This article is about captions intended to communicate game sounds. For the pulsing yellow text on the title screen, see Splash.

Subtitles (also known as captions) are a feature which display text for sounds in game. This feature is mainly intended for players who are hard of hearing, deaf or play with sounds off. They can also be used for hearing quieter sounds.

Usage

When subtitles are turned on, a black box appears in the bottom right corner, which lists sounds in the world that are nearby to the player. If the sounds are offscreen, "<" or ">" point in the direction the sound is coming from. As the sound fades away, the text also fades, becoming less white.

All sounds (whether environmental, from entities, block updates or other sources) have their own individualised subtitles. For entities, the entity is displayed followed by a specific verb, e.g. "Rabbit squeaks" or "Villager mumbles". However, the object is not specified for removing or placing blocks and the sound of footsteps.

Subtitles can be configured in the "Music & Sound" section of the Options menu.

{{for|other kinds of boats|Boat (disambiguation)}}
A '''boat''' is a drivable vehicle [[entity]] used primarily for fast transport of players and passenger mobs over bodies of water. '''Bamboo rafts''' look different, but function almost identically to other boats.

== Obtaining ==
Boats can be crafted with any Overworld planks; crimson and warped planks cannot be used to make boats.<ref>{{bug|MC-170868|||Invalid}}</ref>

Boats can be retrieved by repeatedly hitting them until they drop as an item.

[[Tool]]s and [[weapon]]s that deal more than {{Health|4}} damage will instantly destroy a boat in one hit.{{only|Java}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

|showname=0
|A2= Matching Overworld Planks
|C2= Matching Overworld Planks
|A3= Matching Overworld Planks
|B3= Matching Overworld Planks
|C3= Matching Overworld Planks
|Output= Matching Boat
|type= Transportation
|foot=1
}}

== Usage ==
Boats can be used for the transportation of [[player]]s and [[mob]]s, sold for emeralds, or [[Smelting|burnt]] as fuel.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting usage|match=end|Boat, Bamboo Raft}}

=== Trading ===
Master-level fisherman [[villager]]s always offer to buy a boat for an [[emerald]]. The type of boat depends on the biome outfit type of the villager; [[plains]] villagers offer to buy oak boats, [[taiga]] and [[Snowy Tundra|snowy]] villagers offer to buy spruce boats, [[savanna]] villagers offer to buy acacia boats, [[desert]] and [[jungle]] villagers offer to buy jungle boats, and [[swamp]] villagers offer to buy dark oak boats.

=== Fuel ===
A boat used as fuel in a [[furnace]] lasts 60 seconds, smelting up to 6 items.

=== Transportation ===
{{see also|Transportation|Riding}}
==== Entering ====

A player enters a boat by {{control|using}} it, if the boat is not fully occupied (boats can hold two entities). Unlike [[bed]]s, there is no message above the hotbar for attempting to enter a fully occupied boat.<ref>{{bug|MC-161251}} - resolved as “Works as Intended”</ref>

==== Exiting ====
A boat can be exited by {{control|sneaking}} or, {{in|BE}}, pressing down the right analog stick on a controller, tapping the "Leave Boat" button when using touch controls, or {{control|jumping}}. When exiting a boat, the player is placed in the direction the player is facing, or, if facing directly up or down, the player is placed in front of the boat. The exiting player is placed on land if possible from the dismounting position.

==== Motion ====
Boats do not turn with mouse-look. 

With a keyboard or gamepad, boats are controlled using the {{control|forward}}, {{control|left}} (turns left), {{control|right}} (turns right), and {{control|backward}} keys. Using the {{control|sprint}} key increases the field of vision, but does not increase speed as if [[sprinting]].

With touchscreen controls, two buttons for steering appear. The right button or key steers to the left, and the left button or key steers to the right. Pressing both buttons or keys moves the boat forward.

