Rails (also known as Minecart Tracks) are non-solid blocks that provide a path along which minecarts can travel. Broken sections of rails are commonly found in abandoned mine shafts. Rails are crafted from sticks and iron ingots. The powered rail, detector rail and activator rail are variations with special properties. Rails can be placed on top of opaque blocks, and will automatically orient themselves to connect with any adjacent rails. They can be destroyed without a tool, but a pickaxe will mine them very quickly.

Behavior

If a track is placed next to an existing track, the two tracks will join automatically. If a track is placed perpendicular to an existing length of track, then the track connecting them will turn into a curve. However, destroying track will not cause remaining track to re-orient itself.

If a track leads up to a one-block high ledge, the piece placed up against the ledge will turn into a ramp if another track is placed on top of the ledge.

Minecarts that encounter a series of curved tracks in an alternating, zig-zag pattern will travel in a straight line at 45 degrees until the track straightens out or curves in the same direction twice (u-turn), but it will still lose speed as though it were going through a series of bends.

The curved section of a rail at T intersections can be powered by redstone circuits and their direction can change with switches provided there is no confusion about the 2 directions to switch to. Separate tracks laid adjacent but at the next level lower or higher can sometimes cause issues. Since there are no formal rail junctions, switched T intersections are the only method by which the player can have a track system that leads in more directions than back and forth. In rare cases, curved track sections will not change appearance when their direction is changed. If a track switching mechanism seems to be inexplicably broken, test it by running a cart on the track rather than by looking at how the track appears to be oriented. Redstone circuits will not affect normal track blocks or track ramps.

If water flows against a track, it will remove it and drop the track as a resource, similar to torches. Lava will also remove tracks, but the resource will nearly always also be destroyed by falling into the lava.

By placing a detector rail as the input of a T Flip-Flop latch, you can make a togglable turn every time a minecart travels over the rail. This can be very useful to divide minecarts evenly between two or more tracks if there is a large number coming in.

Rail collision

When a cart is traveling on a curve, it will momentarily lose collision prior to exiting the curve. Thus, if a block is placed directly after the curve instead of a track piece, the cart will phase through it. This can be used to kill players by suffocation, by making a 2x1x2 block on the rail after the corner. The best way to free yourself is to use a pickaxe, but the mining time is a bit longer than normal. This can be utilized to make minecarts seemingly appear from nothing, by making a hole underneath. It should be noted that since minecarts travel diagonally on curves, it can miss the hole if it has enough speed, by skipping over it, if the hole is 1x1. This can be avoided by blocking the sides. It is not recommended to use this method in rapid succession, as the cart will slow down a lot. Anyone sitting in the cart will likely be subject to suffocation.

South-east rule

Track intersections
T-intersection-south-west

At non-curve track intersections, minecarts will always travel south or east (as shown in the diagram to the left). This is commonly referred to as the South-East rule.

This rule also applies to T-intersections, and determine which way the curve from the intersection will face when unpowered. You can use this to orient yourself.

Downhill rule

Downhill rule

At non-curve track intersections minecarts will always travel downhill if they can. This is known as the downhill rule and overrides the south-east rule.

Ramp clearance/one-way effect

File:2011-10-10 21.54.31.png

A block placed above the track at the downhill end of a ramp will prevent minecarts from traveling down the slope, but not up.

  • In order for a minecart to move down a diagonal tunnel, there must be just as much clearance as a player needs to walk it.
  • This effect can be used to allow minecarts to travel in only one direction, preventing runaway carts from going back into launching mechanisms and jamming them up.

Curve intersections

Railguide

A diagram on how Minecarts travel according to track curves.

If a straight track piece leads to a curve block and isn't attached to the curve, a Minecart will run over the gap and continue to go straight over the curve.

Notably, the minecart can exceed the normal 8 m/s speed limit while it jumps over the gap. For example, by placing intersections on every other block of a straight track, it is possible to travel at 10 m/s in a straight direction (but it will be a very uncomfortable ride).

'''minecraft:dupe_hack''' is a joke item from [[Java Edition 23w13a_or_b]].

==Obtaining==

Once the <code>dupe_hack_occurrence_chance</code> vote is approved the '''dupe hack''' item has a random chance of dropping whenever an entity with chests is killed by a player, e.g. when destroying a [[Minecart with Chest|minecart with chest]] with a [[sword]].

It doesn't appear in the [[creative]] menu, not even when the [[Options#Controls|option]] "Operator Items Tab" is enabled, but can be given to the player with [[Commands/give|<code>/give</code>]] and other commands.

==Usage==
The dupe hack item can be used to create a limited amount of duplicate items by placing it on a [[crafting table]] with any other item. It has a random chance of breaking, controlled by the <code>dupe_hack_break_chance</code> vote. This limitation can be mostly bypassed by putting the items in an [[Ender Chest|ender chest]] first and duplicating the chest.

