{{Program
The '''''Minecraft'' launcher''' is the login and downloader front-end to the stand-alone [[client]]. It is responsible for downloading the main Java packages, including '''[[minecraft.jar]]''' and [http://lwjgl.org LWJGL], which holds the code and resources of the game such as textures. It also acts somewhat like a basic and easily bypassable copy-restriction by forcing the user to login to a paid account when running for the first time. It is possible to use the launcher to run versions of ''[[Minecraft]]'' from any era, however some versions are still not included on the launcher, such as [[Indev]], [[Minecraft 2.0]] and any of the [[Beta 1.9-pre1|Beta 1.9 pre-releases]].

The '''''Minecraft Launcher''''' is the game downloader and launcher for ''[[Java Edition|Minecraft: Java Edition]]'' and one of the game downloaders and launchers for [[Bedrock Edition|''Minecraft for Windows'' (''Bedrock Edition'')]], {{el|mcd}}, and {{el|mcl}}. It is available for {{w|Microsoft Windows|Windows}}, {{w|macOS}} and {{w|Linux}}, but ''Minecraft for Windows'' and ''Minecraft Legends'' can be played only on Windows 10 & 11, and ''Minecraft Dungeons'' only on Windows 7 or later.
== Behavior ==
 
   
  +
== Features ==
[[File:Launcher Login.png|thumb|left|The login screen for launchers without already signed-in users.]]
 
  +
[[File:Launcher login.png|right|thumb|The initial login screen]]
  +
On the initial login screen, users must log in with a pre-existing Microsoft account, otherwise they can create a new one by clicking the link. Subsequent logins can be done in the "Settings" tab. If a user attempts to log in with a Mojang Studios or legacy ''Minecraft'' account, they will be directed to migrate to a Microsoft account.
   
  +
On the left side, a "News" tab, a tab for each game, and the ''Minecraft Launcher'' "Settings" tab can be seen.
Every time the launcher is executed, it checks a specific directory where ''Minecraft'' stores its files called [[.minecraft]]. It checks a file called "launcher_profiles.json" for login credentials. If the file does not exist, is corrupt, or no user is logged in, the user must login with a valid premium account, otherwise the user will be directed to play the Demo version or purchase the game.
 
   
  +
The top left corner of the ''Minecraft Launcher'' contains the user's Xbox gamertag for the currently active account (which might differ from their ''Minecraft: Java Edition'' username)<ref>https://help.minecraft.net/hc/articles/360052640612</ref>. By clicking on it, users can manage or log out of their active account, and see a "Help" page with various links to helpful resources.
When logging in, the launcher will first try to verify the login. If a valid "launcher_profiles.json" file exists but there is no Internet connection, the launcher will offer a "Play offline" mode if a player was logged in when it was last closed. If the connection is successful, the launcher will then, depending on profile options, compare the latest version in the latest "versions" directory to the latest version reported by the server. If the selected version does not exist or the latest installed version is outdated when "Use latest version" is selected in the profile, the launcher will download all ''Minecraft'' components and Java binary files. It will also synchronize everything in the Assets folder (see [[Resource pack]])
 
   
  +
== ''Minecraft: Java Edition'' ==
Finally, upon a successful update or installation, the launcher will execute "minecraft.jar" (via "javaw.exe", Oracle's Java Virtual Machine executable.) It is possible however for there to be missing ".jar" files, in which case the launcher will attempt to replace the missing files automatically but will stop if there is no connection.
 
  +
The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch ''[[Java Edition|Minecraft: Java Edition]]'' with the "Play" button, and also includes an installation selection on the left (which sorts installations by last played), the user's ''Java Edition'' username on the right, and a list of the latest news for the game from [[minecraft.net]] below.
   
  +
* One can launch multiple instances of the game by pressing the "Play" button whilst the game is running.
Currently, ''Minecraft'' launcher supports only English. Users cannot select their preferred language.
 
  +
* If the device is not connected to the internet, the game can be run in offline mode, but only if the game has been initially downloaded.
  +
* If the user isn't logged into an account that has purchased the game, the "Play" button appears as a "Play demo" button that downloads and launches the [[Demo mode|demo version]] of the game.
   
  +
There is also a "Patch notes" section where the patch notes of the game's update can be seen, including the snapshots (if enabled).

  +
In the "Installations" section, custom installations can be created and edited. There are buttons to sort and search installations, as well as checkboxes to enable installations with "Releases", "Snapshot", and "Modded" versions of the game. Installations are stored in [[launcher_profiles.json]] (or launcher_profiles_microsoft_store.json when using the new Minecraft Launcher for Windows) in the game's directory ([[.minecraft]]).
   
  +
By default, there are installations for the "Latest release" and for "Latest snapshot" (if enabled), both of which the game versions cannot be changed. A new installation can be created by clicking the "New installation" button and an existing installation can be edited by clicking on it. There is a "Play" button that launches the selected installation and a folder icon that takes to the installation's game directory. The ellipses button contains the options to edit, duplicate, or delete an installation.
* Manage multiple profiles (stored in "launcher_profiles.json"). Each profile can control:
 
** Game version. Includes access to outdated development builds and previous releases. You can also add older/custom versions manually<ref>{{tweet|dinner|344164561701724160}}</ref>. See [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME6XXgYVwM8 this video] for instructions.
 
** Mojang account used to play the game
 
** Command line arguments for Java (such as heap size)
 
** Game Directory (where the game files are saved on disk)
 
** And so on.
 
* The launcher doesn't store your password locally. Instead of this, it uses a 'refresh token'.
 
* Automatic updates for launcher.
 
* Ability to update libraries, such as [[LWJGL]].
 
* Offline mode. (The first time launch requires an Internet connection to download required resources)
 
* Currently only available in English.
 
* Crashes can be reported to Mojang, through [[Hopper (crash utility)|Hopper]].
 
* Crashes are indexed through a database for information on how to fix the issue.
 
   
  +
On the create/edit installation page, the following can be changed:
==== Time Machine ====
 
  +
* Icon, by selecting one of the default ones or adding a custom one. Custom icons must be a <samp>.png</samp> and 128×128 pixels in size.
[[File:HowToAllowOldVersions.png|300px|thumb|A profile with Alpha and Beta versions enabled]]
 
  +
* Name, by default called "<unnamed installation>".
The Minecraft launcher has the ability to play old [[Alpha]] and [[Beta]] versions of the game. Currently, Alpha, Beta, and all Release versions are available to play. Four [[Pre-classic]] versions, four [[Classic]] versions, and an [[Infdev]] version are already added under the names "old-alpha version".<ref>{{tweet|dinner|364762596387205120}}</ref>
 
  +
* Version, which includes access to older releases and snapshots (if enabled).
However, [[Indev]] is still missing.
 
  +
* Game directory, the location of where the game files are saved, the default being [[.minecraft]]. The location can be typed in or selected using the "Browse" button.
  +
* Resolution, which changes the game's windows size. It has a list of resolutions, or a custom one can be typed in.
  +
* Java executable, by default uses the bundled java runtime.
  +
* JVM arguments, such as heap size.
   
  +
Before, it was possible for the users to manually set a [http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html logging configuration] (see [http://wiki.vg/Debugging Debugging on wiki.vg] for more info), however this doesn't seem to work anymore.<ref>{{bug|MCL-17489}}</ref>
[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AqgcHULYiwHYdGhhbkJybWh6amtIZzVGU3VaazUxc1E Progress] *note: this list is missing at least one version that is on the launcher (infdev 2010-06-18, aka Seecret Friday 1)
 
   
  +
A specific game version's server jar can also be downloaded by selecting the version in the list and pressing the "Server" button next to it.
To enable the old versions either click the "Edit Profile" button or, preferably, create a new one. Under the "Version Selection" section choose to allow use of Alpha and/or Beta versions by ticking the appropriate boxes. Next, select the desired version from the drop-down menu and save the profile.
 