{{IN|Java}}, boats can be ridden against a current, but cannot be ridden upstream to a higher elevation. A boat lift, usually made from tripwire, pistons, and optionally a slime block, can be used to move a boat up. Bubble columns created with soul sand can also be used to push boats upward. These mechanisms can also be used {{in|bedrock}} but are usually unnecessary because boats can be ridden upward in descending water, as well as [[Tutorials/Water-powered boat transportation|follow upward stair-step currents]].

== Behavior ==
=== Speed ===
Boats move according to the player's control or water currents, with speed affected by the surface traversed. Boats move extremely quickly on ice,<ref name="MC-97803">{{bug|MC-97803||Boats going faster on ice than in water|WAI}}</ref> allowing for the construction of fast transportation systems in any dimension.

=== Floatation ===
[[File:Oak Boat shake.gif|thumb|right|The animation of an oak boat when atop a [[Bubble Column|bubble column]].]]
A boat floats atop still or flowing water. {{IN|java}}, a boat sinks if it enters a waterfall.<ref>{{bug|MC-91206|||WAI}}</ref> {{IN|bedrock}}, a boat does not sink when submerged but floats up. This feature lets a player contrive stepped uphill water flows to [[Tutorials/Water-powered boat transportation#Floating uphill|propel a boat uphill]] using only flowing water.

When a boat moves over a bubble column, it begins to shake. If the bubbles are caused by a [[Magma Block|magma block]], all passengers are expelled and the boat sinks.

{{IN|java}}, a sunken boat cannot be re-floated until a bubble column pushes it up or it is broken by the player. {{IN|bedrock}}, a boat resumes floating when it emerges from the currents keeping it down, or when the bubble column is blocked or removed.

[[Dolphin]]s chase players riding a boat in motion, occasionally bumping the boat, causing it to shake briefly.

=== Destruction ===
As boats are [[Entity|entities]], they have [[health]]. Boats effectively have just over {{hp|4}} (exactly 4 damage is not quite enough to destroy a boat), and regenerate {{frac|1|10}} per game tick. 

Boats can be destroyed by explosions, fire and lava (but not magma blocks), cactus, and by being punched by mobs, such as [[Drowned]]. Boats made invulnerable with commands cannot be broken by any of these, but they still cannot be used to travel on lava because they sink.

When a boat is destroyed under normal conditions, it drops itself in item form. In certain conditions, such as when falling for exactly 12, 13, 49, 51, 111, 114, 198, 202, 310, or 315 blocks,<ref name="MC-119369">{{bug|MC-119369}}</ref> it drops two [[stick]]s and three [[planks]] upon being destroyed.

=== Passengers ===
[[File:Multiple mobs in 2 boats.png|alt=|thumb|Multiple mobs in 2 types of boats.]]
Boats can support two riders, including [[mob]]s. Except for [[Enderman|endermen]] {{in|bedrock}}, a mob cannot exit a boat and is trapped until the boat gets destroyed, or until the player uses a [[Fishing Rod|fishing rod]] or [[lead]] to remove the mob. This can be used to transport mobs, although hostile mobs still attack while in boats. Mobs riding a boat don't despawn{{only|java}} and don't count toward the mob cap.<ref>{{bug|MC-182897|resolution=WAI}}</ref>

A player cannot both move (row) and use items at the same time. It is still possible to initialize item use (e.g. start eating) and row the boat while the item is still in the middle of the use animation. Although the rowing animation overrides the item use animation, the item can still be successfully consumed. This does not work with items that are triggered by the ''release'' of the use button (such as [[Bow|bows]] and [[Trident|tridents]]).{{only|Java}}

Being in a boat limits the player's mouse-look to the forward 210° arc {{in|java}} and 180° {{in|bedrock}}.

Underwater boat cannot be ridden. When the boat is underwater, all passengers in it are expelled.

=== Damage prevention ===
Riding a boat does not deplete [[hunger]], making it an efficient way to travel.

