This article is about the natural spawning of players and mobs. For mob spawners, see Monster Spawner. For the player, see The Player.

Spawning refers to players and mobs being created and placed in the game world. Players will respawn at their spawn point, or at the bed they last slept in upon death. Mobs will despawn upon death.

Player spawning

World spawn

Spawning Area

World spawning area. White represents the extent of singleplayer, blue represents multiplayer, and yellow represents the world spawn point.

New players will initially spawn within a small area surrounding the world spawn point when the server is not in adventure mode. This area is 20x20 blocks in singleplayer and reduced to 10x10 blocks in multiplayer, while the area itself is offset in the Northwest direction of the world spawn point. Upon death, the player will then respawn within this area unless they have had their individual spawn point changed.

When spawning, the player will be placed upon the highest block of the matching X and Z location that they have spawned at, even if this would set the player above the maximum build height. This area will not consider the existence of a block to spawn on, which can result in players spawning above the void if there are no blocks at that X and Z location. The world spawn point itself can be changed using the /setworldspawn command.

The world spawn point also determines the center of the permanently loaded spawn chunks.

Adventure Mode

When the server's settings set the default gamemode to adventure mode (using the server.properties), then the normal spawning mechanic is ignored and players are spawned directly on the world spawn. This includes the x, y and z coordinates and even if there is no block there and even if there are blocks above it.

If the y coordinate is not a valid spawning area then the server looks up until it finds one, at most players can spawn at y 256.

If there is space to spawn but it is in the middle of the air, the player will spawn in the middle of the air, even falling into the void if there is a hole.

The spawnpoint can be changed using /setworldspawn and it follows the same rules.

Individual spawn

The individual spawn point of the player can be changed by lying in a bed or using the /spawnpoint command. If the individual spawning area of the player is obstructed upon their death, they will be forced to respawn at the world spawn. Lying in a bed will allow for leniency in obstruction, in that the player will attempt to respawn on other blocks near the bed if the original point becomes blocked. If the spawn point set via /spawnpoint becomes obstructed, the player will not be given this leniency in respawning.

Animal spawning

Approximately one in ten newly generated chunks will contain mobs, usually in packs of up to four of the same species. They will always spawn on the highest available block in a column i.e. the one that can see the sky. For an animal to spawn on it, this block must be opaque and the two blocks above it must be transparent. The block does not need to be grass nor does it need to be illuminated (as it does with Mob Spawning).

Animals do not spawn in desert or ocean biomes, with the exception of squid.

CowInATree

A cow that generated with the map inside a tree's leaves and could not escape, a common sight in forested hill areas.

Randomness for animal spawning is derived from the world seed, which means that worlds with the same seed will generate chunks with the same animals in the same places.

Very rarely, new animals can spawn in already generated chunks, just like monsters do. When animals spawn in this way, they do so only on grass blocks with light level 9 or greater above them. This is also a requirement for animals spawning from monster spawners. Unlike monsters, animals do not spontaneously despawn, except for wild ocelots and wolves (which can despawn only when they are hostile).

Mob spawning

Mobs are broadly divided into four categories: hostile, friendly, water (i.e. Squid) and ambient (i.e. Bat). Hostile mobs have a spawning cycle once every game tick (1/20th of a second). Friendly and water mobs have only one spawning cycle every 400 ticks (20 seconds). Because of this, hostile mobs can spawn at any time, but animals spawn very rarely. Instead, most animals spawn within chunks when they are generated.

Mobs spawn naturally within a square group of chunks centered on the player. In single-player mode, this area will be 15×15 chunks (240×240 blocks), but in multi-player mode the size can vary with the server settings. When there are multiple players, mobs can spawn within the given distance of any of them. However, hostile mobs (and some others) that move farther than 128 blocks from the nearest player will soon despawn (see Despawning), so even with a larger chunk loading radius, the mob spawning area is more-or-less limited to spheres with a radius of 128 blocks, centered at each player.

