The Named Binary Tag (NBT) is a tree data structure used by Minecraft in many save files to store arbitrary data. The format is comprised of a handful of tags. Tags have a numeric ID, a name, and a payload. A user-accessible version in the form of strings is the stringified Named Binary Tag (SNBT) format.

SNBT format[]

Information icon
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. 

SNBT, also known as data tag, is often used in command in Java Edition. It can be described starting with key-value pairs enclosed in curly braces. One common usage of data tags in Java Edition is in commands, used to specify complex data for any entity.

A data tag consists of zero or more attribute-value pairs delimited by commas and enclosed in curly braces. Each attribute-value pair consists of a tag name and the tag's value, separated by a colon. Some values, however, may be a compound tag and themselves contain attribute-value pairs, allowing a data tag to describe a hierarchical data structure.

Example: {name1:123,name2:"sometext1",name3:{subname1:456,subname2:"sometext2"}}

Tag's name can be enclosed with double quotes if necessary.

It is different from the JSON format; hence, any JSON used in NBT, such as raw JSON text, must be enclosed within a string tag.

Data types[]

Data Tags Value Types

 Byte A signed 8-bit integer, ranging from -128 to 127 (inclusive). <number>b or <number>B 34B, -20b
 Boolean NBT has no boolean data type, but byte value 0 and 1 can be represented as true, false. When a byte field is used as a boolean value, icon is shown. true, false true
 Short A signed 16-bit integer, ranging from -32,768 to 32,767 (inclusive). <number>s or <number>S 31415s, -27183s

 String A sequence of characters A string enclosed in quotes. For strings containing only 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, -, ., and +, and not confused with other data types, quote enclosure is optional. Quotes can be either single quote ' or double ". Nested quotes can be included within a string by escaping the character with a \ escape.

<[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.\+] text>, "<text>" (" within needs to be escaped to \"), or '<text>' (' within needs to be escaped to \')

"Call me \"Ishmael\""

'Call me "Ishmael"'

'Call me \'Ishmael\''

"Call me 'Ishmael'"

 List An ordered list of tags. The tags must be of the same type, determined by the first tag in the list. Unnamed tags enclosed in square brackets and delimited by commas.

[3.2,64.5,129.5]
 Compound An ordered list of attribute-value pairs.

Each tag can be of any type.

Named tags enclosed in curly braces and delimited by commas.

The key (tag name) can be unquoted if it contains only 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, -, ., and +. Otherwise the key should be quoted. Quotes can be either single quote ' or double ". Nested quotes can be included within a string by escaping the character with a \ escape.

{<[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.\+] tag_name>:<value>,"<tag name>":<value>,...}

{X:3,Y:64,Z:129}

[B;<byte>b,<byte>B,true,false...]

[B;1b,2b,3b]
 Int Array An ordered list of 32-bit integers. Note that [I;1,2,3] and [1,2,3] are considered as different type, the second one is a  list. I; followed by an ordered list of int tags, delimited by commas. Tag is enclosed in square brackets.

 Long Array An ordered list of 64-bit integers. Note that [L;1l,2l,3l] and [1l,2l,3l] are considered as different type, the second one is a  list. L; followed by an ordered list of long tags, delimited by commas. Tag is enclosed in square brackets.

[L;<long>l,<long>L,...]

[L;1l,2l,3l]

NBT object[]

When the game is running, entities and block entities in loading chunks are stored in the memory. They are not stored with NBT, instead, they are just programmatic objects.

When processing NBT operations, the game needs to generate programmatic NBT object from entities/block entities, parse SNBT into NBT object, modify entities/blocks based on provided NBT object, or convert NBT object into SNBT.

Generating NBT object[]

When generating NBT from an entity/block, the entity/block's properties are added into programmatic NBT object.

Note that not all properties are added. For example, the value of whether a player is opening a chest won't be added into NBT object.

A value is added with certain data type. For example, a resource location will be converted to a string value.

These NBT objects will also be stored into game's save files as NBT files when the game quits or automatically saves. So the data structures that NBT tags describe and the data type for each tag are basically the same ones used in game's save files. These data structures are described in other articles and commands expect data tags to use the same attribute names (which are case-sensitive):

Data Structure Specification Links
Objects Examples
Block entities chests, furnaces, command blocks, mob spawners, signs, etc.
Items items in inventories (includes specifications for enchantments, lore, custom names, etc.)
Item entities items on the ground
Mobs creepers, cows, villagers, etc.
Projectiles arrows, fireballs, thrown potions, etc.
Vehicles boats, minecarts, etc.
Dynamic tiles primed TNT, falling sand/gravel/concrete powder/anvils
Other entities firework rockets, paintings, and item frames

Conversion to SNBT[]

Information icon
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. 

A programmatic NBT object would be converted to a SNBT when trying to get it with /data get etc.

After converted, a number is always followed by a letter (lowercase for b, s, f, d, and uppercase for L) except  Integer. For example, 3s for a short, 3.2f for a float, etc.

And a string is always enclosed by double or single quotes.

