String is an item primarily received by killing spiders and cave spiders, which drop 0–2 string on death, but can also be obtained by destroying cobwebs and tripwires, which drop one piece per block destroyed. String has an approximately 53% chance of spawning in a dungeon chest, where it will appear in stacks of 1–4 units. This is not a practical way to find string though, as killing spiders can be used to get string more quickly and in larger quantities. In abandoned mine shafts and libraries in strongholds, there are cobwebs which can be cut with a sword or shears to get string.

As a crafting ingredient

String can be used to make wool, but this is rather wasteful as wool can be obtained from sheep; it is more economical to save string for making more fishing rods or more bows that can be used to make dispensers.

Tripwire

A tripwire is a small, gray wire that appears when string is placed. Tripwire is primarily used to output redstone signals when attached to tripwire hooks on opposite ends. Upon collision with most entities, a redstone pulse will be sent to the tripwire hooks connecting the tripwire. Tripwire's low visibility makes it an effective way of creating traps. Tripwire (along with tripwire hooks), generate only in jungle temples.

Usage

To activate a tripwire when it is connected, an entity (most mobs, minecarts, boats, arrows, items, etc.) must move on, through or over it. However, thrown potions, some arrows, thrown Ender pearls, and thrown eyes of Ender will not activate tripwire hooks. Destroying the tripwire while not holding shears will trigger a redstone pulse. The redstone signal must connect to the tripwire hook to be activated, not the tripwire itself. Tripwire can be connected to other tripwire for up to 40 blocks. You can connect hooks with tripwire on the ground or connect hooks through air (see details below). When a tripwire connection is formed, the hooks must be placed on both sides of the connection for it to have the ability to be activated.

Tripwires can also be used to help decorate a structure with vines. Placing a floating block of tripwire in midair without any attachments prevents vine blocks growing through it. This lets the player control where and how wide/long they want their vines to grow, or allows them to add patterns into the middle of large swaths of vines. This is particularly useful for high-altitude construction or floating islands that the player wants to have vines dangling from. Without a block to stop them, the vines will continue down until they hit the ground, but floating tripwires can keep them short and irregular without being seen for a more natural look (otherwise the player would have to use signs or other blocks that are conspicuous and/or bulky). This can also be used with carpets, as you can normally not place a carpet on Air, but you can on tripwire.

Placing and removing tripwires

Tripwires are placed with string. Tripwires connect like redstone wire, and can connect to tripwire on all four sides. Tripwire can be placed in the air, by placing it next to any solid block. Tripwire can also be placed on other tripwires. When breaking a block below tripwire, the tripwire is broken, activating the signal and string is dropped. If tripwire is placed on any block with transparency (glass, leaves, signs, air, chests, pistons, glowstone, slabs, stairs, etc.), it will not connect to tripwire hooks or tripwire placed on any block that is not glass or leaves. Yet, when one of these blocks is broken, the tripwire is not dropped nor activated (the tripwire remains in the air). This the same for when one is broken that has another tripwire placed on top. Tripwire has the same function when in the air as if it was on the ground. When making tripwires, Dinnerbone stated there either needs to be no blocks under any wire/hook or all blocks under the wire/hook;[1] however this is not actually the case. Since this "mix and match" is based on whether or not the underlying block has a transparency value, any block with a transparency value can be "mixed and matched" with air. When breaking tripwire itself, it activates any tripwire or tripwire hooks that it was connected to. To disarm tripwire without activating the signal, you must break the block with shears. This will remove the block and drop string, yet will not activate the signal. Tripwire has the hitbox of a slab when it is not connected to tripwire hooks. When it is connected, the hitbox is the same as redstone wire, unless it's placed in the air. Tripwire can be "stacked" on itself when being placed, like stacking signs on signs, but it will still float after removing the tripwire/block under it.

A '''minecart''' is a train-like vehicle [[entity]] that runs on [[Rail (disambiguation)|rail]]s.

== Obtaining ==

Minecarts can be retrieved by {{control|attack|text=attacking}} them for some time. Minecarts can also be retrieved with one attack from a [[pickaxe]] provided the player's attack cooldown is reset. A minecart is also destroyed if it makes contact with a [[cactus]], or if shot with a [[bow]] and arrow.

=== Entity loot ===
[[Minecart with command block]]s can be given to the player with the {{cmd|/give}} command or through the creative inventory under certain conditions{{only|java}}; [[minecart with spawner]]s{{only|java}} are available only via the {{cmd|/summon}} command. Each drop 1 minecart when broken.

