Desert wells are sandstone structures that generate in desert biomes.

Generation

Desert wells generate only in desert biomes. They have a 11000[JE only] or 1500[BE only] chance to be generated in any desert chunk, which makes them a rare sight. It is possible for a well to generate around a cactus. The well structure will still generate with the "Generate Structures" option disabled.

In Bedrock Edition desert well has a chance to generate in cluster between 16 block.

Desert well generation is capped at the coordinate Y-128. If desert terrain is extended higher than Y-128 (via add-on), no desert well will be generated.

Structure

Desert wells are built of sandstone blocks and slabs with a water source inside.

The '''ice bomb''' is an [[item]] that is used to freeze [[water]] into [[ice]].

== Usage ==

Ice bombs can be thrown by {{control|using}} them. They are affected by gravity.

Like with [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the [[hotbar]] by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again.

Ice bombs explode upon hitting most [[blocks]], including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but do not deal [[damage]], and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, their impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace [[mobs]] in ice under water.

While [[endermen]] teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs. 

Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in ice.

=== Mob loot ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Iron golem farming}}
[[Iron golem]]s drop 3-5 iron ingots upon death, regardless of the way they die. The looting enchantment does not increase the amount of iron ingots dropped.

[[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 iron ingots 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

== Usage ==

=== Crafting ingredient ===

=== Trading ===
Apprentice-level Armorer, Toolsmith, and Weaponsmith [[Villager|villagers]] buy 3 iron ingots for an [[emerald]] as their third trade.{{only|bedrock}}

Apprentice-level Armorer villagers have a 50% chance to buy 4 iron ingots for one emerald, and apprentice-level Toolsmith and Weaponsmith villagers always offer to buy 4 iron ingots for one emerald.{{only|java}}

=== Repairing ===

Iron ingots are the repair items for the iron [[tier]] and chainmail and iron [[armor material]]s, and thus can be used to [[item repair|repair]] the following items in an [[anvil]]:
* {{ItemLink|Chainmail Helmet}}
* {{ItemLink|Chainmail Chestplate}}
* {{ItemLink|Chainmail Leggings}}
* {{ItemLink|Chainmail Boots}}

=== Healing iron golems ===

{{control|Using}} an iron ingot on an [[iron golem]] restores its health by {{hp|25}}. 

=== Beacons ===

Iron ingots can be used to select powers from a [[beacon]]. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an iron ingot in the item slot. 

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

'''Redstone dust''' is a mineral that can transmit [[Redstone circuit#Power|redstone power]] as a wire when placed as a [[block]]. It is also used in [[crafting]] and [[brewing]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
{{see also|Redstone Ore#Natural generation}}
[[Redstone ore]] mined using an iron [[pickaxe]] or higher drops 4 or 5 redstone dust (or more with [[Fortune]], averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune III). If mined with [[Silk Touch]], the block drops itself instead of redstone dust.

=== Natural generation ===
15 lengths of redstone dust are naturally generated as part of the trap in each [[jungle pyramid]]. 5 lengths of redstone dust can be found in one type of jail cell room in a [[woodland mansion]]. In [[Ancient City|ancient cities]], multiple pieces of redstone dust can be found integrated into circuitry.

=== Breaking ===
Redstone dust can be broken instantly using any tool, or without a tool, and drops itself as an item.

Redstone dust is removed and drops as an item if:
* its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
* [[water]] or [[lava]] flows into its space
* a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space

=== Mob loot ===
[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–2 redstone dust upon death. This is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 redstone dust.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|redstone}}

=== Crafting ===
Redstone dust can be crafted from [[blocks of redstone]].
{{Crafting
|Block of Redstone
|Output=Redstone Dust,9
|type=Redstone
}}

=== Smelting ===
{{Smelting
|showname=1
|Redstone Ore; Deepslate Redstone Ore
|Redstone Dust
|0.7
}}

=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, novice-level cleric [[villager]]s sell two redstone dust for one [[emerald]].

{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level cleric villagers sell four redstone dust for one emerald.

=== Villager gifts ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Raid farming}}
{{IN|Java}}, when the player has the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect, clerics might throw that player a redstone dust as a gift.

