A redstone comparator is a block used in redstone circuits to maintain, compare, or subtract signal strength, or to measure certain block states (primarily the fullness of containers).

Obtaining

To remove a redstone comparator, mine it. A redstone comparator can be broken instantly with anything, and drops itself as an item.

A redstone comparator will also be removed and drop itself as an item:

  • if its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
  • if water flows into its space
  • if a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space

If lava flows into a redstone comparator's space, the redstone comparator will be destroyed without dropping itself as an item.

Usage

A redstone comparator can be placed on the top of any opaque block with a solid full-height top surface (including upside-down slabs and upside-down stairs), as well as on hoppers. To place a redstone comparator, use the Place Block control.

The redstone comparator has a front and a back — the arrow on the top of the comparator points to the front. When placed, the comparator will face away from the player. The comparator has two miniature redstone torches at the back and one at the front. The back torches turn on when the comparator's output is greater than zero (the arrow on top also turns red). The front torch has two states which can be toggled with the Use Item control: lowered and non-powered (indicating the comparator is in "comparison mode"), and elevated and powered (indicating the comparator is in "subtraction mode").

The redstone comparator can take a signal strength input from its rear as well as from both sides. Side inputs are only accepted from redstone dust, redstone repeaters, and other comparators. The redstone comparator's front is its output.

It takes 1 redstone tick (2 game ticks, or 0.1 seconds barring lag) for signals to move through a redstone comparator, either from the rear or from the sides. This applies to changing signal strengths as well as simply to turning on and off. Redstone comparators usually will not respond to 1-tick fluctuations of power or signal strength; a side input that is a 1-clock will be treated as always off.

The redstone comparator has four functions: maintain signal strength, compare signal strength, subtract signal strength, and measure certain block states (primarily the fullness of containers).

Maintain signal strength

A redstone comparator with no powered side inputs will simply output the same signal strength as its rear input.

Compare signal strength

File:ComparatorsExplained.PNG

Comparators in comparison mode.

A redstone comparator in comparison mode (front torch lowered and non-powered) will compare its rear input to its two side inputs. If either side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator output turns off. If neither side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator simply outputs the same signal strength as its rear input.

Subtract signal strength

A redstone comparator in subtraction mode (front torch elevated and powered) will subtract the signal strength of the highest side input from the signal strength of the rear input (minimum 0 signal strength).

For example, if the rear input signal strength is 7, the left side is 2, and the right side is 4, then the output will be a signal strength of 3, because 7 - MAX(2,4) = 3.

Measure block state

A redstone comparator can measure the fullness of a chest, as well as other block states, even through a block.

A redstone comparator will treat certain blocks behind it as power sources and output a signal strength proportional to the block's state. The comparator may be separated from the measured block by a solid block, but if the solid block is powered then its signal strength will override the signal strength of the measured block (whether greater or lesser).

A redstone comparator used to measure the state of a container outputs a signal strength in proportion to how full the container is (0 for empty, 15 for full, etc.).

Containers which can be measured by a comparator include:

When a comparator measures a double chest or trapped double chest, it measures the entire double chest (54 slots), not just the half directly behind the comparator. A chest or trapped chest which cannot be opened (either because it has an opaque block or ocelot above it) will always produce an output of 0 no matter how many items are in the container.

The Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength table (right) shows the minimum number of 64-stackable items required to produce specific signal strengths from various containers. A number followed by an "s" indicates the number of full item stacks required (not displayed if a full stack is not required), and a number followed by an "i" indicates the number of additional items required (not displayed if no items are required beyond some number of item stacks). For items which stack up to a maximum of 16 (snowballs, signs, ender pearls, etc.), divide the "i" number by 4 and round up. For non-stackable items, count any "i" number as one additional item.

For example, to produce a signal strength of 10 from a hopper requires a minimum of 3 full stacks plus 14 more items (or 4 16-stackable items).

