Revision as of 18:05, 20 April 2014

The resource pack system is an API replacement for texture packs and a way for players to further customize their Minecraft experience.[1][2]

Resource packs allow players to customize textures, music, sounds,[3] language files, end credits, splashes[4], and fonts[5] without any code modification.[5][6] If the resource pack system supports modification and addition of code in future updates as mentioned by Mojang, every mod/plugin will be its own resource pack, with vanilla incorporated as a resource pack by itself; users will be able to apply multiple resource packs at once. However, for security reasons, there would be limits to what could be modified. Executing unstable code could corrupt a client copy of Minecraft.

Texture Packs

All texture pack functionality has been incorporated into resource packs as of 1.6. All prior texture packs must first be converted to be usable by the game. A tool called Minecraft Texture Ender is available from Mojang to automatically convert "unstitched" (1.5 compatible) texture packs to resource packs. "Stitched" packs, which are texture packs meant for versions prior to 1.5, must first be unstitched with Unstitcher. Converted packs function as texture packs when loaded in the game. Texture packs may also be unstitched manually, but this method is extremely time-consuming.

Additional functionality

Resource packs include a new metadata format that allows plugin developers in addition to Mojang themselves to easily include whole new types of resources such as sounds, language files, music, etc. with minimal difficulty. The new format will also allow Minecraft to more easily detect out of date packs, while still being able to load them. Resource packs use the entire assets folder in the minecraft directory and "1.6.jar" (a new version format in the new launcher) for usage of additional resources, and include pack.mcmeta (used to describe the resource pack like pack.txt before 1.6.1), and pack.png (a picture for the resource pack, same as texture packs).

Designing a Resource Pack

To make a Resource pack, first go to the minecraft folder. On Windows, it will be called .minecraft and it will be in the AppData folder under your user name. On a Mac, it is called minecraft and you can find it by going to Finder, pressing Shift-Command-G and typing "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft" and pressing enter. Under Linux it is called .minecraft and is in your home directory (hidden by default).

Once you've gotten to minecraft, open the resourcepacks folder. Create a new folder for your new resource pack, naming it whatever you want your resource pack to be called.

pack.mcmeta

Now the first thing you'll need is a pack.mcmeta file. This lets Minecraft know that the folder is a resource pack and it also allows you to customize the description that appears when you're selecting which resource pack to use in the game. To create your pack.mcmeta file, open a text editor and paste in the following lines: 

{
   "pack":{
      "pack_format":1,
      "description":"My Resource Pack"
   }
}

You can leave the description as My Resource Pack or you can change it to something more exciting. If you decide you need something with fancy characters, you can look up the code for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters Say you want to use the letter thorn: Þ You'd put that in as \u00DE. Just make sure you use a backslash and not a forward slash.

Whether you change the description or not, you'll need to save your text file as pack.mcmeta. Make sure your text editor is actually saving it in plain text rather than something special like rich text format.

pack.png

If you want to make a new image to show in the resource pack selection screen, you can make a 128x128 pixel png and call it pack.png. It goes in the same place as pack.mcmeta

assets

Next you need to create a folder called assets and create a folder called minecraft inside it. This inner minecraft is where you'll put all of the custom files you'll create to make your resource pack unique.

Now you're ready to find the files that you want to customize. You don't need to put in anything that isn't changing from the default because Minecraft will automatically use the default for any missing files. So say you want everything to be the same, except that you want to make your brick texture purple instead of red. You'll need to create a new image file with purple bricks, but it needs to have the same name and file path as the original. So for the bricks, you'll need to go into the minecraft folder inside assets, and create a folder called textures. Inside that, you'll need to make a blocks folder, and inside that you can put your purple brick image file, making sure to call it brick.png.

You might be wondering how to figure out what the names are and what the file structure is, and how to find the original files themselves if you only want to make a slight change rather than starting from scratch. For that you have to look in one of two places, depending on the type of file that you're changing.

