Spawning refers to players and mobs being created and placed in the game world.
Player spawning
World spawn
World spawning area. White represents the extent of singleplayer, blue represents multiplayer, and yellow represents the world spawn point.
New players initially spawn within a small area surrounding the world spawn point when the server is not in adventure mode. This area is 21×21 blocks by default, but can be changed by the spawnRadius gamerule in both single and multiplayer. Upon death, the player respawns within this area unless the player's individual spawn point changed (by sleeping in a bed or using a respawn anchor). In addition, the player can only spawn on grass blocks in the world spawn.
When the player loads into the world or respawns, the game searches within the world spawn area and places the player on a grass block. Any non-solid such as string, carpet, and flowers that are placed directly above a grass block causes the block to become a invalid spawn point. If all grass blocks are removed or have non-solid blocks, the player will spawn directly in the center of the 21x21 area.
Upon spawning, the player is placed on the highest block of the X and Z spawn coordinates, even if this would set the player above the maximum build height. This area does not consider the existence of a block to spawn on, which can result in players spawning above the Void if there are no blocks at that X and Z location.
The world spawn point also determines the center of the permanently loaded spawn chunks.
The world spawn point itself can be changed using the /setworldspawn command.
Bedrock world spawn search
In Bedrock Edition, when a player creates a new world, the world spawn point is restricted to specific biomes. The algorithm starts searching from coordinate 0,0 continuing outward until an acceptable biome is found for the world spawn point. Using add-ons, a rare biome can be designated to cause the player to spawn at a distant location, but the game crashes if the biome does not exist or cannot generate.
The algorithm searches for these biomes:
- Plains
- At main plains biome
- Small islands in an ocean (islands are usually a plains biome)
- Patch of plains next to desert, badlands, or snowy tundra
- Forest
- At main forest biome
- Small islands in an ocean (islands can also be a forest biome)
- Dark Forest
- Taiga
- At main taiga biome
- Patch of taiga next to giant tree taiga
- Near beach, snowy taiga, or mountains
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Only regular variants
The player spawns within a 5 block radius of the point selected in the chosen biome, sometimes resulting in the player spawning outside the spawn biome, ending up in a beach, river, or swamp biome.
A search for a valid world spawn biome is not performed for Flat and Old world-types.
Adventure mode
When the server's settings set the default game mode to adventure mode (using the server.properties), then the normal spawning mechanic is ignored and players are spawned directly on the world spawn. This includes the X, Y and Z coordinates, even if there is no block there and even if there are blocks above it.
If the Y coordinate is not a valid spawning area then the server looks up until it finds one, up to a maximum of Y=256. If there is space to spawn but it is in midair, the player spawns in midair, even falling into the void if there is a hole.
Location
There are several ways to determine the world spawn point:
- A compass (that hasn't been assigned to a lodestone) always points to the spawn point.
- The following works only for players not connected to a bed:
- In Adventure mode, the block position players spawn on is the world spawn point.
- Doing the commands
/gamerule spawnRadius 0then/kill. - Entities other than players falling into the exit portal in the End land on the exact spawn point. Items thrown in mark the spot in the Overworld. Players spawn like they normally do, allowing this to be used to perform the above without dying.
- Mods or external programs such as NBTExplorer or MCEdit can also be used to find and set the world spawn point.
Individual spawn
The individual spawn point of the player can be changed by sleeping in a bed or using the /spawnpoint command. If the individual spawning area of the player is obstructed upon death, the player respawns at the world spawn.
Sleeping in a bed allows for leniency in obstruction, in that the player respawns on other blocks near the bed if the original point becomes blocked. If the spawn point set via /spawnpoint becomes obstructed, the player is not given this leniency in respawning.
Natural generation
Many mobs generate upon initial chunk creation. These spawns occur only once per chunk. They are not affected by the /gamerule doMobSpawning command.
Animals
A cow that generated with the map inside a tree's leaves and could not escape, a common sight in forested hill areas.
Approximately one in ten newly generated chunks contain mobs, usually in packs of up to four of the same species. They always spawn on the highest available block in a column. For an animal to spawn on it, this block must be opaque and the two blocks above it must be transparent. The block does not need to be a grass block nor does it need to be illuminated as it does with mob spawning.
There are 2 types of animals: common animals and biome specific animals.
- Common animals
Common animal mobs do not spawn in desert, badlands, beach, snowy tundra, river, ocean, and mushroom fields biomes. The weight is the spawn rate for the bedrock codebase[more information needed].
- Sheep
- Weight: 6, 2-3 animals
- Chicken
- Weight: 5, 2-4 animals
- Pig
- Weight: 5, 1-3 animals
- Cow
- Weight: 4, 2-3 animals
- Biome specific animals
Some animal mobs spawn only in specific biomes.[more information needed][verify]
| Mobs | Biome | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Rabbit | Desert Taiga |
1⁄25 (1⁄5 in flower forests) |
| Red Mooshroom | Mushroom Fields Mushroom Field Shore |
8⁄10 |
| Polar Bear |
Snowy Tundra |
1⁄10 (5⁄10 in Frozen Oceans) |
| Panda | Jungle[BE only] |
4⁄10 (1⁄10 in regular jungles) |