Boats can completely nullify [[fall damage]] for themselves and any players/mobs inside, making them useful for travel through mountains or through the Nether.<ref>{{bug|MC-105103|resolution=WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-149490|resolution=WAI}}</ref> However {{in|java}}, due to a bug, boats can break when falling from certain heights, and the riders take fall damage.<ref name="MC-119369"></ref>

=== Collision ===
A boat has a solid collision box, which means players and other entities can't go through it even with high speed. Falling blocks are also blocked by boats.

{{IN|java}}, a boat falling on top of an entity stops on top of the entity. {{In|bedrock}}, a falling boat can go through other entities.

Riding a boat over a [[Lily Pad|lily pad]] causes the lily pad to drop, although the boat's speed stutters a bit.

=== Mobs ===
Most mobs can ride boats. Mobs cannot exit the boat unless the boat is destroyed, sinks, or moves over a bubble column. However, {{in|bedrock}}, [[endermen]] are able to teleport out of boats.

Mobs can be picked up into the boat when they collide with the side of the boat. A mob cannot control the boat. {{IN|java}}, a boat being ridden by a player cannot pick up a mob. {{IN|bedrock}}, mobs can be picked up by a boat being ridden by a player.

Mobs wider than the width of a boat cannot be picked up by a boat. [[Warden]]s, and [[wither]]s cannot be picked up by a boat. {{IN|java}}, baby [[sniffer]]s cannot be picked up either.

=== Lead ===
{{IN|java}}, leads cannot be attached to boats. {{IN|bedrock}}, leads can be attached to boats, though the lead can break when stretched too far due to boats moving much slower on land.

==Trivia== 
*[[Sand]], [[Sand|red sand]], [[Concrete Powder|concrete powder]], [[gravel]], [[anvil]]s, and [[Dragon Egg|dragon egg]]s drop as [[Item (entity)|items]] when they fall onto a boat that is in water.
*A [[chest]] is short enough that a boat falls onto it rather than crashes into it.
*{{IN|console}}, holding the movement stick to the side in a boat on [[Blue Ice|blue ice]] causes the player to spin quickly. If a passenger is in the boat while this occurs, when the player exits the boat after it reaches maximum velocity (attained after about three seconds), for most mobs, the mob's head may spin uncontrollably. For some mobs, however, nothing happens (such as [[slime]]s and [[ghast]]s). The mob may also get its head stuck at an angle. Thorough testing was done on Minecraft: Wii U Edition, although the glitch was originally discovered on the Xbox 360 Edition.

A '''cauldron''' is a [[block]] that can contain [[water]], [[lava]] or [[powder snow]] and, in certain situations, collect it from the environment. {{IN|bedrock}}, it can also hold [[potion]]s or dyed water. It also serves as a [[leatherworker]]'s [[job site block]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===

A cauldron can be obtained using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Regardless of the tool, when a cauldron is destroyed, its contents are lost.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Cauldron|Pickaxe|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===

[[File:Natural Cauldron Table.png|A naturally occurring cauldron inside of a [[witch hut]].|thumb]]

A single empty cauldron is generated in each [[swamp hut]]. {{IN|be}}, the cauldrons generated there are {{frac|1|3}} to {{frac|2|3}} full of a random [[potion]].

A cauldron {{frac|2|3}} full of water is generated in each [[igloo]] basement.
[[File:MansionJailInner.png|thumb|Cauldron in [[woodland mansion]] jail.]]
Cauldrons can be found in a few rooms inside of [[woodland mansion]]s.

Two filled cauldrons can be found inside savanna, taiga, snowy taiga, and snowy tundra [[village]] tannery houses.

A single filled cauldron can be found in plains village and desert village tannery houses.

{{IN|java}}, three filled cauldrons can be found in plains village tannery houses.

Cauldrons can also spawn in [[trail ruins]].