If you want to make custom icons, music, records, or sounds, go back to the first minecraft folder that contains resourcepacks. Now open up the assets folder (this is a different one from the one you made). You should see folders labeled icons, music, records and sounds. Inside, you'll find the original files for each category. If you want to update an icon, just copy the one you want and then go back to the minecraft folder that you recently created. Create a new icon folder inside, and paste your icon file into it. Now you can open that file and modify it however you like, and it will still have the correct name and file path.

To find the files for fonts, languages, texts, and textures, it's a little bit more involved. Go back to the first minecraft folder that contains resourcepacks and this time, open up the versions folder. Inside you should see a folder that corresponds to the current version (i.e. 1.7.2). Open that to find the 1.7.2.jar file and open that jar file using whatever unzipping program you have. Inside the new folder that it creates, you'll see a whole slew of class files, but somewhere in there you'll find yet another assets folder with yet another minecraft folder inside. Open them up and you'll see folders called font, lang, texts, and textures. Again, you'll find the default files inside and you can copy the ones you want to change and put them into the minecraft folder that's hidden in the depths of your new resourcepack folder.

If that's too confusing, it might be helpful to look at a video tutorial or two. You can also look into downloading a default resource pack that you can just copy and modify, deleting the branches of folders that you don't need. That might be simpler, depending on what you're doing.

Adding Languages

You can add new languages to Minecraft by resource pack. Assume that your language code (might be ISO 639) is 'LANG' and country/region code is 'COUNTRY' (might be ISO 3166-1), pack.mcmeta will be: 

{
   "pack":{
      "pack_format":1,
      "description":"Resource pack sample"
   },
   "language":{
      "LANG_COUNTRY":{
         "name":"Language name",
         "region":"Country/region name",
         "bidirectional":false
      }
   }
}

Then, put LANG_COUNTRY.lang file to assets/minecraft/lang folder. Choose your resource pack, open the language selection screen, your new language will be there. Please note that pack.mcmeta goes in assets/minecraft, not in assets/minecraft/lang. Also note that the above pack.mcmeta is the same file as the pack.mcmeta file that gives the metadata for your resource pack. If you already have a pack.mcmeta file, you must update it with the information for your new language.

NOTE: As of 1.7, you can choose multiple resource packs at once. If you want to use new language and texture pack for versions 1.6.4 to 1.6, you need to combine them manually because multiple resource packs could not be selected before 1.7.

Animation Properties

{ 
   "animation":{
      "width":1,
      "height":7,
      "frametime":1,
      "frames":[{
         "index":0,
         "time": 0
         },
         1,2,3,4,5,6,4,2]
   }
}

width and height are the number of frames in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. frametime is the default delay to use between frames. frames is a list of frames, in the order they are to play in. index and time can be used together to specify a frame that should take a different amount of time than the default.

NOTE: all you really need to make a texture animated is this, though it will make each frame last only one frame: 

{
  "animation": {}
}

Saved as the file you want animated (like stone).png.mcmeta. It then needs to be placed in the same folder as your texture (stone).png is located in.

Texture Properties

{ 
   "texture":{
      "blur":false,
      "clamp":true
   }
}

This optional section can be added to your texture .png.mcmeta to add special properties to its textures. blur will allow the texture to blur when viewed close-up, and clamp will prevent the texture from repeating in situations where it otherwise might (this can most easily be seen when setting clamp to false in shadow.png.mcmeta - multiple shadows will appear under some mobs.)

Font Properties

{ 
   "font":{
      "characters":{
         "default":{
            "width":16.0,
            "spacing":1.5,
            "left":0.0
         },
         "0":{
            "width":16.0,
            "spacing":1.5,
            "left":0.0
         },
         "46":{
            "width":16.0,
            "spacing":1.5,
            "left":0.0
         },
         "255":{
            "width":16.0,
            "spacing":1.5,
            "left":0.0
         }
      }
   }
}

0 is the first character and 255 is the last.

