Capes (previously known as cloaks) are extremely rare vanity items and are worn in addition to the player's skin. There is currently no way to obtain a cape on one's own, although there are various client mods that allow players to obtain one, only visible to that player (or in some cases, other users of that mod). On the Console Edition some skins from various skin packs have capes. Players on PC who legitimately have more than one cape can choose between which to wear by going to their profile on Minecraft.net.

Trail

  • The cape texture model is the same as the Elytra texture model in the resource pack.
    • However using the Elytra texture model for a cape will not make the Elytra a cape, as the Elytra entity itself is different from a cape.

Unused MineCon 2011 capes

A '''glow ink sac''' is an item dropped by a [[glow squid]] upon death. Unlike regular ink sacs, it can be added to [[sign]]s to make glowing text, and can be used to craft glow item frames.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Glow squid]]s drop 1–3 glow ink sacs upon death. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1–6 with Looting III.

=== Compound creation ===
A glow ink sac can be created from its base [[element]]s, using the [[compound creator]].{{only|bedrock|education}}

=== Signs ===
[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|150px|An oak sign with a glow ink sac used on it.]]
Glow ink sacs can be used on [[sign]]s or [[hanging sign]]s to make their text brighter in low light levels. This also adds an outline around the text on the sign, the color of which is based on the color of the sign's text. The text does not emit any light, it is only more visible in darkness, similarly to the eyes of spiders and endermen. Normal [[ink sacs]] can be applied to revert glowing text back to default.

'''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.

{{:Technical blocks/Bamboo Shoot}}

== 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.

A '''gold ingot''' is a [[metal]] ingot used to craft various [[item]]s, and also used as currency for [[bartering]] with [[piglin]]s.

== Obtaining ==
Gold ingots are mainly obtained by smelting [[raw gold]], [[gold ore]] and [[nether gold ore]], or just mining nether gold ore, dropping gold nuggets. Gold generates more frequently in [[badlands]] biomes.

[[Zombified piglin]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping a gold ingot if killed by a player or tamed wolf. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|gold-ingot}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient===

As a material for weapons, tools, and armor, gold is not a straight upgrade from iron (except in the case of [[Horse Armor|horse armor]]). Gold has a higher mining speed and enchantability than any other material, but attack power and durability is less.

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level cleric [[Villager|villagers]] buy 3 gold ingots for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

=== Repairing ===

Golden [[helmet]]s, [[chestplate]]s, [[leggings]], [[boots]], [[sword]]s, [[pickaxe]]s, [[axe]]s, [[hoe]]s and [[shovel]]s can be [[item repair|repaired]] with gold ingots in an [[anvil]].

=== Bartering ===
{{main|Bartering}}
[[Piglin]]s throw the player [[Bartering#Mechanics|item(s)]] if the player throws or {{ctrl|uses}} a gold ingot on them.

=== Beacons ===

Gold ingots can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot. 

A gold ingot can be substituted for an [[iron ingot]] or [[netherite ingot]], an [[emerald]], or a [[diamond]].

'''Banners''' are tall decorative [[blocks]], featuring a field that is highly customizable using [[dye]]s and [[banner pattern]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

Banners can be broken with or without a [[tool]], but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Banners|Axe}}

A banner also breaks and drops itself as an [[Item (entity)|item]] if the block the banner is attached to is moved, removed, or destroyed.

=== Trading ===
Expert-level cartographer [[villager]]s always offer to [[trading|sell]] 1 or 2 blank banners of a random color for 3 [[emeralds]]. Expert-level shepherd villagers have a {{frac|2|7}} chance of offering the same trade.{{only|java}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cartographer and shepherd villagers both offer to sell one of 16 blank banners for 3 emeralds as part of their trades.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Illager]]s that spawn carrying an ominous banner{{only|java|short=1}} / illager banner{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}} always drop it upon death.

== Usage ==

[[File:Standing banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping block on a banner.]]
[[File:Wall banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping on a wall mounted banner.]]

There are 16 colored blank banners, and numerous patterns each available in each of the 16 colors. A banner can feature up to 6 different patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing water.

Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground facing in any direction, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location. 

Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so [[entities]] can move through them.

Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a banner for floor banners, or the bottom half of wall banners.

When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block, and it is possible to place it so it appears half buried.

Banners can also be placed in [[item frame]]s, where they simply appear as their item model.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around banners. {{IN|bedrock}}, banners can be [[waterlogged]].

<gallery>
File:Wall banner with water below.png| Water can be placed below wall banners
File:Water flowing around banner.png| Water flows around a banner on the ground
</gallery>

Lava can create [[fire]] in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods). Banners also cannot be moved by [[piston]]s.

If a banner is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when a pattern is added, but not when a pattern is removed.

=== Helmet ===
{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[Helmet|head slot]] in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|java|short=1}}.

=== Chestplate ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}}.