Calculating signal strength from items
When a container is empty, the output is off.
When it is not empty, the output signal strength is calculated as follows:
signal strength = truncate(1 + ((sum of all slots' fullnesses) / number of slots in container) * 14)
fullness of a slot = (number of items in slot) / (max stack size for this type of item)
Example: 300 blocks in a dispenser (which has 9 slots), where each block stacks to a maximum of 64, produces output with a signal strength of 8:

1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) * 14 = 8.292, truncated is 8

Note that a non-stackable item is counted as a full slot (1 item in a slot, with a max stack size of 1: 1 / 1 = 1.0), and items which stack up to 16 (such as ender pearls and snowballs and eggs) are similarly considered a full slot at 16.
Calculating items from signal strength
It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows:
items required = max(desired signal strength, roundup((total slots in container * 64 / 14) * (desired signal strength - 1) ) )
Example: To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, you need 110 items:

max(9, (3*64/14)*(9-1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110

Miscellaneous

Comparator storage

Comparators used to measure containers.

Some non-container blocks can also be measured by a redstone comparator:

Cauldron
A cauldron outputs different signal strengths depending on how much water is inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Command Block
A command block stores the "success count" of the last command executed, which represents the number of times the most recently used command of this command block succeeded. A "success" is defined by the command's success conditions: if a red error message is returned in the chat, the command was not successful.
Most commands can only succeed once per execution, but certain commands (such as those which accept players as arguments) can succeed multiple times, and the comparator will output the number of times it succeeded (maximum 15).
A command block continues to store the success count of the last command executed until it executes its command again, thus the comparator will continue to output the same signal strength even after the command block is no longer being activated (it doesn't turn off when the signal to the command block turns off).
End Portal Frame
An end portal frame outputs a full signal of 15 if it contains an eye of ender and zero otherwise.
Jukebox
A jukebox outputs a signal strength which indicates which record is currently playing. For which records produce which signal strengths, see the Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength table above.
Item Frame
A comparator can measure the state of an item frame's contents. In order for a comparator to measure an item frame's contents, it must be placed behind the block the item frame is attached to, facing away from the item frame. An item frame comparator will output 0 if the item frame is empty, or 1 to 8 for any item depending on its rotation (1 at initial placement, plus 1 for each right-click rotation to a maximum of 8, then wrapping back to 1).

History

24 November 2012Tropical fish also have assigned names that can be seen after capture. In Java Edition, the smaller text under the item name is displayed showing the fish name, similar to the text that displays enchantments under enchanted items. In Bedrock Edition, the item name is displayed showing "Bucket of <fish name>". Their colors are mostly named according to the colored block names, though with a few exceptions:
  • White
  • Silver
  • Gray
  • Black
  • Brown
  • Red
  • Orange
  • Yellow
  • Lime
  • Green
  • Teal
  • Sky
  • Blue
  • Plum
  • Magenta
  • Rose

The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish:

Flopper Glitter Betty
Stripey Blockfish Clayfish
Tropical Fish Patterns
Kob Snooper Brinely
SunStreak Dasher Spotty

Some tropical fish don't follow the normal naming system, and instead, reference real-life fish species. Apart from these names, these types of fish aren't different from regular tropical fish in terms of design or behavior.

These varieties are:

Jeb stated that there may be a "capacitor" in Minecraft.
27 December 2012Dinnerbone released pictures of the first version of the "comparator", stating it was a replacement for the "capacitor" idea which has variable, alternate inputs.
2 January 2013Dinnerbone released one more picture of the comparator. The picture itself showing a digital-to-analogue converter, using the comparator as the main block.

A '''book and quill''' is an [[item]] used to write [[written book]]s.

{{LootChestItem|book-and-quill}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Writing ===

By pressing {{control|use item}} or long pressing screen anywhere{{only|bedrock}} while holding a book and quill in their hand, the [[player]] can open a text editor GUI.

Using this GUI, the player can write a single book up to 100{{only|java}} or 50{{only|bedrock}} pages long, with up to 798 characters per page. The player can write up to 79,800{{only|java}} or 12,800{{only|bedrock}} characters inside the entire book. No page may be longer than 14 lines and each line can have a width of 114 pixels (see pixel width of each character [[Language#Font|here]]). 

