The Overworld is limited to 862 by 862 blocks on the ''[[Xbox 360 Edition]]'', and 256 by 256 blocks on [[Old]] ''[[Pocket Edition]]'' worlds. At the edge of the Overworld, there is an animated world border. Portals in the Overworld can be used to teleport to [[the Nether]].
   
 
The Overworld encompasses the level ceiling down to [[bedrock]] and extending in every direction on the horizontal plane. It is generated through a secret process which creates multiple noise maps to create differing [[Altitude|elevations]], general [[Chunks|chunk]] shapes, and complex [[Generated structures#Mountain|mountain]] and [[Cavern|cave]] systems.

Most [[mobs]] in the game can appear in the Overworld: [[Wolf|Wolves]], [[Bat]]s, [[Pig]]s, [[Sheep]], [[Cow]]s, [[Horse]]s, [[Mooshroom]]s, [[Chicken]]s, [[Chicken Jockey]]s, [[Squid]], [[Zombie]]s, [[Ocelot]]s, [[Skeleton]]s, [[Spider]]s, [[Villager]]s, [[Spider Jockey]]s, [[Witch]]es, [[Enderman|Endermen]], [[Creeper]]s and [[Slime]]s all spawn normally. Zombie Pigmen can also spawn near Nether portals.

Mobs from [[the Nether]] may also pass through [[Nether Portal]]s and enter the Overworld: [[Zombie Pigmen]], [[Magma Cube]]s, [[Wither Skeleton]]s, [[Ghast]]s, and [[Blaze]]s (mobs from the Overworld can also enter the Nether through a Nether Portal). The [[Ender Dragon]] however can't enter the Overworld because there is no return portal from [[the End]] unless the dragon is defeated.

Many seeds are chosen simply because they spawn the player near desirable resources, a stronghold or some certain special structure, such as a dungeon. Players often like to find seeds with other very important generated structures such as [[abandoned mine shaft]]s (possibly for the melon seeds and cobwebs) and [[village]]s (perhaps for a surplus of wheat, potatoes, and/or carrots). While [[Stronghold]]s have a minimum distance from the origin, a seed could also be chosen for a relatively close one.

Seeds can also be chosen for useful [[biome]]s near the spawn point; notably, a Mushroom Island biome provides a large sanctuary from monsters, even underground. Other particularly useful biomes include Jungle ([[wood]], [[cat]]s), Desert ([[NPC village]]s, [[sand]], open line-of-sight), Mesa ([[Hardened Clay|stained clay]]), Taiga ([[wolf|wolves]], [[snow]]), Swampland (aboveground [[slime]]s), and Extreme Hills ([[emerald ore]]s).

The player can't move past those coordinates, though in older versions of the game, the player will just fall through the blocks into [[The Void]], but could keep exploring if flying in [[Creative Mode]]. There is also a height limit of 255.
   
Beyond this edge, world generation is significantly simpler. It is interesting to note that if a person installs an x-ray mod or [[texture pack]], he or she will notice that any chunk after the edge consists of just dirt, sand, stone and water with absolutely no vegetation. Caves ''do'' generate here, but no ores or structures appear inside, and the lighting in some of these caves may appear to make them look brighter with more contrast. If a person reaches it normally, be sure to notice that the sea floor of the chunks after the edge consists of only dirt. Making it stand out, another point to note is that if a person stands on the very border of the edge the ocean will look empty and 'seemingly' be able to see as though there was no water.

  +
Because of these limitations the maximum blocks that can be generated in a world is approximately 921,600,000,000,000,000. This means that a filled world with no entities or tile entities would be 3,686,400,000,000,000,000 bits (409.27261579781770706 Petabytes) in block data alone due to the fact that each standard block is assigned 4 bits of information.
  +
  +
EDIT: At just under 30,000,000 there is an animated wall of blue stripes. As you get near it, the edges of your screen turn red, and you can not go past it. There is nothing past maybe 10 blocks after the wall, just emptiness. This occurs even if there is no ocean to speak of where you are.

The Overworld, as seen in an Extreme Hills biome

The Overworld is the starting dimension in Minecraft. As with all dimensions in the game, the Overworld can generate infinitely. The Overworld is limited to 862 by 862 blocks on the Xbox 360 Edition, and 256 by 256 blocks on Old Pocket Edition worlds. At the edge of the Overworld, there is an animated world border. Portals in the Overworld can be used to teleport to the Nether.

The Overworld encompasses the level ceiling down to bedrock and extending in every direction on the horizontal plane. It is generated through a secret process which creates multiple noise maps to create differing elevations, general chunk shapes, and complex mountain and cave systems.

Most mobs in the game can appear in the Overworld: Wolves, Bats, Pigs, Sheep, Cows, Horses, Mooshrooms, Chickens, Chicken Jockeys, Squid, Zombies, Ocelots, Skeletons, Spiders, Villagers, Spider Jockeys, Witches, Endermen, Creepers and Slimes all spawn normally. Zombie Pigmen can also spawn near Nether portals.

Mobs from the Nether may also pass through Nether Portals and enter the Overworld: Zombie Pigmen, Magma Cubes, Wither Skeletons, Ghasts, and Blazes (mobs from the Overworld can also enter the Nether through a Nether Portal). The Ender Dragon however can't enter the Overworld because there is no return portal from the End unless the dragon is defeated.

Seeds

Main article: Seed

Worlds in Minecraft are generated through a procedural formula that takes a random number as a starting point - a seed, and it will be used to generate all the terrain.

Using a specific seed generates exactly the same world each time, and thus interesting Minecraft worlds could be shared between players. The spawn is not on exactly the same spot, though, so it is wise to give coordinates instead of directions. The seed input is converted into an integer, so, for instance, the word 'Glacier' corresponds to a value of 1772835215, which generates exactly the same world when entered as a seed value.

Many seeds are chosen simply because they spawn the player near desirable resources, a stronghold or some certain special structure, such as a dungeon. Players often like to find seeds with other very important generated structures such as abandoned mine shafts (possibly for the melon seeds and cobwebs) and villages (perhaps for a surplus of wheat, potatoes, and/or carrots, and for the open possibility of trading with villagers.). While Strongholds have a minimum distance from the origin, a seed could also be chosen for a relatively close one. Seeds can also be chosen for useful biomes near the spawn point; notably, a Mushroom Island biome provides a large sanctuary from monsters, even underground. Other particularly useful biomes include Jungle (wood, cats), Desert (NPC villages, sand, open line-of-sight), Mesa (stained clay), Taiga (wolves, snow), Swampland (aboveground slimes), and Extreme Hills (emerald ores). Players can find the current map seed by entering the /seed command.

Sizes

In Classic and Indev, maps can be generated in "small" (128×128×64), "normal" (256×256×64), and "huge" (512×512×64) sizes.