Usage

This function would be great for adventure maps where you'd want to change the music of a certain disc, or if you'd want to change the end credits to something more user-friendly. Or it could be useful to a server that wants specific textures on the server. You could even change the name of the item itself in Survival maps. And of course, changing the textures of things like texture packs have done. Keep in mind that you can also change the words of the Death Messages, Title-Screen options and some other things.

A '''heart of the sea''' is a rare [[item]] that can be crafted into a [[conduit]].

== Obtaining ==
The heart of the sea must be found. It cannot be crafted or obtained by trading, making it a [[non-renewable resource]].

A heart of the sea is obtained from a [[buried treasure]]. The location is marked with a noticeable red X on a [[Explorer Map|buried treasure map]], which is found in [[Ocean_Ruins|ocean ruins]] and [[Shipwreck|shipwrecks]]. Feeding [[raw cod]] or [[raw salmon]] to a [[dolphin]] causes the dolphin to swim toward the nearest [[buried treasure]], [[shipwreck]], or [[ocean ruins]].

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}

A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>

If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.

=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}

=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.

=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.

Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.

Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.

For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].

==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.

=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.


Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.

Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.

After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}

[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]

A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.

{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.

{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.

: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}

Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.

=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.

Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}

Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).

=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.

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

'''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.

=== Smelting ===

|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]].

A '''bed''' is a [[Dye|dyeable]] [[block]] that allows a player to sleep and to reset their [[spawn]] point to within a few blocks of the bed in the [[Overworld]]. If the bed is obstructed or removed, the player spawns at the default world spawning location.

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
;Igloo
A red bed naturally generates in each [[igloo]].
;Village
Beds of various colors generate in [[village]] houses, depending on the specific structure and [[biome]]:
* [[Desert]] village houses have cyan, green, or lime beds.
* [[Plains]] village houses have white or yellow beds.
* [[Savanna]] village houses have orange, red, or yellow beds.
* [[Snowy taiga]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}} and [[taiga]] village houses have blue or purple beds.
* [[Snowy tundra]] village houses have blue, red, or white beds.

=== Breaking ===
Beds can be mined with any [[tool]], or without a tool.<ref>{{bug|MC-192722||Beds have no assigned tool}}</ref>

{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Bed|sprite=red-bed|any}}

A bed also drops itself as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level shepherd villagers sell 1 of 16 beds for 3 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.

== Usage ==
=== Sleeping ===
[[File:Sleep Animation.gif|240px|thumb|Player falling asleep.]]

Beds are used by pressing the {{control|use item}} button while looking at the bed.

A player sleeps by {{control|using|using}} a bed during a [[thunderstorm]], or at [[night]] (between 12542 and 23459 ticks in clear weather, when stars appear in the sky, or between 12010 and 23991 ticks in rainy weather). Players can sleep during a thunderstorm even if they are in a biome where it does not rain (i.e. Desert). Attempting to use a bed at any other time results in the message "You can only sleep  at night or during thunderstorms". A player sleeps in a bed for 101 in-game [[tick]]s, or 5.05 seconds before the time skips to the next day. Sleeping in a bed with the {{cmd|gamerule doDaylightCycle}} set to <code>false</code> results in the player being kicked out of the bed after the 101 ticks, but does not change time of the world to day.

Sleeping in a bed is possible only in the [[Overworld]]. Attempting to sleep in a bed in [[the Nether]], [[the End]], and [[custom dimension]]s in which they are disabled causes it to [[explosion|explode]] and set [[fire]] to surrounding blocks; unless {{cmd|gamerule respawnBlocksExplode}}{{only|bedrock}} is set to {{cd|false}}.<ref>{{bug|mcpe-28723}} – "Exploding bed in the Nether" resolved as "Works As Intended". This is referenced {{in|je}} when a player is killed by "Intentional Game Design". </ref> The explosion has power 5, which is stronger than [[TNT]] (4), but not as strong as a charged [[creeper]] or [[End Crystal|end crystal]] (6). The explosion centers on the head part of the bed. [[Villager]]s can sleep normally in any dimension without the bed being blown up.<ref>{{bug|MC-146515|||WAI}}</ref> Upon death from a bed explosion, the [[death messages|message]] "'''(Player) was killed by [Intentional Game Design]'''" appears.

