Strongholds are structures that occur naturally underground, and are primarily important because they house end portals. Strongholds can be located using eyes of ender.

Generation

File:2011-11-12 15.10.11.png

Stronghold with End Portal block and a silverfish spawner. Note that one of the End Portal Blocks already has an eye of ender in it.

There is a limit of three strongholds per world (1 per world in console versions). All strongholds are located at random positions in a radius between 640 and 1152 blocks from the point at x = 0, z = 0 (not the world spawn, which may be a couple hundred blocks away. Strongholds also may extend further in or out of that area). The three strongholds are spawned at roughly equal angles from the center point of the world (that is, each stronghold is in the region of 120 degrees from the others, measured from the origin). The game will not generate a stronghold partially above-ground: any portion above the ground layer will be replaced with air blocks, leaving a cutaway. Strongholds may generate at bedrock level, cutting the bedrock.

Structure

Strongholds vary in size. They contain several doors and rooms made mostly of stone brick, mossy stone brick, and cracked stone brick. Strongholds are lit by enough torches to provide visibility in most areas, though not enough to suppress mob spawns.

Each Stronghold contains several dispersed chests containing a variety of loot.

Strongholds are primarily generated underground, usually unexposed to the surface and only visible within caves, possibly even underwater caves. Strongholds contain silverfish that are created when someone either mines one of the blocks within, or finds the End Portal room, which contains a silverfish spawner.

Rooms

Strongholds feature various types of main rooms. Each room has an entrance, which is either a plain 3×3 opening, a wall with a wooden door, a wall with an iron door (with buttons), or a 3×3 opening with a grate of iron bars leaving a 1×2 opening, and may have exits to other room pieces or dead-end "exits" into stone. Additional "passages" between rooms may exist if their generation overlaps or if the stronghold intersects a cave, mineshaft, or other structure.

Stronghold generation begins with a spiral staircase room with a 5-way crossing at the bottom, with additional rooms being randomly generated from the exits of previous rooms up to a maximum distance of 50 rooms and 112 blocks horizontally. If a portal room is not generated, generation is redone.

  • End portal room: Contains an unactivated End portal and a silverfish spawner. There are two pools of lava in the front sides of the room and a bigger lava pool below the End Portal. There are 16 iron bar windows in the room, and the entrance is always a grate. One per stronghold, and never within 5 rooms of the starting staircase.
  • Libraries (see below). Maximum two per stronghold, and never within 4 rooms of the starting staircase.
  • Large rooms: A room with three exits (four counting the entrance). The center of the room may have various decorations. Maximum six per stronghold.
    • Empty rooms: Has no decoration.
    • Stone Pillar rooms: Has a stone brick pillar with torches on it.
    • Fountain rooms: Contain a fountain in the center, which consists of a stone brick ring and pillar with a water source block on top of the pillar.
    • Store rooms: Dual-level rooms, each 2 blocks high, with a cobblestone center structure joining the two. A lone torch is housed within the structure. A ladder runs up the side wall for access to the second floor, which is made of wood planks and contains a Chest.
  • Five-way crossing: Has up to five exits (six counting the entrance): one across from the entrance down a short stairway made of stone slabs and stone brick blocks, one each to the left and right of the entrance, and one on an upper level reached by a short stairway made of stone slabs and stone brick blocks, and one on the upper level across a bridge of stone slabs and double stone slabs over the downward stair. A single torch is on the side of the bridge. Maximum five per stronghold.
  • Empty prison cells: A corridor with one wall partially made of iron bars and with two iron doors (in an "open" position, with no buttons). Beyond each iron door are cells with an iron bar wall between them. An exit is opposite the entrance. Maximum five per stronghold.
  • Spiral staircase: A 3×3 spiral stair made of stone brick blocks and stone slabs, leading down, with an exit at the bottom. Maximum six per stronghold.
  • Straight staircase: A 3 block wide staircase of cobblestone stairs leading downwards, with an exit at the bottom of the stairs. There is also an empty alcove under the stairs. Maximum five per stronghold.
  • Corridor: A bare corridor with up to 3 exits: one straight ahead, and optional exits to the left and right.
  • Chest corridor: A corridor with a small altar made of stone slabs, with a chest on the altar. One exit, opposite the entrance. Maximum four per stronghold.
  • Corridor turn: A bare corridor with one exit, left or right. May resemble a small room if both the entrance and the next room's entrance have doors.
  • Dead-end corridor: A bare corridor with no exits, although it is likely to intersect other rooms. This room type never has a door or grate at the entrance.