26⁄100 in oceans, 16⁄100 in rivers |
| Pufferfish |
Warm Ocean Lukewarm Ocean[JE only] |
25⁄100 |
Randomness for animal spawning is derived from the world seed, which means that worlds with the same seed always generates chunks with the same animals in the same places.
Monsters
Most monsters cannot spawn on peaceful difficulty. At higher difficulty, most of them prevent the player from sleeping, and most of them spawn at light level of 7 or less.
- Common monsters
Common monster mobs can spawn in almost any biome in the Overworld (except for mushroom fields). They can spawn on the surface and underground. The weight is the spawn rate in the Bedrock Codebase.
- zombie
- Weight: 100, in groups of 2-4
- creeper
- Weight: 100, individually
- spider
- Weight: 100, individually
- skeleton
- Weight: 80, in groups of 1-2
- enderman
- Weight: 10, in groups of 1-2
- witch
- Weight: 5, individually
- Biome-specific monster[more information needed]
Some monsters spawn only in specific biomes.
| Mobs | Biome |
|---|---|
| drowned | ocean(all variants) river(all variants) |
| husk | desert(all variants) |
| slime | swamp |
| stray | snowy tundra snowy mountains |
| magma cube | Nether wastes |
| piglin zombified piglin |
Nether wastes |
| hoglin | Crimson Forest |
| ghast | Nether wastes |
| strider | Nether wastes |
Other mobs
These mobs still spawn if the /gamerule doMobSpawning command is set to false, because they spawn as part of structure generation.
- Villagers, iron golems, stray cats, pigs, cows, sheep, and horses generate as part of the village generation.
- Specific animals spawn as part of specific village structures: Animal pens (cow, sheep, pig, or horse), stables (horse, cow, or pig), butcher's houses (pig, cow, or sheep), and shepherd's houses (sheep).
- Each villager spawns in a house with a bed, and an iron golem spawns as part of meeting points.
- Zombie villagers can spawn as part of zombie village generation, where they never despawn naturally.
- Cats also spawn upon generation in abandoned villages.
- A single witch and black cat spawn within a swamp hut upon generation.
- Three elder guardians generate as part of a single ocean monument.
- A single ender dragon is created in the End when the dimension is created. The ender dragon can also be respawned by placing end crystals on the exit portal.
- Shulkers generate as part of end cities.
- Vindicators and evokers generate as part of woodland mansions and high level raids.
- A villager and a zombie villager generate as a part of an igloo if it generates with a basement.
- Drowned generate as part of some underwater ruins.[JE only]
- Illagers spawn from pillager outposts, raids, and patrols.
- Phantoms spawn whenever a player hasn't slept for 3 or more days.
Spawn cycle
Java Edition
Mobs are broadly divided into four categories: hostile, friendly, water (e.g. squid), and ambient (e.g. bat). Hostile mobs have a spawning cycle once every game tick (1⁄20 of a second). Friendly and water mobs have only one spawning cycle every 400 ticks. Because of this, where conditions permit spawning, hostile mobs spawn frequently, but passive mobs (ie: animals) spawn rarely. Most animals spawn within chunks when they are generated.
Mobs spawn naturally within a square group of chunks centered on the player, 15×15 chunks (240×240 blocks). When there are multiple players, mobs can spawn within the given distance of any of them. However, hostile mobs (and some others) that move farther than 128 blocks from the nearest player despawn instantly, so the mob spawning area is more-or-less limited to spheres with a radius of 128 blocks, centered at each player. In multiplayer, mob caps are shared by all players, no matter where they are.
Every 24000 ticks (20 minutes) the game attempts to spawn a single wandering trader with two leashed llamas within 48 blocks of a player or at a village meeting place, if no wandering trader exists in the world. The trader does not spawn when the player is underground.[Java Edition only]
Java Edition mob cap
Instructions: section
Mob caps are directly proportional to the total number of chunks eligible for spawning. To calculate the cap, the spawning area is expanded by one chunk in every direction (so the default gives 17×17 chunks), then the total number of chunks is plugged into the following formula:
mobCap = constant × chunks ÷ 289
The constants for each group are as follows:
- Monster = 70
- Creature = 10
- Ambient (bats) = 15
- Water creature (squid, dolphins) = 5
- Water ambient (fish) = 20
- Misc = -1
The "misc" category is only used by entities that are not mobs, do not spawn naturally, and/or following different spawning rules than other mobs. As such the mob cap has no bearing on mobs of this category.
In singleplayer, there are always 289 chunks in range so the constant is always used as the global mob cap.
In multiplayer, the global mob cap grows as more chunks are loaded. As chunks that are in the range of multiple players are counted only once, more chunks and higher mob caps result from the players spreading out more.
The number of mobs is checked once at the beginning of each spawning cycle against the cap. If the number of living mobs in a category is over its cap, the entire spawning cycle for that category is skipped. The area checked for mobs is the same as the area used for calculating the mob cap, which is the spawning area expanded by one chunk in every direction. The mob cap count is separate for each dimension.
The check for if a mob can spawn relies on greater than, meaning when no more mobs will spawn is mobcap+1.
Pack spawning
Example of a mob pack spawning. The 41×1×41 spawning area is shaded blue (not to scale). The yellow figures represent the actual positions that mobs could spawn in after checking the environment. Note that the mobs can spawn inside torch and ladder blocks. But they can't spawn on top of glass because it is not opaque. The red cube is the center of the pack.
Requirements for the spawning location of individual mobs.
For each spawning cycle, attempts are made to spawn packs of mobs per each eligible chunk. An eligible chunk is determined by the same check for which chunks are random ticked. A random location in the chunk is chosen to be the center point of the pack. If the block which a pack spawn occurs on in an opaque full cube, further pack spawn attempts are cancelled.
The pack is spawned within a 41×1×41 (that's a 41×41 square that is one block high) area centered at the initial block. Mobs spawn with the lowest part of their body inside this area. For each spawn attempt, from the location of the previous attempt a location up to 4 blocks away from the previous attempt is chosen at random. Thus, the spawns are heavily skewed toward the center of the pack. Approximately 85% of spawns are within 5 blocks of the pack center, and 99% within 10 blocks of the center.
All mobs within a pack are the same species. The species for the entire pack is chosen randomly, but biased on a weight system from those eligible to spawn at the location of the first spawn attempt in the pack.
The game checks on each spawn if the number of mobs that have been spawned for the pack is equal to the max spawn attempts.
Pack spawn attempts max out at:
- 8 Wolves, cod, bats and tropical fish
- 6 Horses and Donkeys
- 1 Ghast
- 4 for any other mob
When the max pack size is less than the number of possible spawn attempts, some spawns attempts will fail, but will be seen more commonly in practice. Based on the number of mobs which have been successfully spawned. If the max pack size is greater than the number of spawn attempts, you will only only get the number of spawns from the spawn attempts. Some mobs have a minimum and max pack size, meaning there is an even chance for any number of spawn attempts between them occurring.
- For Zombie Villagers, Drowned, Pillagers, Donkeys in savanna biomes, Parrots in Jungles excluding Bamboo Jungle and Jungle, cats in Witch Huts and Witches it is 1
- For Parrots in Bamboo Jungle and Jungle, Polar Bears, Squids in Lukewarm Ocean, Pandas and Dolphins it is 1-2
- For donkeys in plains biomes, ocelots and pufferfish it is 1-3
- For Enderman except in The End and in nether wastes, and Squids except in Lukewarm Ocean it is 1-4
- For Rabbits and Blazes it is 2-3
- For Guardians, Foxes, Zombified Piglin in Crimson Forest and striders it is 2-4
- For Turtles it is 2-5
- For Horses it is 2-6
- For Piglins and Hoglins in Crimson Forest it is 3-4
- For Cod it is 3-6
- For Llama it is 4-6
- For Mooshrooms, it is 4-8
- For Wither Skeletons and Skeletons in nether fortresses it is 5
- For Bats and Tropical Fish it is 8
- For every other mob it is 4
For all dimensions, bounding boxes take priority over biome for hostile spawns. This means that in a witch hut, pillager outpost, nether fortress (outer bounding box only when there is nether brick below it), and ocean monument you will see only the corresponding hostile mobs for that structure within that structure.
In the Overworld, this depends on the location:
- Jungle biomes have a higher chance to spawn chickens.[Java Edition only]
- Badlands biomes spawn only hostile mobs and bats.
- River and frozen river can spawn only drowned, squid, and salmon underwater.
- Ocean biomes do not spawn passive mobs. They spawn drowned, and the other hostile mobs. Frozen oceans do not spawn dolphins, but do spawn polar bears.
- Witch huts spawn only witches, cats, and bats.
- Ocean monuments spawn guardians, other water mobs and bats.
- Pillager outposts spawn pillagers, other passive mobs and bats.
- All other overworld biomes spawns common animals and common monsters, as well as slimes, dependent on spawn conditions.
In the Nether, the locations are less varied:
- Skeletons, wither skeletons, magma cubes, zombie pigman and blazes can spawn within Nether Fortresses.
- Ghasts can spawn in nether wastes.
- Zombified Piglin and Piglin can Spawn in nether wastes, while magma cube spawn primarily in Basalt Delta biomes and sometimes in nether wastes.
- Mobs (excluding zombified piglin and skeleton) that can spawn anywhere in the Nether ignore light level.
- Hoglins and Piglins and can spawn at a higher rate anywhere in the Crimson Forest biome.
- Endermen can spawn more frequently in the Warped Forest biome, but not in crimson forest.
- Skeletons and Ghasts can spawn more frequently in the Soul Sand Valley biome.
Spawn conditions
Note that whether a spawn condition will fail differs from the above determination if the game will try to spawn them in that biome. For example, dolphins can have pack spawns occur inside of frozen ocean and deep frozen ocean biomes, but no other biomes. These rules apply to variants of the same mob, such as baby zombies and spider jockeys.
Each individual spawn attempt succeeds only if all of the following conditions are met:
- There must be no players and spawn points (player spawn point or world spawn point) within a 24 block distance (spherical) of the spawning block
- The number of loaded mobs of that type must be less than the mob cap for that type. (I.e. the corresponding mobcap must not be full)
- The mob's collision box upon spawning must not collide with another collision box. A mob cannot spawn inside of anything that would collide with it upon spawning.
- The mob cannot spawn if any block where the collision would reach is a block which powers redstone or is a full cube.
- For all mob types excluding passives, spawns will fail unless within a 128 block sphere around the player.
- Gamerule DoMobSpawning is true
Hostile mobs:
- The difficulty must not be peaceful
- For all hostiles other than guardians and drowned:
- the block directly below it must have a solid opaque top surface (this includes upside down slabs, upside down stairs, top trapdoors and others) or be soul sand or a slime block
- the block directly below it must not be bedrock, barrier or any type of trapdoor[1].
- the spawning block and the block above that cannot be rails, powered rails, detector rails, activator rails, redstone components, wither roses (except for wither skeletons) or sweet berry bushes (except for foxes).
- The mob's collision box must not touch any liquid.
- For slimes from swamp biomes, creepers, skeletons, wither skeletons, witches, zombie villagers, husks, strays, drowned and spiders:
- The light level divided by 8 is the chance of a spawn failing from light level, thus mobs spawn at light level 7 and below
- In the overworld, this follows internal skylight level as well as block light level. Internal light level is affected by thunderstorms