In Infdev, Alpha and Beta, maps are somewhat infinitely big - They are made up of chunks; this means that as the player explores the map distant chunks are generated automatically, leading to theoretically infinite maps. In practice, technical reasons (the limits of 32-bit math[1]) force the maximum map size, including the Far Lands, to be around 9.3 million times the surface area of Earth [1], which comes out to about 4.7 quadrillion km2 (The hard limit where chunks are overwritten is at X/Z of ±34,359,738,368, making the world at most 68,719,476,736 meters wide and long, which is about 4,722,366,482,869,645 km2. When compared to Earth's total surface area, 510,072,000 km2, this works out to be about 9,258,235 times that). Whilst the horizontal planes of the maps are vast in size, the vertical plane remains at a fixed (soft limit) 256-block height [2].

Map limitation

Mc cutoff

Visual cutoff point of a Minecraft map (Left is normal minecraft generation, the right is after limitation.)

While the map is infinite, the number of blocks the player may walk on is limited. The map, counting air as a block, and not counting blocks beyond and at where block physics fail (32,000,000 from the center) from top to bottom, and all in between, is essentially always 2.62144 × 1017 blocks big. The last point a person may still play normally, which in layman terms the very edge of the map is X/Z: 30,000,000. The player can't move past those coordinates, though in older versions of the game, the player will just fall through the blocks into The Void, but could keep exploring if flying in Creative Mode. There is also a height limit of 255.

Beyond this edge, world generation is significantly simpler. Any chunk after the edge consists of just dirt, stone, sand, gravel and water with absolutely no vegetation. Caves do generate here, but no ores or structures appear inside, and the lighting in some of these caves may appear to make them look brighter with more contrast. Another point to note is that if a person stands on the very border of the edge, the ocean will look empty and 'seemingly' be able to see as though there was no water.

Because of these limitations the maximum blocks that can be generated in a world is approximately 921,600,000,000,000,000. This means that a filled world with no entities or tile entities would be 3,686,400,000,000,000,000 bits (409.27261579781770706 Petabytes) in block data alone due to the fact that each standard block is assigned 4 bits of information.

EDIT: At just under 30,000,000 there is an animated wall of blue stripes. As you get near it, the edges of your screen turn red, and you can not go past it. There is nothing past maybe 10 blocks after the wall, just emptiness. This occurs even if there is no ocean to speak of where you are.

Generation

Generated blocks

Entries marked with a D require additional data to fully define the block in a Beta world. Entries marked with an I have a different ID as an inventory item. Entries marked with a B require additional inventory data to fully define the inventory item. Entries marked with a T have tile entities associated with them to store additional data. Blocks with IDs in red cannot be legitimately obtained in the player's inventory in the game; they can only be obtained by "hacking" (such as the use of Inventory editors) or, in multiplayer using the /give server command. Blocks available only in Creative mode are in blue, and blocks available in Survival mode only with the use of a Silk Touch-enchanted tool are in green.

Chunks

Main article: Chunks

Chunks are the method used by Notch to divide maps into manageable pieces. They are 16 blocks wide, 16 blocks long, and 256 blocks high, each containing 65,536 blocks. By adjusting the render distance, differing numbers of chunks will be loaded into memory, ranging from 25 to 1089. Only chunks which have been loaded may experience activity such as spawning, despawning, growth, fluid movement, or player interaction. Upon reaching the required distance away from a chunk, it will be unloaded from the memory, however not deleted. Thus, upon re-entering that area, Minecraft will reload the chunk(s).

Biomes

Main article: Biomes

The Overworld is also subdivided into biomes. What biome you are in determines the physical aspects of the land above ground and can entirely change its appearance. It also influences which mobs may spawn and affects the behavior of the weather. Biomes may have varying sizes, and each has its own features. For example, a forest biome will have large quantities of trees, and a snow biome will have much snow and ice.

Natural structures

Main article: Generated structures

The Overworld is able to seamlessly create new areas by using patterns found in the surrounding chunks and extend those into the newly created chunk. These patterns, while unique to each world, can be categorized easily by comparing them to a real-world equivalent, such as cliffs or oceans. While Minecraft is based on landforms found on earth, impossible formations, such as floating islands, can be found throughout the Overworld.

Navigating the Overworld

Main article: Tutorials/Navigation

The Overworld can be navigated by use of the position of the sun and the moon, and the movement of the clouds and the stars. All of these rise in the east and go west.

Tools used for navigating the Overworld include the Compass and Map. The compass points to the world spawn point (sleeping in a bed does not change the compass operation), and the Map displays an area around where it was made, and shows an overview at various scales depending on its zoom factor. In the Nether and The End, maps are much less useful.

The F3 key toggles a debug console which shows the player their absolute coordinates, where the X and Z coordinates show longitude and latitude, and the Y coordinate shows height, where Y=63 corresponds to sea level. The 'f' value indicates the direction the player is facing.

Day and night

Main article: Day-night cycle

The Overworld is the only dimension with a day/night cycle. During the daytime, the sun acts as a light source. This light is strong enough to kill Zombies, and Skeletons, make Endermen teleport away from the player and also makes Spiders neutral. The only mobs that survive and stay hostile in the daylight are creepers and slimes. At night time the moon is the only natural light source. However, it provides little light, allowing hostile mobs to spawn.

Far Lands

File:Edge of the World.jpg

Difference between >30,000,000 and <30,000,000.

Main article: Far Lands

The Far Lands used to be an area that formed the "edge" of the "infinite" map, but was later removed from a patch on Beta 1.8 due to the change in the terrain generation code. When players made it to the Far Lands, they experienced an excessive amount of lag and the world became severely distorted.

According to Notch, this distortion could be fixed, but since no one was likely to make it to the Far Lands without some form of cheating, he says that he was likely not going to fix it.

In Beta 1.8, instead of a distorted land, there is a seemingly endless ocean. Normal terrain only starts to generate beyond the actual edges of the world.

As of 1.7.2, the player can not go past 30,000,000 in any direction. This was added by placing an Invisible Bedrock-like wall at 30,000,000 blocks from the center of the map in each direction.

History

In addition to this, as new features get added, they will change Overworld generation.

This variation is called an "empty map". It does not show location markers. It is intended for cloning and zooming locator maps without having to consume an additional [[compass]] (thereby saving [[iron ingot]]s and [[redstone dust]]), but it can also be {{Control|use|text=activated}} and later converted to a locator map by combining it with a compass on an [[anvil]], [[crafting table]], or [[cartography table]].

A map can also be created using a single paper on a [[cartography table]] to create an empty map, or a paper with a compass for an empty locator map.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Starting map ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=1}}
When creating a new world {{in|bedrock}}, the player can enable the "Starting Map" option to spawn with an empty locator map in the hotbar. The map's zoom scale is 1:8. The map is updated only while the player holds it.