== Usage ==
[[File:RideableMinecart.png|thumb|right|A rideable minecart on rails surrounded by wood slabs]]

A minecart can be placed in the same manner as most blocks but can be placed only on top of a [[rail]]. Once placed, it may be derailed by pushing it off the end of the track. After this, it can be railed again by placing a rail directly below it or pushing it onto a track.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Transportation ===
[[File:Steve Riding a Minecart.png|thumb|right|upright|[[Steve]] riding a minecart]]
{{see also|Transportation|Riding}}

Minecarts can be ridden by {{control|use|text=pressing the "use" control}} on them. Once inside, an external impulse may be needed to make the minecart start moving. The player can slowly move the minecart forward while riding it, by pressing {{control|forward}}. If a mob walks in front of an empty minecart, it is pulled into the cart.

After rolling off of the end of a track, a minecart can be pushed around on open blocks. If a minecart is pushed onto or falls onto tracks, it "snaps" to those tracks. When riding a minecart, if the minecart lands on a rail, the player does not take any fall damage. <!--Minecarts and arrows don't interact anymore.-->

Unlike with [[bed]]s, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied minecart.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|161251|Attempting to enter an occupied bed displays a message over the hotbar, but attempting to enter an occupied vehicle does not|date=September 18, 19|resolution=Works as Intended}}</ref>

=== Dismounting ===
Players can exit the minecart by pressing {{control|sneak}}. When a player or mob dismounts a minecart, either by choice, by breaking the minecart, or by passing over an [[activator rail]], the minecart tries to find a safe ejection destination one block away. First it checks the eight horizontally adjacent blocks in the following order of priority relative to direction of travel: right, left, rear right, rear left, front right, front left, rear, front. A valid destination has a block underneath with a solid (not necessarily full) top surface and a space with enough headroom and width for the passenger to fit in when standing at the center. The space can even contain liquid or have open trapdoors if the mob is slim enough, and presence of other mobs doesn't matter. If no valid destination exists on same horizontal level, the minecart then checks the blocks one above, then one below. For a player, the minecart also checks for crawlable destinations. If still none, the minecart chooses its own location. Once the minecart picks a destination, it actually ejects the passenger one block up in the air and the passenger settles down on its own. Under a low ceiling this may cause one tick of suffocation damage. The air drop exists to allow passengers to land on carpet or bottom slabs.

== Behavior ==

=== Speed ===

Minecarts have a predefined speed limit of exactly 8 blocks per second. However, this speed limit does not change the minecart's speed value but instead limits how far a minecart can travel each tick to 0.4 blocks. Therefore, a minecart moving from powered rail to normal rail will move at constant speed for some time until decelerating because its internal speed value is over its speed limit of 8.

[[Powered rail]]s powered by redstone give minecarts a boost of speed. Speed is gradually decreased (due to drag) if there are no powered rails to assist its movement, and an unpowered powered rail slows down a minecart rapidly. The speed decreases at a faster rate when going uphill, compared to when moving horizontally. A minecart does not need powered rails to assist its movement down a hill.
<!-- Is this comparison to real-life physics necessary? - One unit of kinetic energy could be defined as the energy gained by a cart going down a one-block slope and lost by a cart when it goes up a one-block slope. If a 45-degree downward slope is connected directly into an upward slope, an initial height of 60 blocks results in a final height of 40 blocks, a loss of 20 units of potential energy. But if 20 sections of flat track are inserted between the slopes, the final height is 35. This implies that one unit of energy is lost for every 4 sections of horizontal track traveled with an initial stored energy of between 60 and 40. At much lower speeds, much less energy is lost, implying that the energy lost is a percentage of the cart's current energy. The above gives about 0.5% energy loss per section of track. One implication of this is that more energy lost when the cart has more energy, so a gradual slope should allow you to travel much farther distances than a steep slope followed by a long flat section. (This is different from real-life physics, where friction does not increase with velocity. However, it may be an attempt to mirror air resistance, which ''does'' increase with velocity.) -->

Anything in the way of the minecart brings it to a stop. Once a minecart has left the track, it rapidly decelerates within one or two blocks. When mobs touch a minecart, they affect it in the same way a player would, i.e. mobs that move up against a still cart set it in motion.

If a minecart is moving fast enough, it can skip across one block without a track and reattach to track on the other side, at significantly reduced energy and speed. A minecart's hitbox can skip turns if the minecart is boosted using enough powered rails.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|179971|Minecart skips turns if too fast|date=April 22, 2020}}</ref>

The speed and momentum of a minecart can differ depending on whether or not it is empty, and in the case where a minecart has a container, the speed can differ depending on the quantity and type of items inside.

