This article is about the light-emitting torch underwater. For the traditional torch that emits light above water, see Torch. For the blocks that generate naturally underwater, see Sea Pickle.
This page describes an education-related feature.
This feature is available only in Minecraft Education or when enabling the "Education" option in Bedrock Edition.
This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education.
An underwater torch is a non-solid block that emits light underwater.
Obtaining
Breaking
Unlike a normal torch, an underwater torch does not break if water occupies its space.
Like normal torches, an underwater torch breaks instantly and drops itself when broken using anything. Tools do not lose durability when breaking an underwater torch.
Underwater torches are also broken if pushed by a piston.
Crafting
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|
| Magnesium + Torch |
As with any torch, an underwater torch can be crafted using coal or charcoal. The player can also use a torch from the Creative inventory.[verify]
Usage
An underwater torch can be used exactly like a normal torch, only it can be underwater.
- Underwater torches can be placed on the top or the sides of most solid blocks, although some require sneaking (see placement for exceptions). Being non-solid, an underwater torch has no collision box.
- Gravity-affected blocks like sand and gravel do not fall if the block below them has an underwater torch on it, and they break if they fall onto an underwater torch.
Placement
In general, underwater torches can be placed only on solid, opaque, and full blocks; exceptions are listed below.
| Block name | Underwater torch placeable |
|---|---|
| Slab | Top of top-half slabs |
| Fence | Top only |
| Cobblestone Wall | Top only |
| Glass | Yes |
| Stained Glass | Yes |
| Hopper | Top only |
| Snow | Top of 8-layer thick snow |
| Soul Sand | Yes |
| Piston | Yes |
| Monster Spawner | Yes |
Light
Underwater torches emit a light level of 14. Underwater torches also melt snow layers and ice within 2 blocks (taxicab distance).
Sounds

'''Flint''' is a mineral obtained from [[gravel]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
When a block of [[gravel]] is mined, there is a 10% chance for a single piece of flint to drop instead of the [[gravel]] block. When mined with a [[Fortune]]-enchanted tool, this chance increases to 16% at Fortune I, 25% at Fortune II, and 100% at Fortune III. Gravel mined using a tool with [[Silk Touch]] or gravel that fell on a non-solid block never produces flint.
=== Trading ===
Novice-level [[Trading#Fletcher|fletcher]] [[villager]]s have a 50%{{only|bedrock}} or {{frac|2|3}}{{only|java}} chance to offer 10 pieces of flint for 10 blocks of gravel and an [[emerald]].
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|flint}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===

=== Trading ===
Apprentice-level fletcher villagers buy 26 flint for an emerald.
Apprentice-level leatherworker villagers have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to buy 26 flint for an emerald {{in|java}}, and always offer the trade {{in|bedrock}}.
Journeyman-level toolsmith villagers have a {{frac|2|5}} chance to buy 30 flint for one emerald in ''Java Edition'', and always offer the trade in Bedrock Edition.
Journeyman-level weaponsmith villagers buy 24 flint for an emerald.

A '''medicine''' is a type of [[potion]] that cures the specified [[effect]] instead of applying it.
== Obtaining ==
=== Brewing ===
Cures are brewed from awkward potions using different [[element]]s.{{only|bedrock|education}} These drinks remove the specified effect when drank, and cannot be modified into splash, lingering, extended or enhanced versions.

== Usage ==
Each type of medicine has an associated effect that it can cure (see {{slink||Brewing}} for details). Players can drink the medicine only if they have the corresponding effect. Drinking the medicine eliminates the effect. Although medicine does not resemble [[potion]]s, the player still gets the [[glass bottle]] back.

'''Bookshelves''' are [[blocks]] that improve [[enchanting|enchantments]] applied with an [[enchanting table]] when placed around one, up to a maximum of fifteen bookshelves, at the expense of [[Enchanting/Levels|level]] requirement.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Bookshelves can generate in village libraries and sometimes village houses.
[[Stronghold]]s may contain up to two libraries, each of which may be single-level or have an upper balcony. These feature some bookshelves arranged in pillars, and more bookshelves arranged in pillars in the walls. Single-level libraries contain 161 bookshelves, while libraries with balconies contain 233.
Bookshelves also naturally generate in certain [[woodland mansion]] rooms.
=== Breaking ===
Bookshelves can be broken fairly easily by hand, but can be broken faster by using an [[axe]]. In either case, they drop 3 books when broken, allowing the reconstruction of the bookshelf with the addition of six wood planks. When broken by an item that is [[enchanted]] with [[Silk Touch]], a bookshelf drops itself.

== Usage ==
=== Enchanting ===
{{main|Enchantment mechanics#Bookshelf placement}}
If an [[enchanting table]] is placed near a bookshelf, glyph [[particles]] fly from the bookshelf toward the enchanting table. Having bookshelves in the proper position near the table allows the table to apply higher-level enchantments.
=== Crafting ingredient ===

=== Fuel ===
Bookshelves can be used as a [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per block.
=== Villager ===
Librarian [[villager]]s can interact with bookshelves.
=== Note Blocks ===
Bookshelf can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds.

Trivia
- The crafting recipe refers to the fact that magnesium metal can burn in pure water vapor. Magnesium has a similar reaction with hot water, but it is slower and does not look like burning.
- If magnesium catches fire, water cannot be used to extinguish it. This is because magnesium reacts with hot water (and water vapor) to form explosive hydrogen gas.