=== Trading ===
Novice-level cartographer [[Villager|villagers]] sell a single empty map for 7 [[Emerald|emeralds]] as their trades.

{{IN|java}}, cartographer villagers may give players with the [[Hero of the Village]] effect an empty map.

== Usage ==
{{See also|Tutorials/Mapping}}

=== Mapping ===

Crafting a map creates an empty map. The map is drawn for the first time when it is held and used (with ''{{control|use item}}''). This map can then be adjusted to different zoom levels. After conversion to a drawn map item, it starts to draw a top-down view of the player's surroundings, with North pointing to the top of the map. A pointed oval pointer indicates the player's position on the map, and moves in real-time as the player moves across the terrain shown on the map. The map does ''not'' center on the player when created, rather, the world is broken up into large invisible grid squares, and the map displays the area of whichever grid square it is in when it is first used. For example, if a player uses a new map in a certain grid square, and then moves a distance away and uses another fresh map but is still within the same grid square, both maps appear identical. To make a map that is not identical to the first one, the player would have to move outside of the edges of the first map (because then they would be in a new grid square). This way, no two maps of the same size can ever partially overlap and every map can display only a fixed area.

To record the world on a map, that specific map must be held in the player's hands while the player moves around the world. The world is recorded as-is during exploration, meaning that if the world is modified, a player must revisit the area while holding the map to update the map's view. Maps can also be [[Map#Cloning|cloned]]. If a player holds a map whose one or more clones are on display in item frames, updates are made on all clone-connected maps. 

Other players are displayed on the map only if they have a map in their inventory cloned from the one being looked at. When placing a map into an [[item frame]], the map displays with a green pointer shown at the location of the item frame. This is to help the player see where they are in relation to the area that the map is showing. If the player leaves a map in an item frame and views a clone of it, the green pointer remains in the spot of the framed copy. This can be used to set up waypoints. Unexplored areas are transparent, making the item frame visible.

When the player leaves the area shown on a specific map, the player pointer transforms into a white dot that moves on that map. The marker shrinks to a smaller white dot if the player is far from the map's center: the area is 320 by 320 blocks per scale factor. The dot moves along the edge of the map to show the relative location of the player. However {{in|bedrock}}, the pointer remains as an arrow but shrinks until the player is near the area shown on the map.

While maps in [[the Nether]] work, they show only the red-and-gray pattern, regardless of the blocks placed. The only useful function is finding where the player is in relation to placed framed maps, which show as green pointers.  Additionally, the player pointer rapidly spins and is not a good indicator of direction. Placing a [[banner]] in [[the Nether]] still shows it on the map as usual.  Having a smaller map image while riding a [[strider]] in the Nether can help one to see one's footing while traveling over [[lava]].

{{IN|java}}, when using a map from another dimension, the map shows the player's position and direction when they were last in the dimension of the map. {{IN|bedrock}}, however, the player can use maps from one dimension while in another dimension. For locator maps, the place marker changes color depending on the dimension that the player is currently in (white for the Overworld, red for [[the Nether]], and magenta for [[the End]]). An Overworld map in the Nether shows the player's corresponding location and direction in the Overworld.<ref name=multiverse>{{ytl|EpP1diZdEdI}}</ref> Similarly, a Nether Map in the Overworld shows the player's corresponding location in the Overworld, but the place marker spins, just like a Nether map in the Nether. An Overworld map in the End shows the world spawn.<ref name=multiverse/> A Nether map cannot be used in the End — the map appears, but the place marker is not shown anywhere — and similarly, an End map cannot be used in the Overworld or the Nether.

A player can make a large piece of pixel art (128×128) facing upward, center a map on it, and place that map in an [[item frame]] to create a custom picture. Locking is recommended. See [[Map item format#Map Pixel Art]] for details on the techniques.

Maps display as a mini-map when held in the off-hand, or if the off-hand slot is occupied; the map is full-sized only when held in the dominant hand with both hands free.

A map always positions itself facing towards North when placed horizontally within an item frame regardless of how the map is placed.

=== Map content ===
{{Main|Map item format}}

Maps consist of square pixels arranged like pixels in a 128×128 square pattern, with each pixel representing a square portion of land. {{IN|java}}, the [[Map item format#Color table|color of a map pixel]] generally matches the color of the most common [[opaque]] block in the corresponding area, as seen from the sky. 'Minority blocks' in the target area have no effect on the color of the pixel, thus small features tend to be undetectable on zoomed-out maps.

{{IN|bedrock}}, the [[Map item format#Color table|color of a map pixel]] instead matches the single top-most opaque block in a grid sized by the map magnification pixel size (see the table in the "Player marker and pointer" section below). For example, a 3/4 magnification map has a pixel size of 8x8 blocks; this means the map will read only the top-most opaque blocks at the 0,0 coordinate, the 8,0 coordinate, the 0,8 coordinate, etcetera, ignoring all other blocks in the area. This means that {{in|bedrock}}, map pixel art requires only one block per pixel regardless of map magnification.

{{IN|bedrock}}, grass, foliage and water colors that are biome-dependent are represented accurately on a map.

Maps also show ground up to about 15 blocks below the surface of the water in oceans as slightly lighter blue, to show where the ground rises. This is not true with land above water. Higher elevations in the world mean lighter colors on the map. The map records the surface even as the player moves below the surface.

A standard map represents 128x128 blocks (1 block per pixel, 8x8 [[chunks]]) but maps can be zoomed-out to represent up to 2048x2048 blocks (16 square blocks per pixel, 128x128 [[chunks]]).

Some relevant distances: 64 blocks (4 chunks) is the update radius from a player in the Overworld and the End. However, it is half this (32 blocks) in the Nether. Also, 1024 blocks is the minimum Overworld distance from a [[nether portal]], at which players can build another portal and expect to reach a new location in the Nether. This is the distance across a 1:8 map, and also from a 1:16 map's center to its edge.

=== Player marker and pointer ===
{{IN|java}}, every map contains a marker that marks the position of the player, and points in the same direction as the player. When a player moves out of a map, a big white dot appears and moves relative to the player's position. The pointer either disappears when the player moves away a certain distance from the border of the map or, in case of [[explorer map]]s, the big white dot changes to a smaller white dot. The distance required for the small white dot to appear(explorer maps) or for the big dot to vanish (normal maps) changes with the scaling of the map.
* '''Level 0/4 :''' 128×128 blocks (each map pixel represents 1 block)
* '''Level 1/4 :''' 256×256 blocks (2×2 blocks per map pixel)

* '''Level 4/4 :'''  2048×2048 blocks  (16×16 blocks per map pixel)
{{IN|bedrock}}, a map can be crafted with or without this marker, and a map without a position marker can add one later by adding a compass to the map.  When a map is crafted without a compass, it's simply called an "empty map", but when crafted with a compass, it's called an "empty locator map". The marker also turns red if the player enters the Nether with an Overworld map and shows the player's Overworld location relative to the Nether location. A map created in the End has a purple marker showing the player's location. If an Overworld map is used in the End, a magenta dot appears on the player's spawn point.{{/BE|position}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, a cartography table can also be used to add a pointer to create a locator map or empty locator map. This can be done by adding a compass to paper, or to an empty map or map.