In this update and earlier, if sand or gravel fell onto minecart tracks with at least one block of air between the falling sand/gravel and the track block the sand/gravel appeared as a collectable resource above the track. This was useful if the player are hollowing out a space underground and break through into a pocket of gravel or sand above. If you "carpet" the floor with minecart track then the falling gravel or sand will not require subsequent digging out and neither will it smother you provided you are standing on track. This technique is particularly useful in desert biome areas with large sand overhangs or sand roofed caverns can be encountered. However, this trick also works with torches, signs, and ladders, which makes this a very expensive alternative (alternatively, it is more practical than signs and ladders, as being able to carpet a large area with either of these calls for more of them than you are likely to have. If the player is carrying rail, it's usually for building a rail link, which means the player will have a lot of it.)

{{Item

}}
A '''knowledge book''' is a utility item that reveals available [[crafting]] recipes to the player when {{control|used|use}}.

== Obtaining ==
Knowledge books can be obtained only by using [[commands]], as it is not found in the [[creative]] inventory; therefore, it is impossible to obtain in other modes such as [[survival]] and [[adventure]] except with commands.

For example, to give oneself a knowledge book that reveals the recipes for [[bucket]]s and [[flower pot]]s, use: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:knowledge_book{Recipes:["minecraft:bucket", "minecraft:flower_pot"]} }}.

== Usage ==
Knowledge books are used to reveal recipes to the player who uses it, by adding it to their [[recipe book]]. Using a knowledge book consumes it, removing it from the player's inventory.

Knowledge books are especially useful to mapmakers in conjunction with {{cmd|gamerule doLimitedCrafting true}}, because then any item is craftable only if its recipe is unlocked first.

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===

===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>

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.

When NBT-customized heads (with names and lores) are placed on the ground, they lose their names and given lores upon picking up. Therefore, using Ctrl + {{ctrl|pick block}} on a custom player head gives the player a head that still retains its textures, but with no lores and its name is reset to either {{code|[PlayerName]'s Head}} (heads obtained by MHF-Marc's Head Format or existing players in the world) or {{code|Player Head}} (heads obtained by using skin URLs).

=== 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==
* 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]].
*The head item's model when wore on a player is slightly larger than its placed block counterpart in the world, which in turn is also slightly larger than the actual player's head. Therefore, a player who wears their own head appears with a larger head.

An '''enchanted book''' is an [[item]] that lets players add [[enchantments]] to certain items using an [[anvil]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===

==== Level-30 books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book}}

==== Random enchantment books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd}}

==== Soul Speed books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-soul-speed}}

==== Swift Sneak books ====
{{LootChestItem|enchanted-book-rnd-swift-sneak}}

===Fishing===
Enchanted books can be obtained as a "treasure" item from [[fishing]] with a [[fishing rod]] as part of the "treasure" category. The book has the equivalent of a level 30 enchantment from an enchantment table, but treasure enchantments are available and the chance of multiple enchantments is not reduced.

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell enchanted books as part of their trades at novice, apprentice, and journeyman-level, and have {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell enchanted books at expert-level as part of their trades, meaning each librarian villager can sell up to four books. The price ranges between 5-64 [[emerald]]s per book. Based on the level of the enchantment and whether it is classified as a "[[Enchanting mechanics|treasure enchantment]]" (meaning they are not obtainable by enchanting, e.g. [[Mending]]), which doubles the cost, or not a price is determined.

They may contain any available enchantment (except Soul Speed and Swift Sneak) at any available level. See [[Trading#cite_note-enchanted-book-10|trading notes]] for more information on enchantments and prices.

===Drops ===
Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a small chance to drop an enchanted book with a level 30 enchantment, which may be a treasure enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}

===Enchanting===

[[File:Enchanted Book 4x.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple high level enchantments.]]
[[File:Similar enchantments.png|thumb|An enchanted book with multiple enchantments that can be applied to the same item.]]

Players can create an enchanted book by enchanting a [[book]] on an [[enchantment table]]. Books have a decreased chance of getting multiple enchantments (specifically, if multiple enchantments would be added, then one is removed at random), and have a lower "enchantability level" than most other items. Treasure enchantments such as Mending cannot be obtained from an enchantment table.

=== Bartering ===
Players can barter with [[piglin]]s by using or throwing [[gold ingot]]s, and doing so has a {{frac|5|459}} chance for piglins to give the player an enchanted book with any level of [[Soul Speed]]. Soul Speed enchanted books are only obtainable through [[bartering]], [[chest]] loot inside a bastion remnant, and [[fishing]]. They cannot be obtained through [[enchanting]] or [[trading]].

