This article is about the full block. For the thin layer, see Snow (layer). For the weather condition, see Snowfall.

Snow is a full-sized block version of the snow layer.

Obtaining

When broken with a shovel, snow drops snowballs. If mined with a Silk Touch enchanted shovel, it drops a snow block.

Unlike snow layers, snow blocks will not melt from higher levels of light, nor get destroyed by water.

Natural generation

Snow generates naturally in ice plains spikes biomes.

Crafting

Snow is crafted from 4 snowballs, allowing the player to create it through their inventory crafting window.

Ingredients Crafting recipe

'''Emeralds''' are rare minerals that are used primarily as the currency for [[trading]] with [[villager]]s and [[wandering trader]]s. Naturally-occurring emeralds are rarer than [[diamond]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Trading (how emerald is renewable) ===
{{main|Trading}}
Emeralds can be obtained by trading with [[villager]]s, since they are the currency that villagers use for trading. Villagers either buy or sell specific goods for emeralds. Some villagers trade stuff that is renewable with emerald.

=== Mining ===
[[Emerald ore]] drops one emerald when mined using an iron or better [[pickaxe]]. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it may drop an extra emerald per level of Fortune, up to a maximum of 4 emeralds with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself in ore form instead of an emerald.

=== Natural generation ===
{{see also|Emerald Ore#Natural generation}}

Emeralds can generate in [[chest]]s in some [[village]] houses or other generated [[Generated structures|structures]].

{{needs update|inaccurate=1|section=1}}
{{LootChestItem|emerald}}

=== Drops ===
[[Vindicator]]s and [[evoker]]s drop 0–1 emeralds upon death. [[Looting]] increases the maximum emerald drop by one per level, for a maximum of 4 emeralds with Looting III.

[[Fox]]es that are holding emeralds also have a chance of 100% to drop the emerald they are holding upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item to entice the fox to drop the emerald without killing it.

{{IN|bedrock}}, vindicators and [[pillager]]s spawned from [[raids]] can drop 0–1 emeralds. Depending on difficulty, vindicators and pillagers spawned from raids also have a chance of dropping additional emeralds. There is a 65% chance of dropping on easy and normal, and an 80% chance of dropping on hard. If this additional drop condition is met, different emerald counts can drop with different chances. There is a {{frac|10|39}} chance to drop an additional 0–1 emeralds, a {{frac|5|39}} chance to drop an additional 2–3, and a {{frac|2|39}} chance to drop an additional 4–5.

{{IN|bedrock}}, with Looting III, it is possible for a vindicator in a raid to drop up to 16 emeralds upon death (vindicator drops + raid drops + an additional drop<!-- emerald from 2/39 chance-->).

== Usage ==

=== Trading ===

{{main|Trading}}

Emeralds are primarily used as currency for [[trading]] with villagers and wandering traders. Trading is typically a faster way to obtain emeralds than by mining, as an emerald ore is rarer than a diamond ore.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

===Beacons===

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

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

=== Upgrading ===
Like other diamond tools, a diamond shovel can be upgraded to a netherite shovel, although increased durability and resistance to fire/lava in item form are the only benefits. The shovel's performance as a digging tool or a weapon is unchanged by the upgrade.

A shovel can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% the shovel's maximum durability, rounded down. It also keeps the shovel's [[Enchanting|enchantments]].

=== Chest loot ===
On <code>ancient_city/city_center/city_center_2</code>, they generate a furnace with a wooden shovel inside of it.

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

[[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s have a 0.67% (3.33% in Hard [[difficulty]]) chance of spawning with an iron shovel. They have an 8.5% (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) chance of dropping that shovel if they are killed by the player. The dropped shovel is usually badly damaged, and may be enchanted: 0%–25% on Normal difficulty and 3.125%–25% on Hard difficulty, varying with [[regional difficulty]], and enchanted as if on an enchanting table at level 5–22.

==== Raids ====

Vindicators and pillagers that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance(5.12% on hard) to drop a badly-damaged iron shovel that is sometimes enchanted with a random enchantment.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a 25% chance to sell enchanted iron shovels for 2 emeralds, and expert-level toolsmith villagers have a 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond shovels for 5 emeralds as part of their trades.{{only|bedrock}}

Novice-level toolsmith villagers have a 40% chance to sell stone shovels for one emerald, journeyman-level tool smiths have a 40% chance to sell an enchanted iron shovel for 7-22 emeralds, and expert-level tool smiths have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell an enchanted diamond shovel for 11-27 emeralds.{{only|java}}

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

=== Villager gifts ===

{{in|java}}, toolsmith [[villager]]s occasionally throw stone shovels at players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.

== Usage ==

=== Digging ===

A shovel can be used to break some materials faster. When breaking a block, it uses 1 durability. For blocks that break instantly, it uses 0 durability.