=== Zooming out ===
[[File:Cartography table UI zoom.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being zoomed out.]]

A [[cartography table]] can also be used to zoom out, taking only one piece of paper per zoom level.

A blank map can not be zoomed out. A map has to have something already marked on it for the zooming to be possible.

Maps are always aligned to a grid at all zoom levels. That means zooming out any different map in a specific area covered by that map always has the same center. As such, maps are aligned by map width (1024 blocks for a level 3 maps) minus 64. A level 3 map generated at spawn covers X and Z coordinates from -64 to 959. All maps generated in this area zoom out to the same coordinates, guaranteeing that they are always 'aligned' on a map wall. For a zoomed-out map to cover a new area, it must start with a base (level 0) map that is in that area.

At zoom level 0, a map created on the point (0,0) has (0,0) at the center of the map. At higher zoom levels of the same map, the coordinate (0,0) is in the top left square of the map.

{{IN|java}}, zoom level can be seen on a map by turning on Advanced Tooltips (a [[Debug screen#More debug keys|debug screen]] option that can be toggled by using the key combination {{key|F3+H}}). The tooltip of the map then shows the zoom level, scaling factors, and map ID.

=== Cloning ===
[[File:Cartography table UI clone.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|Java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being cloned.]]

A mix of empty maps and empty locator maps may be used. Whether the cloned maps show position markers is dependent only on the input map.

A [[cartography table]] can also be used to clone a map.

The parts of the world that have already been explored and mapped are copied, and newly explored areas appear on both instances. If one of the maps is later zoomed out, then the maps lose their connection to each other and function as completely separate maps that have to be individually filled by exploring.

In Creative mode, a map in an item frame may be cloned by using {{control|pick block}} on it, as long as that map is not also in the player's inventory.

It doesn't matter if the map to be cloned is at a higher zoom level (made of more paper) than the blank map. Upon copying the map, both resulting maps have the same magnification as the starting map.

{{/BE|clone}}

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Map, Empty Map}}

=== Marking points ===
{{IN|java}} the player has the ability to mark spots on a map. To do this, {{control|use}} a map on a placed-down [[banner]], and the spot of the banner gets marked on the map. The mark takes the color of whatever the base color is for the banner, and if the banner has a name, the mark shows that name. Banner marks on a map are always oriented with their top facing north, regardless of the banner's actual orientation. If the banner is destroyed, the mark of the banner remains at first, but if the player gets closer to where the banner previously was, it disappears as the area is updated on the map.

If a map is mounted on an item frame and is within the area it depicts, the mounted map displays its current location with a green indicator rotated to match its orientation.

[[File:Map Marker Bedrock on Item frame.png|thumb|181x181px|{{IN|bedrock}} this is what a map lying on an item frame looks like, while showing markers.]]
{{IN|bedrock}} the player can place copies of locator maps in [[item frame]]s in order to create a land mark. The marker is a green dot that resembles the shape of the player's marker, but in green color. The position the marker points at depends on the direction the item frame is facing. It is worth noting that the markers work only on copies of the same map. Other maps of the same area do not show the existing markers that the player(s) had placed.

If a player has a cloned map in their inventory, their pointer appears white when viewed on the same map held by another player. Hence, if all players have the same cloned map in their inventory, all markers would appear white when the clone map is viewed.

===Locking===
[[File:Cartography table UI lock.png|thumb|300px|{{IN|Java}}, cartography table's UI, showing the map is being locked.]]

Maps can be locked when using a [[glass pane]] in a [[cartography table]]. This creates a new map containing the same data and locks it. All copies of this new map are also locked. A locked map never changes, even when the depicted terrain changes. {{IN|Be}}, locked maps have a unique texture.

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Use of the {{key|F1}} key can allow the player to hold a map without blocking their view at all.
* In ''Java Edition'', a map created using {{cmd|give}} can be any map by using the Map parameter to specify the map number desired. E.g. {{cmd|give [player] minecraft:filled_map{map:5<nowiki>}}} gives the specified player map_5. If no data value is supplied it defaults to map_0. If map_0 has not ever been crafted, it is centered on x=0, z=0.
* The maps are stored separately as their own data (<code>.dat</code>) file as <code>map_x.dat</code> with (x) being the map number, see [[map item format]] for more info. By manipulating this number, players can organize their maps to suit them, or if they accidentally create a map in the same location, they can delete their extra map so as to save the number they make.
* Certain programs can be used to make customized maps with images or text on them instead of actual maps, many people use these in adventure maps to show pictures or to tell a story.
* Since all copies of a map are links to the same file, copying an unfinished map keeps it synchronized with the copy as the player fills it in. Thus, a copy stored in a chest can act as a remote backup.
* A map that is in an item frame does not update itself until a player picks it up, lets it reload, and places it back again. However, if a player holds a clone of the map, both maps update.
* Filled maps are the only items that make 90 degree rotations in item frames, and also the only items that can expand the item frame into full block wide.
* On [[Legacy Console Edition]], the player always spawns with a map in their inventory after creating a world. This was later added to Bedrock Edition as an optional feature in the world creation menu.
* Maps on Legacy Console Edition always show the player's current coordinates, as a substitute for the optional [[Coordinates|coordinate display]] in other editions.
* A map cannot be created on [[New Nintendo 3DS Edition]]. Instead, the map is always displayed on the bottom screen along with the coordinates. Biome colors do not appear on maps.

'''Fire charges''' are items that can be {{control|used}} as a single-use version of a [[flint and steel]] or shot as a [[small fireball]] from a [[dispenser]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|fire-charge}}

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Blaze Powder
|Coal; Charcoal
|Gunpowder
|Output= Fire Charge, 3
|type= Miscellaneous
}}

=== Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 1 fire charge when given a [[gold ingot]].

== Usage ==
[[File:Natural Fire Charge.png|200px|thumb|Dispensing Fire Charge]]

Fire charges can be used as ammunition for [[dispenser]]s, or as a substitute for [[flint and steel]].

When used, it instantly places a [[fire]], similar to flint and steel. The fire charge is consumed in the process. It can prime [[TNT]], light [[Nether portal|nether portals]], [[Campfire|campfires]], [[Candle|candles]], [[Cake|cakes with candles]] and [[creeper]]s{{only|JE}} like flint and steel.

When a fire charge is fired from a dispenser, it shoots a [[small fireball]].

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

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

If there is a lava source above the [[pointed dripstone]] stalactite, there is a {{frac|15|256}} (~5.9%) chance for it to completely fill an empty cauldron within 10 blocks under the tip with lava after a [[random tick]]. This lava can then be scooped with a bucket, making it a renewable resource.