Mob caps are directly proportional to the total number of chunks eligible for spawning. To calculate the cap, the spawning area is expanded by one chunk in every direction (so the default gives 17×17 chunks), then the total number of chunks is plugged into the following formula:

 cap = constant * chunks / 256

Each mob category has a separate cap and a different constant in the formula:

 Hostile = 70
 Passive = 10
 Ambient (Bats) = 15
 Water = 5

In single player mode, the chunk count is 17×17 = 289, and the caps work out to:

 Hostile = 79
 Passive = 11
 Ambient = 16
 Water = 5

In multiplayer, chunks that are in range of multiple players are only counted once. So the more spread out the players are, the more chunks will be covered and the higher the caps will be.

The cap is checked once at the beginning of each spawning cycle. If the number of living mobs in a category is over its cap, the entire spawning cycle for that category is skipped.

Spawning science

Example of a mob pack spawning. The 41×1×41 spawning area is shaded blue (not to scale). The yellow figures represent the actual positions that mobs could spawn in after checking the environment. Note that the mobs can spawn inside torch and ladder blocks. But they can't spawn on top of glass because it's not opaque. The red cube is the center of the pack, which must be an air block, but the blocks above and below it can be anything.

Spawning requirements

Requirements for the spawning location of individual mobs

For each spawning cycle, one attempt is made to spawn a pack of mobs in each eligible chunk. A random location in the chunk is chosen to be the center point of the pack. For the pack to spawn at all, the center block must be water for water mobs and air for all other mobs. Note that in the latter case, it must actually be an air block. Any other block, even a non-colliding one, will prevent the entire pack from spawning.

If the pack location is suitable, 12 attempts are made to spawn up to 4 mobs (8 for Wolves, 1 for Ghasts) within a 41×1×41 area centered at that block (that's a 41×41 square that is one block high). Mobs will spawn with the lowest part of their body inside this area. For each spawn attempt, a block location within the pack area is chosen at random. Though the pack area extends 21 blocks out from the center, the random location is heavily skewed toward the center of the pack. Approximately 85% of spawns will be within 5 blocks of the pack center, and 99% within 10 blocks of the center.

All mobs within a pack are the same species. The species for the entire pack is chosen randomly from those eligible to spawn at the location of the first spawn attempt in the pack:

Each individual spawn attempt succeeds only if all of the following conditions are met:

  • There must be no players and no player spawn points within a 24 block distance (spherical) of the spawning block
  • If it's a squid, then...
    • the spawning block must contain liquid (water or lava)
    • the spawning block must be between level 46 and 62, inclusive
    • the spawning mob must not be obstructed by other mobs
  • If it's not a squid, then...
    • the block directly below it must have a solid top surface (opaque, upside down slabs / stairs and others)
    • the block directly below it may not be bedrock
    • the spawning block itself must be non-opaque and non-liquid
    • the block directly above it must be non-opaque
    • the spawning mob hitbox must not be obstructed by solid blocks, other mobs or liquids
  • If it's an animal, then...
    • the block directly below the spawning block must be grass
    • the light level of the spawning block must be 9 or brighter
  • If it's an ocelot, then...
    • the spawning block must be above level 62
    • the block directly below the spawning block must be grass or leaves
    • there is a 1/3 chance the spawn will fail
  • If it's a hostile mob in the overworld, then...
    • the light level of the spawning block must be 7 or darker, and more light increases the chance that the spawn will fail
    • sunlight falling on the spawning block further increases the chance that the spawn will fail, by up to 50%
  • If it's a Slime, then...
    • the spawning block must be in a chunk eligible to spawn slimes (see the Slime page for details)
    • the spawning block must be below level 40
    • if the spawn is in a swamp biome, the light level has to be 8 or darker, and the spawning block be on level 51 through 69
    • there is an additional 90% chance the spawn will fail, thus slimes only spawn 1/10th as often as other mobs, all other things being equal
  • If it's a Ghast, then there is a 95% chance the spawn will fail, thus ghasts only spawn 1/20th as often as other mobs