==== Durability ====

Each different tier of shovel has a different durability:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Material
! [[Durability]]
|-
| {{itemLink|Wooden Shovel|Wood|link=Shovel}}
| 59
|-
| {{itemLink|Stone Shovel|Stone|link=Shovel}}
| 131
|-
| {{itemLink|Iron Shovel|Iron|link=Shovel}}
| 250
|-
| {{itemLink|Diamond Shovel|Diamond|link=Shovel}}

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

==== Speed ====

The following table summarizes the speed at which different quality shovels perform on different block types. Values with a red background indicate that no resource is dropped when the block is destroyed without a shovel. 
{{breaking row|Clay|simple=1}}
{{breaking row|Coarse Dirt}}
{{Breaking row|Concrete Powder}}

{{breaking row|Snow|Wooden}}
{{breaking row|Snow Block|Wooden}}
{{breaking row|Soul Sand}}
{{breaking row|Soul Soil}}
{{breaking row|Suspicious Gravel}}
{{breaking row|Suspicious Sand|foot=1}}

=== Dirt paths ===

A shovel can be used to create a [[dirt path]] by {{control|using}} (not digging) the shovel on any one of the following blocks, losing one durability point:
* {{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
* {{BlockLink|Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
* {{BlockLink|Podzol}}
* {{BlockLink|Mycelium}}

=== Campfire ===

A shovel can be used to extinguish a [[campfire]].

===Weapon===

Hitting a mob while holding a shovel is a stronger attack than barehanded. Shovels take 2 damage when used as a weapon.

====Java Edition====

[[Category:Java Edition specific information]]
Shovels have an attack speed modifier of -3, meaning they take 1 second to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]]. Shovels deal different damage based on the type:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Attack damage"
!Shovel type

|-
|{{ItemLink|Diamond Shovel}}||{{hp|5.5}}||5.5
|-
|{{ItemLink|Netherite Shovel}}||{{hp|6.5}}
|1.6||10.4
|}

====Bedrock Edition====

{{IN|bedrock}}, shovels always attack instantly and do the following damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Attack damage"
! colspan="5" |Attack damage
|-
|{{ItemSprite|Wooden Shovel}}{{ItemSprite|Golden Shovel}} {{hp|2}}

A '''melon slice'''{{efn|Known as '''Melon Slice''' {{in|java}} and '''Melon''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} is a [[food]] item that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Block loot ===

{{see also|Tutorials/Pumpkin and melon farming|title1 = Pumpkin and melon farming}}

Melon slices can be obtained by breaking (harvesting) [[melon]]s using any [[tool]] or by hand. [[Axe]]s, followed by [[sword]]s, are the fastest tools for harvesting melons.  A melon drops 3–7 melon slices, when broken; by hand, using a [[tool]], or after being broken by the movement of a [[piston]], with an average of 4.64 slices per melon.

Breaking a melon with a tool enchanted with [[Fortune]] increases the potential number of drops by 1 slice per level, up to a maximum of 9 slices.

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat a melon slice, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 1.2 hunger 
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage}}

=== Composting ===
Placing a melon slice into a [[composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

'''Dyes''' are a set of sixteen items used to change the color of [[wool]], [[carpet]]s, [[terracotta]], [[concrete powder]], [[glass]], [[shulker box]]es, [[bed]]s, [[candle]]s, the patterns on [[banner]]s, [[firework star]]s, certain mobs, and text on [[sign]]s and [[hanging sign]]s. {{IN|bedrock}} they can also be used to dye water in a [[cauldron]] (which is thereafter used to dye leather [[armor]]); {{in|java}} leather armor can be dyed directly. {{IN|education}} dyes can also be used to dye [[balloon]]s and [[glow stick]]s.

{{IN|bedrock|education}}, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa bean]]s can generally substitute for [[white dye]], [[black dye]], [[blue dye]], and [[brown dye]], respectively, in crafting recipes and for use in dyeing items or mobs. However, they have other important uses that aren't related to color, and are therefore not considered true dyes. They are mentioned in this article only in regard to their use as dyeing agents; see their individual articles for complete information about them.

[[File:Dye Recipes.png|400px|thumb|A guide for creating all the dyes]]

== Obtaining ==
<!--[[File:Dye Chart.png|350px|thumb|A guide to crafting all the dyes.{{until|java 1.14}}]]-->

Dyes can be produced by crafting them from plants (mainly flowers), by crafting dyes of different colors together, by smelting plants, or by trading with a [[wandering trader]].

{{loadPage|Crafting/Dye|Crafting|h3}}

=== Smelting ===
{{smelting|head=1|Sea Pickle|Lime Dye|0,2}}
{{smelting|foot=1|Cactus|Green Dye|1||b=Lapis Lazuli|c=Any fuel|d=1}}

=== Trading ===

[[Wandering trader]]s can sell 3 dyes for an [[emerald]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can also sell 3 lapis lazuli, bone meal, cocoa beans, or ink sacs for one emerald.

Apprentice-level cleric [[villager]]s sell one lapis lazuli per emerald.

=== Chest loot ===

{{#invoke:LootChest|base3|blue-dye,green-dye,orange-dye,light-blue-dye,yellow-dye,white-dye}}

=== Other ===

Ink sacs can also be created using 1 iron, 1 sulfur, and 4 oxygen in the [[compound creator]]. {{only|bedrock|education}}

== Usage ==

Similar to their use in crafting, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa beans]] can be substituted for the corresponding dye in any of the following usages unless otherwise specified.{{only|bedrock}} <!--- sections are ordered by craftable dyeable blocks, dyeable items, version exclusive sections, and non-crafting miscellaneous uses--->

=== Dyeing wool and mobs ===

Players can dye wool by placing [[wool]] and any dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting
|nocat=1
|Any Wool
|Matching Dye
|Output=Any Wool
}}

Dyes can be {{control|use|text=used}} on sheep to change the color of the wool. Shearing a colored sheep drops the corresponding color of the wool, and the sheep retains the color when the wool regenerates. [[Breeding]] colored sheep produces a lamb colored as one of the parent sheep, or a color resulting from the combination of both parents' color. The color combining follows the same rules that dyes use – red and yellow sheep produce an orange lamb, but a blue and yellow sheep cannot create a green lamb. The unlimited reproduction of colored sheep makes dyeing and shearing sheep infinitely more efficient than just dyeing wool directly.
 