==Usage==
A lava bucket can be used to place down lava sources with the {{key|Use Item}} button. Doing so gives the player the bucket back. Lava buckets can be used to replace some transparent, non-full blocks such as [[tall grass]] and [[water]], both flowing and sources.

{{IN|java}}, lava buckets can be used to break [[Nether Portal (block)|Nether portal blocks]] by placing the lava on the side of a block next to the portal block.

=== Smelting ===
A lava bucket can be used as an efficient [[fuel]]. It has the longest burning value of 1000 seconds, compared to 800 seconds for a [[coal block]] (a lava bucket smelts 100 items, and a coal block smelts 80). After smelting starts, the lava bucket turns into an empty bucket.

=== Trading ===
{{IN|bedrock}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers buy a lava bucket for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

{{IN|java}}, journeyman-level armorer villagers have a 40% chance of offering to buy a lava bucket for one emerald.

=== Cauldrons === 
A lava bucket can be used to fill a [[cauldron]] with lava. The lava damages any entity standing inside the cauldron, unless the entity is immune to fire damage.<!-- ex: nether mobs--> Flowing water or waterlogging does not affect the lava in the cauldron.

'''Apples''' are [[food]] items that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Block loot ===

Oak and dark oak [[leaves]] have 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}) chance of dropping an apple when decayed or broken, but not if burned. Breaking leaves with a [[tool]] enchanted with the [[Fortune]] enchantment increases the chances of dropping an apple: 0.556% ({{frac|1|180}}) with Fortune I, 0.625% ({{frac|1|160}}) with Fortune II, and 0.833% ({{frac|1|120}}) with Fortune III.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|apple}}

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level [[Trading#Farmer|farmer]] [[Villager|villagers]] have a 50% ({{frac|1|2}}){{only|bedrock}} or 66.7% ({{frac|2|3}}){{only|java}} chance of selling 4 apples as part of their trades.

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

To eat an apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|4}} [[hunger]] and 2.4 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

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

=== Composting ===
Placing an apple into a [[composter]] has a 65% ({{frac|13|20}}) chance of raising the compost level by 1.

'''Cooked cod''' is a food item obtained by cooking [[raw cod]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
====Cod====
[[Cod]] always drops 1 [[Raw Cod|raw cod]] when killed, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-212795||Salmon & Fish mobs are not affected by Looting}}</ref> If it is killed while on [[fire]], it drops 1 cooked cod instead.
====Dolphins ====
When killed, [[Dolphin|dolphins]] drop 0–1 raw cod. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0-4 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked cod instead.
====Guardians and elder guardians====
[[Guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s have a 40% and 50% chance, respectively, to drop raw cod when killed. {{IN|java}}, cooked cod is dropped if a guardian is on fire when killed.

Guardians and elder guardians also drop a 2.5% chance to drop a random fish, with 60% of them being raw cod, which drops as cooked if the guardian was on fire. The chance of getting the fish drop is increased by 1% per level with [[Looting]] (for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III), but the type of fish is not affected.
====Polar bears====
[[Polar bear]]s have a 75% chance of dropping 0–2 raw cod when killed. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked cod instead.
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|cooked-cod}}

===Cooking===

Cooked cod can be obtained by cooking [[raw cod]] in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or [[campfire]]. 

{{smelting|Raw Cod|Cooked Cod|0,35}}

===Trading===

Novice-level Fisherman [[Villager|villagers]] have a 50% chance to sell 6 cooked cod for 6 raw cod and 1 [[emerald]].

== Usage ==

=== Food ===

To eat cooked cod, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|5}} [[hunger]] and 6 hunger [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Wolves ===

{{IN|Bedrock}}, cooked cod can be used to feed a wolf not at full health, healing by {{hp|5|mob=1}}. However, unlike other wolf food, cooked cod cannot be used to speed up the growth of baby wolves nor used to breed them.

The '''Footprint''' was a joke item from [[Java Edition 20w14∞]], found only in the {{code|missing}} dimension.

== Appearance ==
This item is semi-transparent with a grey colour scheme.

== Obtaining ==

=== Dimension ===
Footprints were obtained only from a chest in the {{Code|missing}} dimension. Only existing in 2020 April fools snapshot 20w14∞, it cannot exist in any non-April Fool's joke versions and April Fool's joke versions before or after 20w14∞. There is a maximum of 2 footprints that can be obtained legitimately in any given world.

=== Cheats/Creative Mode ===
Despite these footprints not being available in the creative inventory, it is still possible to acquire them via the command {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:footprint <amount>}} or duplicating them by holding down middle-click whilst in creative mode.

== Usage ==
As of snapshot 20w14∞, this item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. This item can be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame, and it has a stack limit of 64.

'''Banners''' are tall decorative [[blocks]], featuring a field that is highly customizable using [[dye]]s and [[banner pattern]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

Banners can be broken with or without a [[tool]], but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Banners|Axe}}

A banner also breaks and drops itself as an [[Item (entity)|item]] if the block the banner is attached to is moved, removed, or destroyed.

=== Trading ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, expert-level cartographer and shepherd villagers both offer to sell one of 16 blank banners for 3 emeralds as part of their trades.

=== Mob loot ===

[[Illager]]s that spawn carrying an ominous banner{{only|java|short=1}} / illager banner{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}} always drop it upon death.

== Usage ==

[[File:Standing banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping block on a banner.]]
[[File:Wall banner with block.png|thumb|upright|Overlapping on a wall mounted banner.]]

There are 16 colored blank banners, and numerous patterns each available in each of the 16 colors. A banner can feature up to 6 different patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing water.

Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground facing in any direction, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location. 

Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so [[entities]] can move through them.

Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a banner for floor banners, or the bottom half of wall banners.

When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block, and it is possible to place it so it appears half buried.

Banners can also be placed in [[item frame]]s, where they simply appear as their item model.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around banners. {{IN|bedrock}}, banners can be [[waterlogged]].

<gallery>
File:Wall banner with water below.png| Water can be placed below wall banners
File:Water flowing around banner.png| Water flows around a banner on the ground
</gallery>

Lava can create [[fire]] in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods). Banners also cannot be moved by [[piston]]s.

If a banner is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when a pattern is added, but not when a pattern is removed.

=== Helmet ===
{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[Helmet|head slot]] in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|java|short=1}}.

=== Chestplate ===
{{exclusive|bedrock|section=13}}
While a banner cannot be equipped in the [[chestplate]] slot in Survival mode, equipping it using NBT editors causes it to appear on top of the player. This is how [[raid captain]]s wear banners{{only|bedrock|education|short=1}}.