=== Crafting ===

A cauldron can be crafted from [[iron ingot]]s.
{{Crafting
|A1= Iron Ingot
|C1= Iron Ingot
|A2= Iron Ingot
|C2= Iron Ingot
|A3= Iron Ingot
|B3= Iron Ingot
|C3= Iron Ingot
|Output= Cauldron
|type= Brewing
}}

== Usage ==

=== Storage for substances ===
Cauldrons can hold a variety of substances. Fluids they cannot hold include [[milk]], [[Honey Bottle|honey]] and any food items that exist in [[bowl]]s; namely [[mushroom stew]], [[beetroot soup]], [[rabbit stew]] and [[suspicious stew]]. {{IN|java}}, cauldrons containing fluids are considered by the game to be separate blocks from each other and from empty cauldrons, which does not affect gameplay but does affect the commands needed to place them.

==== Holding water ====
A cauldron can be filled with [[water]] by {{control|using}} a [[water bucket]] on the cauldron. Once completely filled, a cauldron can be used to fill a water bucket by {{control|using}} an empty [[bucket]] on the cauldron; this empties the cauldron. Despite containing water, using a [[fish bucket]] on a cauldron does not fill it with water, but places water against it, meaning it does nothing to the cauldron.<ref>{{bug|MC-129109|||WAI}}</ref>

A cauldron can also be filled by dumping a water bucket on the block above the cauldron. Once the water block is removed, the cauldron is filled to the full level with water.{{only|be}}

It can contain three levels of water. One level of water can be added to a cauldron by {{control|using}} a [[water bottle]] on it. One level of water can be removed from a cauldron, filling a water bottle, by {{control|using}} a [[glass bottle]] on it.

A cauldron slowly fills with [[water]] when [[rain]]ed upon, if starting empty or with some water. This happens randomly, at 5% of the rate in which snow accumulates on the ground during [[snowfall]].

Water can be stored in a cauldron even in [[the Nether]]. Water in a cauldron does not freeze in cold biomes.

Water in a cauldron does ''not'' absorb [[explosion]] damage; make [[sound]]s and [[particle]]s; absorb fall damage;<ref>{{bug|MC-176867|||WF}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-104572|||WF}}</ref> allow [[Riptide]] [[trident]]s to activate;<ref>{{bug|MC-145311|||WF}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-93111}}</ref> or damage [[endermen]], [[strider]]s, or [[blaze]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-106813|||WF}}</ref> Cauldrons do ''not'' deal drowning damage to mobs inside of them<ref>{{bug|MC-152680}}</ref> and [[fish]] act as if there is no water inside it.<ref>{{bug|MC-126819|||WF}}</ref> The player ''cannot'' float or [[swim]] in it, as the water is about level with the player's waist. Jumping in a cauldron does ''not'' produce any bubble or water particles.

A cauldron placed below a down-facing [[pointed dripstone]] that has water placed a block above it slowly fills with water. The same works with [[lava]], allowing for infinite lava generation.

Attempting to add lava or potion to water empties the cauldron.{{only|be}} 


The water in a cauldron cannot be sucked up by a [[sponge]], whether the sponge is touching the cauldron or not. 

===== Applying dye to cauldron water =====
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=yes}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, leather armor is dyed through a cauldron, so a cauldron can hold dyed [[water]]. {{control|Using}} a dye on a cauldron filled with water colors the water, consuming the dye. Different dyes may be added to produce mixed colors. {{control|Using}} [[leather armor]] or [[leather horse armor]] on the cauldron dyes that item the color of the water, reducing the water in the cauldron by one level for each item dyed.

Attempting to add water, lava or potion to dyed water empties the cauldron.

==== Holding lava ====
[[File:Lava Cauldron.png|150px|thumb|Cauldron filled with lava]]

Cauldrons can be used to hold lava. {{IN|be|ee}}, when a cauldron is already filled with water, it empties the cauldron and makes an extinguishing sound. A cauldron filled with lava emits a light level of 15, similar to lava, and burns any [[entity]] inside of it; {{in|be|ee|short=1}}, this includes mobs that do not take damage from lava like [[zombified piglin]]s.

Lava inside a cauldron does not interact with water outside of the cauldron. The lava disappears upon putting water in the cauldron.

