The respawn anchor is a block that allows players to set their spawn point in the Nether. It can be charged up to a level of 4 using glowstone and this level is depleted by 1 each time a player uses the block to respawn. Use in the Overworld or the End results in an explosion, consuming the block.

Usage

Info

The respawn anchor is used to respawn in the Nether.

When right-clicked with a glowstone block, the texture of the block changes, and it starts emitting a light level of three. Up to four glowstone blocks can be used to charge the anchor, the charge of which is indicated with a dial on the side of the block. Each additional piece of glowstone after the first increases the light level by four.

When the block is charged, it can be right-clicked to set the player's spawn. Each time the player dies, they respawn next to the anchor, and its charge decreases by 1. If a charged anchor is right-clicked in the Overworld or the End, the block explodes similarly to when a bed is right-clicked in the Nether or the End.

When charged, a redstone comparator gives a signal depending on the number of charges: 3 for one charge, 7 for two charges, 11 for three charges, 15 for four charges.

Breaking

Respawn anchors can be harvested with any pickaxe at or above diamond tier.

'''Horse armor''' is a special type of [[armor]] that can be given to a [[horse]] to wear.

== Obtaining ==

===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|iron-horse-armor}}
{{LootChestItem|golden-horse-armor}}
{{LootChestItem|diamond-horse-armor}}

===Crafting===
{{crafting
|A1= Leather
|C1= Leather
|A2= Leather
|B2= Leather
|C2= Leather
|A3= Leather
|C3= Leather
|Output= Leather Horse Armor
|type=Miscellaneous
}}

Only leather horse armor can be crafted; other horse armor can be obtained only from chest loot from some generated structures.

===Trading===
Expert-level [[leatherworker]] villagers [[trading|sell]] leather horse armor for 6 [[emerald]]s as part of their trade.

==Usage==

Only normal adult horses can wear armor; foals, [[donkey]]s, [[mule]]s, and undead variants such as [[skeleton horse]]s and [[zombie horse]]s cannot be equipped with armor.

=== Types ===
Horse armor has leather, iron, gold, and diamond variants. However, horse armor does not have netherite or chainmail variants.

=== Armor Stands ===
Horse armor cannot be placed or displayed on [[armor stand]]s. 

===Protection===
Horse armor can be equipped to horses either by manually placing it in its respective slot by pressing E while riding the horse ({{SlotSprite|Horse Armor}}), or by right-clicking the horse with it.

There is a gradual increase in the defense given from a horse wearing the different types of armor. Note that golden horse armor provides more protection than iron horse armor, whereas the opposite is true for [[armor|player armor]].

|}
When a horse dies while equipped with any horse armor, it drops its normal loot, saddle (if it had one), and the horse armor.

Leather horse armor protects horses from freezing in [[powder snow]], but it does not negate other powder snow effects (e.g., falling through, inability to jump).

===Durability===
Unlike [[armor|player armor]], horse armor does not have durability. This means a single horse armor can be used infinitely unless destroyed.
=== Enchanting ===
Unlike [[armor|player armor]], horse armor cannot be enchanted in survival mode. However, {{in|java}} Creative mode, horse armor can be used with an [[anvil]] to enchant with [[Depth Strider]], [[Thorns]], [[Respiration]], [[Feather Falling]], and [[Curse of vanishing]]. Other enchantments can be applied, but they have no effect.

=== Dyeing ===
Leather horse armor can be dyed 12,326,391 different colors (using lone dyes or dye combinations) and put onto a horse to display that color. These changes can be reverted by {{control|using}} a filled [[cauldron]] with dyed leather horse armor.

===Smelting usage===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Horse Armor;Golden Horse Armor|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}

===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden horse armor and run toward any golden horse armor on the ground, inspecting it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory.

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

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

== Obtaining ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Usage ==

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

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

Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

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

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

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

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Potato
|Baked Potato
|0.35
}}

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

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