- there is an 80% chance of spawning a wither skeleton instead
- If it is a drowned, it will:
- If it is a slime from a swamp biome, then.....
- The light checks in the general hostile mob check don't apply to:
- Slimes from slime chunks (see the slime page for details), which spawn when:
- the spawning block is be below level 40
- with a 90% chance of failure
- Ghasts, which spawn:
- With a 95% chance of spawn failure
- Magma cubes

- The light level must be greater than 8
- The block beneath must be ice
- The spawning block must be in a frozen ocean or deep frozen ocean
- Slimes from slime chunks (see the slime page for details), which spawn when:
- If it is a blaze, wither skeleton, skeleton, magma cube or zombie pigmen in the fortress external bounding box
- the block beneath must be nether bricks
- The light level divided by 8 is the chance of a spawn failing from light level, thus mobs spawn at light level 7 and below
- For slimes from swamp biomes, creepers, skeletons, wither skeletons, witches, zombie villagers, husks, strays, drowned and spiders:
Passive mobs:
- If it is an animal then...
- if it is not an ocelot or strider, the light level of the spawning block must be 9 or brighter
- If it is a mooshroom, then.....
- the block directly below the spawning block must be mycelium

- the height of the spawn must be greater than 45 and less than sea level (62).
- the spawning block must be in an ocean or deep ocean
- If it is a guardian, then...
- the difficulty must not be peaceful
- 95% chance of failure if the spawning block has sky exposure (details)
- If it is a cod, a salmon, a pufferfish, a tropical fish, then.....
- the block above the spawning block must be water (excluding waterlogged blocks)
- the block which it would spawn must not be waterlogged
Ambient mobs:
- If it is a bat, then...
- the spawning block must be at level 62 or below
- If the real-time day is between October 20 and November 3, then the light level must be 7 or darker. Otherwise the light level must be 4 or darker.
If all of these conditions are met then the mob is spawned.
Notes
- Due to the general block checks, all mobs except squid, drowned, cod, salmon, pufferfish, tropical fish, dolphins and guardians must spawn on top of an opaque block with at least two blocks of headroom, even ghasts, etc. However, short mobs can spawn in a one block high space if the block above is transparent, like a glass block.
- Individual mobs and packs can spawn inside signs, and other blocks that have no collision boxes. However, they cannot spawn on any type of rails or on pressure plates.
- Similarly, buildings surrounded by air spawn more mobs inside than underground rooms because packs that spawn outside of the building can spawn mobs inside it.
- The mob caps tend to be reached in seconds. Because of this, mobs can be funneled into a spawning room by preventing them from spawning outside of it.
- The caps also mean that the faster mobs are killed, the faster new mobs appear.
- Because the caps are checked only at the beginning of a spawn cycle, they can be dramatically exceeded when a large number of mobs spawn in a single cycle. This happens often with squid, which have a fairly low cap (5 in single player) but can spawn in the hundreds in a single cycle, in an area with lots of water.
- If the player's view distance or the server view distance in multiplayer is at 9 or below, mob spawning is severely reduced (or they despawn too quickly), and may result in the player encountering no mobs at all. Set the view distance to 10 or higher to ensure mobs spawn correctly.
Bedrock Edition
Natural spawning in Bedrock Edition shares some similarities to natural spawning in Java Edition. In Bedrock Edition, there are two main types of natural spawns: pack spawns and structure mob spawns. Structure mob spawns are mobs spawned as part of a structure, such as nether fortresses, witch huts, etc. Pack spawns account for all other types of natural spawns, including mobs that spawn individually (i.e. not in a pack of 2 or more). Both types of natural spawns follow the same rules for spawn conditions and the mob cap, however most animal can spawn at light level 7 or higher rather than 9 or higher.
Mob spawning is evaluated for every chunk within a 6 chunk cylindrical radius of the player that is ticked; if the simulation distance is smaller than 6 chunks, then only chunks within the simulation distance can spawn mobs. There is a 1⁄200 chance of the mob spawning algorithm attempting to run per chunk, per-tick.
Bedrock Edition mob cap
There are two main mob caps that affect spawning: a global mob cap and a mob density cap. The global mob cap for natural spawns is set at 200 regardless of difficulty. The global mob cap affects only natural mob spawning, and does not affect mobs spawned through breeding, spawn eggs, the /summon command, monster spawners or any other type of mob spawning. Only mobs that are within ticking areas (both those around players and those set manually using the /tickingarea command) count toward the global mob cap; mobs not ticked do not count toward the global mob cap. Mobs can also have their own individual cap listed below:
| Mob | Surface Cap | Cave Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Bat | 0 | 5 |
| Cod | 20 | 0 |
| Creeper | 5 | Unlimited |
| Dolphin | 5 | 0 |
| Drowned | 5 in ocean 2 in river |
0 |
| Ghast | 0 | 2 |
| Pufferfish | 3 | 0 |
| Salmon | 10 in ocean 4 in river |
0 |
| Squid | 4 | 0 |
| Tropical Fish | 20 for preset pattern 20 for random pattern |
0 |
Alongside the global mob cap is a mob density cap. The mob density cap limits how many mobs of each type and category can spawn within a 9 chunk by 9 chunk square region surrounding each chunk eligible for spawning. Mobs in chunks outside a ticking area still count toward the mob density count. The density cap is split up into two distinct categories: a cap for surface mobs, and a cap for cave mobs. Cave mobs do not count toward the surface mob cap, and surface mobs do not count toward the cave mob cap. Whether a mob counts as a surface mob or a cave mob is determined by where it spawned, not where it happens to be at the moment.
There are four categories of mobs: ambient, animal, monster, and water. The mob density cap for each category and location of mob in each dimension is as follow:
| Category | Location | Overworld | Nether | The End |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ambient | Surface | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Cave | 2 | 0 | 0 | |
| Animal | Surface | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| Cave | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
| Monster | Surface | 8 | 0 | 10 |
| Cave | 8 | 16 | 8 | |
| Water | Surface | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| Cave | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Spawn conditions
The following rules apply to all mobs:
- Can spawn only between 24 and 54 blocks spherical radius from the player.
- Cannot spawn if the block below them is air (except for Phantoms).
- Cannot spawn if that mob would collide with an existing mob.
- Cannot spawn on bottom half of slabs or carpet.
Some additional rules apply to specific categories of mobs.
For water mobs:
- Cannot spawn outside of liquid.
For monsters:
- Cannot spawn if the light level is greater than 7.
For non-water mobs:
- Cannot spawn on bedrock or invisible bedrock.
- Cannot spawn touching any liquid.
Pack spawning
Pack spawning happens in two stages: first attempt to spawn surface mobs, then attempt to spawn cave mobs. Before spawning, the mob density cap is calculated based on the 9x9 square area surrounding the current chunk.[more information needed] Spawning begins by picking a random X and Z location within the chunk currently being evaluated. The Y coordinate is determined by starting at the world height and searching downward for the next block of a certain type[more information needed] with a non-solid block above it. The first such block that is found is considered to be the surface, and the algorithm attempts to spawn a surface mob pack. The algorithm then continues to search downward for the next suitable block with a non-solid block above it. When a block meeting the criteria is found, the algorithm attempts to spawn a cave mob pack at that block location. Cave spawn attempts continue until the Y coordinate reaches the world bottom, and do not stop even if a cave pack was spawned.
Surface and cave pack spawn attempts then go through the following steps to figure out what mob to spawn and how many:
- Picks a random mob.
- If the current spawn location is in a liquid, pick a random water mob.
- If the light level is greater than 7, there are no other blocks above the current location, and the current location is a grass block, pick a random animal mob.
- Otherwise, spawn a monster mob.
- Picks a random number of mobs to spawn in the pack. Each mob can have its own min and max pack size, and the pack size can depend on difficulty.
- Make sure the spawn location has suitable spawn conditions.
- Limit the number of mobs spawning based on the global mob cap. No mobs spawn if the mob count already meets or exceeds the mob cap.
- For each mob to spawn, check that spawning it would not exceed the mob density cap.