   
  +
=== Backward compatibility ===
However, these versions are very out of date and may be unstable. Any bugs, glitches, missing features, or crashes that result from instability will never be resolved as only later versions are supported. Mojang strongly recommends that you play them in separate directories than your other saves to avoid corruption.<ref>https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/1475923-changing-game-versions</ref>
 
  +
[[File:HowtoOldVersion2019.png|thumb|Selecting older versions in the create new installation screen.]]
{{-}}
 
   
  +
The ''Minecraft Launcher'' has the ability to play most older releases of the game (and older snapshots, if enabled) by default, but also some older versions prior to [[Java Edition 1.0.0|Release 1.0]]. In order to see these versions in the installations section, the player must enable "Show historical versions of ''Java Edition''" in the ''Minecraft Launcher'' settings tab. Because these versions are outdated and unsupported, they may contain bugs and errors that are not present in newer versions. It is recommended to run old versions of the game in a separate directory and backup worlds to avoid save corruption or other problems.<ref>{{cite|url=https://help.minecraft.net/hc/articles/360034754852|title=Changing game versions|website=Minecraft Help Center}}</ref>
== Command-line usage ==
 
MinecraftDev.jar (all systems):
 
<blockquote>
 
<code><nowiki>java -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap <username> <server:port></nowiki></code>
 
</blockquote>
 
   
  +
Once historical versions are enabled, the following can be accessed:
As of the launcher released with Minecraft 1.6, there are other commands for the launcher. These are shown if you do
 
  +
* Most [[Java Edition Beta|beta]] versions.
  +
* Most [[Java Edition Alpha|alpha]] versions.
  +
* One [[infdev]] version.
  +
* Four [[classic]] versions.
  +
* Five [[pre-classic]] versions.<ref>{{tweet|dinnerbone|364762596387205120|2 classic versions, an infdev version and a version before minecraft was called minecraft have been added to the launcher!|August 6, 2013}}</ref>
   
  +
Some issues with these older versions include:
<blockquote>
 
  +
* Some sounds are wrong; [[bow]]s, [[door]]s, and [[explosion]]s use their sounds from [[Java Edition RC1#General 2|RC1]], even in versions released prior to it. In versions before [[Alpha 1.1.2_01]], sounds do not work at all.
<code><nowiki>java -jar Minecraft.jar -help</nowiki></code>
 
  +
* [[Skins]] are missing in versions prior to [[Java Edition 1.7|1.7]], as earlier versions used a different skin server, which has since been shut down. [[Capes]] may still work, however.{{needs testing|Videos from early 2018 show capes still working even after skins broke. Someone with an older cape should see if this is still the case.}}
</blockquote>
 
  +
* In [[Alpha 1.0.15]] and from [[Alpha 1.2.0]] to [[Alpha 1.2.6]], the ''Minecraft Launcher'' does not set the player's name properly, resulting in everyone using default names: "Player" followed by a random 3-digit number. This makes multiplayer difficult to play, as a player's location and inventory is reset every time they relaunch their client.
  +
:* In [[Alpha 1.2.5]] and Alpha 1.2.6 specifically, players are always named "Player524". Playing multiplayer in these versions is impossible, as joining a server kicks off other players with the same name.
  +
* As a side effect of the above, and as a result of old authentication servers being shut down, online mode no longer works in versions before [[Beta 1.8]].
   
  +
=== Skins ===
{{-}}
 
  +
[[File:SkinLibrary.png|thumb|The skins section]]
  +
In the "Skins" section, the user can view and change their in-game skin. By default, the skin is either [[Player|Steve, Alex, Noor, Sunny, Ari, Zuri, Makena, Kai, or Efe.]]
   
  +
In the skins library, skin can be applied by clicking "Use". The skin can also be edited, duplicate, or delete by clicking the ellipsis button. By default, the library contains the default Steve, Alex, Noor, Sunny, Ari, Zuri, Makena, Kai, and Efe skins, which can be duplicated or applied, but not removed.

The ''Minecraft Launcher'' can be invoked using the command line by typing <code>%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Minecraft Launcher\MinecraftLauncher.exe</code> in Windows or <code>minecraft-launcher</code> in either Mac or Linux.[[File:Minecraft Launcher Command Line Args.png|thumb|The Help Message when using MinecraftLauncher.exe --help]]

As of version [[Launcher 2.2.25xx|2.2.25xx]], the ''Minecraft Launcher'' has these command-line options available for ''Minecraft: Java Edition'':
* Fixed: {{Bug|MCL-412}} – OS X: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/minecraft/client/main/Main
 
  +
* <code>--demo</code> - This launches the demo version of the game, much like if the game hasn't been purchased yet.
  +
* <code>-h, --help</code> - This option displays a help message on how to run it in the command line.
  +
* <code>--clean</code> – This option deletes the "<samp>game</samp>" and "<samp>runtime</samp>" folders, including their contents, from the working directory.
  +
* <code>--launcherui</code> - This option presents the login screen.
  +
* <code>-w, --workDir</code> – This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), changes the location (and/or name) of the <samp>.minecraft</samp> folder.
  +
** Can be used to create a portable installation of the game. For example, <code>--workDir</code> (or <code>--workDir=.</code>) can be used to make the ''Minecraft Launcher'' use the current directory (no matter what the current folder is called).
  +
* <code>--nativeLauncherVersion</code> - .
  +
* <code>--tmpDir</code> – This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), changes the location (and/or name) of the <samp>tmp</samp> folder.
  +
* <code>-l, --lockDir</code>- This option, followed by a path, restricts the installation directory to a specified folder.
  +
* <code>--winTen</code> – This option adds support for Windows 10. Since the ''Minecraft Launcher'' now supports Windows 10 fully, this option is unnecessary and seems to have no effect.
  +
* <code>--proxyHost</code> - This option changes where the host of the proxy is.
  +
* <code>--proxyPort</code> - This option changes the default port from <code>80</code> to a custom one.
  +
* <code>--disableGPU</code> - This disables GPU acceleration in the ''Minecraft Launcher'', which might fix issues when playing minecraft.
  +
* <code>--debugGPU</code>- This opens up a new window showing debug information, like "Graphic Feature Stats", which shows if Hardware acceleration is enabled on certain features, and an option to copy the content to the clipboard. These might be useful for troubleshooting purposes.

The Minecraft Launcher is the game downloader and launcher for Minecraft: Java Edition and one of the game downloaders and launchers for Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition), Minecraft Dungeons, and Minecraft Legends. It is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, but Minecraft for Windows and Minecraft Legends can be played only on Windows 10 & 11, and Minecraft Dungeons only on Windows 7 or later.

Features

Launcher login

The initial login screen

On the initial login screen, users must log in with a pre-existing Microsoft account, otherwise they can create a new one by clicking the link. Subsequent logins can be done in the "Settings" tab. If a user attempts to log in with a Mojang Studios or legacy Minecraft account, they will be directed to migrate to a Microsoft account.

On the left side, a "News" tab, a tab for each game, and the Minecraft Launcher "Settings" tab can be seen.

The top left corner of the Minecraft Launcher contains the user's Xbox gamertag for the currently active account (which might differ from their Minecraft: Java Edition username)[2]. By clicking on it, users can manage or log out of their active account, and see a "Help" page with various links to helpful resources.

Minecraft: Java Edition

The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch Minecraft: Java Edition with the "Play" button, and also includes an installation selection on the left (which sorts installations by last played), the user's Java Edition username on the right, and a list of the latest news for the game from minecraft.net below.

  • One can launch multiple instances of the game by pressing the "Play" button whilst the game is running.
  • If the device is not connected to the internet, the game can be run in offline mode, but only if the game has been initially downloaded.
  • If the user isn't logged into an account that has purchased the game, the "Play" button appears as a "Play demo" button that downloads and launches the demo version of the game.

There is also a "Patch notes" section where the patch notes of the game's update can be seen, including the snapshots (if enabled).

Installations

2019LauncherProfileSettings

Creating a new installation.

In the "Installations" section, custom installations can be created and edited. There are buttons to sort and search installations, as well as checkboxes to enable installations with "Releases", "Snapshot", and "Modded" versions of the game. Installations are stored in launcher_profiles.json (or launcher_profiles_microsoft_store.json when using the new Minecraft Launcher for Windows) in the game's directory (.minecraft).

