A '''written book''' is an [[item]] created after a [[book and quill]] is signed.

== Obtaining ==

=== Signing a book and quill ===

Written books can be obtained by signing a [[book and quill]]. After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again. The label does not say "Written Book", but whatever the [[player]] titles it. The title appears on the top line of the label, and "by <''player''>" (the player's username) on the bottom. {{IN|bedrock}}, this is customizable without [[commands]].

=== Copying ===

|type=Miscellaneous
}}

== Usage ==

Written books can be opened by right-clicking (or holding down on the screen {{in|bedrock}}), and display a GUI allowing the [[player]] to read it or turn the page.

The contents of a book are an extra set of data attached to the item. This means that when a book is destroyed, its contents are lost with it.

=== Lecterns ===

One can place a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]].

The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book. On the last page, the lectern emits a signal strength of 15.

=== Chiseled bookshelf ===
{{control|Use|text=Using}} the [[chiseled bookshelf]] while having a written book in the main hand will put the book inside the chiseled bookshelf.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
*When written books are obtained with [[commands]] (without the correct [[Player.dat format#Written Books|data tag]]), the label shows "Written Book" and has the text "*Invalid book tag*" when opened. The book is signed and cannot be edited without commands.
*Commands that were added to a written book using serialized JSON objects are executed through the chat system. This means that any command added to a written book can't be longer than 256 characters, which is the maximum chat line limit.
*During the 2020 April Fools Update [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], throwing a written book into a lit [[Nether Portal (block)|nether portal]] would create a portal to one of the 2,147,483,645 new dimensions.

A '''diamond''' is a mineral that can only be obtained from [[Diamond Ore|diamond ore]], [[chest loot|loot chests]] and [[Suspicious Block|suspicious blocks]]. It is required to craft diamond [[tool]]s and [[armor]] (and therefore obtain [[obsidian]] to access the [[The Nether|Nether]]), [[enchanting table]]s, [[jukebox]]es and duplicate [[smithing template]]s.

== Obtaining ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Diamonds}}
=== Mining ===
{{see also|Diamond Ore#Natural generation}}
[[Diamond ore]] can be mined using an iron [[pickaxe]] or stronger. An ore drops a single diamond. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop an extra diamond per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 diamonds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops an ore block rather than a diamond. The ore is found at level 15 or lower, most commonly between -50 and -64; levels -58 and -59 are the preferred levels to mine at since they don't contain [[bedrock]], as it starts spawning at -60.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|diamond}}

=== Suspicious sand ===

When brushing [[suspicious sand]] in [[desert pyramid]]s, they have a {{frac|1|7}} chance to drop a diamond.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Block of Diamond
|Output= Diamond,9
|type= Material
}}

=== Smelting ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Diamond Ore; Deepslate Diamond Ore
|Diamond

}}

== Usage ==

Diamonds are mainly used to craft high-tier armor and equipment, which in turn are also used in making [[netherite]] armor and equipment. 

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level armorer, toolsmith, and weaponsmith villagers buy one diamond for an emerald as part of their trades.

{{IN|java}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy one diamond for one emerald. Expert-level toolsmith villagers have {{frac|2|3}} chance of offering to buy one diamond for one emerald. Expert-level weaponsmith villagers always offer to buy one diamond for one emerald.

=== Repairing ===

Diamonds are the repair items for the diamond [[tier]] and [[armor material]], and thus can be used to [[item repair|repair]] the following items in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]]:
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Helmet}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Chestplate}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Leggings}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Boots}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Sword}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Pickaxe}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Axe}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Shovel}}
* {{ItemLink|Diamond Hoe}}

=== Beacons ===

Diamonds can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers then insert a diamond into the item slot. 

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

=== Smithing ingredient ===

==Trivia==
*Unlike in ''Minecraft'', newly mined [[Wikipedia:Diamond|diamond]]s in real life are rough, cloudy stones. The largest, purest ones are polished into crystal-clear gemstones, while the rest are used in industry for cutting and grinding.
*Although diamonds themselves are not renewable, all tools, weapons, and armor made from diamonds can be acquired through [[trading]], and are therefore renewable. Other items crafted from diamonds are not renewable.
*In the April fools version [[Java Edition 2.0]], [[Diamond Chicken|diamond chickens]] can lay diamonds. This does not exist in newer versions, as this was a joke.
*The item forms of diamonds and [[Turtle Egg|turtle eggs]] have the same shape.

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting
|head=1
|showdescription=1
|Name Tag
|Name, 16; Tag, 16
|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.