Libraries

File:StrongHold Library.png

A library inside a stronghold.

Libraries occur in two sizes: Small single-level libraries, and larger duplex libraries. All libraries contain bookshelves, wooden planks, chest(s) and cobwebs dispersed randomly.

Large libraries contain a second level consisting of a surrounding balcony with fences as railings, and fences/torches arranged in a chandelier formation over the center of the room. The two levels are connected by ladders on the wall furthest from the entrance.

Chests are found on the corner of one bookshelf in each library, with an additional chest in the corner of the top floor in duplex libraries.

| title = Water Bucket
| renewable = Yes
| image = Water Bucket.png
| stackable = No
}}

A '''water bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[water]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Interacting ===
To fill an empty [[bucket]] with water, {{control|use}} it on a [[water]] source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket.

{{control|Using}} an empty bucket on a [[cauldron]] filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket.

Water buckets can also be filled by placing an empty one in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]], and a wet [[sponge]] into the oven slot. The bucket is filled when the [[smelting]] process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused.

=== Chest Loot ===

{{LootChestItem|water-bucket}}

== Usage ==
{{Control|Using}} a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a [[waterlogging|waterloggable]] block waterlogs the block. In [[the Nether]], however, the water evaporates, making a fire extinguishing sound and displays smoke particles while nothing gets placed.

=== Dispensers ===
A [[dispenser]] can be loaded with a water bucket, and when activated it places a water block directly before it, emptying the bucket. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it draws the source into the bucket when activated.

=== Cauldrons ===
A single water bucket can fill a [[cauldron]], and using an empty bucket on a water-filled cauldron fills the bucket. Empty buckets cannot be filled from partly-filled cauldrons.

=== Filling bucket with mobs ===
Water buckets can be used on a [[fish]], [[axolotl]] or [[tadpole]] to create a [[bucket of aquatic mob]].

=== Transportation ===
{{main|Tutorials/Elevators#Water elevators}}
Water buckets can be used as a means of quickly descending great heights in the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], either by creating a waterfall or using the water bucket while falling to create a safe water landing.

Water buckets can also be used to climb vertical surfaces anywhere but [[the Nether]] by repeatedly creating higher waterfalls from the bottom and swimming up them.

}}
'''Suspicious stew''' is a [[food]] item that can give the [[player]] a [[effect|status effect]] that depends on the [[flower]] used to craft it.

== Obtaining ==
{{IN|Bedrock}}, suspicious stew is the only food item in the game that can be obtained from the [[Creative]] inventory only by searching. However, it can be crafted and can also be found in [[shipwreck]] chests. Suspicious stew can be given with [[commands]] like {{cmd|give}}, but {{in|java}}, unless NBT data like that listed in the data values section is included, consuming it has no effect and still restores the same hunger points as a normal suspicious stew. In [[Bedrock Edition]], giving the player a suspicious stew through commands causes the stew to choose an allowable status effect at random.

=== Harvesting ===
Suspicious stew can be obtained by "milking" a brown [[mooshroom]] with a [[bowl]] after using a small flower on it. When a small flower is used on a brown mooshroom, the brown mooshrom produces a suspicious stew related to that small flower the next time it is milked with a bowl. Red mooshrooms do not produce suspicious stew. The brown mooshroom returns to producing [[mushroom stew]] until fed another small flower.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Red Mushroom
|Brown Mushroom
|Bowl
|Any Flower
|Output=Suspicious Stew
|shapeless=true
|type=Foodstuff
}}
Suspicious stew is not listed in the recipe book. However, it can be quickly assembled by clicking the [[Mushroom Stew|mushroom stew]] recipe and adding one small flower to it.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|suspicious-stew}}

=== Mob loot ===
After being given a flower, a brown [[mooshroom]] can be "milked" for suspicious stew by {{control|using}} a [[bowl]] on it. The flower type determines the stew's effect using the same rule as a crafted stew. Milking a red mooshroom after feeding it a flower does not yield a suspicious stew specific to that flower.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, expert-level farmer [[villager]]s can offer either 1 or 2 suspicious stew trades, each stew for one [[emerald]].