</gallery>

=== Crafting ingredient ===

[[Shield]]s can have patterns applied to them using banners. The shield pattern has a smaller resolution than the banner pattern, causing them to look different or offset. Banners that have more than six patterns, such as Ominous Banners or banners obtained through inventory editors, will be reduced to six patterns on the shield.

{{Crafting

|B2link=Banner
|type=Combat
|description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no pre-existing patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield.
}}

=== Copying ===

Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners. Banners with more than 6 patterns applied using commands cannot be copied in this manner.

}}

=== Map marker ===
[[File:Banner marked map.png|alt=All banners marked on a map, alongside a named banner.|thumb|right|How every banner appears {{IN|java}} on a map, including named banners.]]

{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
{{IN|java}}, {{control|using}} on a standing banner with a [[map]] selected places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and {{control|using}} on the banner again removes the marker. Note that wall banners cannot serve as map markers. The marker has the same color as the banner's base without decorations. The marker is removed if the banner is destroyed unless the map is locked using a [[cartography table]]. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker.

=== Patterns ===
{{see also|Banner/Patterns|title1=List of patterned banners}}
[[File:Spawned-in Banner.png|thumb|100px|Example of a banner with more than 6 patterns, a result of using the {{cmd|give}} command.]]

A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. A banner can have up to 16 layers of patterns with the use of commands. The total number of unique banners is approximately 2.3x10^16 (or 23 quadrillion).

Any color banner can be used; the pattern overlays the color. {{IN|java}}, a [[loom]] is used to make patterns. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the patterns can be made in a [[loom]] or a [[crafting table]].

A banner can have more than six layers of patterns through the commands <code>/[[Commands/give|give]]</code>, <code>/[[Commands/setblock|setblock]]</code> or <code>/[[Commands/fill|fill]]</code>. This only works in ''Java Edition'', as Bedrock Edition doesn't have any NBT commands. Here is an example of a mining banner with seven different patterns. There is specific codes for the [[Banner#Item data:~:text=white-,Item,-In Java Edition|colors]] and [[Banner/Patterns|patterns]] that you have to input. 

<code>/give @p white_banner{display:{Name:"\"Mining Industries Banner\""},BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Pattern:"cr",Color:15},{Pattern:"bs",Color:15},{Pattern:"sc",Color:12},{Pattern:"ms",Color:0},{Pattern:"hh",Color:15},{Pattern:"bo",Color:15},{Pattern:"tts",Color:8}]}} 1</code>

{{LoadPage|Template:Banner pattern loom recipes|Loom recipes|h4}}
{{LoadPage|Banner/Banner pattern crafting recipes|Crafting recipes|h4|transcluded=1}}

=== Renaming ===
{{IN|java}}, a banner can be given a custom name that remains as the banner is placed and retrieved. The player can use an [[anvil]] to rename the banner item, or may change the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command on the banner block.

=== Fuel ===
Banners can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per banner.

=== Note Blocks ===
Banners can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds.

== Issues ==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* With 16 blank banners, 38 patterns of 16 colors each (608 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16 × (608<sup>0</sup> + 608<sup>1</sup> + 608<sup>2</sup> + 608<sup>3</sup> + 608<sup>4</sup> + 608<sup>5</sup> + 608<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 809 quadrillion - 809 with 15 zeros (809,573,616,779,945,488). The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns, or the entire banner, or be duplicated due to the symmetric set of patterns (e.g. field or (yellow) + per pale azure (blue) = field azure + per pale or inverted).
** Not 38 patterns are available on BE, but 40 patterns of 16 colors each (640 uniquely-colored patterns), so the number is even greater. 16 × (640<sup>0</sup> + 640<sup>1</sup> + 640<sup>2</sup> + 640<sup>3</sup> + 640<sup>4</sup> + 640<sup>5</sup> + 640<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 1 quintillion - 1 with 18 zeros (1,101,232,303,249,827,856). This increases the number by almost 1.4 times, or almost 292 quadrillion, despite the addition of only 2 patterns.
* If a banner has over 6 patterns, only the six bottom-most patterns are displayed when hovered over in the [[inventory]].
* The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for [[wiktionary:mojäng|mojäng]]. If [[wikipedia:Google Translate|Google Translate]] is used, it translates to "thingys" or "contraption".
** In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called ''mojäng''.
* [[List of block textures#Banner Textures|Banner textures]] are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner.
** There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner.
** The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side.
** Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent.
* Banners that have the purple NBT+ line in the bottom (obtained by holding Ctrl and middle-clicking the banner, which also copies the NBT [[tag]] of anything that the player points their crosshair to) actually have no difference with the base banner obtained by middle click.
*The Illager Banner in Bedrock Edition is available as a separate item but is just a second variant of the white banner.
**Standard variant of white banner is set to type 0.
**Illager variant is set to type 1.