The player must be close to the bed to sleep. If the player is close enough to click on the bed, but not close enough to sleep in it, the message "You may not rest now, the bed is too far away"{{only|java|short=1}}/"Bed is too far away"{{only|bedrock|short=1}} appears. A player must be within 2 blocks of the bed {{in|JE}} or 3 blocks {{in|BE}} to use the bed.

If a "monster" is within 8 blocks of the bed horizontally (in the X- and Z-axis), and 5 blocks vertically (in the Y-axis), the message "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby" appears and the player is prevented from sleeping until the monsters leave or are killed. Most hostile mobs, as well as some neutral mobs prevent players from sleeping, as shown in the table below.

{{notelist}}
If the player has not entered a bed and didn't die for 3 in-game days, [[phantom]]s can spawn unless {{cmd|gamerule doInsomnia}} is set to {{cd|false}}. {{in|java}}, this can be verified by checking if the "Time Since Last Rest" [[statistic]] is greater than 1.00 h.

A hostile mob can wake a player that is sleeping.

The player also cannot sleep in a bed occupied by another player, resulting in the message, "This bed is occupied".

A player can, however, sleep in a bed being used by a villager. The player may first wake the villager (pressing {{control|use}} on the villager) and then quickly enter the bed before the villager can lie down again. The villager reclaims the bed after the player wakes. The villager is kicked out of its bed when a player attempts to sleep there.

A player also cannot sleep while on fire, while poisoned, or while starving.

If all sleeping requirements are met and the player enters a bed, the player is positioned in the bed. The player falls asleep as the screen fades to black. {{IN|bedrock}}, the sleeping animation slowly lowers the player into bed.

Once all players in a world are asleep, after 5 seconds (100 ticks) the time of day changes to sunrise. (time 0)

During this time, the chat window is focused, and the player can leave the bed by clicking the {{btn|Leave Bed}} button.

[[Waterlogging|Waterlogged]] beds{{only|bedrock}} cannot be slept in unless the player or villager has the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} or {{EffectLink|Conduit Power}} status effects. Attempting to use a waterlogged bed otherwise does not display any message.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-35802}}</ref>

Beds displaying an error above the hotbar is a feature exclusive to beds; other blocks that cannot be used do not display such a message.<ref>{{bug|MC-160479}} resolved as "Works As Intended"</ref>

If there are two or more blocks of space above the bed, then the player can wake up on the bed. If there is less than two blocks above the bed and there is room on the side, then the player wakes up on the side of the bed. If there is no space on the side of the bed and there is less than two blocks above the bed, then the player still wakes up on top of the bed, but suffocates if it's a solid block. 

Villagers always wake up on top of the bed, meaning they can suffocate if there isn't enough room above the bed.

====Passing the night====
Sleeping changes the [[daylight cycle|time of day]] to sunrise and resets the [[weather]] cycle, changing the weather to clear conditions. {{IN|JE}}, the weather cycle is only reset if it is currently raining or snowing. The player wakes up next to the bed, facing the bed.

Sleeping does not accelerate processes that take place over time such as the growth of [[crops]] or [[smelting]]. If {{cmd|gamerule doDaylightCycle}} is <code>false</code>, the player instead wakes up in the night.

To skip the night in multiplayer, all players in the [[Overworld]] must be in bed at the same time. Pressing the {{btn|Leave Bed}} button is not necessary in this case. The percentage of players that need to sleep to skip the night can be customized with the game rule {{cd|playersSleepingPercentage}}.

Villagers are unable to skip the night by sleeping in beds, unlike players.