- If spawning the mob would not exceed the mob density cap, then the probability of a mob spawning can be calculated using the formula:
(mob density cap - current mob density count) / mob density cap
- If spawning the mob would not exceed the mob density cap, then the probability of a mob spawning can be calculated using the formula:
- Finally, attempt to spawn the mob in the world.
- Spawning the mob can fail; for example, if spawning it would cause it to spawn inside of a block or part of a wall.
Other types of spawning
- Cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, mooshrooms, villagers, ocelots, wolves, horses, llamas, donkeys, rabbits, pandas, cats, foxes, turtles, bees, striders, and hoglins can breed. All of these require a player to breed them except for villagers.
- A thrown egg will spawn chickens. See: Egg Chicken Spawning
- A snow golem, iron golem, or wither can be made to spawn if a player builds the proper structure out of blocks. Iron golems can also spawn in sufficiently populous villages. See their respective pages for full details.
- An infested block spawns a silverfish if broken, or if a nearby silverfish is attacked.
- Zombies can spawn in large groups in villages at midnight if the player is within the village, ignoring some of the usual restrictions, forming a siege. The game makes 20 attempts to spawn a zombie within a 17×17×17 area centered on a block within the village's cylindrical radius, at the same Y level as the village center.
- Zombie pigmen can spawn from nether portals in the Overworld. Lighting and player proximity don't prevent this.
- Endermites can spawn randomly when a player uses an ender pearl.
- Killing medium and large slimes and magma cubes spawn more of them, but in a smaller size.
- When a pig gets struck by lightning, it is replaced by a newly spawned zombified piglin.
- When a villager gets struck by lightning, it is replaced by a newly spawned witch.
- If a creeper gets struck by lightning, it becomes charged.
- A monster spawner causes mobs to spawn constantly in the area around it. Spawners may naturally generate spawning zombies, skeletons, spiders, cave spiders, silverfish, magma cubes, or blazes, but may be made to spawn other mobs using commands or spawn eggs. See: Spawner
- Turtle eggs hatch and spawn baby turtles.
- Zombies, illagers[JE only], and zombie pigmen can spawn reinforcement when hurt.
- Trapped horses can spawn during thunderstorm, then spawning skeleton horsemen.
- Zombie villagers spawn as 5% of naturally-spawning zombies
- A villager killed by a zombie has a 50% chance of becoming a zombie villager in normal difficulty, and 100% chance in hard difficulty.
- Skeletons spawn as 20% of naturally-spawning strays.
- Zombies spawn as 20%[JE only]/30%[BE only] of naturally-spawning husks.
- Baby zombies, zombie pigmen[JE only], drowned[JE only], husks, and zombie villagers have a 15%[BE only] or 5%[JE only] chance of spawning as chicken jockey.
- Spiders and cave spiders[BE only] have 1% chance of spawning as spider jockey
- Vindicators, evokers, pillagers, ravagers, and witches can spawn as part of raids.
- Phantoms spawn after player does not sleep or die for at least 3 days.
- Cats spawn based on the number of beds in a village.
- A brown mooshroom spawns when a red mooshroom is struck by lightning or vice versa.
- Patrols consist of vindicators[Bedrock Edition only] and pillagers. In Java Edition, patrols can spawn like regular monsters. In Bedrock Edition, patrols can spawn in any biome except in the End, the Nether and mushroom fields; they even spawn in biomes where common monsters cannot spawn, such as in legacy frozen ocean.
- Cod, salmon, pufferfish, and tropical fish spawn when using the corresponding bucket of fish.
- Breaking a bee nest or beehive spawns bees when broken.
- If a piglin or hoglin is transported to the Overworld or the End, after 15 seconds they will transform into zombified piglins or zoglins, respectively.
- In Creative or via a dispenser, the player can use spawn eggs to spawn most mobs. When mobs are spawned this way, all normal spawning requirements, such as light level and block type, are ignored. (Though monsters other than vindicators, evokers, shulkers, and ender dragon still cannot be spawned in peaceful)
- An agent spawns when using a code connection.[Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education only]
- Any entity can be spawned using the
/summoncommand.
Despawning
Java Edition
Various mob spawning ranges, illustrated.
Hostile mobs (other than villagers that were converted to zombie villagers or witches), chickens from chicken jockeys, monsters, despawnable mobs (including bats, squid and ocelots) (after having existed for over 2400 ticks), and hostile wolves can cease to exist, or "despawn", under certain conditions:
- A mob that has had no player within 32 blocks of it for more than 30 seconds has a 1⁄800 chance of despawning on each game tick (1⁄20 of a second), which is a 2.47% chance per second. Therefore, the average lifetime of monsters not within 32 blocks of a player is 40 seconds (after the initial 30 seconds have elapsed).
- A mob despawns immediately if no player is within 128 blocks of it,[Java Edition only] or 54 blocks.
- Note that this is a Euclidean sphere, not a cylinder from map top to bottom and not a taxicab sphere (which is more like an octahedron). Example: A mob at 0/y/0 remains at least 30 seconds (as above) if the player moves to 65/y/65 (real distance 91.9), but despawns immediately if the player moves to 91/y/91 (real distance 128.7).
- The chunk the mob is in must still be loaded to the mob to despawn. Otherwise, the mob is saved until the chunk is loaded again.
- All hostile mobs (including those that are holding items) in a world despawn if the difficulty is set to Peaceful, regardless as to where the player is positioned in the world.
- In multiplayer, despawning does not occur while there are no players in the game.
- A monster that has been named with a name tag never despawns. However, one created from a renamed spawn egg does despawn as normal.
- If a monster holds any items or wears any armor that was given by a player or picked up from the ground, it does not despawn.
- Chickens that originally spawned as chicken jockeys follow zombie despawn rules, rather than chicken despawn rules[2].
Bedrock Edition
Persistence
In Bedrock Edition, entities with persistence do not despawn naturally. Entities are given persistence in the following situations:
- The entity interacts with a player:
- The entity is spawned by:
- Using a spawner.
- Using a spawn egg.
- Using the
/summoncommand. - Curing a Zombie Villager (spawns a Villager).
- Triggering a skeleton trap (spawns Skeletons and Skeleton Horses).
- The entity is spawned during the generation of a certain kind of structure:
- Shulker spawned in an End City.
- Witch spawned in a Witch Hut.
- Villager or Zombie Villager spawned in an Igloo.
- Zombie Villager Spawned in A Zombie Village.
- Vindicator spawned in a Woodland Mansion.
The following entities always have persistence:
- Ender Dragon
- Wither Boss
- Elder Guardian
- Guardian
- Iron Golem
- Snow Golem
- Villager
- Armor Stand
- Agent[Minecraft Education only]
1.16 Changes
In Bedrock Edition Bedrock Edition spawning and despawning has been changed to match Java edition more closely.
- Almost all naturally spawning mobs will now despawn when they're 44 blocks or further away from the nearest players in a world with simulation distance 4. On higher simulation distances, mobs are despawned when they're in a chunk at the edge of the simulation distance up to a distance of 128 blocks from the nearest player.
- All fish will despawn at a max range of 40 or more blocks on all simulation distances.
- If mobs are between 32 and 44 blocks from the nearest player, they must not take damage for 30 seconds as well as succeeding a 1 in 800 chance to despawn.

A '''spider eye''' is a poisonous [[food]] and [[brewing]] item.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
==== Spiders ====
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s have a {{frac|1|3}} chance of dropping a [[spider eye]] when killed by a player or tamed wolf, but not when killed by environmental damage (such as falling). The maximum amount of spider eyes is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]]. The chance of a spider '''not''' dropping any spider eyes can be found using the formula <code>2 / (Looting Level + 3)</code>. For example, Looting III gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance of not dropping any spider eyes. All other amounts have an equal chance of occurring.
==== Witches ====
[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–6 spider eyes upon death. This is increased by 3 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0-15 spider eyes.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|spider-eye}}
== Usage ==
=== Food ===
When [[Food|eaten]], a spider eye restores {{hunger|2}} [[Hunger|hunger points]] and 3.2 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation points]], giving a nourishment value of 1.6. It also applies a [[Poison]] [[effect]] lasting 5 seconds to the player, causing {{hp|4|poisoned=1}} damage, which reduces hunger/saturation by 6 points.