=== Merged minecarts ===

{{IN|java}}, two or more minecarts can be merged by pushing them into each other so that they overlap. Merged minecarts move as a collective, like a train, and can be useful for long-distance transport because while moving in a straight line, they ''do not need powered rails to keep their speed''.

To summarize:
* Minecarts can also be merged by ''dropping'' a minecart on another minecart.
* Merged minecarts do not lose speed while traveling on straight rails
* ''Corners'' in the rails might cause merged minecarts to unmerge.
* Minecarts with ''chest'' (even fully filled) can also be merged and also do ''not'' require powered rails.

=== Distance traveled by empty carts starting on a downward slope ===

This table shows the distance traveled by an unoccupied minecart on a downward slope, with a boost (or no boost). The most efficient way is to use only 1 boost at the bottom of the incline on the flat surface. Using 2 increases distance by about 20% or 1.5 blocks. All distance trends based on the height seem to be logarithmic.
The carts started from rest, on a slope Height blocks up.

=== Collision ===

Minecarts are about the same size as a block (1×1). Because of this, a ladder, door, or trapdoor prevents it from falling down a 1×1 hole. Carts on [[rail]]s also ignore collision in certain situations. A cart traveling uphill, downhill, or on a curve with a block placed in front of it, goes through the block.<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8004|Minecarts glitch through the stop block of a track that ends with a turn or a downward slope|date=January 20, 2013}}</ref>

A minecart that reaches the end of a rail up against an opaque solid block bounces back, but if the block is transparent then it stops. The minecart can even bounce against an opaque block from a standstill if the rail underneath is powered. A player or mob riding in a minecart does not collide with or suffocate in any transparent blocks but suffocates inside opaque blocks.

Minecarts are completely unaffected by [[ice]], [[packed ice]], and [[blue ice]]<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|8265|Minecarts don't slide on any sort of ice|date=January 25, 2013}}</ref>; they can also be destroyed by coming in contact with [[lava]] or [[fire]].

=== Mobs ===
{{missing information|section|some other mobs that cannot be picked up by minecarts}}
[[File:Minecart shake.gif|thumb|right|Minecart shaking due to being on top of an activator rail.]]
Mobs can ride minecarts, but cannot control them. Mobs cannot exit the minecart unless the minecart is destroyed or moves onto an active [[activator rail]].<ref>{{bug|MC-3866||Endermen, Tamed Wolves and Ocelots cannot teleport when in a Minecart|WAI}}</ref> However, {{in|bedrock}}, [[endermen]] are able to teleport out of minecarts.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-31761||Endermen can still teleport out of the boats and minecarts}}</ref>

A mob can ride a minecart when pushing by a moving minecart on rails {{in|java}} or when colliding with a minecart {{in|bedrock}}. It is easier to pick up a mob when a minecart is turning. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[armor stand]]s can also be picked up.

Most mobs can be picked up by minecarts, except [[ender dragon]]s, [[warden]]s, and [[wither]]s. {{IN|java}}, [[iron golem]]s cannot be picked up either.

A [[jockey]] riding a minecart automatically accelerates the minecart.<ref>{{bug|MC-71998||Minecarts that have passengers within them riding mobs can move automatically when not on rails}}</ref> Mobs in minecarts don't despawn, and don't count towards the mob cap.{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-182897||Some passenger mobs don't count to the mob cap|WAI}}</ref>

=== Boats ===
{{exclusive|java|section=yes}}
{{UsesBug|section=yes}}
Due to the bug {{bug|MC-113871}}, [[boat]]s can be captured by minecarts. When a boat is placed in a minecart, the minecart travels faster on rails, approximately as fast as on powered rails. The movement in the boat minecart is glitchy and moving forward with the W key moves the cart backward relative to the player, and vice versa for moving backward with the S key. The minecart also moves on the rail-less ground at a crawling speed, but it does not float in the water despite being in a boat. 

Using this glitch can be far more resource-efficient since the boat minecart can move at the speed of a powered rail track on flat ground and on slopes. Another physics glitch with the boat minecart is the extreme reduction in friction when the minecart is on rails, which is similar to the lack of friction when a boat is riding on ice. This glitch can be done in Survival without cheats simply by pushing a minecart into a boat on the track. This bug is now patched.