A [[redstone comparator]] with a lava cauldron behind it outputs redstone signal strength of 3.<ref name=JavaLava>{{bug|MC-204393}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-104824}}</ref>

A cauldron placed below a down-facing [[pointed dripstone]] that has lava placed a block above it slowly fills with lava.

If a cauldron is filled by lava, using glass bottles on the cauldron does nothing.

==== Holding powder snow ====
[[Powder snow]] is currently the only solid material that can be stored in a cauldron. A cauldron slowly fills with powder snow during [[snowfall]], if starting empty or with any layer of powder snow already inside. Up to three layers can be filled. When the cauldron is full, {{ctrl|interacting}} using a [[bucket]], creates a [[powder snow bucket]] and empties the cauldron. Entities standing in the cauldron do not take freeze damage, and entities wearing [[leather boots]] still fall through the powder snow.

A [[redstone comparator]] with a powder snow cauldron behind it outputs a redstone signal strength proportional to the fill level, up to 3.

Contrary to a cauldron filled with water, a powder snow cauldron that is not full cannot be filled up with a powder snow bucket, as {{control|using}} the bucket on the cauldron instead places powder snow against it.

==== Filling cauldrons with potions ====
{{exclusive|bedrock|education|section=yes}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, a cauldron can hold normal [[potion]]s, [[splash potion]]s and [[lingering potion]]s. {{control|Using}} a potion on a cauldron empties the potion and increases the level of the potion in the cauldron by one level. A glass bottle can then be {{control|used}} on a cauldron with a potion in it, filling the bottle with that potion. This reduces the potion in the cauldron by one level.

{{control|Using}} an [[arrow]] on a cauldron that contains a potion transforms the arrow into a [[tipped arrow]] with that potion [[effect]], and reduce the potion in the cauldron by one level. Tipping multiple arrows at once can be more efficient, and it may use more than one level at once. 1 level of potion tips up to 16 arrows, 2 levels up to 32, and a full cauldron can tip a full stack of arrows, resulting in 21.33 tipped arrows per potion.

Attempting to put [[water]], [[lava]] or a different potion into a cauldron with a potion causes an explosion sound, and the cauldron is emptied.

An entity that stands in a cauldron filled to any level with any potion does not receive the effect of the potion.

Using an empty bucket on a cauldron filled with any potion does nothing, as the bucket remains empty and the potion in the cauldron does not empty.

=== Removing dye from items ===

A cauldron with [[water]] can wash the dye off of leather [[armor]] and [[shulker box]]es, and can remove the top-most pattern layer of a [[banner]], by pressing {{control|use}} on the cauldron with the leather armor, shulker box, or banner in hand. Each wash reduces the water in the cauldron by one level. The water does not become dyed while removing dye from objects.

=== Changing profession ===
If a [[village]] has a cauldron that has not been claimed by a [[villager]], any villager that does not already have a profession or [[job site]] block may change their profession to [[leatherworker]].

=== Extinguishing fire ===

A cauldron with [[water]] or [[powder snow]] extinguishes [[entities]] on [[fire]] that fall into it and the entity emits black particles. This includes [[mob]]s, [[player]]s, [[item]]s (if they land in the cauldron before burning up), and flaming [[arrow]]s{{only|je|short=1}}. Flaming arrows stuck into the side are also extinguished. Entities must reach the water or powder snow in it. Each entity extinguished causes the substance in the cauldron to decrease by one level. If the cauldron is filled with powder snow, it then becomes a water cauldron.

=== Redstone component ===
[[File:Cauldron transmission over piston.png|An example of a cauldron used in a [[redstone]] circuit.|thumb]]
{{see also|Redstone circuit}}

A cauldron can act as a power source for a [[redstone comparator]]. With a cauldron behind it (either directly, or separated by an unpowered solid block), a comparator outputs a signal strength proportional to how full the cauldron is: 0 for empty, 1 for one-third full, 2 for two-thirds full, and 3 for completely full or filled with lava. However, if there is a block between the cauldron and the comparator, the comparator does not immediately update.