The player has the ability to copy and paste into books. However, the paste does not work if the text being pasted is longer than a single page. Most Unicode characters are available in books, and they may be pasted in without issue.

In singleplayer, the world pauses while a book is being edited.{{only|java}}

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a book and quill or a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15. This is why lecterns are listed in the "redstone" tab in the [[creative inventory]].

=== Formatting codes ===
{{main|Formatting codes}}
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}

Text in a book can be styled using codes starting with the {{key|§}} character (section sign).
* {{key|§}} + {{key|k}} creates randomly changing characters.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|l}} creates bold text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|m}} creates strikethrough text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|n}} creates underlined text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|o}} creates italic text.
* {{key|§}} + {{key|0}} – {{key|f}} (hexadecimal) creates colored text. 
* {{key|§}} + {{key|r}} resets any of the previous styles so text after it appears normally.

If the [[player]] uses multiple codes, and continue typing past the end of a line, the next line exhibits only the last formatting code used.

=== Signing ===

Books can be signed by pressing the "Sign" button while in the interface. {{IN|java}}, when signed, a book bears the name of the player who wrote it and a title chosen upon signing. {{IN|bedrock}}, the book doesn't display the name of the player as the author; instead, the author can be any text the player wants. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again – it has turned into a [[written book]].

Special characters can be used in the title, if typed from a keyboard that supports them. Alt codes do not work, and the {{key|§}} character cannot be typed even using a keyboard that implements it, meaning titles cannot be colored or formatted in-game. However, on Linux using the compose key to produce special characters does work.

The title of the book can be up to 16 characters long, and the player cannot paste into a title. A "workaround" for the 16-character limitation is to manually rename the book at an [[Anvil#Renaming|anvil]], which always costs 1 [[Experience|experience level]]. This can be done with either a written book or a book and quill – both versions will always display the changed name. If a custom name is removed from a written book, it will revert back to the title it was given during the signing process.

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

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s buy 2 books and quills for one [[emerald]]. Book and quill is offered in two item slots due to being non-stackable.

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a 50% chance to buy 2 books and quills for one emerald. The amount of books and quills needed is supposed to be 2, but due to the item being non-stackable, only one is needed for the trade.<ref>{{bug|MC-248042||Librarian's book and quill trade is always discounted to 1 since books are unstackable}}</ref>

'''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'".

A '''poisonous potato''' is a type of [[potato]] that can [[poison]] the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

The poisonous potato is a rare [[drop]] when harvesting (destroying) [[potato|potato crops]]; a fully grown plant has a 2% chance of dropping one in addition to the 2-5 regular potatoes.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|poisonous-potato}}

== Usage ==
Poisonous potatoes cannot be planted on [[farmland]] or [[Baked Potato|baked]]. They also have no use with the [[composter]].<ref>{{bug|MC-142373|resolution=WAI}}</ref>

=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}
To eat a poisonous potato, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] and has a 60% chance of applying 5 seconds of [[Poison]] II, draining {{hp|4|poisoned=1}} points of [[health]].
Interestingly, a poisonous potato actually restores double the hunger and saturation than a normal, unpoisoned potato. (A normal potato gives {{hunger|1}} hunger and 0.6 saturation points.)

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.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A1= Stick
|B1= Stick
|C1= Stick  
|B2= Stick
|A3= Stick
|B3= Smooth Stone Slab
|C3= Stick
|Output= Armor Stand
|type=Decoration block
}}

=== 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 ==
{{edition|java}}:<br>
Armor stands use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

== 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.

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

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

|type=Miscellaneous
}}

== Usage ==

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

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

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

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

A '''firework rocket''' is an [[item]] (and [[entity]]) used for creating decorative explosions, boosting when flying with [[elytra]], and loading into a [[crossbow]] as ammunition.

== Obtaining  ==

Fireworks can be obtained by crafting. {{IN|java}}, a firework with no explosion effect is available on the [[Creative]] inventory and can be crafted as shown below. {{IN|bedrock}}, fireworks with the different base colors or no explosion are available in the Creative inventory.