If the bed is destroyed while the player is in it, due to for example an explosion or by another player, the player wakes prematurely and the night does not pass.

====Setting the spawn point====
Once a player has entered a bed (or right clicked the bed during daytime), their spawn point is set to the location of that bed. {{IN|java}}, multiple players can set their spawn point on a single bed. {{IN|bedrock}}, the last player to use a specific bed is the only player who can respawn there, and players who had previously slept there respawn at the world spawn.

{{ctrl|Using}} a bed in the daytime likewise sets the spawn point, without actually entering the bed. 

When a bed explodes, it does not set the spawn point. 

The message "Respawn point set" is displayed in chat when the respawn point is successfully changed.

The check for a bed is made only when the player respawns. This means that the bed can be destroyed and replaced or even reoriented, but as long as there is a bed present in the same location, the player can respawn there. If a player's bed is absent, or if the area around the bed is made unsuitable for respawning (see below), a message is displayed saying ''You have no home bed or charged respawn anchor, or it was obstructed''{{only|je}}/''Your home bed was missing or obstructed''{{only|be}}, and the player respawns at the [[Spawn#World spawn|world spawn]] point. 

When choosing where to respawn the player, the northwesternmost (lowest X- and Z-coordinates) location of the seven blocks adjacent to the head of the bed is chosen first. If this location is obstructed, the next choice is to its south (+Z), rather than the east (+X). Only when all seven locations around the head are obstructed are the three remaining ones adjacent to the foot then to be considered. 

For a location to be unobstructed, the block at the level of the bed must be air or non-solid (e.g. torches, but not glass) and there must be a space with a solid block below it and two non-colliding blocks for the player to stand in 0-2 blocks below the bed. It does not matter if the bed itself has blocks above it. Putting a slab one block above a bed can act as a two block tall space, as the bed is half a block tall. The bed never spawns the player on or directly below itself even if all other locations are obstructed. If a bed is obstructed, the player's spawn point is cleared after they respawn. That is, even if the bed is subsequently made usable again, the player continues to respawn at the world spawn until interacting with the bed again. 

Specifically, when interacting with it, the location of the ''head'' of the bed is saved as the spawn point, and if a bed is in that space (whether it is the foot or the head) then the respawn works. This can be observed by reorienting the bed with its head in the same location. Interacting with it does not produce a "Respawn point set" message as the game doesn't change the saved spawn point. If a bed is reoriented so that its foot is in this space, it still functions on the next respawn, but it can also be interacted with to update the spawn point to the new head of the bed and cause a "Respawn point set" message. Attempting the reverse, reorienting the bed so that it overlaps the original location of the foot, results in a respawn at world spawn. However, the location of the foot of the bed is also saved. If the bed is moved so that part of it overlaps the original location of the head, it can be observed that the same locations need to be obstructed to stop spawning. It is possible to respawn 2 blocks away from the bed this way.

=== Bouncing===
Falling onto a bed bounces the player with 66% strength – the bouncing-up velocity is 66% of the impact velocity. The player also takes 50% of normal fall damage.

Baby villagers bounce on beds during the day.

If the player is falling while sleeping requirements are met, and presses {{control|use}} on a bed within reach before hitting the ground, the fall damage is delayed until the player wakes.

A player can bounce on a bed while another player or villager is sleeping on it without waking the player or the villager up.

Villagers can be pushed onto beds, as the bed is half a block tall.

=== Curing===
Each bed in the vicinity of a zombie villager has a chance to speed up the [[Zombie_Villager#Curing|process of curing the zombie villager]]. Iron bars (such as in a prison cell) also have this effect.

=== Placement===
Beds require two blocks of floor space. Placement requires at least 2 blocks from the player's facing direction. When placed, the foot of the bed is placed on the block selected and the head of the bed on the block farther away from the player. {{IN|bedrock}}, beds require solid blocks below them when placed. However, the bed remains in place if its supporting blocks are later removed. {{IN|java}}, beds do not require supporting blocks and can be placed anywhere, provided there is enough room.