By default, there are installations for the "Latest release" and for "Latest snapshot" (if enabled), both of which the game versions cannot be changed. A new installation can be created by clicking the "New installation" button and an existing installation can be edited by clicking on it. There is a "Play" button that launches the selected installation and a folder icon that takes to the installation's game directory. The ellipses button contains the options to edit, duplicate, or delete an installation.

On the create/edit installation page, the following can be changed:

  • Icon, by selecting one of the default ones or adding a custom one. Custom icons must be a .png and 128×128 pixels in size.
  • Name, by default called "<unnamed installation>".
  • Version, which includes access to older releases and snapshots (if enabled).
  • Game directory, the location of where the game files are saved, the default being .minecraft. The location can be typed in or selected using the "Browse" button.
  • Resolution, which changes the game's windows size. It has a list of resolutions, or a custom one can be typed in.
  • Java executable, by default uses the bundled java runtime.
  • JVM arguments, such as heap size.

Before, it was possible for the users to manually set a logging configuration (see Debugging on wiki.vg for more info), however this doesn't seem to work anymore.[3]

A specific game version's server jar can also be downloaded by selecting the version in the list and pressing the "Server" button next to it.

Backward compatibility

HowtoOldVersion2019

Selecting older versions in the create new installation screen.

The Minecraft Launcher has the ability to play most older releases of the game (and older snapshots, if enabled) by default, but also some older versions prior to Release 1.0. In order to see these versions in the installations section, the player must enable "Show historical versions of Java Edition" in the Minecraft Launcher settings tab. Because these versions are outdated and unsupported, they may contain bugs and errors that are not present in newer versions. It is recommended to run old versions of the game in a separate directory and backup worlds to avoid save corruption or other problems.[4]

Once historical versions are enabled, the following can be accessed:

Some issues with these older versions include:

  • Some sounds are wrong; bows, doors, and explosions use their sounds from RC1, even in versions released prior to it. In versions before Alpha 1.1.2_01, sounds do not work at all.
  • Skins are missing in versions prior to 1.7, as earlier versions used a different skin server, which has since been shut down. Capes may still work, however.[needs testing]
  • In Alpha 1.0.15 and from Alpha 1.2.0 to Alpha 1.2.6, the Minecraft Launcher does not set the player's name properly, resulting in everyone using default names: "Player" followed by a random 3-digit number. This makes multiplayer difficult to play, as a player's location and inventory is reset every time they relaunch their client.
  • In Alpha 1.2.5 and Alpha 1.2.6 specifically, players are always named "Player524". Playing multiplayer in these versions is impossible, as joining a server kicks off other players with the same name.
  • As a side effect of the above, and as a result of old authentication servers being shut down, online mode no longer works in versions before Beta 1.8.

Skins

SkinLibrary

The skins section

In the "Skins" section, the user can view and change their in-game skin. By default, the skin is either Steve, Alex, Noor, Sunny, Ari, Zuri, Makena, Kai, or Efe.

In the skins library, skin can be applied by clicking "Use". The skin can also be edited, duplicate, or delete by clicking the ellipsis button. By default, the library contains the default Steve, Alex, Noor, Sunny, Ari, Zuri, Makena, Kai, and Efe skins, which can be duplicated or applied, but not removed.

Visiting this section without purchasing the game displays a button that redirects to the Minecraft: Java Edition store page.

Minecraft for Windows

The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition) with the "Play" button, and also includes the user's Xbox Gamertag on the right, and a list of the latest news for the game from minecraft.net below.

  • If the device is not connected to the internet, the game can be run in offline mode, but only if the game has been initially downloaded.
  • If the user is on an unsupported device, a warning appears with a link to a website with supported devices.
  • If the user isn't logged into an account that has purchased the game, the "Play" button appears as a "Play demo" button that links the player to Microsoft Store to download and launch the demo version of the game.

There is a "Preview" tab to play Minecraft Preview, an "FAQ" section with frequently asked questions and answers about the Minecraft Launcher and Minecraft for Windows (Bedrock Edition), an "Installation" section to repair or uninstall the game, and a "Patch notes" section where the patch notes of the game's updates can be seen (not including beta versions).

Minecraft Dungeons

Gear (item)
This section is a work in progress. 
Please help in the expansion or creation of this article by expanding or improving it. The talk page may contain suggestions.

There are 5 tabs on the Minecraft Dungeons page: Play, DLC, FAQ, Installation, and Patch notes. (Only Play, DLC, and Patch notes are shown on an unsupported platform.)

Play

Minecraft Dungeons default section

The default view of the Minecraft Dungeons section in the Minecraft Launcher.

The main "Play" section allows the user to download (if needed) and launch the latest version of Minecraft Dungeons with the "Play" button, and also includes images from the game and a list of the latest news articles from minecraft.net below. This section also contains a notice that the game can be purchased separately from Microsoft Store for Windows. If the player is not playing on the supported platform, a small message on the bottom is shown that displays: Where is the play button?! Minecraft Dungeons isn't available on (platform).

DLC

Minecraft Dungeons DLC Page in Minecraft Launcher

The DLC tab on the Minecraft Dungeons page in the Minecraft Launcher.

There is a search bar and a filter option to narrow down the results when searching the DLCs. The bundle or/and the DLCs can be shown by checking the box.

Each DLC is shown in a card-like structure with the DLC info on the left and a cover image on the right. There is also a slideshow on the bottom of the card.

FAQ

Minecraft Dungeons FAQ tab

The FAQ tab in Minecraft Dungeons on the Minecraft Minecraft Launcher.

The FAQ section is shown when pressing the FAQ tab. There is a list of troubleshooting sections and a link to the Minecraft Dungeons FAQ on the Minecraft Help Center.

Installation

This section is missing information about the Minecraft Launcher appearance if the game was purchased. 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

Visiting this section without the game purchased displays a button that redirects to the Minecraft Dungeons buy page. If bought, it shows an uninstall button and a repair button.

Patch Notes

This section shows cards of the patch notes. Each card contains an image on top and the text below stating the name of the patch notes. When clicked, this displays the patch notes.

Settings

Launcher about

The "About" section in the Minecraft Launcher settings.

In the main "General" section, users can:

  • Change the Minecraft Launcher language. There are 66 languages available, including 2 joke languages (as of February 2021).
  • Use the beta version of the Minecraft Launcher, which requires restarting the launcher to start downloading if there is one available.
  • Keep the Minecraft Launcher open while games are running.
  • Enable animations in the Minecraft Launcher, which are disabled by default to avoid potential motion sickness for some users.
  • Disable hardware acceleration.

Options exclusively for Minecraft: Java Edition:

  • Open the output log when the game starts.
  • Option to automatically send the game's crash reports to Mojang Studios.
  • Show historical versions of the game (versions prior to Release 1.0) in the version selector in the Installations section.

In the "Accounts" section, users can add, switch, manage, or remove their Microsoft accounts.

The "About" section contains details about the Minecraft Launcher including its version, credits, and third-party licenses, as well as a list of patch notes by clicking the "What's New?" button.

Command line usage

Important Note 
On Windows, this will only work on the old Unified Minecraft Launcher and NOT the Microsoft Store version.
This section is missing information about the default host of the proxy (if available) and the --nativeLauncherVersion flag. 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

The Minecraft Launcher can be invoked using the command line by typing %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Minecraft Launcher\MinecraftLauncher.exe in Windows or minecraft-launcher in either Mac or Linux.