'''Bamboo''' is a versatile, fast-growing, [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] [[plant]] found primarily in [[jungle]]s, which is used for [[crafting]] (particularly [[scaffolding]] and [[Block of Bamboo|bamboo wood]]), [[smelting]] and [[breeding]] [[Panda|pandas]].
A '''bamboo shoot''' is the initial non-solid sapling form of planted bamboo.
== Obtaining ==
Bamboo shoots cannot be obtained through vanilla means. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can be obtained through [[add-on]]s or inventory editing. {{IN|java}}, they are completely unobtainable.
=== Breaking ===
Bamboo can be mined with any [[tool]], but a [[sword]] breaks the block [[instant mining|instantly]], even with [[Mining Fatigue]]. Flowing [[water]] also breaks bamboo shoots, but not mature bamboo stalks.
{{breaking row|Bamboo|Sword|sword=1|horizontal=1}}
{{notelist}}
=== Natural generation ===
Bamboo generates in widely scattered single shoots within [[jungle]] [[biome]]s. Bamboo generates much more densely in the [[bamboo jungle|bamboo variant]]s of jungles, covering large areas of the landscape. Bamboo does ''not'' generate in [[sparse jungle]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-156638|||WAI}}</ref>
=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|java}}, a [[panda]] drops 1 bamboo when killed. [[Looting]] does not affect the drop rate.<ref>{{bug|MC-160006}}</ref>
{{IN|bedrock}}, a panda drops 0-2 bamboo when killed. Looting increases the drop by 1 per level.
=== Fishing ===
Bamboo can be found while [[fishing]] in [[jungle]] [[biome]]s as a junk [[item]].
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|bamboo}}
== Usage ==
When broken, any bamboo [[block]] placed or grown above it is also broken. A bamboo block drops itself as an [[item]] if a [[piston]] pushes it or moves a block into its space. When bamboo is first placed as a shoot it's not solid and can be destroyed by water flowing into it. After growing at least one block taller it becomes solid and can't be destroyed by water. To transform a bamboo shoot into a solid bamboo block place another bamboo on top of it.
Unlike most plants, bamboo cannot be [[Composter#Composting|composted]].<ref>{{bug|MC-142452|||WAI}}</ref>
=== Farming ===
Bamboo can be planted on [[moss block]]s{{only|java|short=1}}, [[grass block]]s, [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[gravel]], [[mycelium]], [[podzol]], [[sand]], [[red sand]], [[suspicious sand]], [[suspicious gravel]], [[mud]], bamboo shoot, or on itself. At default random tick speed (3), each plant grows on average every {{convert|4096|ticks|seconds}}. When [[bone meal]] is {{control|used}} on it, it grows by 1–2 [[blocks]]. Bamboo can grow up to 12–16 blocks tall. The top of a bamboo plant requires a [[light]] level of 9 or above to grow.
Because bamboo breaks in almost the same way as [[sugar cane]]s, [[Tutorials/Sugar cane farming|a sugar cane farm]] can be easily adapted to this use. While water is not needed with such a farm, some spacing is recommended if the harvest is done manually as mature stalks are solid.
=== Pandas ===
Bamboo [[item]]s are eaten by [[panda]]s and can be used to speed up the growth of baby pandas. Bamboo can also be used to breed pandas when at least 8 [[block]]s of bamboo are within 5 blocks of the pandas, making the panda the only animal in the game to have extra breeding requirements. At this point, the [[player]] can feed them bamboo and they [[breeding|mate]] to have a baby.
=== Fuel ===
Bamboo can be used as fuel for [[smelting]]. Each bamboo item smelts 0.25 [[item]]s. Crafting two bamboo into a [[stick]] and using that as fuel is equivalent, smelting 0.5 items.
Bamboo can be crafted into other items to increase its fuel efficiency.
* By crafting 9 bamboo into 2 [[bamboo planks]], 3 items can be smelted instead of 2.25, a 33.3% increase in efficiency.
** {{IN|bedrock}}, the fuel efficiency can be further doubled by crafting the bamboo planks into twice the amount of [[slab]]s.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-94368||Wooden slabs last for the same amount of time as planks in a furnace}}</ref>
* {{IN|java}}, by crafting 14 bamboo into 3 [[ladder]]s, 4.5 items can be smelted instead of 3.5, a 28.6% increase in efficiency.
=== Flower pots ===
Bamboo can be placed in a [[flower pot]], where it retains the design it has in its item form.
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
== Appearance ==
[[File:Bamboo stages.png|thumb|The different stages of bamboo growth.]]
The appearance of bamboo changes as it grows. When first placed, it takes the form of a small shoot, which has no [[hitbox]]. When it grows one [[block]] taller it grows to 2 pixels in length and width and the top block has leaves coming off it. At 3 blocks, the top 2 blocks have leaves and at 4 blocks the bamboo expands to 3×3 pixels. At 5 blocks tall, the top 3 blocks have leaves on them. As the bamboo grows, the leaves move up and stay at the top 3 blocks. Destroying a block of bamboo does not change the appearance of the blocks below it. Bamboo is oriented at a random position in the block that it is in.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* Because bamboo grows quickly (on average 1 growth per 200 seconds), just 500 plants in an automatic farm produce more [[item]]s than a [[hopper]] can collect (2.5 items per second). A single hopper can move only enough items to keep 6.25 [[furnace]]s running.
* Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in ''[[Minecraft]]'', which reflects its status as the fastest-growing plant known in real life.
* While bamboo cannot be composted in ''Minecraft'', it can be composted in real life.

'''Super fertilizer''' is a powerful form of [[bone meal]] that is created using [[ammonia]] and [[phosphorus]].

|}
== Usage ==
Super fertilizer can be used in the same way as bone meal. It produces more [[flowers]] in a larger area when used on [[grass block]]s compared to bone meal. When super fertilizer is used on a [[sapling]], a [[tree]] is instantly grown after one use, instead of multiple uses as with bone meal. Super fertilizer matures crops with a single use.
Note that super fertilizer does not instantly grow a hanging [[mangrove propagule]]. This could be a bug.

'''Leads''' are [[tool]]s used to leash and lead passive and neutral [[animal]]s, [[golem]]s and some [[monster]]s.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Wandering Trader|Wandering trader]]s always spawn with 2 [[llama|trader llama]]s, each held with a lead. When a trader llama is detached, either by killing it or the wandering trader, dragging them far apart, or putting the llama in a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]], the lead drops at the llama's position.

[[File:SuspendedCows.png|190px|thumb|Two block tall mobs, such as cows, also suspend at 7 blocks above the ground.]]
{{control|Using}} a lead on a [[mob]] ties the lead to the mob, allowing it to be moved by the player. Multiple mobs can be held by leads at once, but each mob held requires its own lead.
It is possible to leash the following mobs and other entities:

* {{EntityLink|Axolotl}}
* {{EntityLink|Bee}}
* {{EntityLink|Boat}}{{only|bedrock}}