Up to seven firework stars can be used by using firework stars instead of additional gunpowder. All firework stars explode almost simultaneously when the rocket detonates.
|type=Miscellaneous
|foot=1
}}

== Usage ==

=== Launching fireworks ===
To launch a firework rocket, {{control|use}} its item on a block. They can also be launched from [[dispenser]]s and [[crossbow]]s. If shot from a [[Multishot]] [[crossbow]], then 3 rockets fire with the same effects.

=== Elytra ===
{{control|Using}} a firework rocket while flying with [[elytra]] propels the player in the direction they are facing. The duration of the speed boost depends on the flight duration of the rocket. If the rocket is equipped with a firework star of any kind, the player takes damage when it explodes.

=== Crossbow ===
A firework rocket can be used as ammunition for [[crossbow]]s, although it deals [[damage]] only if it has an [[explosion]] effect. A higher flight duration gives the firework rocket a longer range, and more damage is added per firework star. The [[Piercing]] enchantment has no effect on firework rockets shot from a crossbow.

{{IN|java}}, if a firework rocket shot from a [[crossbow]] hits an [[entity]], the rocket instantly [[explosion|explodes]], no matter the flight duration. Attempting to do this {{in|bedrock}}, however, results in the firework passing through the entity,<ref>[[bugtracker:MCPE-52675|MCPE-52675]]</ref> so the [[player]] must plan where to aim.

== Behavior ==
{{see also|Firework Star#Effects}}

Once launched, fireworks fly out vertically, with random horizontal offset up to 5 blocks. {{IN|bedrock|java}}, fireworks can fly in any of the 6 directions a dispenser can point. After [[#Duration and direction|some time]], the firework explodes into a colorful explosion based on the effects of the [[firework star]]s added upon crafting, or no explosion if no firework star was used. If multiple firework stars were added to the rocket upon crafting, they all explode simultaneously.

The explosion of a firework rocket deals damage to mobs and players that are within 5 blocks and not obstructed by [[solid block]]s. The maximum damage of a rocket with one firework star is {{hp|7}}, with the damage decreasing with distance. Each additional firework star on the rocket adds {{hp|2}} points of damage, for a maximum damage of {{hp|19}} with 7 stars. Using commands to add additional firework stars results in more damage. The damage dealt is unaffected by any other ingredients used. The explosion does not destroy end crystals nor damage the Ender dragon, but does destroy armor stands.

There is a delay between the detonation and the player hearing the sound, emulating real fireworks, but this sound travels much more slowly than in the real world.<ref>{{Tweet|jeb|277075644804907009|However, no sound effects for fireworks yet... but everything's implemented, so they can be added without doing a new snapshot|December 7, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Tweet|jeb|277075517226762242|Haha, @igblan , the speed of sound is 40 m/s, because the realistic speed of ~340 m/s didn't work well in Minecraft scale|December 7, 2012}}</ref> {{IN|java}}, the explosion of a firework can be seen 64 blocks away, regardless of its height. {{IN|bedrock}}, the explosion can be seen from your render distance.

If the explosion exceeds the (unmodded) [[particle]] limit of 16,384, the oldest particles are removed before displaying new ones, resulting in severely diminished firework quality / duration. At most a firework should have 3 trail stars, more than that could waste diamonds, firework stars, and other fireworks. Particle counts per star are:

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Particle counts per firework star"
|-
! Ball Type !! Plain !! Trail
|-
| Small || 98 || ~1300
|-
| Large || 387 || 4000+
|-
| Star || 122 || ~1600
|-
| Creeper || 266 || ~3500
|-
| Burst || 72 || ~930
|}

Twinkle effect adds 2 particles to the count.

Like most other entities, they can be moved by [[water]] and [[explosion]]s, and teleported via [[portal]]s. They also cannot move through solid surfaced blocks, upon hitting one, they either move to a side or explode based on the duration. If a firework explodes under a block, its explosion is flattened.

=== Duration and direction ===

Fireworks travel different heights based on the amount of gunpowder added. The number is displayed as a tag on the item's tooltip with the description of "Flight Duration".