Minecraft Launcher Command Line Args

The Help Message when using MinecraftLauncher.exe --help

As of version 2.2.25xx, the Minecraft Launcher has these command-line options available for Minecraft: Java Edition:

  • --demo - This launches the demo version of the game, much like if the game hasn't been purchased yet.
  • -h, --help - This option displays a help message on how to run it in the command line.
  • --clean – This option deletes the "game" and "runtime" folders, including their contents, from the working directory.
  • --launcherui - This option presents the login screen.
  • -w, --workDir – This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), changes the location (and/or name) of the .minecraft folder.
    • Can be used to create a portable installation of the game. For example, --workDir (or --workDir=.) can be used to make the Minecraft Launcher use the current directory (no matter what the current folder is called).
  • --nativeLauncherVersion - .
  • --tmpDir – This option, followed by a path (relative or absolute), changes the location (and/or name) of the tmp folder.
  • -l, --lockDir- This option, followed by a path, restricts the installation directory to a specified folder.
  • --winTen – This option adds support for Windows 10. Since the Minecraft Launcher now supports Windows 10 fully, this option is unnecessary and seems to have no effect.
  • --proxyHost - This option changes where the host of the proxy is.
  • --proxyPort - This option changes the default port from 80 to a custom one.
  • --disableGPU - This disables GPU acceleration in the Minecraft Launcher, which might fix issues when playing minecraft.
  • --debugGPU- This opens up a new window showing debug information, like "Graphic Feature Stats", which shows if Hardware acceleration is enabled on certain features, and an option to copy the content to the clipboard. These might be useful for troubleshooting purposes.

Uninstalling the old Minecraft Unified Launcher

Source: "Uninstalling the Old Minecraft Unified Launcher" – Minecraft Help Center.

This applies only to players using Windows 10 or newer. Older versions of Windows are not able to use the new Minecraft Launcher for Windows. With the addition of a new launcher, you can uninstall the old launcher to remove any confusion between the two. For clarity, the new launcher is referred to as the "Minecraft Launcher for Windows" and the old launcher as the "Minecraft Unified Launcher".

How to uninstall the Minecraft Unified Launcher (old launcher):

  1. Click the start menu in Windows (windows icon in the bottom left).
  2. Type in "Add or remove programs" and click the top entry.
  3. Search for "Minecraft Launcher". The launcher to uninstall displays Mojang underneath the title "Minecraft Launcher".
  4. Click the three dots shown to the left of the "Minecraft Launcher" title and select "Uninstall".

Now only one launcher should be installed. Run the Minecraft Launcher for Windows to ensure it still works; if it doesn't, reinstall using Microsoft Store.

Launcher or game mods may need to be migrated or re-installed to the new Minecraft Launcher for Windows installation location before uninstalling the old launcher. Check with the mod developer for more detail.

An '''armor stand''' is an inanimate [[entity]] that can wear [[armor]]. It can also hold [[Item|items]] and be posed (but these are not possible in [[Survival]] in [[Java Edition]]).

== Obtaining ==
An armor stand can be broken by quickly {{control|attack|text=attacking}} it twice, dropping itself and any armor placed onto it.

=== Crafting ===

|B1= Stick
|C1= Stick  
|B2= Stick

|Output= Armor Stand
|type=Decoration block
}}

=== Natural generation ===
Two armor stands are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one equipped with an [[iron helmet]], the other with an [[iron chestplate]].

== Usage ==
[[Player]]s can use armor stands to hold [[armor]], [[mob head]]s, [[carved pumpkin]]s, and [[elytra]]. [[Commands]] can be used to give them other [[item]]s. The stand does not have a GUI, so players interact with it directly. Armor stands are also able to be placed in different orientations, similar to [[banner]]s or [[sign]]s. Armor stands are [[entity|entities]], allowing them to be pushed by [[piston]]s, moved by flowing [[water]], pulled with [[fishing rod]]s, pushed by players (with knockback), and bounced by [[slime block]]s. 

{{Control|use|text=Using}} armor on the stand places the armor if done on a bare spot. Conversely, clicking on armor with a bare hand removes the armor and places it in the highlighted hotbar slot. It is not possible to take or place items from the armor stand's hands unless playing on Bedrock Edition.

Armor, mob heads, or carved pumpkins can be automatically placed on armor stands with a [[dispenser]].

Armor stands can be customized further to have arms, pose, disobey gravity, dual wield and other things by summoning them using {{cmd|summon}} with [[Tutorials/Command NBT tags#Armor Stand|NBT tags]].

In maps heavily using [[command blocks]], armor stands can be used to keep [[scoreboard]] objectives that are 'global' to the map, run [[commands]], etc. 

{{IN|bedrock}}, the pose of the armor stand can be changed by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Pose|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while sneaking, or by using a redstone signal. There are 13 possible poses. Armor stands can also hold items by interacting with the armor stand (or pressing the {{btn|Equip|be=1}} button on mobile devices) while holding an item that cannot be worn.

==Behavior==

Because armor stands are entities, they obey gravity, allowing them to fall and rest on non-full [[block]]s such as [[enchanting table]]s, [[snow layer]]s and [[slab]]s.

Any [[armor]] on the stand drops when the stand is broken. Armor stands can display [[enchanting|enchanted]] and all forms of [[dye]]d armor. The effects of most enchanted armor have no effect when on an armor stand, with three exceptions: 
*[[Frost Walker]] creates [[frosted ice]] blocks on [[water]] as usual if an armor stand is pushed with a [[piston]].
*[[Depth Strider]] slows the movement of the armor stand when being pushed with water.
*A [[player]] may take damage from hitting an armor stand that holds armor enchanted with [[Thorns]].

Armor stands are not damaged by [[cacti]] but can be broken by [[arrow]]s. An armor stand destroyed by an explosion or a firework does not drop as an [[item (entity)|item]]. Armor stands in water and [[lava]] at the same time are not consumed by the lava.

{{IN|be}}, armor stands can be affected by [[status effect]]s. They can be 'killed' by [[Harming]] and [[Decay]] [[splash potion|splash]]/[[lingering potion]]s, lava, [[fire]], and [[campfire]]s, and they play the player death sound and fall to their side and disappear, yielding no armor stand item. If an armor stand is equipped with an item or armor, that item or armor is considered as "naturally-spawned equipment" with an 8.5% chance of dropping when the armor stand "dies" from the [[Instant Damage]] or the [[Wither (status effect)|Wither]] status effect. If the dropped item is any form of [[weapon]], [[tool]] or armor, it drops in a badly damaged state because the game considers it as "naturally-spawned equipment".<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-24341}}</ref>

The stand wobbles slightly when being hit by the player.

{{IN|java}}, it is possible to create an armor stand with arms using the {{cmd|summon}} [[command]]. It is also possible to change an armor stand without arms into a stand with arms by using the {{cmd|data}} command. The commands are as follows:

*<code>/data merge entity @e[type=armor_stand,sort=nearest,limit=1] {ShowArms:1}</code>, which changes the nearest armor stand into an armor stand with arms.
*<code>/summon minecraft:armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {ShowArms:1}</code>, which summons a new armor stand with arms shown.
*<code>/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Rotation:[0.0f]}</code>, which summons a new armor stand that faces a desired direction (dependent on changing "0.0f" to other numbers like "90.0f" or "180.0f", otherwise it faces the same way as a default armor stand).

==Sounds==
{{edition|java}}:<br>
Armor stands use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.

==Issues==
{{issue list}}

==Trivia ==
*Equipping armor stands with certain [[block]]s and [[item]]s can cause rendering glitches. According to [[Searge]] this is due to transparent rendering on entities not yet being supported.<ref>{{bug|MC-67415||"Armor Stands with Slime Block rendering entities behind them"}} resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-67674||"Armor Stand wearing a Skull and Holding Stained Glass causes Graphical issues"}} resolved as "Won't Fix"</ref>
*Bedrock Edition has a version exclusive armor stand [[model]], which includes posable arms.
*Using [[redstone]] to change the stands reverse the poses, starting with the can-can pose first.
*Placing the stand within three powered [[redstone dust]] always changes its pose to the honor pose. [[Redstone Repeater|Repeaters]] also switch the stand to the honor pose if not set four blocks from one.
*Using external tools, armor stand spawners can be placed.
*Secret signatures for [[Jasper Boerstra|JAPPA]], Chi Wong, and [[Michael Stoyke|Searge]] can be found at the bottom of the armor stand texture.

====[[Anvil mechanics#Unit repair|Unit repair]]====
An axe can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers|tier]]'s repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the axe's maximum durability, rounded down.

===Mob loot===

==== Equipment ====
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

A [[vindicator]] spawns with an iron axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. It is usually heavily damaged and is sometimes enchanted.