* {{EntityLink|Zoglin}}
* {{EntityLink|Zombie Horse}}}}
Additionally, [[villager]]s, [[wandering trader]]s, and [[monster]]s other than the ones listed above, can be leashed using a map editor or [[NBT]] editor.
With a mob on a lead held by the player, {{control|using}} the lead on any type of [[fence]] (or [[wall]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}}) attaches the lead to it with a visible knot, tying the mob to it. To attach it to a wall on Bedrock Edition, the player must hold a lead in the main hand.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-108078}}</ref> Multiple leads may be attached to one fence post. A mob tied to a fence tends to stay within 5 blocks of the fence post.
A lead is broken by pressing the {{control|use item}} control on the mob again, hitting the knot, or removing the attached fence post. Leads also break when hit by projectiles. Whenever a lead is removed or broken, it drops as an [[item (entity)|item]] at the location of the mob. However, it does not drop when unleashed in Creative mode.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-79639}}</ref> A lead does not break if the attached animal dies.
A lead can stretch a maximum of 10 blocks. If the mob is able to move towards the player or fence post, it does so. If not, or if the mob is moving very quickly away from the player, the lead breaks.
When the player or the knot is more than 7 blocks above the ground, the mob being leashed becomes suspended.
Most mobs that can be leashed can still be leashed even if attacking the player leashing them, and any attached leads do not break.
[[Wolf|Wolves]] cannot be leashed after becoming angry. Despite this, if they become angry while already leashed, the lead does not break, but it cannot be reattached when broken through other methods while the wolf is still angry.
A lead attached to a hoglin breaks if it becomes a [[zoglin]].
A lead does not prevent mobs from despawning if they normally would despawn.
When moving downwards and accelerating towards the ground, leashed mobs accumulate fall damage and take it if they hit the ground while still accelerating. When moving up or decelerating (such as when the lead is stretched to its limit), the fall distance is set to one block and the mob therefore does not take any fall damage if it touches the ground.
If the player walks into and back out of a [[nether portal]] while holding a lead connected to a mob, the lead remains attached to the mob. However, if a mob attached to a lead walks into a nether portal, the lead breaks and drops as an item in the other dimension.
A lead can be used to remove a mob from a boat without needing to break the boat, if the mob can normally be leashed.
If a chunk unloads while containing a leashed mob (either by the player walking too far away, or traveling to another dimension via a portal), the lead breaks and drops as an item, leaving the mob free to wander around.

'''Raw cod''' is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the player or cooked to make [[cooked cod]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
==== Cod ====
[[Cod]] always drops 1 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 have 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.
=== Fishing ===
{{main|Fishing}}
Raw cod can be obtained from fishing. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the [[Lure]] enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).
Catching cod awards 1-6 experience.
=== Natural generation ===
{{el|java}}{{LootChestItem|raw-cod}}
=== Villager gifts ===
{{in|java}}, fisherman [[villager]]<nowiki/>s throw raw cod at [[player]]s under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.
== Usage ==
=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{smelting
|Raw Cod
|Cooked Cod
|0.35
}}
=== Food ===
Raw cod restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.4 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
=== Cats ===
Raw cod can be used to tame [[cat]]s with {{frac|1|3}} chance of success, get cats off of [[chest]]s, and [[bed]]s, [[breed]] cats, and make baby cats grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time. Additionally, raw cod can be used to heal cats by {{hp|2|mob=1}}.
Raw cod can be used to gain [[ocelot]] trust, breed ocelots, and make baby ocelots grow up by 10%.
=== Dolphins ===
[[Dolphin]]s can be fed raw cod. Doing this improves their trust and interaction with the player. However, unlike most animals, feeding dolphins does not allow them to breed.
When a player feeds raw cod to a dolphin, it swims toward the nearest chest in an [[underwater ruins]] or [[shipwreck]]. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they swim to the next nearest structure that has a chest.
===Trading===
Fisherman villagers have 50% chance to sell 6 cooked cod for 6 raw cod and 1 [[emerald]] as part of their first tier trade.
Apprentice-level fisherman villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to buy 15 raw cod for an emerald in Java Edition, and always offer the same trade in Bedrock Edition.
=== Wolves ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, raw cod can be used to feed [[wolves]], to heal them by {{hp|2|mob=1}}. However, unlike other meat items, raw cod cannot be used to speed up the growth of baby wolves nor used to breed them, thus making it only feedable when wolves are not at full health.

In a Beta world, hostile mobs would spawn in light level 7 or lower while friendly mobs would spawn in light levels 9 or higher. Because of this, hostile mobs had a slight chance of spawning even though it was light due to them spawning in the air where there was little light. If you had a lot of torches down, go down to your mine, then return, you would have a tendency to find your house having some cows, pigs, chickens or sheep running about. | |||

'''Chains''' are metallic decoration [[block]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Chains can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{breaking row|Chain|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1}}
=== Natural generation ===
Chains generate in [[bastion remnant]]s and sometimes in [[ruined portal]]s that generate in the Nether. They always generate above [[magma cube]] spawners, also found in [[bastion]]s.
Chains can also generate in [[mineshafts]]. They generate on the sides of a wooden bridge (a mid-air corridor) when the distance between the bridge and the highest solid block below it is higher than the distance to the lowest solid block above it. Chains here generate vertically in a pillar between the bridge and the ceiling. The lowest block of the pillar, connecting the chain to the bridge, is always an [[oak fence]].

{{LootChestItem|chain}}
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|B1=Iron Nugget
|B2=Iron Ingot
|B3=Iron Nugget
|Output=Chain
|type=Building block
}}
== Usage ==
Chains can be used to suspend [[bell]]s, [[hanging sign]]s, or both types of [[lantern]]s (normal lanterns and soul lanterns), as the chain texture connects to the chain of the lantern seamlessly as if it were part of it, and it connects the hanging sign chains together. Chains do not require a supporting block to be placed whether it is on the top, next to it or at the bottom. It can exist completely free-standing in mid air<ref>{{bug|MC-178791}}</ref> and it can be rotated. Chains connect horizontally or vertically, but not across different orientations (so a chain with N orientation does not connect to a chain with E orientation in the adjacent block).
Horizontal chains one block above a surface may be walked over. Horizontal chains two blocks above a surface prevent players from traveling past them. Vertical chains block travel if targeted directly, but may be skirted.
Precision is required, but chains can be walked on, allowing for inconspicuous, although somewhat costly, bridges.
Chains can be pushed by [[piston]]s without being broken.

* Chains do not stick together when moved by pistons, regardless of orientation.

'''Raw cod''' is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the player or cooked to make [[cooked cod]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
==== Cod ====
[[Cod]] always drops 1 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 have 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.
=== Fishing ===
{{main|Fishing}}
Raw cod can be obtained from fishing. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the [[Lure]] enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).
Catching cod awards 1-6 experience.
=== Natural generation ===
{{el|java}}{{LootChestItem|raw-cod}}
=== Villager gifts ===
{{in|java}}, fisherman [[villager]]<nowiki/>s throw raw cod at [[player]]s under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.
== Usage ==
=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{smelting
|Raw Cod
|Cooked Cod
|0.35
}}
=== Food ===
Raw cod restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.4 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].
=== Cats ===
Raw cod can be used to tame [[cat]]s with {{frac|1|3}} chance of success, get cats off of [[chest]]s, and [[bed]]s, [[breed]] cats, and make baby cats grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time. Additionally, raw cod can be used to heal cats by {{hp|2|mob=1}}.
Raw cod can be used to gain [[ocelot]] trust, breed ocelots, and make baby ocelots grow up by 10%.
=== Dolphins ===
[[Dolphin]]s can be fed raw cod. Doing this improves their trust and interaction with the player. However, unlike most animals, feeding dolphins does not allow them to breed.
When a player feeds raw cod to a dolphin, it swims toward the nearest chest in an [[underwater ruins]] or [[shipwreck]]. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they swim to the next nearest structure that has a chest.
===Trading===
Fisherman villagers have 50% chance to sell 6 cooked cod for 6 raw cod and 1 [[emerald]] as part of their first tier trade.
Apprentice-level fisherman villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to buy 15 raw cod for an emerald in Java Edition, and always offer the same trade in Bedrock Edition.
=== Wolves ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, raw cod can be used to feed [[wolves]], to heal them by {{hp|2|mob=1}}. However, unlike other meat items, raw cod cannot be used to speed up the growth of baby wolves nor used to breed them, thus making it only feedable when wolves are not at full health.