Other data types are expressed as the #Data types table above.

Conversion from SNBT[]

Information icon
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. 

An SNBT will be converted to a programmatic NBT object when parsed by the game.

A number that followed by a letter (B, S, L, F, D, or their lowercase) is resolved to corresponding data type. For example, 3s for a short, 3.2f for a float, etc. The letter can be uppercase or lowercase. When no letter is used, it assumes double if there's a decimal point, int if there's no decimal point and the size fits within 32 bits, or string if neither is true.

A square-bracketed literal is assumed to be a list unless an identifier is used: [I;1,2,3] for an int array and [L;1L,2L,3L] for a long array.

true and false are converted as 1b and 0b respectively.

Modifying entity/block based on NBT object[]

Information icon
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. 

Modifying entity/block based on a programmatic NBT object is not a simple progress. All certain tags need to be resolved before changing properties of a block/entity. Note that only certain properties can be changed. For example, when using /data command to modify a block entity, its coordinates cannot be changed.

If a property needs a value of resource location and gets a  string tag, the string is converted to a resource location.

If a property needs a value of JSON text and gets a  string tag, the string is parsed into JSON text object.

If a property needs a boolean value and gets a numeric tag, true if the number is not 0 after some rounding operation and conversion to byte.

If a property needs a boolean value and gets a non-numeric tag, the property becomes false.

If a property needs a numeric value of certain type and gets a numeric tag of wrong type, the value gets some rounding operation and converts to the required type.

If a property needs a numeric value and gets a non-numeric tag, the number becomes 0.

If a property needs a string value and gets a non-string tag, the string becomes an empty string.

If a property needs a list or array of certain type and gets a wrong-type tag, a empty list/array is got.

If a property needs a compound tag and gets a non-compound tag, a empty compound tag is got.

Testing NBT tags[]

Information icon
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition. 

When commands such as /clear, /execute if data are used to match data tags, or nbt argument in target selector tries to target entity, the game converts SNBT into programmatic NBT object and gets programmatic NBT object from block/entity/storage, then compares the two NBT objects.

They check only for the presence of the provided tags in the target entity/block/storage. This means that the entity/block/storage can have additional tags and still match. This is true even for lists: the order and number of elements in a list are not considered, and as long as every requested element is in the list, it matches even if there are additional elements. For example, an entity with data {Pos:[1d,2d,3d],Tags:["a","b"]} can be targeted by @e[nbt={Pos:[3d,2d,1d]}] or even just @e[nbt={Pos:[2d]}] even though the former represents a totally different position and the latter is not a valid position at all. Note that @e[nbt={Tags:[]}] can't match it, because an empty list can only match empty list.

However, the order and number of elements in a byte/long/int array is acknowledged.

The requested data tags in the target entity/block/storage must match exactly for the provided tags to pass, including the data type (e.g. 1, an int, will not match 1d, a double). Namespaces also can't omitted because in NBT object it is just a plain string that won't be resolved into a resource location (e.g. @e[nbt={Item:{id:"stone"}}] will not match a stone item entity, it must be @e[nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:stone"}}]). The same is true for string of JSON text, which must be exactly the same to match the provided tag (e.g. @e[nbt={CustomName:'"a"'}] will not match any entity, it must be @e[nbt={CustomName:"{\"text\":\"a\"}"}] or @e[nbt={CustomName:'{"text":"a"}'}]).

Binary format[]

An NBT file is a zipped Compound tag, with the name and tag ID included. The file in the zip must contain the Compound tag that it is as the first bytes. Some of the files utilized by Minecraft may be uncompressed, but in most cases, the files follow Notch's original specification and are compressed with GZip.

TAG definition[]

A tag is an individual part of the data tree. The first byte in a tag is the tag type (ID), followed by a two byte big-endian unsigned integer for the length of the name, then the name as a string in UTF-8 format (Note TAG_End is not named and does not contain the extra 2 bytes; the name is assumed to be empty). Finally, depending on the type of the tag, the bytes that follow are part of that tag's payload. This table describes each of the 13 known tags in version 19133 of the NBT format:

ID Icon Tag Type Payload Description Storage Capacity
0 TAG_End - Used to mark the end of compound tags. This tag does not have a name, so it is only ever a single byte 0. It may also be the type of empty List tags. N/A
1 TAG_Byte 1 byte / 8 bits, signed A signed integral type. Sometimes used for booleans. Full range of -(27) to (27 - 1)
(-128 to 127)
2 TAG_Short 2 bytes / 16 bits, signed, big endian A signed integral type. Full range of -(215) to (215 - 1)
(-32,768 to 32,767)
3 TAG_Int 4 bytes / 32 bits, signed, big endian A signed integral type. Full range of -(231) to (231 - 1)
(-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647)
4 TAG_Long 8 bytes / 64 bits, signed, big endian A signed integral type. Full range of -(263) to (263 - 1)
(-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807)
5 TAG_Float 4 bytes / 32 bits, signed, big endian, IEEE 754-2008, binary32 A signed floating point type. Precision varies throughout number line;
See Single-precision floating-point format. Maximum value about 3.4*1038
6 TAG_Double 8 bytes / 64 bits, signed, big endian, IEEE 754-2008, binary64 A signed floating point type. Precision varies throughout number line;
See Double-precision floating-point format. Maximum value about 1.8*10308
7 TAG_Byte_Array A signed integer (4 bytes) size, then the bytes comprising an array of length size. An array of bytes. Maximum number of elements ranges between (231 - 9) and (231 - 1) (2,147,483,639 and 2,147,483,647), depending on the specific JVM.
8