== Usage ==
{{see also|Anvil mechanics}}

In Survival, enchanted books are the only method to obtain certain enchantments on certain tools, such as Unbreaking on [[shield]]s. Enchanted books have a shine effect on their sprite.

To use an enchanted book, the player must place an item in the first slot in an [[anvil]], and a book in the next. In order to complete the enchantment, the player must have the required amount of [[experience]]. Note that using an enchanted book gets significant discounts at the anvil. Enchanted books themselves can be combined to create a single book with increased or multiple enchantments, similar to combining tools or weapons.  

When combining items, the compatible enchantments from the book in the second slot are transferred to the item from the first slot, keeping the highest level of any type. If two enchantments have the same level and a higher level is available, they combine into the next level. If a book is applied to an item that can't take all of its spells, the appropriate spells are transferred, while the unusable ones are lost. Enchanted books are single-use. 

Enchanted books do not exhibit their enchantment. For example, a book with Sharpness IV as an enchantment does no more damage than an un-enchanted book, or any non-weapon item, would when used as a weapon. An exception is the Fire Aspect book which can ignite TNT and light campfires and the Mending book if the block mined can be broken by fist.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Available items ===
{{See also|Enchantments}}

Enchanted books can enchant the usual items that can be enchanted at an [[enchanting table]], but ''unlike an enchanting table'', they are able to boost enchantments such as Sharpness or Thorns to their maximum power, and may apply the following enchantments to items (the table displays only netherite tools and armor, but any type can be enchanted):
<!-- do not change the items listed in this table. It is supposed to show the items that can receive these enchantments from an enchanted book, but are NOT possible through an enchanting table. -->

=== Creative mode ===

The player can enchant any item with any enchantment in [[Creative]] mode, allowing any applied effects to exhibit themselves.{{only|java}} For example, a [[stick]] can be enchanted with [[Silk Touch]] to allow the player to successfully dig [[grass block]]s. The enchanted item can still be used in Survival mode without any loss of enchantments.

Enchantments that are normally incompatible are still incompatible; for example, Piercing and Multishot cannot be both applied to the same item, even in Creative mode.

If a block is enchanted, it loses the enchantment upon being placed in the world.

=== Disenchanting ===
Disenchanting an enchanted book at a [[grindstone]] yields a normal [[book]] and some experience depending on the quality of the book.

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

A '''warped fungus on a stick''' is an item that can be used to control saddled [[strider]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

|B2=Warped Fungus
|Output= Warped Fungus on a Stick

|type= Transportation
}}

=== Mobs ===
A [[zombified piglin]] that spawns as a strider jockey holds a warped fungus on a stick instead of a {{ItemLink|golden sword}}, and has an 8.5%{{Only|java|short=y}} or 25%{{Only|bedrock|short=y}} chance to drop it if killed by a player or tamed [[wolf]], or upon death when angry. chance is increased by 1%{{Only|java|short=y}} or 5%{{Only|bedrock|short=y}} per level of Looting, for a maximum of 11.5%{{Only|java|short=y}} or 40%{{Only|bedrock|short=y}} with Looting III.

== Usage ==
[[File:Strider riding.gif|A [[player]] shown using a warped fungus on a stick to ride a [[strider]] (click to see animation).|thumb|350px]]
Similar to how a [[carrot on a stick]] is used to control [[pig]]s, the [[player]]s can use a warped fungus on a stick to control a [[strider]]. To do this, the player simply holds the [[item]] in one hand and any nearby striders within view is attracted toward the player. If mounted on a [[saddle]]d strider, the strider moves in the direction the player is facing while holding the warped fungus on a stick. Right clicking with the item makes the strider go faster, but reduces the item's durability by 1 for every speed boost. If the item durability reaches 0, it turns into a fishing rod.

Due to a strider's ability to walk on [[lava]], this is a beneficial [[tools|tool]] for using striders as a safe transport across [[the Nether]]'s terrain, which is otherwise considered difficult to traverse.

=== Enchantments ===
A warped fungus on a stick can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]]:

{|class="wikitable col-2-center col-3-right"

'''Cooked cod''' is a food item obtained by cooking [[raw cod]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
====Cod====
[[Cod]] always drops 1 [[Raw Cod|raw cod]] when killed, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-212795||Salmon & Fish mobs are not affected by Looting}}</ref> If it is killed while on [[fire]], it drops 1 cooked cod instead.
====Dolphins ====
When killed, [[Dolphin|dolphins]] drop 0–1 raw cod. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0-4 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked cod instead.
====Guardians and elder guardians====
[[Guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s have a 40% and 50% chance, respectively, to drop raw cod when killed. {{IN|java}}, cooked cod is dropped if a guardian is on fire when killed.