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level farmer villager offers to sell suspicious stew for one emerald as well.

The [[trading]] interface does not indicate the type of suspicious stew being sold, but each trade entry consistently yields the same type of stew, so the player can remember or make a note of the types offered by a given villager, such as "this villager's first stew gives [[blindness]], and their second entry gives saturation".

== Usage ==
=== Food ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management}}
To eat suspicious stew, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|6}} hunger and 7.2 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] and gives a few seconds of a [[effect|status effect]] that varies depending on which flower was used to craft it. The effect is not displayed in the tooltip, texture, etc., meaning that the player cannot know in advance what the effect is without knowing which flower was used.

{{/Effects}}
The [[bowl]] is emptied and returned to the player after the suspicious stew has been eaten, and can be re-used to craft more stews. Unlike most foods, suspicious stew can be eaten even if the player's hunger bar is full.

The Saturation effect effectively makes those two stews a superfood: In those 6 or 7 ticks it can restore up to 6(7) hunger and 12(14) saturation points ''on top of'' their food value, for a total of at least {{hunger|12}} hunger, and effectively maximizing saturation. This is the largest amount of hunger and saturation the player can get from a single food item. Regeneration can restore up to {{Health|3}} health, and Poison or Wither can inflict up to {{Health|4}} damage.

Consuming suspicious stew is the only way to obtain the Saturation and Blindness effects in vanilla ''Minecraft'' without the use of commands.

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

===Mob loot===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Usage==

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

====Durability====
Each tier of axe has a different durability:
{| class="wikitable sortable"

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

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

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

====Java Edition====

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

*Before [[Java Edition 1.13]], in the language files, axes were referred to as Hatchets.<ref name="1.8 lang">''1.8/assets/minecraft/lang/en_US.lang'', line 915: '''item.hatchetIron.name= Iron Axe'''</ref>
*Weaponsmith villagers gifting stone, iron and golden axes is a reference to the story ''[[wikipedia:The Honest Woodcutter|The Honest Woodcutter]]'', where a woodcutter dropped his axe into a river, and is successively provided a silver and a golden axe by the river god.{{cn}}

A '''glow ink sac''' is an item dropped by a [[glow squid]] upon death. Unlike regular ink sacs, it can be added to [[sign]]s to make glowing text, and can be used to craft glow item frames.

== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
[[Glow squid]]s drop 1–3 glow ink sacs upon death. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 1–6 with Looting III.

=== Compound creation ===
A glow ink sac can be created from its base [[element]]s, using the [[compound creator]].{{only|bedrock|education}}

=== Signs ===
[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|150px|An oak sign with a glow ink sac used on it.]]
Glow ink sacs can be used on [[sign]]s or [[hanging sign]]s to make their text brighter in low light levels. This also adds an outline around the text on the sign, the color of which is based on the color of the sign's text. The text does not emit any light, it is only more visible in darkness, similarly to the eyes of spiders and endermen. Normal [[ink sacs]] can be applied to revert glowing text back to default.

==== Unit repair ====
{{main|Anvil mechanics#Unit repair}}
{{/Repairing with Anvils}}
A sword can be repaired in an [[anvil]] by adding units of the [[tiers]]' repair material, with each repair material restoring 25% of the sword's maximum durability, rounded down.

=== Mob loot ===
{{Main|Drops#Equipped items}}

Some [[mobs]] can spawn with a sword and have an 8.5% chance of dropping them upon death caused by player. This chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], up to a maximum of 11.5% with Looting III. [[Zombie]]s and [[husk]]s can drop iron swords, [[zombified piglin]]s and [[piglin]]s can drop golden swords, and [[wither skeleton]]s can drop stone swords. The dropped sword is usually badly damaged and may be enchanted. Stone swords dropped by wither skeletons are never enchanted.

A [[vex]] wields an iron sword that normally has a 0% chance of dropping, because their main hand's <code>HandDropChances</code> is 0. However, this chance increases by 1 percentage point per level of Looting. It is never damaged{{only|java}} and may be enchanted.