TAG_String An unsigned short (2 bytes)[1] payload length, then a UTF-8 string resembled by length bytes. A UTF-8 string. It has a size, rather than being null terminated. 65,535 bytes interpretable as UTF-8 (see modified UTF-8 format; most commonly-used characters are a single byte).
9 TAG_List A byte denoting the tag ID of the list's contents, followed by the list's length as a signed integer (4 bytes), then length number of payloads that correspond to the given tag ID. A list of tag payloads, without tag IDs or names, apart from the one before the length. Due to JVM limitations and the implementation of ArrayList, the maximum number of list elements is (231 - 9), or 2,147,483,639. Also note that List and Compound tags may not be nested beyond a depth of 512.
10 TAG_Compound Fully formed tags, followed by a TAG_End. A list of fully formed tags, including their IDs, names, and payloads. No two tags may have the same name. Unlike lists, there is no hard limit to the number of tags within a Compound (of course, there is always the implicit limit of virtual memory). Note, however, that Compound and List tags may not be nested beyond a depth of 512.
11 TAG_Int_Array A signed integer size, then size number of TAG_Int's payloads. An array of TAG_Int's payloads. Maximum number of elements ranges between (231 - 9) and (231 - 1) (2,147,483,639 and 2,147,483,647), depending on the specific JVM.
12 TAG_Long_Array A signed integer size, then size number of TAG_Long's payloads. An array of TAG_Long's payloads. Maximum number of elements ranges between (231 - 9) and (231 - 1) (2,147,483,639 and 2,147,483,647), depending on the specific JVM.

The List and Compound tags can be and often are recursively nested. It should also be noted that, in a list of lists, each of the sub-lists can list a different kind of tag.

Usage[]

Minecraft sometimes uses the NBT format inconsistently; in some instances, empty lists may be represented as a list of Byte tags rather than a list of the correct type, or as a list of End tags in newer versions of Minecraft, which can break some older NBT tools.

In most cases, the files follow Notch's original specification and are compressed with GZip. But some of the files utilized by Minecraft may be uncompressed, or with zlib (aka DEFLATE with a few bytes extra).

Additionally, almost every root tag has an empty name string and encapsulates only one Compound or List tag with the actual data and a name. Just like level.dat and servers.dat. For instance:

  • The root tag for most Minecraft NBT structures.
    •  SomeName: The only tag contained within the root tag - it has a name and contains all the actual data.

In Bedrock Edition, the root tag in an NBT file can sometimes be a  TAG_List instead of a  TAG_Compound.

In Bedrock Edition, all numbers are encoded in little-endian. This includes the size prefix before tag names,  string values and  list or  array values, as well as values in all numeric tags.

In Bedrock Edition, the level.dat is uncompressed NBT file with an 8-byte header, consisting of a little-endian 4-byte integer indicating the type of the file, which is 3 (was 2 before latest update) for level.dat. It is followed by another integer containing the length of the file, minus the header.

Uses[]

This section is missing information about Bedrock Edition NBTs. 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.
  • level.dat is stored in compressed NBT format.
  • <player>.dat files are stored in compressed NBT format.
  • idcounts.dat is stored in compressed NBT format.
  • villages.dat is stored in compressed NBT format.
  • raids.dat is stored in compressed NBT format.
  • map_<#>.dat files are stored in compressed NBT format.
  • servers.dat, which is used to store the list of saved multiplayer servers as uncompressed NBT.
  • hotbar.nbt, which is used to save hotbars as uncompressed NBT format.
  • Chunks are stored in compressed NBT format within Region files.
  • scoreboard.dat is stored in compressed NBT format.

  • Saved structures are stored in compressed NBT format.

JSON and NBT[]

JSON is a lightweight text-based data-interchange format. The standard of JSON text is specified at EMCA-404. See also JSON.

JSON is very different from NBT. NBT is a data structure which can be represented by binary file or string. JSON is a text format for data-interchange. There are only six data types in JSON: JsonString, JsonNumber, JsonBoolean, JsonNull, JsonObject, and JsonArray. In NBT, there're more types for different numbers, and there're no null and boolean data types. In NBT, there're list, byte array, int array and long array, and elements in a list or an array must be in the same type. However, in JSON, there's only JsonArray, in which elements can be in different data types. The key of a tag in SNBT is allowed to be unquoted, while the key of a name-value pair in JSON must be double-quoted.