A [[piglin brute]] spawns with a golden axe and has an 8.5% chance (9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II, and 11.5% with Looting III) of dropping it upon death by the player. Also, {{in|java}}, [[Zombified Piglin|zombified piglins]] can drop their golden axe (with the same chance as piglin brute drop) if they have been zombified from a [[Piglin Brute|piglin brute.]]

====Raids====
{{IN|be}}, [[Vindicator]] and [[pillager]]s that spawn in raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron axe, which is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment. A vindicator can drop 2 iron axes, one from natural equipment and one from raid drops.

===Trading===
Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith|Toolsmith]] [[villager]]s have a 25% chance to sell a stone axe for one [[emerald]], journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for eight emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 13 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level [[Trading#Toolsmith 2|Toolsmith]] villagers have a 40% chance to sell a stone axe for one emerald, journeyman-level Toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron axe for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level Toolsmith villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 18-35 emeralds.{{only|java}}

Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith|Weaponsmith]] [[villager]]s sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds as one of their trades, and master-level Weaponsmith villagers sell an enchanted diamond axe for 12 emeralds.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level [[Trading#Weaponsmith 2|Weaponsmith]] villagers have a 66.67% chance to sell an iron axe for 3 emeralds. Master-level Weaponsmith villagers always offer to sell an enchanted diamond axe for 18-35 emeralds.{{only|java}}

The enchantments are the same as the ones obtained from an [[enchantment table]] at levels 5–19.

=== Villager gifts ===
[[Trading#Toolsmith 2|Toolsmith]] [[villagers]] occasionally throw stone axes at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.{{only|java}}

[[Trading#Weaponsmith 2|Weaponsmith]] [[villagers]] occasionally throw either stone, gold, or iron axes at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.{{only|java}}

===Structure loot===
{{IN|JE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest always containing an [[Efficiency]] I iron axe.
{{LootChestItem|wooden-axe,stone-axe,random-enchanted-golden-axe,damaged-random-enchanted-netherite-axe,iron-axe}}

==Usage==

===Chopping===
An axe is used to break [[logs]], blocks derived from wood and some other blocks faster than by using other tools. An axe uses 1 durability to break 1 block. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.

====Durability====
Each tier of axe has a different durability:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Material
! [[Durability]]
|-
| {{itemLink|Wooden Axe|Wood|link=Axe}}
| 59
|-
| {{itemLink|Stone Axe|Stone|link=Axe}}

|-
| {{itemLink|Golden Axe|Golden|link=Axe}}
| 32
|-
| {{itemLink|Netherite Axe|Netherite|link=Axe}}
| 2031
|}

====Speed====
The following table summarizes the speed at which axes of different qualities perform.

=== Stripping ===
{{control|Using}} an axe on a [[log]], [[wood]] block, [[block of bamboo]]\, or [[block of copper]] causes it to become a [[stripped log]], [[stripped wood]] block, [[block of stripped bamboo]], or removes one layer of oxidization or wax, respectively. This consumes one point of durability from the axe.

===Weapon===
An axe loses 2 points of durability when used as a weapon. 

==== Bedrock Edition ====
{{IN|bedrock}}, axes always attack instantly and deal {{hp|1}} less damage than a [[sword]] of the same quality but it lowers the durability of armor and shields faster than any other tool in-game.

====Java Edition====

Attacking a [[shield]] user with an axe should have a chance to disable the use of the shield for 5 seconds, but currently this always disables a shield.<ref>{{bug|MC-197537}}</ref> The base chance is 25%, plus 5 percentage points per level of [[Efficiency]] on the axe, plus 75 percentage points if attacking while sprinting. [[Vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, or other [[mob]]s with commands always disable the player's shield. Damage done when using an axe as a weapon is more than that of a [[sword]] of the same tier, though they take longer than a sword to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]], resulting in lower <abbr title="Damage/Second">DPS</abbr> (with the exception of [[gold]]en axes). The damage dealt and cooldown time depends on the type:

*Weaponsmith villagers gifting stone, iron and golden axes is a reference to the story ''[[wikipedia:The Honest Woodcutter|The Honest Woodcutter]]'', where a woodcutter dropped his axe into a river, and is successively provided a silver and a golden axe by the river god.{{cn}}

== Usage ==
[[File:Steve scoping Spyglass.png|right|100px]] [[File:Alex scoping Spyglass.png|right|100px]]

To use a spyglass, the player selects it from the hotbar and clicks {{control|use}} while looking in the desired direction.

Spyglasses are used to zoom in on a specific location in the player's field of view (FOV). The spyglass changes the FOV to {{frac|1|10}} of the FOV set in [[options]]. By default, the FOV is set to 70° in ''Java Edition'' and 60° in Bedrock Edition, resulting in an FOV of 7° in ''Java Edition'' and 6° in Bedrock Edition through the spyglass. The player's FOV can be set from 30° to 110°, so the spyglass FOV can  range from 3° to 11°. Regardless of the situation, or status effects the player has, using the Spyglass always shows a FOV {{frac|1|10}} of the FOV set in [[options]].

A square vignette is applied when in use, similar to the effect when wearing a [[carved pumpkin]]. Pressing {{key|F1}} removes the vignette,{{only|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-203575||The spyglass overlay goes away when pressing F1|WAI}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-125869||Spyglass's overlay don't go away even if the player toggles Hide GUI on/ Pressing F1|}}</ref> similar to a carved pumpkin. 

Hazy distant objects remain hazy when viewed in the spyglass. Mobs too distant to render also do not render in the spyglass. The spyglass shows a magnified view of what the player already sees.

The player is slowed down while watching through the spyglass. When the player uses the spyglass continuously for {{convert|1|minute|game tick}}, the interface is automatically closed.

If the player has a certain effect on their screen like [[fire]], the spyglass does not remove that effect on the player's screen.

'''Drinks''' are a narrow class of consumable [[item]]s that can be ingested by the [[player]] in an extremely similar manner to [[food]]. However, drinks are not encountered quite as commonly as food is, and they are not nearly as integral to Survival gameplay. Drinks can generally be distinguished from food by the sounds they make upon consumption, the lack of [[particles]] they emit, and the fact that they leave an empty container item in the [[inventory]] after consumption. Drinks do not affect [[hunger]] or saturation values upon use (with the exception of [[honey bottle]]s), and do not need those values to be depleted in order to be consumed.

Drinks are drunk by holding {{control|use item}} while having the drink item selected in the hotbar or in the off hand.

A '''potato''' is a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from potato crops that can be used to plant them, consumed raw or [[cook]]ed to make [[baked potato]]es.

'''Potato crops''' are planted in [[farmland]] and used to grow potatoes and, rarely, [[Poisonous Potato|poisonous potatoes]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===
[[Village]] farm plots have a chance of being planted with potatoes. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:

{| class="wikitable"
! Village style !! Chance
|-
| {{EnvSprite|snowy-village}} Snowy || 70%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|plains-village}} Plains || 15%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|taiga-village}} Taiga || 10%
|}

Fully grown potato crops drop 2 to 5 potatoes ({{frac|3|5|7}} per crop harvested on average) and have a 2% chance of dropping an additional [[poisonous potato]]. Potato yield can be increased using a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]], with Fortune III harvesting an average of {{frac|5|3|7}} potatoes. [[Bone meal]] can be used to mature the potato to its last stage of growth.

The first two potatoes always drop, and then three more attempts are made to drop a potato with a success rate of 57.14286% to yield the extra 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one.

=== Mob loot ===
[[Zombie]]s, [[husk]]s, and [[zombie villager]]s have a 2.5% ({{frac|1|40}}) chance of dropping either an [[iron ingot]], [[carrot]], or potato when killed by a player or tamed wolf. This is increased by 1% ({{frac|1|100}}) per level of looting. This gives potatoes the following chances of dropping:
* {{frac|1|120}} (about 0.83%)
* {{frac|7|600}} (about 1.17%) with Looting I
* {{frac|9|600}} (1.50%) with Looting II
* {{frac|11|600}} (about 1.83%) with Looting III
If a zombie, husk, or zombie villager is killed with fire, it drops a baked potato instead.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|potato}}

== Usage ==

=== Farming ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming}}
When farmed, potatoes require 8 [[Block tick|stages]] to grow. However, there are four ''visible'' stages due to having only four distinct textures: every two stages have the same texture, except that growth stage 7 keeps the same appearance as stages 5–6, so that only stage 8 has the final, mature appearance. Planted potatoes require a light level of 9 or greater to continue growing. If the light level is 7 or below, the crops instantly un-plant themselves ("pop off"). It is not possible to plant potatoes if the light level is too low.

Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is [[Farmland#Hydration|hydrated]]. Using [[bone meal]] on crops also increases the speed of growth by randomly increasing their growth stage by 2 to 5.

Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

=== Food ===
To eat a potato, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the [[hotbar]]. Eating a potato restores {{hunger|1}} hunger and 0.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Breeding ===
[[Pig]]s follow and can be [[bred]] by a player holding a potato.

[[Villager]]s can pick up potato items to become willing, which allow them to breed. Villagers require 12 potatoes to become willing.

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Potato
|Baked Potato
|0.35
}}

=== Trading ===
Novice-level farmer villagers have a 25%{{only|bedrock}} or 40%{{only|java}} chance to buy 26 potatoes for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

=== Composting ===
Placing a potato into a [[composter]] has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1. This is less efficient than composting with [[Baked Potato|baked potatoes]], which has a higher success chance of 85%.

'''Rabbit hide''' is an [[item]] dropped by [[rabbit]]s.

== Obtaining ==

===Mob loot===
[[Rabbit]]s drop 0–1 rabbit hide upon death. The maximum number of drops can be increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]] used, for a maximum of 0–4 rabbit hides with Looting III.

Some [[foxes]] spawn holding rabbit hides, which always drop upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item, which causes the fox to drop the rabbit hide.

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a rabbit hide.

== Usage ==

Rabbit hide can be crafted into leather, or into bundles to store stacks of items.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Trading ===

Journeyman-level leatherworker [[villager]]s buy 9 rabbit hide for an [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{Item
| image = Gold Ingot.png
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}}

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.

=== Mob loot ===

[[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]].

The '''Ankle monitor''' was a joke foot item.

== Usage ==
Ankle monitors were equipped in the boots slot. In survival mode, when equipped, it could not be taken off. However, players in Creative mode are unaffected.

When equipped, the player would be afflicted with {{EffectLink|Slowness}} I.

During the night, being a certain number of blocks from the world spawn, above a certain minimum,{{checkthecode|how much?}} would prompt the following message in chat: "CURFEW WARNING! You are violating your house arrest! Get back by [distance] meters!"

If in [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], a different set of messages would be cycled through which can be seen in the section below.

=== Nether and End messages ===
* CURFEW WARNING! You are violating your house arrest! Uuuh... where are you anyway?
* CURFEW WARNING! Hello, are you there?
* CURFEW WARNING! I'm sure you have important things to do, but you need to go back!
* CURFEW WARNING! We're lonely back home!
* CURFEW WARNING! By "we" I mean I. I'm lonely.
* CURFEW WARNING! Ok enough games... GET BACK RIGHT NOW!
* CURFEW WARNING! LAST WARNING!
* CURFEW WARNING! LASTEST WARNING (really now)
* CURFEW WARNING! ...
* CURFEW WARNING! So... Where are you?
* CURFEW WARNING! Having a good day?
* CURFEW WARNING! Did you see that monster over there?
* CURFEW WARNING! Give it a whack, if you would be so kind.
* CURFEW WARNING! Teheee...
* CURFEW WARNING! Ok, enough of this!
* CURFEW WARNING! Last straw!
* CURFEW WARNING! Now you die.
* CURFEW WARNING! Boom!
* CURFEW WARNING! Hehe, fun right?
* CURFEW WARNING! Ok, you will not hear anything more from me now!
* CURFEW WARNING! You'll be as lonely as I am.
* CURFEW WARNING! How does that feel?
* CURFEW WARNING! Stop. Please. Stupid.

'''Raw salmon''' is a food item that can be eaten by the [[player]] or cooked to make [[cooked salmon]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
====Salmon====
[[Salmon]] always drops 1 raw salmon when killed, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-212795||Salmon & Fish mobs are not affected by Looting}}</ref> If it is killed while on [[fire]], it drops 1 [[Cooked Salmon|cooked salmon]] instead.
====Guardians and elder guardians ====
[[Guardian|Guardians]] and [[Elder Guardian|elder guardians]] have a 2.5% chance to drop a random fish, with 25% of them being raw salmon, which drops as cooked if the guardian was on fire. The chance of getting the fish drop is increased by 1% per level with [[Looting]] (for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III), but the type of fish is not affected.
====Polar bears====
[[Polar bear]]s have a 25% chance of dropping 0–2 raw salmon when killed. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked salmon instead.
=== Fishing ===
{{main|Fishing}}Raw salmon can be obtained from [[fishing]]. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the [[Lure]] enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).

Catching salmon awards 1-6 experience.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|raw-salmon}}

=== Villager gifts ===
{{in|java}}, Fisherman villagers throw raw salmon at [[player]]s under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.

== Usage ==

=== Smelting ingredient ===

{{smelting
|Raw Salmon
|Cooked Salmon
|0.35
}}

=== Food ===

Raw salmon restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.2 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Cats ===
Raw salmon can be used to tame [[cat]]s with {{frac|1|3}} chance of success, get cats off of [[chest]]s, and [[bed]]s, [[breed]] cats, and make baby cats grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time. Additionally, raw salmon can be used to heal cats by {{hp|2|mob=1}}.

Raw salmon can be used to gain [[ocelot]] trust, breed ocelots, and make baby ocelots grow up by 10%.
=== Dolphins ===

A [[dolphin]] can be fed raw salmon to increase its trust of the player and cause it to interact with the player more often. However, unlike most other animal mobs, this does not cause them to breed.

Additionally, dolphins swim to the nearest chest in a [[shipwreck]] or [[underwater ruin]] after they are fed raw salmon. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they swim to another structure with a chest.

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level Fisherman [[villager]]s have 50%{{only|bedrock}} or {{frac|2|3}}{{only|java}} chance to buy 6 raw salmon and one [[emerald]] for 6 cooked salmon.

Journeyman-level Fisherman villagers offer to buy 13 raw salmon for an emerald.

=== Wolves ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, raw salmon can be fed only to [[wolves]] not at full health, healing them by {{hp|2|mob=1}}. Unlike other wolf food, raw salmon cannot be used to breed wolves or to accelerate the growth of baby wolves.

'''Water''' is a [[fluid]] that naturally generates abundantly in the [[Overworld]].

== Obtaining ==
Water blocks do not exist as items,{{only|java}} but water can be collected by using a [[bucket]] on a water source block or a full water [[cauldron]], creating a [[water bucket]].

{{IN|BE}}, it may be obtained as an item via inventory editing or add-ons.

=== Natural generation ===
Water naturally generates in the [[Overworld]] to form [[ocean]]s, [[river]]s and [[spring]]s. The water level is at [[altitude|layer 63]] near oceans and rivers, but changes depending on location due to the [[aquifer]] system, filling some carvers, noise caves and canyons with water at different levels. Water also generates as small puddles on the floor next to [[dripstone cluster]]s, and as clay pools on the floor of [[lush caves]].

Water also generates in [[village]]s, [[desert well]]s, [[stronghold]]s, [[woodland mansion]]s, [[ancient city|ancient cities]] and [[ocean monument]]s. 

Water never generates in [[the Nether]] and instantly disappears if placed there with a water bucket. However, water can exist in the Nether in a [[cauldron]]. Water can also be placed in the Nether using [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}} and {{cmd|fill}}. Although it does not naturally generate there, water can be placed and function normally in [[the End]].

{{IN|be}}, water also generates as part of [[ocean ruins]] with loot [[chest]]s, but only two water blocks generate: 
* One water block generates inside the loot chest, making it a [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] loot chest.
* The other water block generates on top of the loot chest.
These water blocks generate even if the ruin is located on the surface.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-36793}}</ref> This is not the case in {{el|je}}; if an underwater ruin generates on the surface, no water generates.<ref>{{bug|MC-136156}}</ref> This also happens with [[shipwreck]]s.