If all of these conditions are met then the mob is spawned. The pack is complete when 4 mobs have spawned (or 8 wolves, or 1 ghast), or 12 attempts have been made, whichever comes first. The exception(s) to these rules is the Enderdragon or the Wither

Notes

  • Due to the general block checks, all mobs besides squid must spawn on top of an opaque block with at least two blocks of headroom, even ghasts, etc. However, short mobs can spawn in a one block high space if the block above is transparent, like a glass block or piston.
  • While individual mobs can spawn inside signs, pressure plates, and other non-opaque blocks, packs cannot. They need a completely empty block in the center. Since a pack spawns all at one level, there needs to be some air blocks right above a flat surface to allow mobs to spawn on it, and more air blocks will always allow more spawning.
  • Similarly, buildings surrounded by air will spawn more mobs inside than underground rooms because packs that spawn outside of the building can spawn mobs inside it.
  • The mob caps tend to be reached in seconds. Because of this, mobs can be funneled into a spawning room by preventing them from spawning outside of it.
  • The caps also mean that the faster mobs are killed, the faster they will spawn.
  • Because the caps are only checked at the beginning of a spawn cycle, they can be dramatically exceeded when a large number of mobs spawn in a single cycle. This happens often with squid, which have a fairly low cap (5 in single player) but can spawn in the hundreds in a single cycle, in an area with lots of water.
  • In multiplayer, mob caps are shared by all players, no matter where they are. If one player can make a lot of mobs spawn near them, say, with a mob farm, players elsewhere in the world will see fewer mobs of the same category. Likewise, if a player can prevent mobs from spawning near them, perhaps by hanging around a large body of water and illuminating nearby caves, they will effectively dump their mobs on everyone else.
  • Mobs used to not spawn above y co-ordinate 240 due to a bug, but as of 1.4.6 this is fixed and mobs now can spawn above level 240.
  • In multiplayer, if the server.properties file has "view-distance=9" or below, mob spawning is severely reduced (or they de-spawn too quickly), and may result in the player encountering no mobs at all. Set the view distance to 10 or higher to ensure mobs spawn correctly.

Other types of spawning

A Monster Spawner causes mobs to spawn constantly in the area around it.

A thrown chicken egg has a 1 in 8 chance of spawning a chicken, and an additional 1 in 32 chance of spawning 4 chickens from a single egg, so there is a total of 1 in 256 chance for a single thrown egg to spawn 4 chickens.

Cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, mooshrooms, villagers, ocelots and wolves can breed. All of this requires a player to breed them except for villagers.

A Snow Golem, Iron Golem, or Wither can be made to spawn if a player builds the proper structure out of blocks. Iron Golems can also spawn in sufficiently populous villages. See their respective pages for full details.

In Creative mode, the player can use Spawn Eggs to spawn most mobs. When mobs are spawned this way, all normal spawning requirements, such as light level and block type, are ignored.

Siege: Zombies can spawn in large groups in villages at midnight, ignoring most of the usual restrictions. (It could even happen in mushroom biomes or if /gamerule doMobSpawning false was set. Sieges were disabled by an apparent bug for several major versions, this has however been fixed as of version 1.8.

A Monster Egg will spawn a silverfish if broken, or if a nearby silverfish is attacked.

Witches will spawn in Witch Huts.

Zombie Pigmen can spawn from Nether portals in the Overworld. Lighting and player proximity don't prevent this, so don't put a portal in your house without also installing a trap!

  • This is meant to imply they are coming from the Nether, but in fact is a true spawn.
  • Zombie Pigmen, like any other mob, can also travel through such portals in either direction, but they do need to come from a loaded chunk. In single-player, if the player is in the Overworld, no Nether chunks are loaded.
  • If a mob does enter a portal, if the chunk on the other end isn't loaded (i.e. if no players are nearby and the other end isn't in a spawn chunk) the mob will be "frozen in time". As a result the next time a player goes through the portal the mob will unfreeze and be right there beside the portal. Players attempting to dispose of lots of mobs via nether portals will get swarmed the next time they go through. However if they enter the nether at a different location and approach the "swarmed" portal from a distance the mobs will "unfreeze" the moment the edge of the player's loaded chunk radius reaches them and hopefully will wander off before the player gets there.
  • Note that after passing through a portal, non-player mobs cannot re-enter the portal for some time (even after the chunk later gets loaded), and Overworld-spawned Zombie Pigmen are likely under the same restriction.