== Trivia ==
* Minecarts appear to float above the track, as their model has no wheels.
* If the player views their inventory while riding in a minecart, they appear sitting down in mid-air.
* The player can teleport to another minecart while sitting in a minecart by right-clicking a minecart in their range. This can be used as an elevator to quickly rise up when minecarts are placed on top of each other.
* If the sound is muted in the options while riding a minecart, and then turned back up, the minecart no longer makes noise in the client until the player exits the minecart.
* If a saddled pig is riding a minecart, the player can ride the pig. Doing so causes the minecart to be able to ride freely at the player's walking speed. It is unknown whether this is a glitch.
* It seems that hunger does not deplete while inactive in a minecart (at least in normal difficulty).
* A minecart (alongside rails and powered rails) are used as Steve's Side-Special in the crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

A '''raw porkchop''' is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]] or cooked to make a [[cooked porkchop]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Pigs ====

Adult [[pig]]s drop 1–3 raw porkchop when killed. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1-6 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop [[cooked porkchop]] instead.

==== Hoglins ====

Adult [[hoglin]]s drop 2–4 raw porkchop when killed. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 7 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop [[cooked porkchop]] instead.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|raw-porkchop}}

== Usage ==

=== Food ===

To eat raw porkchop, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|3}} [[hunger]] and 0.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Smelting ingredient ===

{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Raw Porkchop
|Cooked Porkchop
|0.35
}}

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level butcher [[villager]]s have a {{frac|1|3}} chance to [[trading|buy]] 7 raw porkchop for an [[emerald]] as part of their [[trading|trades]].

{{IN|java}}, novice-level butcher villagers have a 40% chance to buy 7 raw porkchop for an emerald.

=== Wolves ===

Raw porkchops can be used to [[breed]] and heal tamed [[wolves]], lead them around, and make baby tamed wolves grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

=== Piglins ===
[[Piglin|Piglins]] instantly pick up raw or [[Cooked Porkchop|cooked porkchops]] that are within 1 block of them, unless they have already picked up one within the last 10 seconds. Porkchops picked up are not dropped upon the piglin's death.

'''Coal''' is a mineral [[item]] mainly obtained from [[Coal Ore|coal ore]]. It is primarily used for crafting [[torches]] and [[Campfire|campfires]], as well as [[fuel]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===
{{see also|Coal Ore#Natural generation}}
{{LootChestItem|coal}}

=== Mining ===

[[Coal ore]] are mined using a [[pickaxe]] and drops 1 piece of coal. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra piece per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 with Fortune III.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Wither skeleton]]s have a {{Frac|1|3}} chance of dropping a single coal upon death. The maximum amount of coal is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]]. The chance of a wither skeleton ''not'' dropping any coal 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 coal. All other amounts have an equal chance of occurring.

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
 |showname=1
 |Block of Coal
 |Output=Coal,9
 |type=Material
}}

=== Smelting ===

{{Smelting
 |head=1
 |Coal Ore

 |Coal
 |0,1
|foot=1
}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Coal}}

=== Fuel ===

When used in a [[furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of coal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), like [[charcoal]]. Coal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[wood planks]] or [[wood]] logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting {{in|je}}, but outstripped by [[wooden slabs]] {{in|be}}. 

Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecart with Furnace|furnace minecart]]s. They provide approximately four minutes of transit each.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 10 coal for one [[emerald]].

{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer and toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy 15 coal for one emerald. Novice-level weaponsmith villagers and apprentice-level butcher villagers have {{frac|2|3}} chance of offering to buy 15 coal for one emerald.

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer, toolsmith, and weaponsmith villagers and apprentice-level butcher villagers buy 15 coal for one emerald.

[[trading|Trade]]s that involve coal cannot be substituted by [[charcoal]].

12w22aString can be placed on the ground as a tripwire. Tripwire was first revealed on Dinnerbone's Twitter.[2][3] Dinnerbone released a video showing him experimenting with tripwire before its release.[4]
12w23aTripwire is now activated by most entities (including arrows), and the max distance has been increased from 18 to 40 blocks.

Trivia

  • Walking onto or off from any piece of string next to a BUD switch, will cause it to update even if the string isn't connected to tripwire hooks. Breaking the block with Shears will do the same.
  • Tripwire has the highest resolution of any block in the game: 64x64. In 13w03a this is tied with the Locked Chest.
  • String is also referred to as "Silk".
  • Tripwire can be placed on top of itself.
  • When tripwire is placed upon ice or glass, its hit-box increases in size and the wire itself lays higher than normal. This makes it easier to see the wire, but it still functions as normal.
  • As of yet, tripwire does not exist in the Xbox 360 edition.