</gallery>

=== Crafting ingredient ===

[[Shield]]s can have patterns applied to them using banners. The shield pattern has a smaller resolution than the banner pattern, causing them to look different or offset. Banners that have more than six patterns, such as Ominous Banners or banners obtained through inventory editors, will be reduced to six patterns on the shield.

|B2link=Banner
|type=Combat
|description=Applies the banner pattern to the shield. The banner is consumed.<br>The shield must have no pre-existing patterns.<br>Does not change existing durability or enchantments on the shield.
}}

=== Copying ===

Banners can be copied with a blank banner to make multiple identical banners. Banners with more than 6 patterns applied using commands cannot be copied in this manner.

}}

=== Map marker ===
[[File:Banner marked map.png|alt=All banners marked on a map, alongside a named banner.|thumb|right|How every banner appears {{IN|java}} on a map, including named banners.]]

{{exclusive|java|section=13}}
{{IN|java}}, {{control|using}} on a standing banner with a [[map]] selected places a marker of the banner's position on the selected map, and {{control|using}} on the banner again removes the marker. Note that wall banners cannot serve as map markers. The marker has the same color as the banner's base without decorations. The marker is removed if the banner is destroyed unless the map is locked using a [[cartography table]]. If the banner is renamed, the name appears below the marker.

=== Patterns ===
{{see also|Banner/Patterns|title1=List of patterned banners}}
[[File:Spawned-in Banner.png|thumb|100px|Example of a banner with more than 6 patterns, a result of using the {{cmd|give}} command.]]

A banner may have up to six layers of patterns, which are overlaid with the last-crafted on top. A banner can have up to 16 layers of patterns with the use of commands. The total number of unique banners is approximately 2.3x10^16 (or 23 quadrillion).

Any color banner can be used; the pattern overlays the color. {{IN|java}}, a [[loom]] is used to make patterns. However, {{in|bedrock}}, the patterns can be made in a [[loom]] or a [[crafting table]].

A banner can have more than six layers of patterns through the commands <code>/[[Commands/give|give]]</code>, <code>/[[Commands/setblock|setblock]]</code> or <code>/[[Commands/fill|fill]]</code>. This only works in ''Java Edition'', as Bedrock Edition doesn't have any NBT commands. Here is an example of a mining banner with seven different patterns. There is specific codes for the [[Banner#Item data:~:text=white-,Item,-In Java Edition|colors]] and [[Banner/Patterns|patterns]] that you have to input.

=== Renaming ===
{{IN|java}}, a banner can be given a custom name that remains as the banner is placed and retrieved. The player can use an [[anvil]] to rename the banner item, or may change the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command on the banner block.

=== Fuel ===
Banners can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per banner.

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

== Issues ==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* With 16 blank banners, 38 patterns of 16 colors each (608 uniquely-colored patterns), and 0 to 6 patterns per banner, the number of uniquely crafted banners is 16 × (608<sup>0</sup> + 608<sup>1</sup> + 608<sup>2</sup> + 608<sup>3</sup> + 608<sup>4</sup> + 608<sup>5</sup> + 608<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 809 quadrillion - 809 with 15 zeros (809,573,616,779,945,488). The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns, or the entire banner, or be duplicated due to the symmetric set of patterns (e.g. field or (yellow) + per pale azure (blue) = field azure + per pale or inverted).
** Not 38 patterns are available on BE, but 40 patterns of 16 colors each (640 uniquely-colored patterns), so the number is even greater. 16 × (640<sup>0</sup> + 640<sup>1</sup> + 640<sup>2</sup> + 640<sup>3</sup> + 640<sup>4</sup> + 640<sup>5</sup> + 640<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 1 quintillion - 1 with 18 zeros (1,101,232,303,249,827,856). This increases the number by almost 1.4 times, or almost 292 quadrillion, despite the addition of only 2 patterns.
* If a banner has over 6 patterns, only the six bottom-most patterns are displayed when hovered over in the [[inventory]].
* The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for [[wiktionary:mojäng|mojäng]]. If [[wikipedia:Google Translate|Google Translate]] is used, it translates to "thingys" or "contraption".
** In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called ''mojäng''.
* [[List of block textures#Banner Textures|Banner textures]] are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner.
** There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner.
** The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side.
** Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent.
* Banners that have the purple NBT+ line in the bottom (obtained by holding Ctrl and middle-clicking the banner, which also copies the NBT [[tag]] of anything that the player points their crosshair to) actually have no difference with the base banner obtained by middle click.
*The Illager Banner in Bedrock Edition is available as a separate item but is just a second variant of the white banner.
**Standard variant of white banner is set to type 0.
**Illager variant is set to type 1.

{{Item

}}
A '''name tag''' is an [[item]] used to name [[mob]]s in the world and prevent them from despawning naturally.

== Obtaining ==

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|name-tag}}

=== Fishing ===

Name tags can be caught from [[fishing]] as part of the treasure category with a {{frac|1|6}} chance after the 5% chance of being a treasure catch. The chance of catching treasure increases with the [[Luck of the Sea]] enchantment.

=== Trading ===

Master-level librarian [[villagers]] offer to sell a name tag for 20 [[emerald]]s as one of their available trades.

== Usage ==

To use a name tag, it must first be renamed with an [[anvil]], costing 1 [[experience]] level. 

If it is not renamed, it has no effect when used on a mob. After the name tag is renamed, the player can {{control|use}} it on a mob to give it the name given to the name tag from the anvil. Mobs and name tags can be renamed any number of times. Name tags with the same name are stackable. 

Once a mob is named, it keeps its name, and the name tag is consumed.

When a mob is named, it is excluded from the mob cap count.

Effects on various mobs:
* A named [[silverfish]] that goes into a block appears to lose its name because it is replaced by a newly generated unnamed silverfish when the block is broken.
* A baby (animal or villager) keeps its name when becoming an adult.
** A named [[villager]] keeps its name when transformed into a [[Zombie Villager|zombie villager]].
** A named zombie villager keeps its name when cured.
* [[Wandering Trader|Wandering trader]]s still despawn even if they are named, or in a [[minecart]] or [[boat]].
* A named [[wither]]'s boss bar displays its name instead of "Wither".
* Naming an [[ender dragon]] with commands also displays the name in the boss bar.

=== Limitations ===

Any mob can be named except for the [[ender dragon]] and [[player]]s.

A name tag can rename an [[armor stand]], though it does not show the nameplate above its head until <code>CustomNameVisible:1b</code> is set as an extra step.

{{control|Using|use}} a name tag on a villager renames the villager instead of opening the trading interface. A saddled pig is renamed instead of being ridden. Using a name tag on any other mob that can be interacted with performs the {{control|use}} action instead of being named. These mobs can be renamed if the player uses the name tag while crouching or standing in a [[nether portal]] because the portal suppresses the {{control|use}} action.

Once a name tag is used on a mob, it is impossible to remove the name of that mob without the use of commands or external modifications.