'''Snowballs''' are throwable combat items that hit but do not damage most [[Mob|mobs]] on impact.
== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Snow farming}}
=== Mining ===
A [[shovel]] without the [[Silk Touch]] enchantment can get 4 snowballs by breaking a [[snow block]], and 1–8 snowballs by breaking or blasting [[snow layer]]s – one per layer. The [[Fortune]] enchantment does not affect these amounts.
{{IN|bedrock}}, snowballs are dropped from snow layers even when mined with a Silk Touch shovel.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-59729||Snow layers don't drop themselves when mined with a silk touch enchanted shovel}}</ref>
==== Explosions ====
Creeper and TNT [[explosion]]s leave snowballs in the resulting debris field if near snow.
==== Ravagers ====
{{IN|BE}}, Ravagers destroy snow layers, dropping snowballs.
==== Pistons ====
{{IN|BE}}, a block or piston head pushed into the position of snow layers destroys the snow layers, dropping snowballs. 1-3 layers drops 1 snowball, 4-5 layers drops 2 snowballs, 6-7 layers drops 3 snowballs and 8 layers drops 4 snowballs.
=== Mob loot ===
[[Snow golem]]s drop 0–15 snowballs upon death, unaffected by [[Looting]].
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|snowball}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Combat ===
[[File:Throwing a snowball on a pig.gif|300px|thumbnail|right|Throwing a snowball on a pig animation.]]
Snowballs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. There is no charging time or cooldown for firing them,{{Until|java Combat Tests}} meaning they can be thrown as fast as the player can click.
Like other projectiles, snowballs are affected by gravity: their range is the same as those of [[egg]]s and [[ender pearl]]s, less than that of [[arrow]]s fired from [[bow]]s, and more than that of [[splash potion]]s. In [[Bedrock Edition]], players will receive damage and will be knockbacked.
Snowballs deal {{hp|3}} each to [[blaze]]s but they deal no damage to other mobs. Mobs still receive knockback and act the same as if they were being damaged (for example, [[zombified piglin]]s who are hit by snowballs become aggressive). Players {{in|BE}} receive knockback, while players {{in|JE}} are unaffected.<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>{{Until|java Combat Tests}}
When fighting the [[ender dragon]], [[end crystal]]s are able to be destroyed by snowballs being thrown at them.
Snowball, like other projectiles, can be used to distract the [[warden]]. A warden walks towards the location where the snowball lands to inspect it, giving the player time to escape. However, if snowballs are fired too frequently (at least twice in 5 seconds), the warden walks straight to the player instead.
In the new versions they can hit players but just only in bedrock
=== Dispenser ===
Snowballs can be fired from [[dispenser]]s.
== Sounds ==

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

'''Splash potions''' are a variant of [[potion]]s that can be thrown.
== Obtaining ==
=== Brewing ===
{{main|Brewing}}
{{brewing
|Gunpowder
|Any Splash Potion
|base= Any Potion
}}
Splash potions are brewed by adding gunpowder to a normal potion, including uncraftable potions of luck{{only|java|short=1}} and decay{{only|be|short=1}}.
=== Natural generation ===
One splash potion of weakness can be found in a [[brewing stand]] inside an [[igloo]] basement.
=== Filling bottles ===
Using a glass bottle on a [[cauldron]] that contains splash potion turns it into a bottle of that splash potion, this also removes {{frac|1|3}} of the cauldron's content.{{only|bedrock}}
=== Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s have a 1.74% chance of [[barter]]ing a splash potion of Fire Resistance when given a [[gold ingot]].
{{anchor|Area of effect}} <!-- compatibility anchor -->
== Usage ==
===Brewing===
{{Brewing
|Dragon's Breath
|Any Lingering Potion
|ingredients=[[Dragon's Breath|Dragon's breath]] + <br>any splash potion
}}
[[Lingering potions]] are brewed by adding dragon's breath to a splash potion.
===Using===
Splash potions are thrown by {{control|using}} them. On impact they explode, applying [[status effect]]s to nearby entities. When thrown by the player, they have a range of 8 blocks if thrown at the best angle. The bottle is lost, unlike drinkable [[potion]]s. Entities within an 8.25×8.25×4.25 cuboid centered on the thrown potion at impact and within 4 blocks euclidean distance of the thrown potion<ref group="n">Specifically its lower-north-west corner; the potion entity like most thrown entities is 0.25×0.25×0.25 blocks.</ref> at impact are affected.
{{IN|Bedrock}}, splash potions' effects have only three-fourths of the duration of the drinkable form. {{IN|Java}}, splash and drinkable forms have the same duration.
If the potion directly collides with an entity, the entity gets the full duration and potency of the effect. Otherwise, the farther away the entity is from the center of the impact, the lesser the imbued effect. For instant effects (i.e. Healing or Harming), the potency of the effect reduces linearly from 100% on a direct hit to 0% at 4 blocks' distance. For other effects, the potency is unchanged, but the duration decreases linearly on the same scale (rounded to the nearest {{frac|1|20}} second), with no effect being applied if the duration would be 1 second or less.
=== Splash water bottles ===
Splash water bottles have no effect on almost all entities, but they extinguish fire in the block hit and the four blocks horizontally surrounding it.
A splash water bottle deals {{hp|1}} damage to [[endermen]], [[strider]]s, [[snow golem]]s, and [[blaze]]s; however, endermen have a chance of teleporting away if hit with one.
Splash water bottles can extinguish a burning entity.
==== Mud ====
Splash water bottles can be {{control|used}} on [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], or [[rooted dirt]] to turn it into [[mud]].
=== Filling cauldrons ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, using a splash potion on a cauldron adds one level of that potion to the cauldron. Attempting to add a splash potion to a cauldron with water, dyed water or a non-matching potion empties the cauldron and creates an explosion sound (but no actual explosion).
=== Uncraftable splash potion ===
{{IN|java}}, the uncraftable potion is a splash potion with no effect that is unobtainable in regular gameplay. It is also available in potion and lingering potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.
It can be obtained in two distinct (though functionally identical) variants, using the following commands: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:splash_potion{Potion:"minecraft:empty"} }} or {{cmd|give @s minecraft:splash_potion }}. It is also obtained any time a potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.

== Custom effects ==
{{IN|java}}, splash potions can be obtained with any status effect using {{cmd|give}} and the tag <code>CustomPotionEffects</code>, which is an array of effects for the potion. See [[Item format#Potion Effects]] for more information, and [[status effect]] for a list of effects and IDs.
== Sounds ==

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

==Issues==
{{issue list}}
==Trivia==
*If an enderman is targeted directly by a splash potion, it teleports away before the potion can affect it. However, if an enderman is caught in the splash radius of a potion not aimed at it, it takes damage from the potion.
*If killed by a splash potion of harming, the death message would be: ''<player> was killed by <attacker> using magic''
*A thrown splash potion faces toward the [[player]] in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontally in third-person view. This is the case for all throwable [[item]]s ([[ender pearl]]s, [[eggs]], [[snowball]]s, and all throwable potions).
==Unused splash potions==
[[Bedrock Edition]] has [[History of textures/Unused textures#Unused potions|unused splash potion textures]] for several [[effect]]s, along with their [[Potion#Unused potions|normal variants]]. These effects are: [[Absorption]], [[Blindness]], [[Haste]], [[Health Boost]], [[Hunger]], [[Mining Fatigue]], [[Nausea]], [[Resistance]], [[Saturation]], and [[Levitation]], as well as the [[Luck]] potion textures also present in [[Java Edition]]. These unused textures were added along with the other potion textures in [[Pocket Edition v0.12.1 alpha]], except for the potion of levitation, which was added in [[Pocket Edition 1.0.0]]. The textures were changed along with the other potion textures during the [[texture update]] in [[Bedrock Edition 1.10.0]]. Strangely, the potion of levitation texture is a duplicate of the splash potion of levitation texture.