==Issues==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia==
* The reason beds explode in the Nether and the End is because Notch found it was the easiest solution to dimension-unique respawning.<ref>{{tweet|Notch|1259681657793077250|duh|11 May 2020}}, in response to {{tweet|NoahBandito|1259681319392550912|So you're telling me the "Inteded Game Design" should actually be "Sorry, I was too lazy to code"?|11 May 2020}}</ref>
** Dimension-unique respawning was eventually implemented via the [[respawn anchor]], and gained command support at the same time. Despite this, beds and respawn anchors still explode in invalid dimensions.
* If the player quits the game while sleeping, upon return the player wakes up beside the bed.
* Using the {{cmd|teleport}} command while another player is sleeping still teleports the sleeping player, but the player wakes immediately.{{only|java}}
* If the player places a bed on [[ice]], running over the bed acts like running over ice, similar to slabs.
* When placed using the {{cmd|setblock}} command, only one half of a bed is placed, because beds are two blocks long. A single half can be slept in like a whole bed.
* Villagers can sleep in the Nether and the End without causing the bed to explode.<ref>{{bug|MC-146515}} Resolved as Works As Intended</ref>
* While the block state used to determine the half of a two-block block such as [[door]]s and double-tall [[flower]]s is called ''half'', in the case of beds this is called ''part''.
* Players and villagers do not drown or take damage from lava while in a bed, even if the bed is covered in lava.
*The red bed was the original default bed color. In [[Java Edition 1.12]] and [[Pocket Edition 1.1.0]] version of the game, the default color was changed to white.

[[File:Eating Alex.png|thumb|right|150px]]
'''Food''' refers to any consumable [[item]]s that, when eaten, restore [[hunger]] points and hunger saturation points, and sometimes cause [[status effect]]s. They are essential to survival, as going without them eventually causes the player to starve, causing damage until reaching {{hp|10}} in Easy [[difficulty]], and {{hp|1}} on Normal. [[Hunger#Effects of hunger|Starvation]] damage kills the player in Hard and [[Hardcore]] Mode.

Food is eaten by holding {{control|use}} while having the food item selected in the hot bar or in the off-hand.

[[Cake]] cannot be eaten this way, and must instead be placed on a surface before being eaten.

With the exception of [[chorus fruit]], [[golden apple]]s, [[honey bottle]]s, [[milk]], and [[suspicious stew]]{{only|Java}}, food cannot be eaten when the hunger bar is completely full. In [[Creative]] Mode, any food can be consumed at any time.

All food items and ingredients can be stacked in the inventory slots, except for [[milk]], [[rabbit stew]], [[mushroom stew]], [[beetroot soup]], [[suspicious stew]], and [[cake]].{{only|Java}}

This page covers food items for players; blocks and items that can be eaten by other [[mob]]s are not included here.

== Hunger and saturation ==
{{main|Hunger#Mechanics}}
{{seealso|Tutorials/Hunger_management}}

[[File:Raw_and_Cooked_Chicken_Comparison.png|thumb|Raw (left) and cooked (right) [[chicken]]. Eating raw chicken can give the [[player]] [[food poisoning]].]]

[[Player]]s have two different food statistics, one of which is visible: The hunger level is visible, and the saturation level is not.

[[Saturation]] is the first statistic to decrease when a player performs energy-intensive actions, and it must be completely depleted before the visible hunger meter begins decreasing. Although the current saturation level is generally hidden, the player can tell that their saturation level is completely depleted if the visible hunger meter begins displaying a jittering effect.

Eating a food item replenishes a fixed number of hunger points and saturation points, based on the item. Some foods have a better ratio of saturation to hunger points replenished than others. Overeating the hunger bar does not overflow to saturation.