Dye can also be used on a tamed [[wolf]] or [[cat]] to change the color of its collar from the default red to the color of the dye.

=== Dyeing carpets ===

Carpets can be dyed.

{{Crafting

=== Dyeing terracotta ===

[[Terracotta]] can be dyed by placing 8 blocks around a dye on a crafting table.

=== Creating concrete powder ===

Dyes can also be used to craft [[concrete powder]], which can then be set into their respective [[concrete]] blocks (they cannot be dyed directly).

=== Staining glass ===

[[Stained glass]] can be stained by placing 8 blocks of glass around a dye on a [[crafting table]]. Just like regular glass, stained glass can be crafted into stained glass panes. The recipe for this is the same as with regular glass.

=== Dyeing shulker boxes ===

[[Shulker box]]es are generated in a light shade of purple (like the [[purpur block]]), but can be dyed any color. They can also be re-dyed as often as desired.

=== Dyeing candles ===

Players can dye [[candles]] by placing an undyed candle and any color dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting
|ignoreusage=1

}}

=== Banner patterns ===
{{main|Banner#Patterns}}

Dyes are used in most banner patterns to determine the pattern and color displayed.

=== Dyeing armor ===

[[File:DyeGraph2.png|200px|thumb|A graph showing all combinations of two dyes on a [[tunic]].]]

Leather [[armor]] can be dyed by:
* Crafting dyes with a piece of leather armor or leather [[horse armor]].{{Only|java}}
* Dousing the leather armor or leather [[horse armor]] in a [[cauldron]] to which dyes have been added.{{Only|bedrock}}

There are 5,713,438<ref>https://anrar4.github.io/DyeLeatherArmor/</ref> (34.1% of sRGB) colors leather armor can be, as it is possible to put more than one dye on the crafting bench alongside the leather armor. Armor can be dyed multiple times with previous colors affecting the final outcome. Colored armor can be reverted to their original color using a [[cauldron]] with undyed water.

The game has a specific formula for calculating the color of dyed armor: each color, in the RGB color model, has a red value, green value, and blue value. For each dye in the crafting grid, and the armor itself (if it is already dyed), the red, green, and blue values are added to running totals. In addition, a running total of the highest value (be it red, green, or blue) is also kept. After this, each total is divided by the number of colors used. This effectively produces the average red, green, blue, and maximum values. The maximum value of the average RGB values is also calculated. Finally, each average RGB value is multiplied by the average maximum value and divided by the maximum of the average RGB values. The modified average RGB values are then used as the final color. This procedure can be summed up with the following equations:
 for each color (all "total" variables start at 0 before counting):
  totalRed = totalRed + redValue
  totalGreen = totalGreen + greenValue
  totalBlue = totalBlue + blueValue
  totalMaximum = totalMaximum + max(redValue, greenValue, blueValue)
  numberOfColors = numberOfColors + 1
 
 averageRed = totalRed / numberOfColors
 averageGreen = totalGreen / numberOfColors
 averageBlue = totalBlue / numberOfColors
 averageMaximum = totalMaximum / numberOfColors
 
 maximumOfAverage = max(averageRed, averageGreen, averageBlue)
 gainFactor = averageMaximum / maximumOfAverage
 
 resultRed = averageRed * gainFactor
 resultGreen = averageGreen * gainFactor
 resultBlue = averageBlue * gainFactor

Due to the way this formula works, the resulting color can never be darker than the average of the input colors and is often lighter and more saturated. Of course, the resulting color can never be lighter or more saturated than the lightest or most saturated input color. In addition, this formula never creates an RGB value higher than 255 (which would be invalid in the 8-bit RGB color model).

If leather armor is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when dyed or undyed.

=== Dyeing firework stars ===

A [[firework star]] can have a single color or a combination of up to eight colors when crafted with dyes. Adding one or more dyes to a crafted firework star adds a "fade to color" effect to it, overwriting any existing fade colors.

=== Dyeing water inside cauldrons ===
Water can be dyed in a cauldron by holding any dye in the hand and pressing {{Ctrl|use}} on a cauldron filled with water.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Signs ===
Dye can be {{control|used}} on a [[sign]] or a [[hanging sign]] to change the text color. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[ink sac]]s cannot be used for this purpose; black dye must be used to change the text to black.

=== Trading ===
Apprentice, journeyman and expert-level shepherd [[villager]]s buy any of the 12 dyes for an [[emerald]].

== Color values ==
The "color codes" are used to determine the color imparted on sheep, wolf and cat collars, firework stars, [[beacon]] beams, and dyed leather armor. The hex value is shown in the extended tooltips of dyed leather armor; however, to set the color using an NBT data tag in a [[command]], the decimal value must be used instead. The color values for firework stars are slightly different from the ones listed below, and use [[Item colors#Firework stars|these values]] instead.