'''Bone meal''' is a material that can be used as a fertilizer for most plants and fungi, as well as a crafting ingredient for [[dye]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Bone
|Output=Bone Meal,3
|type=Material
|showname=0

}}
{{Crafting
|Bone Block
|Output= Bone Meal,9

=== Mob loot ===
==== Fish ====
All fish mob variants ([[cod]], [[salmon]], [[tropical fish]], and [[pufferfish]]) have a 5% chance to drop 1 bone meal upon death.{{only|java}} In [[Bedrock Edition]], they drop [[bones]] instead.
=== Composters ===
When a [[composter]] is completely filled, a single bone meal drops the next time the composter is {{ctrl|used}}.
=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s sell 3 bone meal for an [[emerald]].{{only|bedrock}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
{{IN|bedrock}}, bone meal can be also used in [[banner pattern]]s:

Bone meal can also be used on the following [[plants]] to have a chance to increase their growth stage:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Plant
!Action
|-
|{{BlockLink|Wheat}}<br>{{BlockLink|Carrots}}<br>{{BlockLink|Potatoes}}
|The plant matures 2–5 growth stages.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Beetroots}}
|The plant has a 75% chance of growing to the next growth stage.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Bamboo}}
|Grows the [[bamboo]] by 1-2 stems.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Melon Stem|link=Melon seeds|text=Melon Seeds}}<br>{{BlockLink|Pumpkin Stem|link=Pumpkin seeds|text=Pumpkin Seeds}}
|The planted stem matures 2–5 growth stages. Bone meal affects only the stem's growth; it does not cause [[melon]]s or [[pumpkin]]s to sprout from a mature stem.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Saplings}}<br>{{BlockLink|Azalea}}<br>{{BlockLink|Flowering Azalea}}<br>{{BlockLink|Mangrove Propagule}} (not hanging)
|The [[sapling]] has a 45% chance of growing to the next growth stage, if possible. Saplings have two growth stages (with no visible difference between them) before growing into trees as the third stage. A tree cannot grow unless the sapling is planted in proper ground and sufficient space is available. Using bone meal on such an obstructed sapling with no chance of growing wastes the bone meal.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Sunflower}}s<br>{{BlockLink|Lilac}}s<br>{{BlockLink|Rose Bush}}es<br>{{BlockLink|Peony|Peonies}}
|The corresponding item form drops, without destroying the original plant.

|{{BlockLink|Grass}}<br>{{BlockLink|Fern}}s<br>{{BlockLink|Seagrass}}
|A one-block-high tall [[grass]], [[fern]], or [[seagrass]] (that is on [[grass block]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[farmland]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[moss block]], [[mud]], or [[muddy mangrove roots]] (only exception is seagrass, will need to on a full surface)) grows into a two-block-high tall grass, fern or seagrass.

|{{BlockLink|Mushrooms}}
|Has a 40% chance of growing into a {{EnvLink|huge mushroom}} if on [[grass block]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[farmland]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[moss block]], [[mud]], or [[muddy mangrove roots]].

Bone meal does not affect:
* [[Cactus]]
* [[Vines]]
* [[Nether wart]]
* [[Sugar cane]]{{only|JE}}
* [[Chorus plant]]s, or other plants not listed above.
==== Wasting bone meal ====
Bone meal can be used on the following objects in the following situations, consuming it without any real effect:
* On [[grass]], [[fern]]s, and [[seagrass]] that do not have enough space to grow.<ref>{{bug|MC-125642}}</ref>
* On [[seagrass]] that doesn't have [[water]] above.
* On a [[dark oak sapling]] that is not in a group of four.<ref>{{bug|MC-168446}}</ref>
* On a [[mushroom]] that is not on a block that allows it to grow into a huge mushroom.<ref>{{bug|MC-173213}}</ref>
* On a [[sea pickle]] that is already in a group of four and has no valid locations to expand to.<ref>{{bug|MC-127995}}</ref>
* On a [[bamboo]] (not [[bamboo shoot]]) that is blocked in the way.
* On a [[sea pickle]] that is not on a [[coral block]].
* On a [[fungus]] that is not on its respective [[nylium]].
* Any plants that can't grow due to being block by the [[build limit]].
=== Creating new plants ===
If bone meal is {{ctrl|used}} on a [[grass block]]; [[tall grass]], [[grass]], [[flower]]s, and [[pink petals]] form on the targeted block and on random adjacent grass blocks in an 15×5×15{{only|java|short=1}}/7×5×7{{only|bedrock|short=1}} area centered on the targeted block. The flowers/pink petals that appear depend on the biome, meaning that in order to obtain specific flowers, the player must travel to biomes where the flowers are found naturally. See {{slink|Flower|Flower biomes}} for more information.
Using bone meal on a 2-block flower (rose bushes, sunflowers, lilacs or peonies) will cause one of the same type of flower to drop, without breaking the original. This is the only way to reproduce these flowers, since they cannot generate from using bone meal on grass blocks.
Using bone meal on a non-transparent block that is underwater generates [[seagrass]] on that block and surrounding blocks. Sometimes, if in a [[warm ocean]] biome, [[coral]] and [[coral fan]]s may have a chance to generate as well, and in Bedrock Edition, coral (not coral fan) can be generated in any biome. In order for this to work, there must be 2 water blocks above the block the bone meal is being used on, and the lower one must be non-flowing water.
Using bone meal on a [[sea pickle]] on a [[coral block]] creates sea pickles. This generates sea pickles up to 3 [[block]]s (of coral) away, so a 7+ × 7+ block (49+ blocks) of coral may be necessary, to return the most sea pickles per given bone meal attempt (more attempts grows them more numerously, exactly - including the range of it growing, like grass with heights on grass blocks - as coral and coral fans, though those others being non-solid blocks).
Using bone meal on [[netherrack]] adjacent to [[nylium]] converts the netherrack into nylium of the same type. If both crimson and warped nylium are adjacent to the netherrack that was applied with bone meal, there is a 50% chance that either type of nylium is created.
Using bone meal on [[nylium]] causes the corresponding [[roots]] and both types of [[fungi]] to appear on the nylium block and other nylium nearby, with the type of fungi matching the type of nylium being more common. In addition, using bone meal on the side of warped nylium creates [[nether sprouts]] and [[twisting vines]].
=== Farmer villagers ===
[[Villager]]s with the farmer profession can collect bone meal from a full [[composter]], with which they can make their crops grow faster.

'''Torchflower seeds''' are seeds that have a chance to be dropped by [[Sniffer|sniffers]] when they finish digging.
== Obtaining ==
[[Sniffer]]s will occasionally bury their nose in the ground and start digging. Once the sniffer has finished digging, one torchflower seed will have a chance to be dropped on the floor as an item.
Sniffers can only dig for torchflower seeds 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 torchflower seeds on [[mycelium]], which is intended.<ref>{{bug|MC-260259||Sniffers cannot dig nor find seeds on mycelium|WAI}}</ref>
== Usage ==
=== Crop ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1=Crop farming}}
Torchflower seeds can be {{control|placed}} on [[farmland]], where they grow through three stages. Breaking the torchflower crop before it matures drops the seed, while breaking the final stage produces one [[torchflower]] and does not yield the seed.
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 torchflower seeds, but cannot harvest them after they have fully grown.<ref>{{bug|MC-263382|||WAI}}</ref>
=== Feeding ===
Torchflower seeds can be used to breed [[sniffer]]s and [[chicken]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of snifflets and chicks by 10%. Also, if some torchflower seeds were fed to an injured sniffer, it will heal it by {{hp|2}} health points.
=== Taming ===
Torchflower seeds can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.
=== Composting ===
Placing torchflower seeds into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

* The final growth stage of the torchflower crop uses the same ID as the actual torchflower. This causes some side effects, such as the plant becoming offset and randomly jumping to the side.<ref>{{bug|MC-260472|resolution=wai}}</ref>

Trivia
- In older versions, it is possible for the spawn point of a world to be in a lava lake, in which case starting a game in Survival is nearly impossible unless there is water nearby. This was fixed in 1.9, so that lava lakes fail to generate in the world spawn area.
- The world spawn (the point where players spawn if they have no valid bed spawn) is usually a random (seed determined) point between -500 and +500 on the X and Z axis. If the chosen point is in water (due to nothing but ocean biomes in the -500 to +500 range), a second attempt is made between -1500 to +1500. If this fails due to ocean, the game gives up and puts the world spawn in the middle of the ocean (still at the surface) (attempting to play the flat lands preset Water World does this, for example). Normally, a player who spawns in the water does so near the shore because the world spawn itself picked a spot there.
- An opaque block normally causes all blocks below it to spawn cave mobs, but not if a transparent block is placed on top. This can be exploited for certain mob farms.