=== Behavior ===

Renamed mobs have their name displayed over their head in the same fashion as a mob named through a renamed [[spawn egg]]. Their names can be seen only if they are aimed at from four or fewer blocks away.

Mobs that are named using the name tag never despawn in the world, similar to tamed mobs.<ref>{{tweet|dinnerbone|327485109940916226}}</ref> The exceptions are [[wandering trader]]s or if the mob is hostile and the difficulty is switched to "[[Peaceful]]", causing any hostile mobs or any named hostile mobs to despawn immediately. 

If a renamed mob kills a player, the custom name is used in the death message in place of the mob type name. For instance, if a vindicator named "Johnny" kills a player, the death message is "Player was slain by Johnny". 

A renamed [[wither]] also has a renamed health bar, and the boss bar doesn't regenerate{{verify}}.

=== Easter eggs ===

* Any mob that receives the name "[[Easter eggs#Upside-down mobs|Dinnerbone]]" or "[[Easter eggs#Upside-down mobs|Grumm]]" is rendered upside down. This even includes the player in early versions of Bedrock Edition if the username is set to either of these and you are not signed into Xbox Live.
* Naming a [[sheep]] "[[Easter eggs#Jeb sheep|jeb_]]" causes its wool to fade between the dye colors, producing a rainbow effect. The [[wool]] that drops when the sheep is [[shear]]ed or killed is the original color of the sheep before the sheep was named.
* Naming a [[rabbit]] "[[Rabbit#Toast|Toast]]" causes it to have a special memorial skin of user xyzen420's girlfriend's [http://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/27hjog/to_themogminer_my_bunny_is_missing_please_help_me/ missing rabbit].
* Naming a [[vindicator]] "Johnny" causes it to be aggressive and attack all [[mob]]s including the wither (except [[ghast]]s and other [[illager]]s). The hostility even extends to [[Ravager|ravagers]] in [[Java Edition|''Java Edition'']], as the "Johnny" vindicator can also attack the ravager while it's riding it.

* A stack of up to 64 name tags can be renamed at once. The cost is 1 [[experience]] level per stack, regardless of how many name tags were stacked.
* To name a [[mob]] “Name Tag” the player must give the name tag a random name, then rename it back to “Name Tag”.
* A [[villager]] with a name tag turned into a [[zombie villager]] by a [[zombie]] with a name tag does not despawn, but a villager with a name tag turned into a zombie by a zombie without a name tag does despawn.
* It is impossible to have a rainbow [[sheep]] upside-down, because it is impossible for it to be named “Jeb_” and “Dinnerbone” at the same time.

'''Glow berries''' are a [[food]] [[item]] obtained from cave vines and can be used to plant them.

'''Cave vines''' are a climbable, [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] plant that hangs off ceilings and grows glow berries. Cave vines with glow berries produce [[light]] and drop glow berries when broken or harvested. Cave vines with no glow berries will not drop anything.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===
Cave vines can be found in [[lush caves]], hanging from cave ceilings.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|glow-berries}}

=== Post-generation ===
Glow berries can be collected from a cave vine by {{control|using}} or {{control|breaking}} the vine. This yields one glow berry when the vine is bearing them and nothing when it is not.  A cave vine also breaks if [[water]] runs over its location or if a [[piston]] extends or pushes a block into its location. 

{{IN|bedrock}}, using a tool with [[Silk Touch]] on cave vines always yields a glow berry, even if the vine appears empty.

[[Fortune]] has no effect on the number of glow berries dropped.

== Usage ==
=== Placement ===
Glow berries can be placed on and grown from the bottom of most blocks. They have no specific lighting requirements. When placed, they can be of any length.

=== Growth ===
Placing glow berries on the bottom of a block creates a cave vine that grows downward one block at a time as long as [[air]] is beneath it and its maximum height (2 to 26 blocks) has not been reached. Each newly-grown cave vine block has a 1 in 9 chance of bearing glow berries.  Only this tip can ever naturally grow them.{{only|JE}}{{More info|exact growth rate and chance to bear glow berries}}

{{control|Using}} [[bone meal]] on a cave vine produces glow berries if the vine was not bearing any.

{{IN|Java}}, cave vines stop growing if [[shears]] are {{control|used}} on the tip.

{{IN|bedrock}}, if placing glow berries in the Nether, cave vines are able to grow and produces glow berries.

=== Food ===
To eat glow berries, 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]] points, like [[sweet berries]].

=== Light ===
When bearing glow berries, cave vines give off a [[light]] level of 14.

=== Composting ===
Placing glow berries into a [[composter]] by {{control|using}} them on it has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Breeding ===
Glow berries can be fed to [[fox]]es to [[breeding|breed]] them. Foxes are similar to cats when being fed as a wild animal; a sudden movement by the player may cause the fox to flee even if the player holds glow berries. The resulting baby fox trusts the [[player]] and does not flee.

Glow berries can be {{control|used}} on baby foxes to reduce the time until they grow by 10%.

'''Wheat seeds''' ({{in|java}}) or '''seeds''' ({{in|bedrock}}) are [[item]]s obtained by breaking [[grass]], or more abundantly harvested from wheat crops, and are used to plant them.

'''Wheat crops''' are planted in [[farmland]] and used to grow [[wheat]] and wheat seeds. 

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===
Harvesting fully-grown [[wheat]] [[crops]] yields from 1 to 4 seeds per crop harvested (about {{frac|2|5|7}} seeds/crop harvested on average).

In '''Bedrock edition''' yields are 0-3.[https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-169402]<sup><nowiki>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-169402</sup>

Wheat seeds can be obtained from breaking all variants of [[grass]], which yields 0 to 1 seed. If harvested with a [[Fortune]] enchanted tool the drop rate from grass is increased.

The looting is calculated by a binomial distribution: a drop is attempted three times with a success rate of around 57% to yield the 0–3 drops. Each level of Fortune enchantment increases the number of attempts by one.

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

{| class="wikitable"
! Village style !! Chance
|-
| {{EnvSprite|savanna-village}} Savanna || 80%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|desert-village}} Desert || 70%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|taiga-village}} Taiga || 60%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|plains-village}} Plains || 50%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|snowy-village}} Snowy || 20%
|}

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|wheat-seeds}}

=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s sell wheat seeds for an [[emerald]].

=== Villager gifts ===
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
Nitwit and unemployed [[villager]]s throw wheat seeds at players under the [[Hero of the Village]] effect.

== Usage ==

=== Crop ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1=Crop Farming}}

[[File:Crop states.png|thumb|Different stages of crop growth.]]

Wheat seeds can be placed on [[farmland]] by right-clicking, where they grow through eight stages. When left alone, wheat seeds planted on farmland grow to become wheat crops, which can be harvested by the player. Planted seeds require a light level of 9 or greater to continue growing. If the light level is 7 or below, the crops instantly un-plant themselves ("pop off"). It is not possible to plant seeds if the light level is too low.