{{IN|be}}, [[pillager]]s and [[vindicator]]s that spawn from raids have a 4.1% chance (5.12% chance on hard mode) of dropping a damaged iron sword. This sword has a 50% chance of being enchanted.

=== Trading ===
[[File:Weaponsmith Diamond Sword Trade.png|thumb|right|The diamond sword trade of a weaponsmith.]]

{{IN|bedrock}}, an apprentice-level weaponsmith villagers sells enchanted iron swords for at least 7-21 emeralds, and a master-level weaponsmith sells enchanted diamond swords for at least 13-27 emeralds.

{{IN|java}}, a novice-level weaponsmith villager has a {{frac|2|3}} chance of selling an enchanted iron sword for at least 7-22 emeralds. A master-level weaponsmith offers to sell an enchanted diamond sword for at least 11–27 emeralds.

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

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|iron-sword,level-enchanted-iron-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-iron-sword,golden-sword,random-enchanted-golden-sword,diamond-sword,damaged-diamond-sword,level-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword,damaged-random-enchanted-diamond-sword-2}}

== Usage ==
=== Attacking ===
Pressing {{control|attack}} while holding a sword inflicts damage on both mobs and other players. Upon damaging a mob or player, the sword's [[Item Durability|durability]] decreases by 1.

Attacking a [[boat]] or a [[minecart]] with a sword stone tier or higher instantly destroys it {{only|java}}, without decreasing the sword's durability. Otherwise, it requires 2 hits, with neither decreasing durability.

==== Sweeping ====
{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}
If the attack recharge meter is 84.8% or above and the player is on the ground standing or moving slower than the [[sprinting]] speed in a straight line, the sword performs a sweeping attack indicated by a gale [[particle]] that reaches nearby enemies for {{hp|1}} and knocks them back; the amount of knockback is 80% that of the basal knockback and does not benefit from the [[knockback]] enchantment. As result, the player can perform a sweep attack while they are sprinting diagonally but it is impossible to perform a sweep attack at the same time as a critical hit or while riding some [[entity]]. All enemies within an 1 by 0.25 by 1 block area of any part of the attacked mob and whose feet are 3 or less blocks away from player's feet are affected. The [[sweeping edge]] enchantment increases the damage dealt by 50% of the normal hit damage for level I, 67% for level II and 75% for level III.

=== Damage ===
{{Main|Damage}}

==== Java Edition ====
Swords have an attack speed of 1.6 and take 0.625 seconds to [[Damage#Attack cooldown|recover]].

The most amount of damage that a sword enchanted with [[Sharpness]] V can do is 11 {{in|java}} and 15.25 {{in|bedrock}}, without critical hits.

=== Sword breaking times ===
{{main|Breaking}}

A sword can also be used to destroy certain blocks 50% quicker, sometimes much quicker than with fists. Using a sword to destroy any block that doesn't break instantly by hand decreases its durability by 2; this includes bamboo, despite that the sword is the fastest tool for breaking it.<ref>{{bug|MC-195168||Swords consume double durability than they normally would when destroying bamboo saplings, bamboo, or cobwebs}}</ref>

If a sword is enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], either using [[Creative]] or [[commands]], cobwebs the sword destroys will drop the cobwebs themselves instead of the usual string. This is due to the sword being classified as the proper tool for cobwebs.

The following table shows the time it takes to break blocks on which swords have any effect. Colors indicate what gets dropped:
* White: an original block.
* Blue: block's normal drop (e.g. seeds, sapling, apple).
* Red: nothing.

==== Safety around constructions ====
In Creative mode, swords are unable to break blocks. However, care must still be taken around [[minecart]]s, [[painting]]s, [[item frame]]s,{{only|java}} and [[armor stand]]s; these are entities, thus can be broken with swords in Creative.<ref>{{bug|MC-27140}}</ref><ref>{{bug|MC-18463}}</ref>

=== Enchantments ===
Swords can receive, gathered from mob drops/villager trades or be found in various loot chests (example: End City, Bastion Remnant)with the following [[enchantment]]s:

{{main|Blocking}}
[[File:Parrying.png|thumb|right|The blocking animation using a sword before and after [[Java Edition 14w30a]] (from the [[Adventure Update|Adventure]] to the [[Bountiful Update|Bountiful]] updates).]]
 