Redstone dust is used for [[#Brewing ingredient|brewing]], [[#Crafting ingredient|crafting]], and in redstone circuits by placing it on the ground to create [[#Redstone component|redstone wire]]. It can also be used to power redstone components.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Redstone Dust}}

=== {{anchor|Redstone dust}} Redstone component ===
When placed in the world, redstone dust becomes a block of "redstone wire"{{Info needed|other blco? BE?}}, which can transmit [[Redstone circuit#Power|redstone power]].

=== Placement ===
[[File:Redstone wire as circuit component.png|Examples of redstone wire configuration. ''Top Left:'' Redstone wire connects diagonally vertically through non-opaque blocks. ''Top Right:'' Redstone wire does ''not'' connect diagonally vertically through opaque blocks. ''Center:'' Redstone wire gets darker as its power level drops, to a maximum of 15 blocks from a power source.|thumb]]
[[File:Redstone on Glowstone, Stairs, Slabs.png|Examples of redstone wire placements.|thumb]]
Redstone dust can be placed on [[opaque]] blocks as well as [[glowstone]], upside-down [[slab]]s, [[glass]], upside-down [[stairs]], and [[hopper]]s. It can also be placed on some transparent blocks; see [[Opacity/Placement]] for more information. It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands, which is not unintentional.<ref>{{bug|MC-182709}}</ref>

Redstone wire configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone [[Redstone components#Power components|power components]] and [[Redstone components#Transmission components|transmission component]] connection points. Redstone wire also configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone wire one block higher or lower – unless there is a solid opaque block above the lower redstone wire.

If there is only one such adjacent redstone component, redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}} line pointing both at the neighbor and away from it. If there are two or more such adjacent components, redstone wire connects them in the form of {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-upleft}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-t-up}}, or {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} as needed.

When there are no adjacent components, a single redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} plus sign, which can provide power in all four directions. By right-clicking it can be changed into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-dot}} dot, which does not provide power to any of the four directions.

{{IN|bedrock}}, redstone wire automatically configures itself to point toward adjacent blocks or [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]]. {{IN|java}}, it does not. If such a configuration is desired, the other neighbors of the redstone wire must be arranged to create it, i.e the redstone dust must be placed in a way that it would be pointed at the block’s location even if it were not there.

When redstone wire is reconfigured after placement, it does not update other redstone components around it of the change unless that reconfiguration also includes a change in power level or another component provides an update. This can create situations where a mechanism component remains activated when it shouldn't, or vice versa, until it receives an update from something else – a "feature" of redstone wire that can be used to make a [[BUD|block update detector]].

=== Behavior ===
{{Schematic|caption=

}}

Redstone wire can transmit power, which can be used to operate [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]] ([[door]]s, [[piston]]s, [[redstone lamp]]s, etc.).
Redstone wire can be "powered" by a number of methods:
* from an adjacent [[Redstone components#Power components|power component]] or a strongly-powered block
* from the output of a redstone repeater or redstone comparator
* from adjacent redstone wire. The powering dust can be a level higher or lower, but with restrictions:
** Redstone dust can be powered by redstone dust that is one level lower, or on an [[opaque]] block one level higher. A transparent block cannot{{only|java}} pass power downward.
** The block "between" the two dust blocks must be air or transparent. A solid block there "cuts" the connection between the higher and lower dust.

The "power level" of redstone dust can vary from 0 to 15. Most power components power-up adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, but a few ([[daylight sensor]]s, [[trapped chest]]s, and [[weighted pressure plate]]s) may create a lower power level. Redstone repeaters output power level 15 (when turned on), but [[redstone comparator]]s may output a lower power level.

{{Schematic | caption =

Redstone wire can transmit power up to 15 blocks.

 |rt-$!|rd-$ew!+15|rd-$ew!+14|rd-$ew!+13|rd-$ew!+12|rd-$ew!+11|rd-$ew!+10|rd-$ew!+9
 |rd-$ew!+8|rd-$ew!+7|rd-$ew!+6|rd-$ew!+5|rd-$ew!+4|rd-$ew!+3|rd-$ew!+2|rd-$ew!+1|rd-$ew+0

}}
Power level drops by 1 for every block of redstone wire it crosses. Thus, redstone wire can transmit power for no more than 15 blocks. To go further, the power level must be re-strengthened – typically with a redstone repeater.