Killing medium and large slimes and magma cubes will spawn more of them, but in a smaller size.

When a pig gets struck by lightning, it is replaced by a newly spawned zombie pigman.

When a villager gets struck by lightning, it is replaced by a newly spawned witch.

A single Ender Dragon is created in The End, but this occurs when the dimension is created, rather than as part of a spawning cycle.

Despawning

Mob spawning ranges

Various mob spawning ranges, illustrated

Monsters (not holding items or wearing armor) and squid (but not animals), including hostile wolves as of 1.1, can cease to exist, or "despawn", under certain conditions:

  • A mob that has had no player within 32 blocks of it for more than 30 seconds has a 1 in 800 chance of despawning on each game tick (1/20th of a second). Therefore, the half-life of monsters not within 32 blocks of a player is 27.73 seconds (after the initial 30 seconds have elapsed).
  • A mob will immediately despawn if there is no player within 128 blocks of it. Note that this is a Euclidean sphere, not a cylinder from map top to bottom and not a taxicab sphere (which is more like an octahedron). Example: A mob at 0/y/0 will remain at least 30 seconds (as above) if the player moves to 65/y/65 (real distance 91.9), but despawns immediately if the player moves to 91/y/91 (real distance 128.7).
  • All hostile mobs (including those that are holding items) in a world will despawn if the difficulty is set to peaceful, regardless as to where the player is positioned in the world.
  • In multiplayer, despawning does not occur while there are no players in the game.
  • A monster which has been named with a name tag will not despawn. However, one created from a renamed spawn egg will despawn as normal.
  • If a monster is holding any items or wearing any armor that was given by a player or picked up from the ground, it will not despawn.

A '''shield''' is a tool used for protecting the [[player]] against attacks.

== Obtaining ==

|showdescription=1
|Damaged Shield
|Damaged Shield
|Output=Shield
|description= The durability of the two shields is added together, plus an extra 5% durability. The repaired shield has no pattern.
|type= Combat
}}

Shields may also be repaired on an [[anvil]] by using [[planks]] or another shield. Shields repaired on anvils retain their pattern.

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level armorer [[villager]]s have {{frac|1|3}}{{only|Bedrock|short=1}}/{{frac|2|5}}{{only|Java|short=1}} chance of selling a shield for 5 [[emerald]]s as their sixth trade.

== Usage ==
Despite using iron in its crafting recipe, it cannot be smelted into [[iron nugget]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-111738}}</ref>

=== Defense ===
Shields are used for [[blocking]] incoming attacks. {{control|Using}}{{Only|Java|short=1}} or {{Control|sneaking}}{{Only|Bedrock|short=1}} causes a player to slow to a [[sneaking]] pace, and after {{convert|5|ticks|seconds}}<ref>{{bug|MC-100949||Shield blocking is delayed}}</ref>, attacks coming from in front of the player are blocked, dealing no damage. When the shield blocks an attack of {{hp|3}} or stronger, it takes durability damage equal to the strength of the attack rounded up.  

Most blocked projectiles that carry status effects (such as [[Shulker#Shulker bullet|shulker bullets]]{{only|java|short=1}}, flaming [[arrow]]s, or tipped arrows) do not affect the blocker. [[Trident]]s & arrows can be deflected into other targets. Knockback from melee attacks and projectiles is prevented, while knockback from [[explosion]]s, [[hoglin]], and [[ravager]] attacks are significantly reduced.

