Lightning during a thunderstorm
A lightning bolt strikes a tree. A creeper can be seen hopping about in the woods. If it had been closer to the strike, it would have become charged.
A thunderstorm is a fairly uncommon weather condition which takes place randomly during rain or snowfall.
Effects
- Light level falls to 10 during daytime. Like rain, thunderstorms won't reduce the light level below 4 at night.
- When spawning hostile mobs, the light level from the sky is treated as if it were 5.
- The Sun, Moon and stars become obscured.
- The player can sleep in a bed during a thunderstorm, regardless of the time of day.
- Blazes, endermen, and snow golems are harmed by the rain.
Lightning
Lightning is a lethal element to the storm. It strikes randomly across the world, creating brief fires. While most are immediately put out by the rain, it is possible for it to ignite wood and other flammable blocks.
- Lightning creates fire where it strikes. While the accompanying rain usually puts out the fires before they spread, overhangs that block rain can allow fire spread. Netherrack lit by lightning will not be extinguished by rain.
- Thunder can be heard by the player up to 160,000 blocks away from where the lightning strikes, but it can only strike in loaded chunks. In multiplayer, lightning can strike in chunks that are farther away because other players can load the chunks.
- Lightning will light up the sky and the world of any player within a 512 block radius. This does not affect shadows caused by blocks.
- Partial blocks (such as redstone, torches, and snow cover) are not directly affected by lightning.
- Most entities struck by lightning are dealt 5


damage, and are set on fire which may cause additional damage.
- Items dropped during the lightning strike will frequently be destroyed by lightning.
Lightning mechanics
For each loaded chunk, every tick there is a 1⁄100,000 chance of an attempted lightning strike while it is thunderstorming.
When lightning is to strike, random X and Z coordinates within the chunk are chosen, and the block just above the highest block that is liquid or blocks movement is chosen for the lightning strike. Then if there are any living entities that can see the sky in a 3×3×h region from 3 below the target block up to the world height, one such entity is selected at random and the lightning target is moved to the block the entity is standing in.
The target block is checked again for the following conditions:
- Target block can see sky.
- Rain (not snow) is falling in the target block.
If these conditions pass, lightning strikes.
When lightning strikes, all entities within a 6×6×12 region horizontally centered on the northwest corner of the target block with the bottom edge 3 below the target block are struck by lightning. Multiple passes are made over this region, so items dropped during an earlier pass may be destroyed during a subsequent pass; damage immunity usually prevents struck mobs from taking more than 5![]()
![]()
damage.

1.5Tropical fish also have assigned names that can be seen after capture. In Java Edition, the smaller text under the item name is displayed showing the fish name, similar to the text that displays enchantments under enchanted items. In Bedrock Edition, the item name is displayed showing "Bucket of <fish name>". Their colors are mostly named according to the colored block names, though with a few exceptions:
The base color comes first, and if the pattern color is different, it comes after that. Lastly, the fish bucket is given a name according to the shape and pattern of the fish:
Some tropical fish don't follow the normal naming system, and instead, reference real-life fish species. Apart from these names, these types of fish aren't different from regular tropical fish in terms of design or behavior. These varieties are:

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 [[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.
|-

|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]].
|-

|The sugar cane grows to maximum height (three blocks tall).
|-
|{{BlockLink|Kelp}}
|The kelp plant grows by 1 block per bone meal used, up to its maximum height.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Flower|id=poppy}} (excluding wither roses){{only|bedrock|short=1}}
|One-block-high flowers make more flowers of the same type grow in the surrounding area.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Fungus|id=fungi}}

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.

== Trivia ==
* Bone meal can be used on the sides or bottom of a [[grass block]], as well as on a grass block with [[plant]]s already on top of it.
* Regardless of if it succeeds in fertilizing, bone meal makes green sparkles. However, like smoke from a [[torch]], the sparkles appear only if the [[player]] has [[particles]] set All or Decreased.
* In real life, [[Wikipedia:bone meal|bone meal]] is used as a fertilizer to provide nitrogen and phosphorus to plants.

'''Raw gold''' is a raw metal resource obtained from mining [[gold ore]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
[[Gold ore]] and [[deepslate gold ore]] mined with an [[iron pickaxe]] or higher drops 1 unit of raw gold. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop an extra unit per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops the ore block instead.

'''Netherite scrap''' is a material [[smelt]]ed from [[ancient debris]], which is found in [[the Nether]]. It is used solely for crafting [[Netherite Ingot|netherite ingots]]. Like all netherite-related items, it is not flammable.

The '''ice bomb''' is an item that is used to freeze [[water]] into [[ice]].

== Usage ==
Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them, similar to an [[egg]]. They are affected by gravity.
Similar to [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.
Ice bombs explode upon hitting most blocks, including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but they do not deal damage, and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, the impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace mobs in ice under water.
While endermen teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs.
Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in [[ice]].

== Trivia ==
* In real life, mixing a sufficient amount of sodium acetate in water does solidify it, but creates [[wikipedia:Sodium acetate#Heating pad|hot ice]] (sodium acetate trihydrate) instead of normal ice.

Issues
Issues relating to "Lightning" or "Thunder" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.
Trivia
- If lightning strikes near a Nether portal frame, the fire produced may activate the portal.
- If lightning strikes TNT, it will detonate.
- Lightning only strikes blocks being rained on, and thus will not strike in dry or snowy biomes.
- The rules for choosing an entity to move the lightning target to are more lenient than the rules for lightning to actually strike. Entities under blocks that stop rain but do not obstruct the view of the sky (e.g. trapdoors, glass) or standing in water can prevent lightning strikes in the immediate vicinity.
- As long as the player is within earshot (with a very long range), thunder will be heard at the same time as lightning strikes.
- Thunder can be heard all the way down to the bedrock layer, even in the Void. Like ambience, thunder is not an indicator of anything but areas that were struck by lightning.
- If the player is killed by a lightning strike, the death message will read [player] was struck by lightning.
- Lightning, unlike other weather, does not have an image file associated with it. Thus, it is coded directly into the game engine, allowing for dynamic, realistic lightning.
- Forest fires made by lightning are rare unless the lightning strikes underneath a tree, where the rain would not be able to extinguish the fire.
- If multiple lightning bolts strike a single villager at the same time, the number of witches spawned as a result is equal to the number of lightning bolts, making it possible, but ridiculously unlikely, to get multiple witches from one villager. This also works with pig-to-pigman transformations, but not creeper-to-charged transformations as the latter is just a change of state rather than a new entity creation.
- Lightning can be summoned with
/summon LightningBolt. While it's an entity, it can't be referred to by commands or selectors. - You cannot see mobs, water, glass, etc., through lightning.