So conversion between NBT and JSON may lose a lot of information, and at the same time add a lot of redundant information. However, the conversion is sometimes used by vanilla game in Java Edition. Currently used in custom biome's ambient particle and processor list's "rule" processor type. Below is how the vanilla game converts them.

Official software[]

Mojang has provided sample Java NBT classes for developers to use and reference as part of the source code for the MCRegion to Anvil file format converter.[2] Since Java Edition 1.13, Minecraft includes a built-in converter between the SNBT format and compressed NBT format, which comes with both the client and official server.[3]

The data generator from Minecraft is able to convert uncompressed Stringified NBT files with .snbt extension in an input folder to GZip compressed NBT format files with .nbt extension in an output folder, and vice versa.

The vanilla data generator can convert any GZip compressed NBT format to SNBT format. The file extension of a file can simply be changed, such as level.dat to level.nbt and put in the input folder, and the generator then decodes the GZip compressed NBT data.

History[]

The NBT file format was described by Notch in a brief specification.[4]

The original known version was 19132 as introduced in Beta 1.3, and since then has been updated to 19133 with the Anvil file format, which adds the Int Array tag. The NBT format dates all the way back to Indev with tags 0 to 10 in use.

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}

A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>

If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.

=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}

=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.

=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.

Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.

Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.

For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].

==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.

=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.


Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.

Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.

After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}

[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]

A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.

A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.

{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.

{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.

: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}

Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.

=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.

Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}

Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.

[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).

=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.

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

'''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.

== Sounds ==

{{Sound table/Entity/Food}}

== Data values ==

== Trivia ==
*Prior to the texture update in Java Edition 1.4.2, the sprite of the apple was the same one used in [[Notch]]'s game ''[[Legend of the Chambered]]''.
*Before it was added to ''Minecraft'', apples dropping from trees was already a feature in ''[[Minicraft]]''.

}}'''Melon seeds''' are items obtained from [[Melon Slice|melon slices]] that can be used to grow melon stems.

'''Melon stems''' are plants grown on [[farmland]] that, over time, grow [[melon]]s on dirt, mud and moss blocks adjacent to them.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
When broken, a melon stem drops 0–3 melon seeds. The chance for melon seeds to drop increases with the stem's age.

=== Natural generation ===
Melon stems generate naturally in stem farm inside [[woodland mansion]]s.

Melon stems generate in 20% of the farm plots in [[savanna]] [[village]]s, and 10% of the farm plots in [[desert]] villages.

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

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Melon Slice
|Output= Melon Seeds
|type= Material
}}

=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s sell melon seeds for 1 [[emerald]].

== Usage ==
=== Farming ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Pumpkin and melon farming}}
Melon seeds can be planted only on [[farmland]], as stems. Over time, a stem grows through several stages<sup>[''[[Talk:Pumpkin Seeds|needs testing]]'']</sup> and, at its final growth stage, will produce [[melon]]s on any adjacent [[dirt]], [[Coarse Dirt|coarse dirt]], [[Rooted Dirt|rooted dirt]], [[Grass Block|grass block]], [[farmland]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[Moss Block|moss block]], [[mud]] or [[Muddy Mangrove Roots|muddy mangrove roots]]. If a melon is already occupying a spot adjacent to a stem it does not grow more melons until the melons is removed. A single stem can grow an unlimited number of melons. Melon stems need a minimum light level of 10 in the block above the stem to grow and give melons. Melon seeds are affected by [[bone meal]] only with respect to stem growth; bone meal does not help produce the actual melons.

=== Breeding ===
Like other seeds, melon seeds can be used to [[breed]] [[chicken]]s, lead chickens around, and make baby chickens grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.

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

=== Composting ===
Placing melon seeds into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Melon Stem ==
A '''melon stem''' is the block that is planted on [[farmland]] when melon seeds are used on it. It starts underground, and rises up as the plant grows. The stem is colored green when young, and then yellow once fully grown.

The stem curves once a melon has grown from it. A fully-grown single stem connects to any [[melon]] in an adjacent square, thus there are 5 possible appearances to a stem. If there are multiple melons it can connect to, it favors the east, then west, north, and south. When the melon is removed, the stem returns to its straight shape.

'''Netherite ingots''' are items obtained from crafting [[netherite scrap]]s and [[gold ingot]]s together, as well as loot from [[bastion remnant]] loot chests. Unlike other items, they are immune to fire and [[lava]] damage. They are primarily used to upgrade [[diamond]] gear and craft [[lodestone]]s.

== Obtaining ==

Netherite ingots are obtained by crafting four [[netherite scrap]]s and four [[gold ingot]]s. It is a shapeless recipe, therefore the placement of the netherite scraps and gold ingots does not matter when crafting it.

=== Beacons ===

A netherite ingot could be used to select powers from a [[beacon]] instead of using an [[emerald]], [[gold ingot]], [[iron ingot]], or a [[diamond]]. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot. The [[gold]] option is more efficient than the netherite option because it consumes 3 fewer gold and no [[Netherite Scrap|netherite scrap]].