== Trivia ==
* Players can obtain each one of every color with 1 cocoa bean, 2 yellow dye, 2 ink sac, 3 green dye, 4 lapis lazuli, 4 red dye, and 6 bone meal (2 bones).
* The dyed sheep breeding behavior mirrors [[wikipedia:Lamarckism|Lamarck's theory]], in which the organisms evolve inheriting the external changes and adaptations of the previous generation, transmitting them to their offspring.
* In ''Bedrock Edition'', tertiary colors, along with their regular crafting recipes, can be crafted with primary colors. E.g.: Magenta can be crafted with one rose red and two bone meals.
* The colors of the dyes match the chat colors in [[color codes]] except for brown (dye only), light aqua, and gold (color codes only).
* The texture for light blue dye still uses the color from prior to the 1.12 World of Color update.<ref name="unchanged dyes"></ref>

A '''head''' or '''skull''' is a [[block]] modeled after the head of a specific [[entity]]. There are seven types of heads: [[player]] ([[Steve]]'s head by default), [[zombie]], [[skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[creeper]], [[piglin]], and [[dragon]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

A mob head can be mined using any item,<ref>{{bug|MC-192905||Heads & Skulls have no assigned tool}}</ref> and drops itself when broken.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mob Head|sprite=Heads}}
If a head is pushed by a [[piston]] or comes in contact with [[water]] or [[lava]], it breaks off as an [[item (entity)|item]].

When destroyed by an [[explosion]], the head ''always'' drops as an item.

===Natural generation===

Dragon heads generate on [[end ships]] found in [[End City|end cities]].

Skeleton skulls can generate in [[ancient cities]], which sometimes generate in the [[deep dark]].

=== Mob loot ===

A [[wither skeleton]] has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]]. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. {{IN|bedrock}}, the chance is increased by 2% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III.

[[Skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[zombie]], [[creeper]] and [[piglin]] heads are always dropped by the respective mob if it dies due to a [[charged creeper]]'s explosion. {{IN|bedrock}}, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however {{in|java}} only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>{{bug|MC-63534|||WAI}}</ref> If an [[ender dragon]] or a [[player]] is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head.<ref name=":0">{{bug|MC-132933|||WAI}}</ref>

==Usage ==

===Decoration===

Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[sign]]s. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.

When placed and powered by redstone, the piglin and dragon heads plays an animation. The piglin head flaps its ears (2 times per second for the right ear and 2.5 times per second for the left ear) while the dragon head opens and closes its mouth repeatedly (2 times per second). The same animation occurs when worn by a (horizontally) moving player, zombie, skeleton, or [[armor stand]] (note: the animation does not play if the <code>NoGravity</code> tag is set to 1)

=== Wearing ===
{{See also|#Renders}}

The player can wear heads, similarly to [[pumpkin]]s or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[skin]].

====Disguise====

Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range for [[skeleton]]s (but not [[wither skeleton]]s), [[creeper]]s, [[zombie]]s, and [[piglin]]s to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from [[sneaking]] and from the [[Invisibility]] status effect.

{{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any mob head or carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[map]].

=== Withers===
{{FakeImage|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Sand|www|sss| s }}|Wither build configuration}}

[[Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, and putting 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical. The last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither, by placing the final skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.

===Dispensers===
A [[dispenser]] can equip a mob head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

[[Dispenser]]s can also complete the construction of a wither.

Placing a head above a [[note block]] causes the note block to play the corresponding mob's {{cd|ambient}} sound when activated. The only exception is the creeper head; as creepers don't make {{cd|ambient}} sounds, the note block plays the {{cd|primed}} (hissing) sound instead.

The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.

==Player skins==
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
Human heads have an extra usage for map makers, they can be given [[Chunk format#Entity Format|NBT data]] so that they appear with the skin of any ''Minecraft'' account. This means if a player knows that a specific account has a head that is desired to display, the NBT data can be edited to make it appear.

The command to give the player a head with the skin of another player is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"<''PlayerName''>"} }}. Commonly, this kind of head is called a custom head. 

Another command to give the player a head with another player's skin is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Id:"<''PlayerUUID''>",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"<''SkinURL''>"}]} } } }}. ''SkinURL'' is a string encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64] containing the URL of the player's skin.<ref>Example: {"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"<nowiki>http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/292009a4925b58f02c77dadc3ecef07ea4c7472f64e0fdc32ce5522489362680"}}}</ref> A player head saves the skin of the player from the time it was created, meaning if the player changes their skin, the head still displays the original texture.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|464414369452142592|Skulls are a snapshot of the skin as it was made; just change your skin, make a skull, and change your skin back. That's intended behaviour.|May 8, 2014}}</ref>

Note that it is therefore necessary to be connected to the internet to load the texture of a skin, whatever the property used.
When they are loaded for the first time by the client, the skins textures are cached in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolders)\(files)}}.
If the client does not have access to the internet when it first loads, the player's head displays a regular head (Steve's skin) which is also cached.
Afterwards, even if the client reconnects to the internet, in order to display the skin correctly, it is necessary to clear the cache manually by deleting the recently created files in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolder)}}, then restarting the game.

When NBT-customized heads (with names and lores) are placed on the ground, they lose their names and given lores upon picking up. Therefore, using Ctrl + {{ctrl|pick block}} on a custom player head gives the player a head that still retains its textures, but with no lores and its name is reset to either {{code|[PlayerName]'s Head}} (heads obtained by MHF-Marc's Head Format or existing players in the world) or {{code|Player Head}} (heads obtained by using skin URLs).

=== Marc's Head Format===
[[File:Allmobheads.png|thumb|right|Most of the MHF mob heads provided.]]

