A sweet berry bush is a block which is used to obtain sweet berries.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Berry bushes will commonly generate in all taiga variants (Taiga, Taiga Hills, and Taiga Mountains) and are rarely found in all snowy taiga variants (Snowy Taiga, Snowy Taiga Hills and Snowy Taiga Mountains).
Planting
Placing sweet berries on the ground will create a sweet berry sapling which after some time will become a fully grown sweet berry bush.
Usage
Growth
A sweet berry bush cycles through 4 stages of growth after it's planted. Its first growth stage is a small sapling without any berries. It becomes a grown plant in its second stage, but will first grow berries in its third growth stage in which using it will yield 1-2 sweet berries and revert the bush to to the second stage. The fourth stage is like the third, but yields 2-3 berries instead of 1-2.
Drops
Sweet berry bushes can be used to collect sweet berries. A single bush will drop 1-2 berries at its third stage of growth and 2-3 when fully grown, harvested is done by using the bush, and will set it back to its second stage.
Damage
Sweet berry bushes have the capability of damaging the player and other mobs. If the player or a mob caught inside one starts to move or jump, they will receive damage similarly to if they're touching a cactus. If standing still in one, however, they will not receive any kind of damage.
Movement
When standing in a sweet berry bush, you will not only take damage upon moving, but the bush will slow down the player similarly to a cobweb. This makes it impossible to jump a full block while inside the bush.

A '''knowledge book''' is a utility item that reveals available [[crafting]] recipes to the player when {{control|used|use}}.
== Obtaining ==
Knowledge books can be obtained only by using [[commands]], as it is not found in the [[creative]] inventory; therefore, it is impossible to obtain in other modes such as [[survival]] and [[adventure]] except with commands.
For example, to give oneself a knowledge book that reveals the recipes for [[bucket]]s and [[flower pot]]s, use: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:knowledge_book{Recipes:["minecraft:bucket", "minecraft:flower_pot"]} }}.
== Usage ==
Knowledge books are used to reveal recipes to the player who uses it, by adding it to their [[recipe book]]. Using a knowledge book consumes it, removing it from the player's inventory.
Knowledge books are especially useful to mapmakers in conjunction with {{cmd|gamerule doLimitedCrafting true}}, because then any item is craftable only if its recipe is unlocked first.

A '''poisonous potato''' is a type of [[potato]] that can [[poison]] the [[player]].
== Obtaining ==
The poisonous potato is a rare [[drop]] when harvesting (destroying) [[potato|potato crops]]; a fully grown plant has a 2% chance of dropping one in addition to the 2-5 regular potatoes.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|poisonous-potato}}
== Usage ==
Poisonous potatoes cannot be planted on [[farmland]] or [[Baked Potato|baked]]. They also have no use with the [[composter]].<ref>{{bug|MC-142373|resolution=WAI}}</ref>
=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}
To eat a poisonous potato, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] and has a 60% chance of applying 5 seconds of [[Poison]] II, draining {{hp|4|poisoned=1}} points of [[health]].
Interestingly, a poisonous potato actually restores double the hunger and saturation than a normal, unpoisoned potato. (A normal potato gives {{hunger|1}} hunger and 0.6 saturation points.)