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

Breaking the final stage produces 1 to 4 wheat seeds (or more with Fortune) and 1 [[wheat]]. If they are harvested early, they drop 1 seed without any wheat. Crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops. 

=== Breeding ===
Like other seeds, wheat seeds can be used to breed [[chicken]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of baby chickens by 10%. Chickens also follow a player holding wheat seeds.

=== Taming ===
Like other seeds, wheat seeds can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.

=== Composting ===
Placing wheat seeds into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1. A stack of wheat seeds yields an average of 2.74 [[bonemeal]].

{{Item

}}

'''Honeycombs''' are [[item]]s obtained from [[bee nest]]s and beehives.

== Obtaining ==
{{See also|Tutorials/Honey farming}}
When a bee nest or beehive at {{cd|honey_level}} 5 is [[shear]]ed, it drops 3 honeycombs and angers any [[bee]]s inside, causing them to attack. Having a lit [[campfire]] or lighting a [[fire]] underneath the nest or hive prevents the bees from becoming hostile.

A [[dispenser]] with [[shears]] inside can be used to shear the nest or hive without angering the bees. A honeycomb item drops out after using the shears.

== Usage ==

=== Signs ===

{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[sign]] or a hanging sign prevents the sign from being edited.

=== Waxing ===
{{Control|Using}} a honeycomb on a [[block of copper]] changes the block into its waxed variant, preventing oxidation of the copper.

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

|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"
|+

![[Enchanting|Method]]
|-
|[[Unbreaking]]

A '''milk bucket'''{{fn|Known as '''Milk Bucket''' {{in|java}} and '''Milk''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} is a [[drink]] obtained from {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[bucket]] on [[cow]]s, [[mooshroom]]s and [[goat]]s that can be consumed to clear all [[Effect|effects]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Harvesting ===
Milk buckets can be obtained from [[cow]]s, [[mooshroom]]s, and [[goat]]s by pressing {{control|use}} while looking at them with an empty [[bucket]].

=== Mob loot ===
A milk bucket has a chance of dropping from a [[wandering trader]], if the trader is killed while holding it.{{only|java}}

== Usage ==

Holding {{control|use}} with a milk bucket starts the drinking sound and animation. {{IN|java}}, the animation is shown only in first-person camera mode.

When consumed, milk immediately removes all status [[effect]]s from the [[player]]. [[Fire]] is not a status effect; therefore, drinking milk doesn't extinguish a burning player.

The benefits of area status effects granted by [[beacon]]s and [[Conduit Power|conduit power]] are restored almost immediately in Bedrock Edition and after a few seconds in ''Java Edition''.

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

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

== Obtaining ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Usage ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==

* The stick is used in 49 recipes in ''Java Edition'', and 50 recipes in ''Bedrock Edition'', more than any other item in the game. [[Iron ingot]] takes second place with 35 recipes, and [[planks]] take third place with 34 recipes.
* To craft each recipe once, a player would need 111 sticks, including 1 for the [[redstone torch]] in an [[activator rail]], while using the extra tripwire hook for the [[crossbow]]. This would require 56 [[planks]], or 14 [[logs]], for the sticks, and an extra 29 planks for the [[tool|wooden tools]], [[tripwire hook]], [[signs]], [[fences]], [[fence gate]], [[grindstone]], and slabs for the [[barrel]]. This means that the player needs a total of 85 planks, or 22 logs, plus 6 more for the [[campfire]] and [[soul campfire]].

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.

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

== Obtaining ==

=== Mining ===
Copper ore and deepslate copper ore mined with a [[stone pickaxe]] or better drops 2–5 units of raw copper. If the pickaxe is enchanted with [[Fortune]], it can drop extra raw copper, allowing for a maximum of 20 units per ore block with Fortune III, or an average of 7.7 units of raw copper per ore block. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with [[Silk Touch]], it drops the ore block instead.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

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

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

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A1= Stick
|B1= Stick
|C1= Stick  
|B2= Stick
|A3= Stick
|B3= Smooth Stone Slab
|C3= Stick
|Output= Armor Stand
|type=Decoration block
}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

;<nowiki>Below are the poses:

==Behavior==

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

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

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

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

The stand wobbles slightly when being hit by the player.

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

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

==Issues==
{{issue list}}

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

{{Item
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = No
}}

A '''copper horn''' was an [[item]] crafted from a [[goat horn]] and [[copper ingots]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
 |ignoreusage=1
 |A2=Copper Ingot
 |B2=Goat Horn
 |B3=Copper Ingot
 |C2=Copper Ingot
 |Output=Copper Horn
}}

=== Natural generation ===
Copper horns were found in pillager outpost chests.

== Usage ==
Copper horns were used to play sounds. They took one second to use and had a four second cooldown. There were ten variations of copper horns, and each of them played three different sounds: when looking up, crouching, or neither of those. In total, there were thirty different sounds that could be played using copper horns. The sound a copper horn plays based on multiple conditions, which are in order as follows:
* If crouching, the bass tune was played.
* Else, if looking up (by 45 degrees), the harmony tune was played.
* Else, the melody tune was played.

== Sounds ==
Sound names in the item tooltip are created using the harmony, melody, and bass sounds in that order.

== Trivia ==
* Copper horns were removed from the game as they didn't live up to the developers' design goals, and as such are no longer supported.<ref>{{cite|url=https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/5540500564365| title = Minecraft Beta & Preview - 1.19.0.24/25|website=feedback.minecraft.net|date=April 14, 2022}}</ref>
* This is the first item in {{el|be}} to have been completely removed instead of just made unobtainable. This is likely due to the fact it never made it out of [[experimental gameplay]].
** If a world that contained this item is loaded into a newer version, the horn will disappear upon loading.

==== 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]].

=== 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:

=== Blocking ===
{{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]]''.

== 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.

13w36aCave Generation was tweaked, making caves less dense and interconnected.[2]
New biomes were added and some old biomes were changed.
13w37aAn invisible barrier at 30,000,000 blocks was added. This removed the last remnants of the Far Lands.

Trivia

  • If someone made a 1:1 (1 block = 1 meter) scale version of the Earth, its area would be 510,000,000,000,000 blocks. Assuming the map is only one block deep and takes 1 byte/block, we get approximately 475,000GB, or 464TB.
  • 461 quadrillion (4.608x1017) blocks would fit in a Minecraft world assuming that it spreads from 30,000,000 to -30,000,000.
  • A Minecraft world is theoretically bigger than the earth, but in practice, an Earth-sized map would be large enough to overwhelm almost any consumer-grade computer. Indeed, nearly all structures within Minecraft, such as strongholds, villages, and mountains, are much smaller than a realistic version would be. The same applies even on larger scales such as biomes, landmasses, oceans, and the vertical space between bedrock and the "sky" (approximated by the build limit) .
