*Secret signatures for [[Jasper Boerstra|JAPPA]], Chi Wong, and [[Michael Stoyke|Searge]] can be found at the bottom of the armor stand texture.

'''Compounds''' are a type of [[item]] from [[Education Edition]] used in chemistry, which are created from combinations of various [[element]]s.

== Obtaining ==
Compounds cannot be obtained in the [[Creative inventory]]. They are only obtained from creating them in the [[compound creator]]. This is done by inserting a certain number of [[element]]s corresponding to the compound's chemical formula.

=== Garbage ===
Garbage is considered a "compound", but the only way to produce it is to activate the [[Lab Table]] when its inputs are an invalid recipe. It has no uses.

== Usage ==
Certain compounds are used as ingredients in [[crafting]] or [[lab table]] experiments. Natural compounds have uses outside of chemistry, detailed in their respective articles.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

== Unused compound textures ==
In the chemistry resource pack folder, there are numerous [[History of textures/Unused textures#Unused compounds|compound textures which are not used]] in the game. Note: a <code>compound</code> item with a data value of <code>38</code> will have the <code>Blue Flask</code> texture and will be called <code>item.compound..name</code>. If you use an NBT Editor to get a compound item with no assigned data value (by deleting the data tag) and then transfer that item to another world / realm using structure blocks (by exporting to a <code>.mcstructure</code> file, then importing it on another world or realm) then it will be renamed to <code>Ivory Tusk</code>.

A '''pitcher pod''' is an ancient bulbous seed that has a chance to be dropped by [[Sniffer|sniffers]] when they finish digging. It is the seed for [[Pitcher Plant]]s.

== Obtaining ==
[[Sniffer]]s occasionally bury their nose in the ground and start digging. Once the sniffer has finished digging, one pitcher pod has a chance to be dropped on the floor as an item.

Sniffers can only dig for pitcher pods in the following blocks:
*{{BlockLink|Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Podzol}}
*{{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Mud}}
*{{BlockLink|Muddy Mangrove Roots}}
They cannot dig for pitcher pods on [[mycelium]].<ref>{{bug|MC-260259||Sniffers cannot dig nor find seeds on mycelium|WAI}}</ref>

== Usage ==
=== Pitcher Crop ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1=Pitcher Crop Farming}}
Pitcher pods can be placed on [[farmland]] by {{ctrl|using}}, where they grow through three stages as a '''pitcher crop'''.

Breaking the crop before it matures drops the pitcher pod, while breaking the final stage produces a [[pitcher plant]] and does ''not'' yield the pod. Pitcher crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

Farmer [[villager]]s can plant pitcher pods, but cannot harvest them once they have fully grown.<ref>{{bug|MC-263382|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Feeding ===
Pitcher pods can be used to breed [[chicken]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of and chicks by 10%.

=== Taming ===
Pitcher pods can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.

Trivia

  • According to Jeb, polar bears were added after his son Björn was born. Coincidentally, "björn" is Swedish for "bear".[2]
  • 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.
  • Polar bears are the first bears added into the game, later followed by pandas.
  • During the development of the frozen ocean biome, polar bears were removed from spawning, due to being deemed too "sad". They were added back in because it is more accurate to the polar bear's real life status.[3]
  • in Java Edition, the polar bear is the only mob whose baby variant can grow up, but the adults cannot breed or be bred.