The shield directionally blocks all attacks coming from within the FOV of the direction the wielder is facing, providing a full hemisphere of coverage to them. If the wielder faces straight up, they are likely to miss their blocks.<ref>{{bug|MC-109101||Shields do not block damage while the player faces straight up}}</ref><!--straight down fix: MC-92019-->

Mobs that deal continuous contact damage such as the slime, magma cube, and blaze rapidly drain the shield's durability for as long as the shielded player remains within the mob's hitbox.<ref>{{bug|MC-169167}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MCPE-119451}}</ref>

Blockable attacks include:
*Melee attacks, except by a warden, axe-wielding mobs or by a sprinting player wielding an axe, however even without sprinting an axe still greatly decreases the durability 
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Normal, tipped, and spectral [[arrow]]s
** Arrows other than [[Piercing]] are totally deflected and can hit other targets.
** Status effects do not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
***This can be used to damage the attacker or another mob down there.
*[[Flame|Flaming arrows]]
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*[[Trident]]s
*[[Snowball]]s and [[egg]]s
*Spines from [[pufferfish]]
*Bullets from [[shulker]]s
** The levitation effect does not carry through to the blocker{{only|java|short=1}}.
*Spit from [[llama]]s
*[[Fireball]]s, such as from [[blaze]]s and [[fire charge]]s
** Burning does not carry through to the blocker.
*Direct hits from [[ghast]] [[fireball]]s
** These still cause environmental damage.
*All explosions{{only|JE|short=1}}
*Explosion damage from [[creeper]]s
*[[TNT]] that another player lit
*[[Ravager]] headbutts
** These still knock the blocker back by about 3 blocks.
** Blocking these strikes can stun the ravager for a moment, and it roars afterward.
*Ravager roars are blocked but still knock back the blocker.
*[[Bee]] stings are blocked, but bees continuously attack until the player stops blocking and the player is stung.
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s (only reduces damage by 50%).
*Damage reflected from [[Thorns]] enchantment / [[Guardian|guardians]].

They cannot block:
*Arrows from a [[crossbow]] enchanted with [[Piercing]]
** This does not reduce the shield's durability.
*[[Status effect]]s from tipped arrows or shulker bullets {{only|bedrock|short=1}} <ref>{{bug|MCPE-52904}}</ref>
** Direct projectile damage is blocked, but the effect still carries through.
*Status effects from splash/lingering [[potion]]s, [[evoker]]s' fangs, or breath from the [[ender dragon]]
*Beam attacks from [[guardian]]s or [[elder guardian]]s, or the [[warden]]'s sonic boom attack
*TNT that the blocking player lit themselves{{only|BE|short=1}}
*TNT that a [[Redstone (disambiguation)|redstone mechanism]] lit{{only|BE|short=1}}
*[[Fall damage]], including that from [[ender pearl]]s
** This also includes when the player rides an [[entity]] that died due to fall damage.
*Strikes from a warden or any [[axe]]-wielding mob (e.g., [[vindicator]]s, [[piglin brute]]s, [[zombie]]s after disabling players shield they attack another time immediately)
** Such strikes disable being able to use shields for 5 seconds.

=== Applying patterns ===
[[File:Cyan Shield Screenshot.png|250px|thumb|A custom shield.]]
Shields can be decorated by applying a [[banner]].

{{Crafting
|showdescription=1
|Shield
|Matching Banner
|Output=Matching Shield; Ominous Shield
|B2link=Banner
|Olink=Shield
|type=Combat
|description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no preexisting patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield.
}}

Unlike with [[banner]]s, shields cannot be repainted or washed in a [[cauldron]]. Shields have only half the resolution of banners, making patterns look slightly different. In the game files, the pattern textures can be found in a separate directory called entity/shield.

{{IN|java}}, shields with patterns can also be obtained using the same commands as banners, except <code>banner</code> has to be replaced with <code>shield</code>.

=== Enchantments ===
A shield can receive the following [[enchantments]], but only through an [[anvil]]:

{| class="wikitable col-2-center"
|+
!Name
!Max Level
![[Enchanting|Method]]
|-
|[[Unbreaking]]

?The spawning area used to be 17x17 chunks rather than 15x15. The area was reduced, but the old size is still used to calculate mob caps.
It was not always possible to funnel mobs into a spawning room by preventing them from spawning elsewhere. Some older sources of information about spawning might make reference to this.
Large amounts of empty space used to encourage spawning in the general area. This remains true on a smaller scale, and only horizontally, due to pack spawning.