Water spends most of its time as stationary, rather than flowing – regardless of its level, or whether it contains a current downward or to the side. When specifically triggered by a block update, water changes to 'flowing', updates its level, then changes back to stationary. Water springs are generated as flowing, and oceans, and rivers are generated as stationary. This happens before most types of generated structure are created, and the main cause of water "glitches" is that generated structures do not trigger a block update to let water flow into them.

== Usage ==
=== Appearance ===
Water uses a translucent animated texture that is tinted differently in different biomes. {{IN|Java}}, water in cauldrons is completely opaque.<ref>{{bug|MC-13187}}</ref>

Unlike other translucent blocks such as [[ice]], [[stained glass]] and [[tinted glass]], water shows the opposite sides of its external planes when viewed from within and from outside.<ref>{{bug|MC-202578|||WAI}}</ref> However, it applies only to the top plane and four side planes; the bottom face is always unseen from above.<ref>{{bug|MC-190053}}</ref>

=== Swimming ===
{{main|Swimming}}

The button for {{control|swim|text=swimming}} is the same as the button for jumping; non-swimming players and mobs sink slowly in water. Holding the swim button raises the player through the water, and when the surface is reached, the player bobs up and down. The {{control|crouch}} button can be used to sink faster. The {{control|sprint}} button can be used to put the player in "swim mode" when the player is completely submerged in water. When in swim mode, the player is horizontal and one block high. The player has an arm-waving animation when viewed in third person or by other players.

Swimming in water is considerably slower against currents (see [[#Current|Current]] below), but faster when going with the current.

Most mobs that can stand can also swim any time they are in water, except for [[iron golem]]s, [[piglin]]s, [[hoglin]]s, [[strider]]s, [[piglin brute]]s and undead mobs. This can lead to drowning if the water is falling from above.

Water of any depth prevents any entity, including the player, from sustaining falling damage if they fall into it, regardless of the distance fallen.

Being inside of water also imparts a [[fog]] effect, tinted accordingly.

=== Spreading ===
{{Main|Fluid#Spread}}
[[File:Water spread v1-13.png|300px|right|An image showing water's spreading distance]]
Water spreads horizontally and downward into nearby [[air]] blocks. Water can spread downward infinitely until stopped by a block, and 7 blocks horizontally from a source block on a flat surface. Water spreads at a rate of 1 block every 5 game ticks, or 4 blocks per second.

When spreading horizontally, a weight is assigned to every direction water can flow. For each direction, this weight is initially set to 1000. Then, for every adjacent block it can flow into it tries to find a way down that is reachable in four or fewer blocks from the block it wants to flow to. When found, the flow weight for that direction is set to the shortest path distance to the way down. Finally, water spreads in the directions with the lowest flow weight.

Spreading water extinguishes [[fire]] and washes away certain types of items or placed blocks, causing them to drop as items and then carrying them along in the flow until the edge of the spread. Affected items include [[plant]]s (except trees), [[snow]], [[torch]]es, [[carpet]]s, [[redstone dust]] and some other redstone components, [[cobweb]], [[end rod]]s, [[head]]s, and [[flower pot]]s.

=== Source blocks ===
{{anchor|Water Spawner}} <!-- Compatibility anchor -->
{{about|the behavior and creation of source units of water|the removed block that created water sources|Water Spawner|section=1}}
A water source block is created from a flowing block that is horizontally adjacent to two or more other source blocks, and sitting on top of a solid block or another water source block. This allows water spawners to exist, in which a new source block immediately forms in the space left by removing a source block with a [[bucket]]. Pools of still water can be created by placing water source blocks in a confined area.

Water spawners can be constructed by arranging for two source blocks to flow into a third block. Each of the examples below require two source blocks, each on opposite ends of the hole, to create a renewable water source block in between.

While water source blocks only generate adjacent to solid blocks, they do not require a solid block to support them. Removing all adjacent blocks to a water source block only causes it to remain floating in the air.

{{IN|java}}, the formation of new water sources blocks can be disabled when the [[game rule]] {{cd|waterSourceConversion}} is set to {{cd|false}}.

<gallery>
2x2 water source.png|2x2 water spawner (every corner is renewable)
3x1 water source.png|3x1 water spawner (middle water block is renewable)
L-shaped water source.png|L-shaped water spawner (corner water block is renewable)
</gallery>

A [[dispenser]] loaded with a filled [[bucket]] places a water source block in an empty block in front of it when activated. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it sucks the source into the bucket when activated.

In snowy [[biome]]s, water source blocks have a chance to turn into [[ice]] if directly under the sky. Ice blocks under brighter light levels melt back into water source blocks (except in [[the Nether]]). Ice reverts to water when broken, but only if there is a solid block under it.

=== Current ===
The current in a water block determines both the direction it appears to flow and the direction an [[entity]] such as a player or [[boat]] is pushed from that block.

Water with a current pushes players and [[mob]]s at a speed of about 1.39 meters per second, or 25 blocks every 18 seconds. Players that are in creative flying mode don’t get pushed.{{only|je}}<ref>{{bug|MCPE-84592}}</ref>

The horizontal current in a water block is based on a vector sum of the flows to and from that block from its four horizontal neighbors. For example, if a block receives water from the north and sends it both south and east, but borders a solid block on its west edge, then a south-southeast current exits from that block, because 2 southward flows (in and out) are combined with 1 eastward flow (out). Thus, 16 horizontal directions are possible. If a branch in a channel is 2 blocks wide at its entrance, then entities float into it rather than continuing in a straight line.

Water blocks can create a downward current. A downward current in a water block is caused by the block below it. Most blocks that do not have a solid upper face cause downward current on above water blocks. Also, ice and falling water blocks (blocks created by spreading downward) cause downward current on the water block above. Falling water blocks have a downward current by default.

=== Light ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, every block of water reduces [[light]] by 1 extra level (in addition to the normal fading-out of light). {{IN|java}}, water does not cause any additional decrease for block light, but diffuses sky light, causing the light to fade with depth. Underwater visibility changes depending on the biome the player is in. The [[Night Vision]] and [[Conduit Power]] effects increase underwater visibility.

=== Color ===
Water has several colors, depending on the biome.

===Water and lava===
{{Main|Fluid#Mixing}}

Water and lava can produce [[stone]], [[cobblestone]], or [[obsidian]] based on how they interact. If water touches a lava source, the lava source turns to obsidian. If both touch each other while flowing, cobblestone is made and no sources are removed, and if lava flows downward onto water, the water turns to stone.

===Interactions with mobs===
====Direct contact====

Water damages [[endermen]], [[snow golem]]s, [[Strider|striders]] and [[blaze]]s, at a rate of {{hp|1}} per half second. If water comes into contact with a [[shulker]] or an [[enderman]], the mob teleports away.

====Suffocation====
{{Main|Damage#Suffocation in water}}

Players and mobs (except [[aquatic mob]]s, [[undead mob]]s and [[iron golem]]s) have a breath meter that lasts 15 seconds. After they run out of breath, they take {{hp|2}} suffocation damage every second until they die, surface, or enter [[bubble column]]s.

[[Dolphin]]s are a special case in drowning: they take suffocation damage when underwater for about 4 minutes, but also take suffocation damage when in air for about 2 minutes.

Each level of the [[Respiration]] enchantment adds 15 seconds to the breath meter and grants an x/(x+1) chance (where x is the Respiration level) of not taking damage after that time: 30 seconds and an average {{hp|1}}/second with Respiration I, 45 seconds and an average of {{frac|2|3}} damage/second with Respiration II, and 60 seconds and an average of {{frac|1|2}} damage/second with Respiration III.

If a [[husk]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually becomes a [[zombie]]. If a [[zombie]] suffocates underwater, it starts to shake and eventually transforms into a [[drowned]].

=== Slower mining speed===
Players with their head underwater require 5 times the normal amount of time to mine blocks while standing on the ground, or 25 times while not on the ground. If a player wears a helmet with the [[Aqua Affinity]] enchantment, then underwater mining speed while standing on the ground is the same as on land, and 5 times slower if not standing on the ground.