'''Bamboo''' is a versatile, fast-growing, [[Bone Meal|bonemealable]] [[plant]] found primarily in [[jungle]]s, which is used for [[crafting]] (particularly [[scaffolding]] and [[Block of Bamboo|bamboo wood]]), [[smelting]] and [[breeding]] [[Panda|pandas]]. 

A '''bamboo shoot''' is the initial non-solid sapling form of planted bamboo.

== Obtaining ==
Bamboo shoots cannot be obtained through vanilla means. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can be obtained through [[add-on]]s or inventory editing. {{IN|java}}, they are completely unobtainable.

=== Breaking ===
Bamboo can be mined with any [[tool]], but a [[sword]] breaks the block [[instant mining|instantly]], even with [[Mining Fatigue]]. Flowing [[water]] also breaks bamboo shoots, but not mature bamboo stalks.

{{breaking row|Bamboo|Sword|sword=1|horizontal=1}}
{{notelist}}
=== Natural generation ===
Bamboo generates in widely scattered single shoots within [[jungle]] [[biome]]s. Bamboo generates much more densely in the [[bamboo jungle|bamboo variant]]s of jungles, covering large areas of the landscape. Bamboo does ''not'' generate in [[sparse jungle]]s.<ref>{{bug|MC-156638|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Mob loot ===
{{IN|java}}, a [[panda]] drops 1 bamboo when killed. [[Looting]] does not affect the drop rate.<ref>{{bug|MC-160006}}</ref>

{{IN|bedrock}}, a panda drops 0-2 bamboo when killed. Looting increases the drop by 1 per level.

=== Fishing ===
Bamboo can be found while [[fishing]] in [[jungle]] [[biome]]s as a junk [[item]].

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|bamboo}}

== Usage ==
When broken, any bamboo [[block]] placed or grown above it is also broken. A bamboo block drops itself as an [[item]] if a [[piston]] pushes it or moves a block into its space. When bamboo is first placed as a shoot it's not solid and can be destroyed by water flowing into it. After growing at least one block taller it becomes solid and can't be destroyed by water. To transform a bamboo shoot into a solid bamboo block place another bamboo on top of it.

Unlike most plants, bamboo cannot be [[Composter#Composting|composted]].<ref>{{bug|MC-142452|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Farming ===
Bamboo can be planted on [[moss block]]s{{only|java|short=1}}, [[grass block]]s, [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[gravel]], [[mycelium]], [[podzol]], [[sand]], [[red sand]], [[suspicious sand]], [[suspicious gravel]], [[mud]], bamboo shoot, or on itself. At default random tick speed (3), each plant grows on average every {{convert|4096|ticks|seconds}}. When [[bone meal]] is {{control|used}} on it, it grows by 1–2 [[blocks]]. Bamboo can grow up to 12–16 blocks tall. The top of a bamboo plant requires a [[light]] level of 9 or above to grow.

Because bamboo breaks in almost the same way as [[sugar cane]]s, [[Tutorials/Sugar cane farming|a sugar cane farm]] can be easily adapted to this use. While water is not needed with such a farm, some spacing is recommended if the harvest is done manually as mature stalks are solid.

=== Pandas ===
Bamboo [[item]]s are eaten by [[panda]]s and can be used to speed up the growth of baby pandas. Bamboo can also be used to breed pandas when at least 8 [[block]]s of bamboo are within 5 blocks of the pandas, making the panda the only animal in the game to have extra breeding requirements. At this point, the [[player]] can feed them bamboo and they [[breeding|mate]] to have a baby.

=== Fuel ===
Bamboo can be used as fuel for [[smelting]]. Each bamboo item smelts 0.25 [[item]]s. Crafting two bamboo into a [[stick]] and using that as fuel is equivalent, smelting 0.5 items. 

Bamboo can be crafted into other items to increase its fuel efficiency.
* By crafting 9 bamboo into 2 [[bamboo planks]], 3 items can be smelted instead of 2.25, a 33.3% increase in efficiency.
** {{IN|bedrock}}, the fuel efficiency can be further doubled by crafting the bamboo planks into twice the amount of [[slab]]s.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-94368||Wooden slabs last for the same amount of time as planks in a furnace}}</ref>
* {{IN|java}}, by crafting 14 bamboo into 3 [[ladder]]s, 4.5 items can be smelted instead of 3.5, a 28.6% increase in efficiency.

=== Flower pots ===
Bamboo can be placed in a [[flower pot]], where it retains the design it has in its item form.

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

== Appearance ==
[[File:Bamboo stages.png|thumb|The different stages of bamboo growth.]]

The appearance of bamboo changes as it grows. When first placed, it takes the form of a small shoot, which has no [[hitbox]]. When it grows one [[block]] taller it grows to 2 pixels in length and width and the top block has leaves coming off it. At 3 blocks, the top 2 blocks have leaves and at 4 blocks the bamboo expands to 3×3 pixels. At 5 blocks tall, the top 3 blocks have leaves on them. As the bamboo grows, the leaves move up and stay at the top 3 blocks. Destroying a block of bamboo does not change the appearance of the blocks below it. Bamboo is oriented at a random position in the block that it is in.