A player's current saturation level can never exceed their current hunger level. A player at a hunger level of 5, for example, can be at a maximum of 5 saturation. Food always restores hunger (raising the saturation limit) ''before'' supplying saturation. The most efficient use of food is to eat low-saturation food to fill the hunger bar, followed by high-saturation food to fill saturation.  While a few hunger points may be wasted when eating nourishing food when nearly full, eating nourishing foods on a low hunger bar wastes even more points of saturation.  Maximizing saturation increases the length of time (and/or the amount of damage healed) before the player needs to eat again.

=== Usage ===

Most foods can be eaten by holding down the right-click button with a food item in hand. It takes 1.61 seconds to eat most foods; dried kelp takes 0.865 seconds to eat. Additionally, a player can hold food in their [[offhand]] {{in|Java}}.

While eating, food [[particles]] form from the player's mouth correlated with their respective food item, and produces a munching noise. Eating also slows the user significantly.

Unlike other foods, [[cake]] has to be eaten by placing it, then right-clicking on its block form. Eating cake is instant and it has 7 edible slices, each giving {{hunger|2}} hunger and 0.4 hunger [[saturation]].

=== Nourishment value ===

Nourishment is defined as the ratio of saturation to hunger points restored. Foods with higher nourishment values should be eaten when the hunger bar is more full.

The "nourishment" table below can help by categorizing foods by their saturation-to-hunger restoration ratios. See the more detailed [[#Foods|Foods]] table for the exact hunger and saturation statistics of each food.

A '''compass''' is an item used to point to the world spawn or to a [[lodestone]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

|A2= Iron Ingot |B2= Redstone Dust   |C2= Iron Ingot

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|compass}}

=== Trading ===

{{IN|java}}, expert-level librarian [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to sell a single compass for 4 [[emerald]]s.

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level librarian villagers have a {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell a single compass for 4 emeralds.

== Usage ==

Normally, the compass' needle points toward the world [[Spawn#World spawn|spawn point]]. The compass points to spawn when viewed in any way, including as a dropped [[Item (entity)|item]], in a player's hand, in an inventory or the crafting table, or in an [[item frame]]. The direction the needle points to is relative to the player who is viewing it. When a compass in an item frame is rotated, the needle turns accordingly.

In [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], the compass' needle spins and points in random directions.

The compass can be used on a [[lodestone]], after which it is named lodestone compass by default and points to that lodestone as long as the compass is in the same dimension as the lodestone, but if the compass is taken to a different dimension, it spins randomly, as a normal compass would in the Nether or the End. If the lodestone is destroyed, it also spins randomly, even if the lodestone is replaced afterward.  However, if a lodestone compass is placed in storage, the lodestone can be broken and replaced without the compass losing the attunement, as long as the compass remains in storage while the lodestone is missing.

A lodestone compass appears [[enchanting|enchanted]], similar to the [[Enchanted Golden Apple|enchanted golden apple]].

Using {{cmd|setworldspawn}} to change the world spawn also changes where the compass points.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Compass, Compass.gif}}

=== Anvil usage ===

{{:Map/BE|position}}

=== Trading ===

A single compass can be sold to a journeyman-level cartographer villager for 1 [[emerald]].{{only|java}}

A single compass can be sold to an expert-level cartographer villager for 1 emerald as their sixth trade.{{only|bedrock}}
 
A compass is also part of the cost of [[explorer map]]s:

* An ocean explorer map and{{only|java|short=1}}/or{{only|bedrock|short=1}} a woodland explorer map can be bought from a journeyman-level cartographer for 12 emeralds and one compass, as part of their fifth trade.{{only|bedrock}}

* {{IN|java}}, apprentice-level cartographer villagers offer to sell an ocean explorer map for 13 emeralds and a compass, and journeyman-level cartographer villagers offer to sell a woodland explorer map for 14 emeralds and one compass.

=== Enchantments ===

A compass can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

A '''hoe''' is a [[tool]] used to harvest certain plant-based or organic blocks more quickly, as well as to till most types of [[Dirt (disambiguation)|dirt]] into [[farmland]] and convert [[Coarse Dirt|coarse dirt]] and [[Rooted Dirt|rooted dirt]] to regular [[dirt]].