===Explosions===
Water does not prevent explosions from activating. Water has a high blast resistance, causing it to absorb any normal blasts, with the exception of explosions from [[underwater TNT]].

===Hardening concrete powder ===
When water comes into contact with [[concrete powder]], the powder hardens into solid [[concrete]].

===Sponges===
When a dry [[sponge]] comes into contact with a water source or flowing block, it becomes a wet [[sponge]], absorbing all water within 3 to 5 blocks in all directions. [[Kelp]] and [[lily pad]]s within the absorbed water blocks are destroyed and drop as items, and [[seagrass]] is destroyed without dropping anything. Mobs that take damage out of water are affected as a side-effect. 

Sponges do not absorb water from [[Waterlogging|waterlogged]] blocks, nor water that comes into contact by flowing back in from outside the area of absorption. For instance, placing a sponge 4 or more blocks from a single water source removes the flowing water in the area of effect, but as the flow from the source resumes it is not affected by the wet sponge.

A sponge instantly absorbs nearby water when it is placed next to water or when water comes into contact with it (by being placed next to the sponge, or by flowing toward it). A sponge absorbs [[water]] around itself (water source blocks or flowing water) out to a [[taxicab distance]] of 7 in all directions (including up and down), but won't absorb more than 65 blocks of water (water closest to the sponge is absorbed first). The absorption propagates only from water to water and does not "jump over" non-water blocks (including air).

===Dripping===
[[File:WaterDropletsExample.png|thumb|Dripping water.]]
Water above a non-transparent block (except for stairs, fences, or slabs) produces dripping particles on the underside of that block. If a block of [[Pointed Dripstone|pointed dripstone]] hangs under any block directly beneath a water source, the drips can slowly fill up a [[cauldron]] placed underneath. Without the dripstone, a cauldron does not fill.

===Vertical transport===
[[Bubble column]]s are created by placing magma blocks or [[soul sand]] under water. These can be used to transport [[mobs]] or items quickly vertically.

==Issues==
{{Issue list}}

==Trivia==
*The texture subtly overlaid on the screen when underwater is that of the original water texture from 0.0.12a.
**The outdatedness of this texture is not considered a bug or oversight, unlike many other outdated textures.<ref>{{bug|MC-241000|||Invalid}}</ref>
**This texture is particularly difficult to notice due to its extreme transparency,<ref>{{bug|MC-128337}}</ref> as well as the fact that other blocks likely make the scene visually noisy enough to further obscure it under most conditions.
* While underwater, the player's FOV (field of vision) is lowered by 10 to simulate light {{w|refraction}}. This can be disabled via the "FOV Effects" [[option]].
*If a player or mob with the [[Levitation]] effect touches water, the effect is completely negated.<ref>{{bug|MC-83369}}</ref>

A '''rabbit's foot''' is a [[brewing]] item obtained from [[rabbit]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
Each [[rabbit]] has a 10% chance to drop a rabbit's foot when killed by the [[player]]. This chance can be increased by 3% per level using a sword enchanted with [[Looting]].

A [[fox]] sometimes spawns with a rabbit's foot in its mouth, which always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, which causes the fox to drop the rabbit's foot.

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
A tamed [[cat]] has a 70% chance of giving the player a gift when the player wakes up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a rabbit's foot.

== Usage ==

=== Brewing ingredient ===

{{Brewing
  |head=1
  |Rabbit's Foot
  |Mundane Potion
  |base=Water Bottle
}}
{{brewing
  |foot=1
  |showname=1
  |Rabbit's Foot
  |Potion of Leaping
}}

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level cleric [[villager]]s buy rabbit's feet for an [[emerald]] as part of their trade: {{in|java}} they buy 2, and {{in|bedrock}} they buy 4.

'''Coal''' is a mineral [[item]] mainly obtained from [[Coal Ore|coal ore]]. It is primarily used for crafting [[torches]] and [[Campfire|campfires]], as well as [[fuel]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===
{{see also|Coal Ore#Natural generation}}
{{LootChestItem|coal}}

=== Mining ===

[[Coal ore]] are mined using a [[pickaxe]] and drops 1 piece of coal. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra piece per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 with Fortune III.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Wither skeleton]]s have a {{Frac|1|3}} chance of dropping a single coal upon death. The maximum amount of coal is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]]. The chance of a wither skeleton ''not'' dropping any coal can be found using the formula <code>2 / (Looting Level + 3)</code>. For example, Looting III gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance of not dropping any coal. All other amounts have an equal chance of occurring.

=== Crafting ===

=== Smelting ===

 |Coal
 |0,1
|foot=1
}}

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Coal}}

=== Fuel ===

When used in a [[furnace]] as a fuel, a piece of coal lasts 80 seconds (smelting up to 8 items), like [[charcoal]]. Coal used as fuel lasts more than 5 times longer than [[wood planks]] or [[wood]] logs used as fuel, being more efficient than any other use of wood for smelting {{in|je}}, but outstripped by [[wooden slabs]] {{in|be}}. 

Coal and charcoal are also the only fuels accepted by [[Minecart with Furnace|furnace minecart]]s. They provide approximately four minutes of transit each.

=== Trading ===

Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 10 coal for one [[emerald]].

{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer and toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy 15 coal for one emerald. Novice-level weaponsmith villagers and apprentice-level butcher villagers have {{frac|2|3}} chance of offering to buy 15 coal for one emerald.

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer, toolsmith, and weaponsmith villagers and apprentice-level butcher villagers buy 15 coal for one emerald.

[[trading|Trade]]s that involve coal cannot be substituted by [[charcoal]].

New 'beta' launcher added. See Launcher version history for version history from this point onward.
February 24, 2020With launcher version 2.1.1382x, patch notes for the Launcher are added to the About section.
October 21, 2020It is announced that Java Edition will soon be using Microsoft accounts for added security enhancements. With this, all Mojang Studios accounts will be migrated to Microsoft accounts.[10][11] Since December 1, 2020, new players are no longer able to sign up for a Mojang Studios account; they are instead required to use or create a Microsoft account to buy and play the game.
November 27, 2020With launcher version 2.2.74x it is now "Unified" and one can now log in with a Microsoft Account and launch Minecraft Dungeons, which previously required a separate launcher.
October 16, 2021The Minecraft PC Bundle is announced at Minecraft Live 2021 to be added to Xbox Game Pass for PC. The bundle includes Minecraft Launcher for Windows (the new Minecraft Launcher) available from Microsoft Store on Windows 10/11,[12] and will for the first time include Minecraft: Bedrock Edition in addition to Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft Dungeons.
March 10, 2022Mojang Studios and Legacy Minecraft accounts are no longer supported to play games in the launcher, and user who still haven't migrated to Microsoft accounts are directed to do so.
The legacy Minecraft Launcher (version 1.6.x) is discontinued (along with support for Windows XP and Vista) since this launcher does not support Microsoft accounts.
July 2, 2022A crown had been added to the pig on the menu image in memoriam of the popular YouTuber Technoblade, whose death from Stage 4 cancer had been announced 2 days prior.
August 23, 2022 Minecraft Preview is added to the Launcher.

Trivia

  • In version 2.2.2529 release notes there's text that reads: T⍑ᒷ ᔑ ̇/𝙹ꖎ𝙹ℸ ̣ ꖎᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ リ𝙹ℸ ̣ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ|| ᓭᒷᒷᒲ - which translates to "THE AXOLOTS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM".
  • Both Alpha and Classic versions of Minecraft: Java Edition are listed as "old_alpha", despite them not being the same.[13]
  • The Minecraft Launcher doesn't store passwords locally. Instead, it uses a 'refresh token'.
  • The current Minecraft Launcher is the eighth launcher for Minecraft: Java Edition, and the third that was built to automatically update itself.
  • Game crashes are reported to Mojang Studios through Hopper.
  • The legacy Minecraft Launcher can be downloaded here (version 1.6.93, ~4.6MB as opposed to the modern launcher's ~85MB). However, the legacy Minecraft Launcher is incompatible with Microsoft accounts and was discontinued in Q2 2021 due to account migration.
  • In version 2.3.240, the pig on the Minecraft Launcher screen was given a crown in light of popular Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade passing away due to cancer.