Guardians and elder guardians also drop a 2.5% chance to drop a random fish, with 60% of them being raw cod, which drops as cooked if the guardian was on fire. The chance of getting the fish drop is increased by 1% per level with [[Looting]] (for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III), but the type of fish is not affected.
====Polar bears====
[[Polar bear]]s have a 75% chance of dropping 0–2 raw cod when killed. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked cod instead.
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|cooked-cod}}

===Cooking===

Cooked cod can be obtained by cooking [[raw cod]] in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or [[campfire]]. 

{{smelting|Raw Cod|Cooked Cod|0,35}}

===Trading===

Novice-level Fisherman [[Villager|villagers]] have a 50% chance to sell 6 cooked cod for 6 raw cod and 1 [[emerald]].

== Usage ==

=== Food ===

To eat cooked cod, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|5}} [[hunger]] and 6 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Wolves ===

{{IN|Bedrock}}, cooked cod can be used to feed a wolf not at full health, healing by {{hp|5|mob=1}}. However, unlike other wolf food, cooked cod cannot be used to speed up the growth of baby wolves nor used to breed them.

A '''bundle''' is an [[item]] that can store up to a stack's worth of mixed [[item]] types within itself in a single [[inventory]] slot. Items that stack to 16 occupy more space within the bundle, and items that do not stack occupy the entire bundle without allowing space for any other items.

|2=Item stack sizes (top row) and the number of bundle slots they take up (middle row). Sticks stack to 64, so they take up one bundle slot; ender pearls stack to 16, so they take up four; and swords do not stack, so they take up the whole bundle. So, for instance, a bundle may have 32 sticks and 8 ender pearls inside (bottom), which take up a total of {{Tooltip|(32×1)|32 Sticks}}+{{Tooltip|(8×4)|8 Ender Pearls}}=64 bundle slots.
}}
Bundles are used to store different [[item|item type]]s in the same [[inventory]] slot. This does not, however, increase the total capacity of the slot: each bundle has 64 "bundle slots" and each item placed in the bundle takes up these slots similar to how they take up space in a normal inventory slot: items that stack to 64 take up 1 bundle slot, items that stack to 16 (for example, [[egg]]s) take up 4, and items that do not stack (such as tools/weapons/armor) take up the whole bundle, all 64 slots.

Although bundles themselves cannot be stacked, a bundle can be placed inside another (nested): the inner bundle itself uses 4 slots plus the number of slots already occupied by the items in that bundle.<ref>{{bug|MC-203567||Bundles can be placed inside of bundles|WAI}}</ref>  

To place items inside a bundle, either (1) pick up the bundle in the inventory and right-click on the item(s) to be placed inside or (2) pick up the item(s) and right-click on the bundle. When placing bundles inside another bundle, the interface uses the first method: picking up Bundle A and right clicking on Bundle B attempts to store Bundle B inside A.  

Bundles can be {{ctrl|used}} inside the inventory to take out the last item put in. In this way, items are accessible LIFO (last in, first out). When {{ctrl|used}} outside the inventory, it dumps all the items out into the world.

Hovering over the bundle shows its contained items in its inventory slots. The number of bundle slots used is displayed as ''<fullness>''/64 in the tooltip. If the bundle is full, then the empty slots are greyed out with an <span class="invslot">{{SlotSprite|Bundle full}}</span>.

[[Shulker box]]es cannot be placed inside of bundles.

Trivia

File:2012-06-14 14.11.47.png

An example of the "floating rails" bug in an abandoned mineshaft.

  • Players may only place rails on a block. However, it is possible to find floating rails in an abandoned mine shaft.
  • There is a glitch where in a track sloping downwards with a curved intersection, when approached from the side, will teleport the player under the block, trapping the player until they destroy the track and block.
  • If traveling a distance of 50 blocks it takes an average of 12 seconds to walk, 9.3 seconds to sprint (as much as possible) and 10.6 seconds by minecart. But if traveling the route over and over (e.g. mining) it is worth while investing in a railway system for ease of use.
  • There is a glitch that when a rail is placed on a block that an iron bar is connecting to will cause the top texture of the iron bars to disappear.
  • If you need to travel very long distances in the Overworld, it is best to build a railway system in the Nether. Not only will you use many fewer rails, you will travel much faster relatively to the Overworld (up to 64 m/s or 230 km/h in a straight line, or up to 325 km/h diagonally).
  • When walking on a block that has a rail on top, you will hear the sound of the block you're walking on, but if you jump (while still walking), you will hear the sound of wood.
  • Minecraft rails are approximately 2-foot gauge (the gauge is the distance between the rails).
  • Mobs will not path over track on their own, unless attacking the player, attracted by food, or pushed onto the rail.