The height it rises is between 8 and 20 blocks with 1 gunpowder, 18 to 34 blocks with 2 gunpowder, and 32 to 52 blocks with 3 gunpowder. 
(Note: Using command blocks, firework rockets with higher durations go higher and keep accelerating with virtually no terminal velocity. If the duration is long enough, the firework rocket could reach heights of over 1,000,000 blocks and speeds of over 10,000 m/s in a matter of minutes. Such fireworks with significant X and Z motions speed up sideways exponentially and reach outside the world boundary in a matter of seconds.{{only|java}})

When spawned, <!-- server-side --> fireworks have a vertical speed of .05 and a random small X and Z speed (random value near zero with a standard deviation of .001).  Each firework also determines its lifetime in ticks by 10 × (number of gunpowder + 1) + random value from 0 to 5 + random value from 0 to 6, after which it explodes.  Each tick, the firework accelerates horizontally by multiplying its X and Z velocities by 1.15, and vertically by adding a constant factor of .04.

Fireworks can be made to travel different directions by being dispensed or launched under flowing water. The firework's direction combines with the flow of the water to go diagonally.

Firework rockets without firework stars shot from a crossbow upon hitting terrain elements will traverse along until stopped by a ledge or into unobstructed terrains again continuing its original flight path. Ledges as tall as one pixel high (e.g. from [[Dirt Path|Dirt Paths]] to [[Grass Block|Grass Blocks]]) will also block the firework. They will still vanish if they hit entities early amidst their flight.

==Village Raids==
After successfully defending a village from a [[Raid]] the villagers may celebrate by setting off firework rockets.

==Boosting elytra==
Fireworks can be used to boost [[elytra]] when in flight. Normally, elytra can glide for a short distance, but with the use of fireworks, the player can fly a long distance, gain speed, and take off from the ground. 

Simply using the firework rocket with elytra spread boosts the player in the direction the player faces. It can leave behind a trail sometimes.

Although fireworks with firework stars can be used, the player takes blast damage if they use it in flight. 

There are four types of rockets, with three types of flight duration. Higher flight durations mean longer boosts. {{IN|bedrock}}, the fireworks obtained from the Creative menu have a flight duration of 1, while {{in|java}}, the fireworks obtained in the Creative menu have a flight duration of 1, 2, or 3.

==Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Firework rockets use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

* New Year's Eve is what inspired [[Jeb]] to add fireworks.<ref>{{tweet|jeb|277080498814189568|@SPvs_TheWorld New Year's Eve|December 7, 2012}}</ref>
*If the player shoots a firework into a [[Nether portal]], it explodes in [[the Nether]].

== Usage ==
Empty buckets can be used to "pick up" a [[water]] or [[lava]] source block by pressing {{control|use}} item on a block of the relevant type. If the empty bucket is part of a stack and the player's inventory is full, the filled bucket drops in front of the player as an item. 

A bucket filled with a source block can then be used to place its source block contents in the empty block next to the side of the block the player is currently looking at, or replacing the block looked at for some replaceable blocks.

One can press {{control|use}} when looking at a [[cow]], [[mooshroom]], or [[goat]] to fill a bucket with [[milk]]. A bucket full of milk can be emptied only by drinking it or by using it in crafting a recipe (like [[cake]]).

A bucket full of water can be used on a live aquatic mob ([[cod]], [[salmon]], [[tropical fish]], [[pufferfish]], [[axolotl]], or [[tadpole]]) to collect the mob in the bucket for transportation to another location. The mob in item form becomes a [[bucket of aquatic mob]].

An empty bucket can be used to empty a [[cauldron]] with water or lava, filling the bucket with the fluid. This does not work with dispensers.<ref>{{bug|MC-165196}}</ref>

A lava bucket placed in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]] becomes an empty bucket after the lava is consumed during [[smelting]].

An empty bucket fills with [[water]] when placed in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]] while smelting a [[Sponge|wet sponge]].

An empty bucket can be used to collect [[powder snow]], filling the bucket with powder snow. Emptying the powder snow bucket places the powder snow block in the empty block next to the side of the block the player is currently looking at.