=== Bamboo shoot "item" ===
{{:Technical blocks/Bamboo Shoot}}

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* Because bamboo grows quickly (on average 1 growth per 200 seconds), just 500 plants in an automatic farm produce more [[item]]s than a [[hopper]] can collect (2.5 items per second). A single hopper can move only enough items to keep 6.25 [[furnace]]s running.
* Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in ''[[Minecraft]]'', which reflects its status as the fastest-growing plant known in real life.
* While bamboo cannot be composted in ''Minecraft'', it can be composted in real life.

'''Netherite ingots''' are items obtained from crafting [[netherite scrap]]s and [[gold ingot]]s together, as well as loot from [[bastion remnant]] loot chests. Unlike other items, they are immune to fire and [[lava]] damage. They are primarily used to upgrade [[diamond]] gear and craft [[lodestone]]s.

== Obtaining ==

Netherite ingots are obtained by crafting four [[netherite scrap]]s and four [[gold ingot]]s. It is a shapeless recipe, therefore the placement of the netherite scraps and gold ingots does not matter when crafting it.

=== Repairing ===

Netherite ingots are the repair items for the netherite [[tier]] and [[armor material]], and thus can be used to [[item repair|repair]] the following items in an [[anvil]]:
* {{ItemLink|Netherite Helmet}}
* {{ItemLink|Netherite Chestplate}}

* {{ItemLink|Netherite Hoe}}

=== Beacons ===

A netherite ingot could be used to select powers from a [[beacon]] instead of using an [[emerald]], [[gold ingot]], [[iron ingot]], or a [[diamond]]. The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot. The [[gold]] option is more efficient than the netherite option because it consumes 3 fewer gold and no [[Netherite Scrap|netherite scrap]].

A '''redstone comparator''' is a [[block]] that can produce an [[Redstone Dust|output signal]] from its front by reading [[chest]]s, [[lectern]]s, [[beehive]]s and similar blocks, or repeat a signal without changing its strength. It can also be set to either stop outputting a signal when its side input recieves a stronger one (front torch off), or subtract its side input's signal strength from its output (front torch on).

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Redstone comparators generate in [[Ancient City|ancient cities]].

=== Breaking ===
A redstone comparator can be broken instantly with any [[tool]], or by hand, and drops itself as an item.

{{Breaking row|Redstone Comparator|horizontal=y}}

A redstone comparator is removed and dropped as an item if:
* its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed;
* [[water]] flows into its space;{{only|java}}
* a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space.

If [[lava]] flows into a redstone comparator's space, the redstone comparator is destroyed without dropping as an item.

|B2=Nether Quartz
|C2=Redstone Torch
|A3=Stone
|B3=Stone
|C3=Stone
|Output= Redstone Comparator
|type=Redstone
}}

== Usage ==
A redstone comparator can be placed on the top of any [[opaque]] block with a solid full-height top surface (including upside-down [[slab]]s and upside-down [[stairs]]). {{IN|be}}, a comparator can also be placed on [[wall]]s and fences. For more information about placement on transparent blocks, see [[Opacity/Placement]].

The redstone comparator has a front and a back — the arrow on the top of the comparator points to the front. When placed, the comparator faces away from the player. The comparator has two miniature redstone torches at the back and one at the front. The back torches turn on when the comparator's output is greater than zero (the arrow on top also turns red). The front torch has two states that can be toggled by {{control|using}} the comparator:
* Down and unpowered (indicating the comparator is in "comparison mode")
* Up and powered (indicating the comparator is in "subtraction mode")

The redstone comparator can take a signal strength input from its rear as well as from both sides. Side inputs are accepted only from [[redstone dust]], [[block of redstone]], [[redstone repeater]]s, other comparators, and [[observer]]s in specific scenarios. The redstone comparator's front is its output.

It takes 1 [[redstone tick]] (2 game ticks, or 0.1 seconds barring lag) for signals to move through a redstone comparator, either from the rear or from the sides. This applies to changing signal strengths as well as simply to turning on and off. 

Redstone comparators check their power state before their scheduled ticks update. This results in redstone comparators not usually responding to 1-tick fluctuations of power or signal strength — for example, a [[clock circuit|1-clock]] input is treated as always off from the side, and always on from the rear. This happens because the signal changes back to its original state before the redstone comparator checks its input states. However, certain setups such as powering any input with two separate observer pulses at the same time will cause a redstone comparator to respond to 2 gametick pulses.

The redstone comparator has four functions: maintain signal strength, compare signal strength, subtract signal strength, and measure certain block states (primarily the fullness of containers).

=== Maintain signal strength ===
A redstone comparator with no powered sides outputs the same signal strength as its rear input.

=== Compare signal strength ===
[[File:Comparators Explained.png|Comparators in comparison mode.|thumb]]
A redstone comparator in comparison mode (front torch down and unpowered) compares its rear input to its two side inputs. If either side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator output turns off. If neither side input is greater than the rear input, the comparator outputs the same signal strength as its rear input.