{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}

[[Marc Watson]] created a number of accounts with specific skins so map makers could use common heads without the risk of someone changing their skins.<ref>{{reddit|1m0itx/twitter_marc_irl_mapmakers_would_it_be_useful|cc4m1cq|I'm here to make it so that people don't have to worry about having a consistent account whose skin might change.|Marc_IRL|September 9, 2013}}</ref> Nowadays, since heads do not update the skin if a player changes their skin, this is not something map-makers need to worry about, though these skins are still useful. These accounts have names in the format <code>MHF_<''Name''></code>, for example <code>MHF_PigZombie</code> is the name of a ''Minecraft'' user with a [[zombified piglin]] head. MHF stands for "Marc's Head Format".<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|377453670410891264|head format. I needed to pick a prefix that was short and not already taken by other usernames.|September 10, 2013}}</ref> There are also a few blocks and "bonus" heads, for more variety. These player heads have not been updated in compliance with the [[Texture Update]], and are outdated.

Because these are names of player accounts, these heads are obtained or placed using the <code>SkullOwner</code> tag, for instance: {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"MHF_''<Name>''"}<nowiki />}}.

The following names/heads have been made available:<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|542330244473311232|For those following the MHF list, I have presents for you. Full list of accounts I've made: http://pastebin.com/5mug6EBu|December 9, 2014}}</ref>

===Skull "item"===
{{:Technical blocks/Skull}}

==Issues==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia==
* Despite there being a default Steve head, heads for the other protagonist skins cannot be obtained without using custom names.
*{{IN|be}}, the skull variant for the item is stored under the {{cd|damage}} component, normally used for items with [[durability]].
*The head item's model when wore on a player is slightly larger than its placed block counterpart in the world, which in turn is also slightly larger than the actual player's head. Therefore, a player who wears their own head appears with a larger head.

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

===Mob loot===

If a [[zombie]], [[husk]], [[stray]] or [[skeleton]] is wearing armor, there is a 8.5% chance (9.5% with [[Looting]] I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III) for the mob to drop a helmet upon death. The dropped helmet is usually badly damaged, and may be [[enchanted]] with enchantment levels 5-19.

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[vindicator]]s and [[pillager]]s spawned in [[raid]]s have a 8.3525% chance (10.28% on hard) to drop [[iron]] helmets. The dropped helmets are usually badly damaged, and have a 50% chance of being [[enchanted]] with a random [[enchantment]].

===Natural generation===
Two [[armor stand]]s are found in each taiga [[village]] outdoor armory, one of them equipped with an [[iron helmet]].

===Chest loot===
{{IN|BE}}, a sealed room in [[woodland mansion]]s can appear that has a chest sometimes containing an [[Efficiency]] I leather cap.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-109048}}</ref>
{{LootChestItem|leather-cap,random-enchanted-leather-cap,chainmail-helmet,iron-helmet,level-enchanted-iron-helmet,golden-helmet,random-enchanted-golden-helmet,diamond-helmet,damaged-diamond-helmet,level-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-helmet-2}}

===Trading===

{{IN|java}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance to sell an iron helmet for 4 emeralds. Journeyman-level armorers have a 40% chance to sell a chainmail helmet for 1 emerald. Master-level armorers always sell an enchanted diamond helmet for 11-27 emeralds. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell a leather cap<ref group="note" name="dye note">The leather armor has a random color created by two dyes (possibly the same dye twice.)</ref> for 5 emeralds. Master-level leatherworker villagers offer the same trade.

Armorer villagers may give the players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect a chainmail helmet.

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level armorer villagers have a 25% chance to sell iron helmet for 5 emeralds, {{frac|1|3}} chance to sell chainmail helmet at journeyman-level for an emerald, and 50% chance to sell enchanted diamond helmet for 8 emeralds at master-level. Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a 50% chance to sell leather cap for 5 emeralds as part of their trades, and 50% chance to sell an enchanted leather cap for 5 emeralds at the master level.

{{notelist|columns=1}}

==Usage ==

Helmets can be placed in the top armor slot of a player's [[inventory]] for activation.

===Defense points===

Defense points are each signified by half of a shirt of mail in the armor bar above the health bar. Each defense point reduces any damage dealt to the player that is absorbed by armor by 4%, increasing additively with the number of defense points. Different materials and combinations of armor provide different levels of defense.

The following table shows the number of defense points added by helmets.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet defense points"
|-
! scope="col" |Material
! scope="col" |
|-
! scope="row" |Leather
|{{armor|1}}
|-

|-
! scope="row" |Iron
|-
! scope="row" |Turtle Shell
|-
! scope="row" |Diamond
| rowspan="2" |{{armor|3}}
|-
! scope="row" |Netherite
|}

===Knockback resistance===
A netherite helmet provides 10% knockback resistance.

===Durability===

The following table shows the amount of damage each piece of armor can absorb before being destroyed.

Any "hit" from a damage source that can be blocked by armor removes one point of durability from each piece of armor worn for every {{hp|4}} of incoming damage (rounded down, but never below 1). Damage taken that armor doesn't protect (such as [[Damage#Fall damage|falling]] or [[Damage#Drowning|drowning]]) does not damage the armor, even if it is enchanted to protect against that type of damage. The following chart displays how many hits helmets can endure.

Netherite armor is not damaged by [[lava]] or [[fire]] when worn.