Previously, since the [[Adventure Update]], all types of swords could be used to parry to block some forms of damage. If the player is blocking with a sword when attacked, the sword deflects 50% of incoming damage from melee, non-magical projectiles like arrows, and explosions, along with minimizing airborne knockback. The sword is held in front of the player and its durability is not reduced by blocking. The player moves at a slower rate than [[sneaking]] if blocking with a sword. Sword blocks could be engaged and disengaged instantly, with no delay between the input and damage mitigation nor cooldown between lowering a block and raising a new one.
 
After the [[Combat Update]], the sword blocking functionality was replaced by blocking with [[shield]]s and to accommodate the [[dual wield]] system. Shields negate more damage and knockback than sword blocking from "blockable" attacks (they block 100% damage and knockback after [[Java Edition 1.11]]), but, unlike swords, they lose durability, have a 0.25 second startup period before damage can be mitigated and can be temporarily disabled by attacks with an [[axe]].

=== Knockback ===
The knockback dealt by swords used to be higher than while the players are using another melee [[item]]s, like an axe or with the hands. This feature was removed in [[Java Edition 1.9]] and is also no longer used in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
*The sword's traditional [[texture]] came from [[Notch]]'s abandoned RPG, ''[[Legend of the Chambered]]''. The iron sword's texture was created first, as it was from the game, and the other swords followed.
*In ''Java Edition'', with the introduction of netherite swords, it is possible to one-hit kill undead [[mob]]s in the game (except [[wither]]s and [[zombie]]s/[[skeleton]]s with random armor) using a sword with the [[Smite]] V enchantment, without the need to perform a critical hit (this was previously possible only with a [[Smite]] V stone, iron, or diamond axe).
*Plastic diamond and enchanted swords are official ''[[Minecraft]]'' merchandise.<ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-sword?_pos=1&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref><ref>https://shop.minecraft.net/products/minecraft-enchanted-purple-sword?_pos=4&_psq=sword&_ss=e&_v=1.0</ref>
*In the game [[wikipedia:Transformice|''Transformice'']], a diamond sword can be found in the shop.

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
  |A2=Wheat
  |B2=Wheat
  |C2=Wheat
  |Output=Bread
  |type=Foodstuff
}}

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|bread}}

=== Trading ===

Novice-level farmer [[Villager|villagers]] sell 6 bread for one [[emerald]] as part of their [[Trading|trades]]. {{IN|java}} they only have a 40% chance of offering this trade.

=== Villager gifts ===

Farmer villagers may use wheat they have harvested to craft bread, which they can trade with other villagers.

Farmer villagers may throw bread at players under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.{{only|java}}

== Usage ==

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

Bread can be eaten with the use control while it is selected in the [[hotbar]]. Eating bread restores {{hunger|5}} [[hunger]] and 6.0 [[Hunger#Mechanics|hunger saturation]].

=== Breeding ===

Villagers can pick up bread items to become willing, allowing them to breed. Villagers require 3 bread to become willing.

=== Composting ===
Placing bread into a [[composter]] has an 85% chance of raising the compost level by 1. It is more efficient to compost [[wheat]] than bread made from wheat.

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

Trivia

  • Of all the stone brick blocks in a stronghold, approximately 45% are regular stone brick, 30% are mossy stone brick, 20% are cracked stone brick, and 5% are actually monster egg blocks.
  • Strongholds usually spawn underwater, meaning reaching them is difficult, and whole rooms can be flooded if the stronghold is intersected by a mineshaft or ravine.
    • Very rarely, floating End portal rooms can be found in the ocean. Reaching those is also a challenge.
  • There is also on average one room with cobblestone stairs in every stronghold.
  • Portal rooms (and other parts of the stronghold) can be overwritten by ravines, caves, abandoned mineshafts, dungeons, or parts of the stronghold itself, forcing a player to find one of the other two strongholds.
  • There are exactly 233 bookshelves in one large Library Room, which, if mined with a non-Silk Touch axe, will yield exactly 699 books.