The formula for calculating the output signal strength is as follows:

<code>output = rear × [[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|[]]'''''left''''' ≤ '''''rear''''' AND '''''right''''' ≤ '''''rear'''''[[Wikipedia:Iverson bracket|<nowiki>]]]</code>
{{-}}

=== Subtract signal strength ===
[[File:Redstone comparator.png|thumb|The greatest of the side inputs A and C is subtracted from the rear input B, outputting 1. If either A or C were greater than B, it would output 0.]]
A redstone comparator in subtraction mode (front torch up and powered) subtracts the signal strength of the higher side input from the signal strength of the rear input.

<code>output = max('''''rear''''' − max('''''left''', '''right'''''), 0)</code>

For example: if the signal strength is 6 at the left input, 7 at the right input and 4 at the rear, the output signal has a strength of ''max(4 − max(6, 7), 0) = max(4−7, 0) = max(−3, 0) = 0''.

If the signal strength is 9 at the rear, 2 at the right input and 5 at the left input, the output signal has a strength of ''max(9 − max(2, 5), 0) = max(9−5, 0) = 4''.

=== Measure block state ===
{{Schematic | caption = A redstone comparator can measure the fullness of a chest, as well as other block states, even through an opaque block.
 |rd-ew!|rc-w!|ch|SB|rc-e!|rd-ew!
}}
A redstone comparator treats certain blocks behind it as power sources and outputs a signal strength proportional to the block's state. The comparator may be separated from the measured block by an opaque block. However, {{in|je}}, if the opaque block is powered to signal strength 15, then the comparator outputs 15 no matter the fullness of the container.<ref>{{bug|MC-64394}} (resolved as "Works As Intended")</ref>

A redstone comparator can output a signal indicating how full a container is. (0 for empty, 15 for full, etc.) The table on the right is described more in detail, later in this section.

Containers that can be measured by a comparator include:
* {{BlockLink|Furnace}}
* {{BlockLink|Blast Furnace}}
* {{BlockLink|Smoker}}
* {{BlockLink|Brewing Stand}}
* {{BlockLink|Hopper}}
* {{ItemLink|Minecart with Hopper}} on top of a [[detector rail]]
* {{BlockLink|Dispenser}}
* {{BlockLink|Dropper}}
* {{BlockLink|Chest}}
* {{BlockLink|Trapped Chest}}
* {{ItemLink|Minecart with Chest}} on top of a [[detector rail]]
* {{BlockLink|Barrel}}
* {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large chest
* {{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-e}}{{SchematicSprite|size=16|ch-w}} Large trapped chest
* {{BlockLink|Shulker Box}} (any color)

Generally speaking, the comparator output signal strength represents the average fullness of the slots, based on how many of that item form a full stack (64, 16, or 1 for non-stackable items).

The ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table (right) shows the minimum '''''full-stack-equivalent (FSE)''''' to produce different signal strengths from common containers. A '''''full-stack-equivalent''''' quantifies how many normal 64-stackable items are needed to output a corresponding signal strength. The 's' is a constant 64, with the additional amount needed following after.

One may also consider the terms: '''c''umulative-weight''''' or '''''weighted-sum''''' instead of '''''full-stack-equivalent'''''.

Items that stack to a max of 16  ([[snowball]]s, [[sign]]s, [[ender pearl]]s, etc.), contribute +4 to the ''full-stack-equivalent'' for each unity (count of 1 item). Similarly, items that stack to 1 ([[minecart]], [[boat]], etc.) contribute +64, and items that stack to 64 contribute +1.

Example 1: 3 ender pearls will contribute a 3 x 4 = 12 ''full-stack-equivalent''.

Example 2: 16 ender pearls and 60 redstone dust contributes a 16x4 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''.

Example 3: 1 minecart and 60 redstone dust contributes a 1x64 + 60x1 = 124 ''full-stack-equivalent''.

Example 4: To produce a signal strength of 10 from a hopper, one requires a ''full-stack-equivalent'' of at least 3s + 14 = 206 but strictly less than than 3s + 37 = 229. This can be done with 3 minecarts, and 14 dirt.

When a comparator measures a large chest or large trapped chest, it measures the entire large chest (54 slots), not just the half directly behind the comparator. A chest or trapped chest that cannot be opened (either because it has an opaque block, [[ocelot]], or [[cat]] above it) always produces an output of 0 no matter how many items are in the container — shulker boxes can always be measured, even if they cannot open.

;Calculating signal strength from items

:When a container is empty, the output is off.