{| class="wikitable" data-description="Helmet durability"
|-

|-
! scope="row" |Turtle Shell
|275
|-
! scope="row" |Diamond
|363
|-
! scope="row" |Netherite
|407
|}

====Repair====

Helmets may be [[item repair|repaired]] by using them along with some of their crafting material (leather, gold ingots, iron ingots, diamonds or netherite) in an [[anvil]]. Chainmail helmets may be repaired in this way with iron ingots. They may also be repaired by crafting them together with another helmet of like material.

===Enchantments===
A helmet can receive the following [[enchantment]]s. Note that while iron and chainmail have the same durability, chainmail has a higher [[Tutorials/Enchanting mechanics#Enchantability|enchantability]] than iron or diamond.

===Turtle shell effect===

Equipping a {{ItemSprite|Turtle Shell}} turtle shell provides the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} status effect, allowing the player to remain underwater for an additional 10 seconds. The time that this effect lasts does not begin to count down until the player dives underwater, then the 10 seconds are counted down. The effect immediately recharges after exposure to air.

===Brewing ingredient===
A turtle shell can also be used as a potion brewing ingredient.

===Smelting usage===

{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Helmet;Chainmail Helmet;Golden Helmet|Iron Nugget;Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to ''golden'' helmets and pick them up, examining them for 6 to 8 seconds. Piglins can wear other helmets but are not attracted to them. They prefer stronger helmets over weaker helmets, with one exception: They always prefer golden helmets, throwing out stronger helmets in favor of gold helmets. Enchanted helmets are preferred over unenchanted helmets.

==Trivia ==
*Unlike the other helmets, the netherite helmet covers most of the player's face, due to a nose guard and cheek plates.
*The turtle shell is the only helmet that is not part of a complete set.
* In Bedrock Edition, there exists a bug<ref>{{Cite bug|MCPE|109048|Efficiency 1 Leather Cap in Woodland Mansions|date=December 1, 2020}}</ref> that makes it possible to obtain a Leather Cap enchanted with Efficiency I from [[Woodland Mansion]] chests with a chance of 1.45%. The enchantment has no effect on the cap, however.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An '''item frame''' is an [[entity]]{{only|java|short=y}} or [[block entity]]{{only|bedrock|short=y}} that displays the item or block that is inside it.

A '''glow item frame''' keeps itself and the item inside it illuminated, even in the dark.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

{{IN|je}}, an empty item frame can be broken simply by punching it. If the item frame contains an item, punching it drops the item, leaving the frame on the wall.

Because item frames are [[entities]] {{in|java}}, they can be broken in [[Adventure]] mode. They will also be targeted by commands using the @e selector.{{only|java}}

=== Natural generation ===

An item frame containing a pair of [[elytra]] generates in each [[end ship]].

=== Trading ===
Expert-level [[Trading#Cartographer|cartographer]] [[villager]]s have a chance to sell an item frame for 7 [[emerald]]s.

== Usage ==

=== Item display ===

[[File:Item Frame (map filled partial).png|thumb|150px|Item frame with partially filled map]]
Item frames can be placed on the sides of [[cactus]] blocks, [[pressure plate]]s, [[fence]]s, [[tree]]s, [[slab]]s, [[cobblestone wall]]s, [[chest]]s, [[door]]s, and all [[solid block]]s. They can also be placed on the top and bottom of these blocks. To place on chests and doors, the player needs to be [[sneaking]]. As item frames are an entity, multiple item frames can occupy the same block, although on different faces. It also allows non-solid blocks to occupy the same space.{{only|java}}

Players can place items in the frame by {{control|using}} the item. If a [[map]] is placed in an item frame, it enlarges to show the map in the size of a full block, with the item frame's location displayed as a green pointer on the map, pointing in the direction the item frame is facing. If this is done in the Nether, the green cursor spins around similar to the white cursor (players). If an item in an item frame has been renamed using an [[anvil]], it displays its custom name when the cursor is over the item frame. If the player places a block inside the frame, it is displayed in miniature half in, half out of the block. This can be most notably seen on stairs or slabs.

{{control|Pick block}} may be used on item frames by players in creative mode only, the control has no effect for players in Survival or Adventure mode. When the item frame is displaying an item, {{control|pick block}} picks the displayed item instead of the item frame.

Item frames can be placed on the lid of a [[shulker box]] that is positioned horizontally, but pop off when the lid is opened.{{only|java}}

=== Rotation ===
The displayed item can then be rotated by right-clicking the frame. Items displayed in the item frame can turn 45° diagonally, with a total of 8 possibilities (90° and 4 possibilities if it is a map), and the frame outputs a [[Mechanics/Redstone/Circuit#Power level|redstone signal]] depending on the rotation phase that can be interpreted by a [[redstone comparator]] (note that this rotation value is separate from the clock or compass rotation). As long as the frame remains placed, it remembers the orientation of the last item it held, and uses it for the next item it holds.{{only|java}}

=== Glow item frames ===
[[File:Item Frames Comparison.png|thumb|260px|Comparison between ordinary item frame and glow item frame in the dark.]]

When an item is placed inside a glow item frame, it appears to glow, even though it does not emit any [[light level]].

== Sounds ==
Item frames and glow item frames share the same sounds.

== Trivia==

*The item frame is based upon a suggestion on [[wikipedia:Reddit|Reddit]], like the [[ender chest]] and [[flower pot]].<ref>{{Tweet|dinnerbone|235747041286975488}}</ref>
*The item frame is the only entity to reference a block [[model]].{{only|java|short=1}} Because of this, the texture of the frame border is the same as the birch planks texture.
*Item frame is the '''only''' placeable item that can interfere with other non-full block entities.
*Due to the way layer textures are displayed in Minecraft, maps float on item frames, similar to how icons float on the map itself.