Powered redstone wire on top of, or pointing at, an opaque block provides ''weak'' power to the block. A weakly-powered block cannot power other adjacent redstone wire, but can still power redstone repeaters and comparators, and activate adjacent mechanism components. Transparent blocks cannot be powered.

When redstone wire is unpowered, it appears dark red. When powered, it becomes bright red at power level 15, fading to darker shades with decreasing power. Powered redstone wire also produces "dust" [[particles]] of the same color.

While redstone wire always provides power to the directions it points into, it can still point into directions in which it cannot give power. If redstone wire comes in the form of a cross, the player can right-click to toggle it between a cross and dot. A redstone dot does not power anything adjacent to it, but powers the block under it.

'''Smithing templates''' are items used in [[Smithing Table|smithing tables]] to alter [[Tool|tools]] and [[armor]]. They are consumed when used, but can be [[Crafting|duplicated]] using an existing template, its material and [[Diamond|diamonds]].

The sixteen '''armor trim smithing templates''' are found in a variety of [[Generated structures|structures]], and are used to apply various decorative trims (dependent on the variant) to armor using certain minerals for different colors.

'''Netherite upgrade smithing templates''' are required to upgrade diamond equipment with a [[Netherite Ingot|netherite ingot]]. They are only found in [[Bastion Remnant|bastion remnants]], but are guaranteed only in [[:en:Bastion_Remnant#Treasure_room|treasure rooms]].

== Obtaining ==
Smithing templates can be found in various [[Generated structures|structures]] and can be duplicated by using seven diamonds and a block based on what the template is.

{{IN|bedrock}}, spire, tide, and dune armor trims can be duplicated with more blocks than {{in|java}}. In addition to the normal blocks, Tide armor trims can be duplicated using Prismarine Bricks or Dark Prismarine, dune armor trims can be duplicated with smooth sandstone, cut sandstone, or chiseled sandstone, and spire armor trims can be duplicated with purpur pillars.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-172711||Tide, Spire, and Dune Armor Trims can be crafted from more blocks than in Java Edition}}</ref>

=== Mob loot ===
[[Elder guardian]]s have a 20% chance to drop 1 tide armor trim upon death. [[Looting]] doesn't affect this percentage, and the elder guardian doesn't need to be killed by a player in order for the trim to drop and can be duplicated with [[prismarine]].

Note: In Woodland Mansions, only chests with random loot have the chance to contain the Vex Smithing Template, chests in the "Allium room", "Sapling farm", "Tree-chopping room" and "Fake End portal room" always generate with the same, room specific, loot.

=== Smithing ingredient ===
Smithing templates are used at a [[smithing table]]. Netherite upgrade smithing templates are used to upgrade diamond gear into netherite gear by using a netherite upgrade, a piece of diamond gear, and a [[netherite ingot]].

Armor trim smithing templates are used to customize an armor piece's appearance by using a smithing template, an armor piece, and an ingot or crystal ([[emerald]], [[redstone dust]], [[lapis lazuli]], [[amethyst shard]], [[nether quartz]], [[netherite ingot]], [[diamond]], [[gold ingot]], [[iron ingot]], or [[copper ingot]]). Including all dyed leather armor colors and regular armor, there are ≈3.679x10<sup>9</sup> different possible armor pieces<!--5713438 leather colors, plus the 4 other armor materials = 5713442. 5713442 * 161 (the 160 trim combos (16 trims, 10 materials) + untrimmed) = 919864162. 919864162 * 4 (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) = 3679456648 ≈ 3.679x10^9-->, and 7.16x10<sup>35</sup> <!--919864162 + 1 (no armor in that slot) = 919864163. 919864163^4 = 715969952015045562662444917041515536 ≈ 7.16x10^35 total possible armor combinations-->total possible armor combinations excluding enchantments and the player not wearing armor.