==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A hoe can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material (or the same hoe of that tier), with each repair material restoring 25% of the hoe's maximum durability, rounded down. It also keeps the hoe's [[Enchanting|enchantments]].

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|wooden-hoe,diamond-hoe,golden-hoe,random-enchanted-golden-hoe,damaged-level-enchanted-diamond-hoe}}

=== Trading ===
Novice-level toolsmith [[villager]]s have a chance to sell a stone hoe for one [[emerald]], and journeyman-level toolsmiths have a chance to sell a diamond hoe for 4 emeralds. {{IN|bedrock}}, these are 25% chances, and {{in|java}}, these are 40% chances.

=== Villager gifts ===
Toolsmith [[Villager|villagers]] occasionally throw stone hoes at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.{{Only|java}}

== Usage ==

=== Harvesting ===

Hoes are used to harvest certain plant-based or organic blocks more quickly. Breaking one of these blocks takes 1 [[durability]].

{{breaking row|Sculk Catalyst|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Sculk Shrieker|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Sculk Sensor|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Calibrated Sculk Sensor|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Nether Wart Block,Warped Wart Block|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Shroomlight|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Hay Bale|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Target|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Dried Kelp Block|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Sponge,Wet Sponge|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Leaves|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Sculk|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Sculk Vein|sort=1|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Moss Block|foot=1}}

Breaking any other block takes 0 durability if the block breaks instantly when broken by hand, or 1 otherwise.

=== Tilling ===

Hoes are used to turn dirt, grass blocks, and dirt paths into [[farmland]]. To till, press {{control|use}} on a grass or dirt block while holding a hoe. This does not work on [[mycelium]] or [[podzol]],<ref>{{bug|MC-8231||Mycelium and podzol cannot be tilled with hoes}}</ref> nor does it work if there are other blocks on top of the targeted blocks, including snow layers or torches. However, mycelium and podzol can be first converted to dirt paths with a shovel, then tilled into farmland with a hoe.

Hoes can be used to convert [[coarse dirt]] into regular dirt by pressing {{control|use}} on the coarse dirt. Similar to tilling dirt, the space above the coarse dirt must be empty for it to be tilled.

Hoes can also be used on [[rooted dirt]], which turns it into normal dirt, and yields a [[hanging roots]] item.

Tilling is effectively instantaneous, regardless of material, and uses 1 durability. Breaking blocks with a hoe uses 0 or 1 durability, depending on the block.

Hoes are unable to work on blocks with a plant on top, even if that plant could normally be placed on top of farmland without reverting it to dirt.<ref>{{bug|MC-167846||Hoe cannot be used on blocks with certain blocks on top even if said blocks can normally exist on farmland|WAI}}</ref>

=== Weapon ===

Hoes may be used as a weapon, although they deal only {{hp|1}} damage {{in|java}}. {{IN|bedrock}}, hoes can do as much as a pickaxe in terms of damage. Hoes use 2 durability when used as a weapon.

{{IN|java}}, hoes have an attack speed modifier depending on the material: wood and gold have a modifier of -3 (refill in 1s), stone has a modifier of -2 (refill in 0.5s), iron has a modifier of -1 (refill in 0.33s), and diamond and netherite have a modifier of 0 (refill in 0.25s).

Hoes always attack instantly {{in|bedrock}}.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
*Tilling a [[dirt]] block that has a dirt block on top of it changes it to [[farmland]] even though it cannot be used. If a hoe is used on a [[block]] horizontally adjacent to such a block, the first block reverts to dirt and the selected block is not tilled.
*When a hoe breaks, it does not display the tool breaking animation like on other tools, because tilling is not predicted client-side.
*The textures for the post 1.14 iron and stone hoes have an error, where the color for the edge of the handle is partly the same color as the edge of the top part.  This isn't present in any other tool.