'''Feathers''' are items dropped by [[chicken]]s and [[parrot]]s, as well as tamed [[cats]] as morning gifts.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

Adult [[chicken]]s drop 0–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 with Looting III.

[[Parrot]]s drop 1–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–5 with Looting III.

A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding a feather, which always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, causing the fox to drop the feather in favor of the food.

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|feather}}

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

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a "morning gift", and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a feather.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
<div style='float:right'></div>
While a feather cannot be equipped in the head slot in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear completely upright unlike other items.

A '''cauldron''' is a [[block]] that can contain [[water]], [[lava]] or [[powder snow]] and, in certain situations, collect it from the environment. {{IN|bedrock}}, it can also hold [[potion]]s or dyed water. It also serves as a [[leatherworker]]'s [[job site block]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===

A cauldron can be obtained using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Regardless of the tool, when a cauldron is destroyed, its contents are lost.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Cauldron|Pickaxe|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===

[[File:Natural Cauldron Table.png|A naturally occurring cauldron inside of a [[witch hut]].|thumb]]

A single empty cauldron is generated in each [[swamp hut]]. {{IN|be}}, the cauldrons generated there are {{frac|1|3}} to {{frac|2|3}} full of a random [[potion]].

A cauldron {{frac|2|3}} full of water is generated in each [[igloo]] basement.
[[File:MansionJailInner.png|thumb|Cauldron in [[woodland mansion]] jail.]]
Cauldrons can be found in a few rooms inside of [[woodland mansion]]s.

Two filled cauldrons can be found inside savanna, taiga, snowy taiga, and snowy tundra [[village]] tannery houses.

A single filled cauldron can be found in plains village and desert village tannery houses.

{{IN|java}}, three filled cauldrons can be found in plains village tannery houses.

Cauldrons can also spawn in [[trail ruins]].

=== Crafting ===

A cauldron can be crafted from [[iron ingot]]s.

|C1= Iron Ingot
|A2= Iron Ingot
|C2= Iron Ingot
|A3= Iron Ingot
|B3= Iron Ingot
|C3= Iron Ingot
|Output= Cauldron
|type= Brewing
}}

== Usage ==

=== Storage for substances ===
Cauldrons can hold a variety of substances. Fluids they cannot hold include [[milk]], [[Honey Bottle|honey]] and any food items that exist in [[bowl]]s; namely [[mushroom stew]], [[beetroot soup]], [[rabbit stew]] and [[suspicious stew]]. {{IN|java}}, cauldrons containing fluids are considered by the game to be separate blocks from each other and from empty cauldrons, which does not affect gameplay but does affect the commands needed to place them.

==== Holding water ====
A cauldron can be filled with [[water]] by {{control|using}} a [[water bucket]] on the cauldron. Once completely filled, a cauldron can be used to fill a water bucket by {{control|using}} an empty [[bucket]] on the cauldron; this empties the cauldron. Despite containing water, using a [[fish bucket]] on a cauldron does not fill it with water, but places water against it, meaning it does nothing to the cauldron.<ref>{{bug|MC-129109|||WAI}}</ref>

A cauldron can also be filled by dumping a water bucket on the block above the cauldron. Once the water block is removed, the cauldron is filled to the full level with water.{{only|be}}

It can contain three levels of water. One level of water can be added to a cauldron by {{control|using}} a [[water bottle]] on it. One level of water can be removed from a cauldron, filling a water bottle, by {{control|using}} a [[glass bottle]] on it.

A cauldron slowly fills with [[water]] when [[rain]]ed upon, if starting empty or with some water. This happens randomly, at 5% of the rate in which snow accumulates on the ground during [[snowfall]].

Water can be stored in a cauldron even in [[the Nether]]. Water in a cauldron does not freeze in cold biomes.

Water in a cauldron does ''not'' absorb [[explosion]] damage; make [[sound]]s and [[particle]]s; absorb fall damage;<ref>{{bug|MC-176867|||WF}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-104572|||WF}}</ref> allow [[Riptide]] [[trident]]s to activate;<ref>{{bug|MC-145311|||WF}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-93111}}</ref> or damage [[endermen]], [[strider]]s, or [[blaze]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-106813|||WF}}</ref> Cauldrons do ''not'' deal drowning damage to mobs inside of them<ref>{{bug|MC-152680}}</ref> and [[fish]] act as if there is no water inside it.<ref>{{bug|MC-126819|||WF}}</ref> The player ''cannot'' float or [[swim]] in it, as the water is about level with the player's waist. Jumping in a cauldron does ''not'' produce any bubble or water particles.

A cauldron placed below a down-facing [[pointed dripstone]] that has water placed a block above it slowly fills with water. The same works with [[lava]], allowing for infinite lava generation.

Attempting to add lava or potion to water empties the cauldron.{{only|be}} 


The water in a cauldron cannot be sucked up by a [[sponge]], whether the sponge is touching the cauldron or not. 

===== Applying dye to cauldron water =====
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=yes}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, leather armor is dyed through a cauldron, so a cauldron can hold dyed [[water]]. {{control|Using}} a dye on a cauldron filled with water colors the water, consuming the dye. Different dyes may be added to produce mixed colors. {{control|Using}} [[leather armor]] or [[leather horse armor]] on the cauldron dyes that item the color of the water, reducing the water in the cauldron by one level for each item dyed.