Already trimmed armor can be trimmed again by applying another template on it; the old trim pattern is overwritten in the process.<ref>{{bug|MC-262538||When combining armor trims the new trim deletes the old one|WAI}}</ref> Therefore, one piece of armor cannot possess multiple trims at the same time.

Most armor trims cover a small portion of the armor piece's surface with the trim material, except for the silence armor trim, which allows the trim material to cover a majority of the armor piece's surface.

All of the trims are purely decorative, and don't impact gameplay or strength(without the use of mods or plugins) of the armor they are applied to in any way. [[Piglin]]s do not pick up any gold-trimmed armor pieces, and they are not pacified by players wearing even a full set of gold-trimmed armor (unless, of course, the armor pieces in question are themselves golden), and netherite-trimmed armor pieces can still be burned by [[fire]].

{{History|||snap=23w05a|Smithing templates can be used to trim leather armor.
|Gold, iron, diamond, and netherite armor can be trimmed with their respective material.
|The dune, coast, wild, and sentry armor trims now always generate two templates in a chest when found.
|Increased the chances for all smithing templates that generate in chest loot to spawn:
*Netherite upgrade chance to find increased from 3.2% to 10%.
*Coast chance to find increased from 11.1% to 16.7%.
*Dune chance to find increased from 11.1% to 14.3%.
*Eye chance to find increased from 4.7% to 10% in alter chests, and to 100% in library chests.
*Rib chance to find increased from 4.7% to 6.7%.

== Trivia ==
* Smithing templates were named "Smithing Blueprints" in the prototype but was changed because the word "blueprint" sounded modern and technical.<ref>{{ytl|klP9SrJFDU8|Minecraft 1.20: Armor Trims - What Do They Mean?|Minecraft|May 4, 2023|t=98}}</ref>
* When Mojang developer Gnembon was working on armor trims, he accidentally messed up their rendering, making them jet through the player's body in a weird fashion, similar to what appears in {{w|Salvador Dalí}}'s paintings where a hand might poke through a forehead.<ref>{{ytl|ghQODkq4ITI|Mojang Dev Comes To Hermitcraft! (Mojang Developer Gnembom Interview)|GoodVodsWithScar|June 23, 2023|t=1980}}</ref>
* Some of the armor trims feature patterns based on a [[mob]] or [[block]] that is found in the same [[Generated structures|structure]] as the corresponding smithing template.<ref name=":0">"Some of the armor trims reflect the place where you found the template, for example bastions contain a piglin-inspired trim."-[[Sofia Dankis]]-{{Mcnet|armor-trims-coming-minecraft-1-20|Armor Trims Coming to Minecraft 1.20|January 24, 2023}}</ref>
** The spire armor trim resembles a [[shulker]].
** The vex armor trim resembles an [[evoker]]. As an item in the [[inventory]], it resembles the wing or the vein texture of a [[vex]].
** The wild armor trim has moss growing on 3 of its corners.
** The coast armor trim appears to have barnacles attached to it.
** The ward armor trim, as an item in the inventory, resembles the faces inside a [[warden]]'s chest.
** The silence armor trim appears to have sculk creeping onto / infecting it.
** The tide armor trim resembles [[Prismarine|prismarine bricks]].
** The snout armor trim resembles a [[piglin]]<ref name=":0" />.
** The rib armor trim resembles a [[wither skeleton]].
** The eye armor trim resembles an [[eye of ender]]. There are also two eyes on the head part of the armor trim that resemble those of an [[enderman]].
* ''Netherite upgrade smithing template'' (35 characters with "_" and 32 characters without "_") and ''sentry armor trim smithing template'' (35 characters with "_" and 31 characters without "_") are the current longest name for item ID, while ''[[polished blackstone pressure plate]]'' and ''[[cracked polished blackstone bricks]]'' have 34 characters with "_" and 31 characters without "_".
* The silence armor trim is the rarest trim, due to being found in ancient cities in the deep dark, and having only a 1.2% chance to be per chest.
* When [[lapis lazuli]] is used as trim material, it is called "Lapis" instead of its full name "Lapis Lazuli"; this is the only instance of the abbreviation "Lapis" being used in-game.<ref>{{bug|MC-262486|||WAI}}</ref>