'''Raw iron''' is a raw metal resource obtained from mining [[iron ore]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
[[Iron ore]] and [[deepslate iron ore]] mined with a [[stone pickaxe]] or higher drops 1 unit of raw iron. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop an extra unit per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 4 with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops the ore block instead.

=== Crafting ===

'''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.

'''Cookies''' are [[food]] items that can be obtained in large quantities, but do not restore hunger or saturation significantly.

== Obtaining ==
=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level farmer [[villager]]s sell 18 cookies for 3 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A2= Wheat
|B2= Cocoa Beans
|C2= Wheat
|Output= Cookie,8
|type= Foodstuff
}}

=== Villager gifts ===
{{in|java}}, if the [[player]] has the [[Hero of the Village]] effect, a farmer villager may gift them a cookie.

== Usage ==
=== Food ===
To eat a cookie, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|2}} [[hunger]] and 0.4 hunger 
[[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Parrots ===
Feeding a cookie to a [[parrot]] kills the parrot instantly, and causes it to give off [[Poison]] [[particles]] as it dies due to chocolate being toxic to parrots.
{{IN|Bedrock}}, feeding a cookie to a parrot inflicts the parrot with [[Fatal Poison]] for 1,000 seconds.

=== Composting ===
Placing a cookie into a [[composter]] has an 85% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Considering the high yield of cookies (8 cookies from 1 cocoa bean and 2 wheats) and the higher chance to successfully compost a cookie (85%), it is more efficient to craft cookies to compost rather than using separate ingredients. For example, 100 wheats and 50 cocoa beans, which in total could yield only 13.92 bone meal on average, could be crafted into 400 cookies to yield 48.57 bone meal on average.

An '''amethyst shard''' is a crystal ore obtained from mining a fully grown [[amethyst cluster]] or can be obtained from chests in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mining ===
An [[amethyst cluster]] mined using a non-[[Silk Touch]], non-[[Fortune]] [[pickaxe]] drops 4 amethyst shards. When mined using any other tool, [[item]] or mechanism (such as [[explosion]]s or [[piston]]s) it drops 2 shards. The maximum amount of amethyst shards dropped can be increased with Fortune. Fortune I gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance for eight shards, averaging 5.33 shards; Fortune II gives a 25% chance (each) to give eight or 12 shards, averaging 7 shards, and Fortune III gives a 20% chance (each) to give 8, 12, or 16 shards, averaging 8.8 shards.

If the amethyst cluster in any of its growth stages is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself rather than amethyst shards.

;Trim color palette
The following color palette is shown on the designs on trimmed armor:
*{{TrimPalette|amethyst shard}}

=== Allay duplication ===
If an amethyst shard is given to an [[allay]] that is currently dancing to an active [[jukebox]], the allay emits heart particles, consumes the amethyst shard and duplicates into another allay. After this, there is a 5 minute cool down until both allays can be duplicated like this again.

Previously, spawn was determined by light level rather than the current chunk properties. This was no longer the case in 1.0.0. In a Beta world, hostile mobs would spawn in light level 7 or lower while friendly mobs would spawn in light levels 9 or higher. Because of this, hostile mobs had a slight chance of spawning even though it was light due to them spawning in the air where there was little light. If you had a lot of torches down, go down to your mine, then return, you would have a tendency to find your house having some cows, pigs, chickens or sheep running about.

Issues

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

Trivia

  • Sometimes it is possible for the world spawn to be underground or in the ocean.
  • World spawns can even be inside a dungeon or a village. (very rarely)
  • Sometimes the spawn point of a world is supposed to be right next to a block, but rarely a glitch occurs and the spawn point is in the block.
  • It is possible for the spawn point of a world to be in a lava lake, in which case starting a game in survival mode is nearly impossible unless there is water nearby.