Attempting to add water, lava or potion to dyed water empties the cauldron.

==== Holding lava ====
[[File:Lava Cauldron.png|150px|thumb|Cauldron filled with lava]]

Cauldrons can be used to hold lava. {{IN|be|ee}}, when a cauldron is already filled with water, it empties the cauldron and makes an extinguishing sound. A cauldron filled with lava emits a light level of 15, similar to lava, and burns any [[entity]] inside of it; {{in|be|ee|short=1}}, this includes mobs that do not take damage from lava like [[zombified piglin]]s.

Lava inside a cauldron does not interact with water outside of the cauldron. The lava disappears upon putting water in the cauldron.

A [[redstone comparator]] with a lava cauldron behind it outputs redstone signal strength of 3.<ref name=JavaLava>{{bug|MC-204393}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-104824}}</ref>

A cauldron placed below a down-facing [[pointed dripstone]] that has lava placed a block above it slowly fills with lava.

If a cauldron is filled by lava, using glass bottles on the cauldron does nothing.

==== Holding powder snow ====
[[Powder snow]] is currently the only solid material that can be stored in a cauldron. A cauldron slowly fills with powder snow during [[snowfall]], if starting empty or with any layer of powder snow already inside. Up to three layers can be filled. When the cauldron is full, {{ctrl|interacting}} using a [[bucket]], creates a [[powder snow bucket]] and empties the cauldron. Entities standing in the cauldron do not take freeze damage, and entities wearing [[leather boots]] still fall through the powder snow.

A [[redstone comparator]] with a powder snow cauldron behind it outputs a redstone signal strength proportional to the fill level, up to 3.

Contrary to a cauldron filled with water, a powder snow cauldron that is not full cannot be filled up with a powder snow bucket, as {{control|using}} the bucket on the cauldron instead places powder snow against it.

==== Filling cauldrons with potions ====
{{exclusive|bedrock|education|section=yes}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, a cauldron can hold normal [[potion]]s, [[splash potion]]s and [[lingering potion]]s. {{control|Using}} a potion on a cauldron empties the potion and increases the level of the potion in the cauldron by one level. A glass bottle can then be {{control|used}} on a cauldron with a potion in it, filling the bottle with that potion. This reduces the potion in the cauldron by one level.

{{control|Using}} an [[arrow]] on a cauldron that contains a potion transforms the arrow into a [[tipped arrow]] with that potion [[effect]], and reduce the potion in the cauldron by one level. Tipping multiple arrows at once can be more efficient, and it may use more than one level at once. 1 level of potion tips up to 16 arrows, 2 levels up to 32, and a full cauldron can tip a full stack of arrows, resulting in 21.33 tipped arrows per potion.

Attempting to put [[water]], [[lava]] or a different potion into a cauldron with a potion causes an explosion sound, and the cauldron is emptied.

An entity that stands in a cauldron filled to any level with any potion does not receive the effect of the potion.

Using an empty bucket on a cauldron filled with any potion does nothing, as the bucket remains empty and the potion in the cauldron does not empty.

=== Removing dye from items ===

A cauldron with [[water]] can wash the dye off of leather [[armor]] and [[shulker box]]es, and can remove the top-most pattern layer of a [[banner]], by pressing {{control|use}} on the cauldron with the leather armor, shulker box, or banner in hand. Each wash reduces the water in the cauldron by one level. The water does not become dyed while removing dye from objects.

=== Changing profession ===
If a [[village]] has a cauldron that has not been claimed by a [[villager]], any villager that does not already have a profession or [[job site]] block may change their profession to [[leatherworker]].

=== Extinguishing fire ===

A cauldron with [[water]] or [[powder snow]] extinguishes [[entities]] on [[fire]] that fall into it and the entity emits black particles. This includes [[mob]]s, [[player]]s, [[item]]s (if they land in the cauldron before burning up), and flaming [[arrow]]s{{only|je|short=1}}. Flaming arrows stuck into the side are also extinguished. Entities must reach the water or powder snow in it. Each entity extinguished causes the substance in the cauldron to decrease by one level. If the cauldron is filled with powder snow, it then becomes a water cauldron.

=== Redstone component ===
[[File:Cauldron transmission over piston.png|An example of a cauldron used in a [[redstone]] circuit.|thumb]]
{{see also|Redstone circuit}}

A cauldron can act as a power source for a [[redstone comparator]]. With a cauldron behind it (either directly, or separated by an unpowered solid block), a comparator outputs a signal strength proportional to how full the cauldron is: 0 for empty, 1 for one-third full, 2 for two-thirds full, and 3 for completely full or filled with lava. However, if there is a block between the cauldron and the comparator, the comparator does not immediately update.

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}}.

=== Enchantments ===

A hoe can receive the following enchantments and curses:

=== Fuel ===

Wooden hoes can be used as a [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per hoe.

=== Smelting ingredient ===

{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Hoe;Golden Hoe|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}
===Piglins===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to golden hoes and run toward any golden hoes on the ground, and inspect them for 6 to 8 seconds before putting them in their inventory.

== 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.

Added snow blocks.

Issues

Issues relating to "Snow Block" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia

  • Snow may still fall on top of snow blocks, making them look taller than they actually are.
  • When a snow block is on grass, the grass block changes to a different "snowy" texture as if a snow layer is on it.
    • However, since snow is a solid block, the grass will change to dirt shortly after.