:When it is not empty, the output signal strength is calculated as follows:

:<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''sum of all slots' fullnesses''''') / ('''''number of slots in container''''')) × 14)</code>

:<code>fullness of a slot = '''''number of items in slot''''' / '''''max stack size for this type of item'''''</code>

:''Example:'' 300 blocks in a dispenser (which has 9 slots), where each block stacks to a maximum of 64 has a 300 ''full-stack-equivalent.'' This produces an output with a signal strength of 8:
<blockquote>
1 + ((300 items / 64 items per slot) / 9 slots) × 14 = 8.292, floored is 8
</blockquote>

;Calculating items from signal strength

:It can be useful in redstone circuits to use containers with comparators to create signals of a specific strength. The number of items required in a container to produce a signal of desired strength is calculated as follows:

:<code>items required = max('''''desired signal strength''''', roundup(('''''total slots in container''''' × 64 / 14) × (desired signal strength − 1)))</code>

:''Example:'' To use a furnace (which has 3 slots) to create a strength 9 signal, players need 110 items:
<blockquote>
max(9, (3×64/14) × (9−1)) = 109.714, rounded up is 110
</blockquote>

==== Miscellaneous ====
[[File:Comparator storage.png|Comparators used to measure containers.|thumb]]
Some non-container blocks can also be measured by a redstone comparator:

;{{BlockLink|Beehive}} and {{BlockLink|Bee nest}}

: A hive or nest outputs a signal strength equal to the amount of honey in the hive/nest.

;{{BlockLink|Cake}}

: A cake outputs a signal strength relative to the amount of cake remaining.  Each slice is worth 2 signal strength, with 7 total slices, for an output of 14 for a full cake.

[[File:Cauldron Redstone Strength Values.png|Cauldron signal strength|thumb]]
;{{BlockLink|Cauldron}}

: A cauldron outputs different signal strengths depending on how much water or powdered snow is inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, and 3. If lava or powder snow is inside, the strength is always 3.

[[File:Composter Redstone Strength Values.png|Composter signal strength|thumb]]
;{{BlockLink|Composter}}

: A composter outputs different signal strengths depending on the level inside. From completely empty to completely full, the output values are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

;{{Anchor|CommandBlock}}{{BlockLink|Command Block}}

: A command block stores the "success count" of the last command executed, which represents the number of times the most recently used command of this command block succeeded. A "success" is defined by the [[command]]'s success conditions: if a red error message is returned in the chat, the command was not successful.

: Most commands can succeed once per execution, but certain commands (such as those that accept players as arguments) can succeed multiple times, and the comparator outputs the number of times it succeeded (maximum 15 when sent to redstone dust, but in the code it is able to go up to the 32-bit integer limit, and can be used in contraptions with no redstone dust with those values).

: A command block continues to store the success count of the last command executed until it executes its command again, thus the comparator continues to output the same signal strength even after the command block is no longer being activated (it doesn't turn off when the signal to the command block turns off).

;{{BlockLink|End Portal Frame}}

: An end portal frame outputs a full signal of 15 if it contains an [[eye of ender]] and zero otherwise.

[[File:Item frame and comparator.png|A comparator can measure the presence and rotation of an item frame's contents.|thumb]]

;{{EntityLink|Item Frame}}

: A comparator can measure the state of an [[item frame]]'s contents. An item frame comparator outputs 0 if the item frame is empty, or 1 to 8 for any item depending on its rotation: 1 at initial placement, plus 1 for each 45° of rotation for a maximum of 8.

: For an item frame that holds a map, a unit of rotation is 90° instead of 45°, but a comparator still outputs power levels 1 to 8. It takes two full rotations to cycle through all comparator outputs, and each orientation of the map corresponds to two output levels that differ by 4.

: The comparator must be placed behind the block the item frame is attached to, facing away from the item frame. The block must be a full block, and the item frame cannot be submerged in water. Having a sign in the same block as the item frame will prevent the frame from sending a signal as well.{{only|java}}

;{{BlockLink|Jukebox}}

: A jukebox outputs a signal strength indicating which music disc is currently playing. See the ''Minimum Items for Container Signal Strength'' table above.

;{{BlockLink|Lectern}}

: A lectern outputs a signal strength that depends on what page the player is currently on. The calculation used is:
:<code>'''''signal strength''''' = floor(1 + (('''''current page''''' - 1) / ('''''number of pages in book''''' - 1)) × 14)</code>
:This results in page 1 having a signal strength of 1, and the last page having a signal strength of 15. The exception is a single page book, which will output a signal strength of 15.
:For example, a book with 15 pages will output a signal equal to the current page number.  A book with 5 pages will output signal strengths of 1, 4, 8, 11 and 15 for the different pages. A book with 100 pages will have the signal strength increase to the next level on pages 1, 9, 16, 23, 30, 37, 44, 51, 58, 65, 72, 79, 86, 93 and 100.
:

;{{BlockLink|Respawn Anchor}}

: A respawn anchor outputs a signal strength of 0, 3, 7, 11, or 15, depending on the "charged" value.

;{{BlockLink|Sculk Sensor}}

: A sculk sensor outputs a signal strength depending on the type of vibration that is detected.

;{{BlockLink|Chiseled Bookshelf}}

: A chisled bookshelf outputs a signal strength between 1 and 6 indicating the last slot interacted with. When no slot has been interacted with yet, it outputs 0.

'''Dyes''' are a set of sixteen items used to change the color of [[wool]], [[carpet]]s, [[terracotta]], [[concrete powder]], [[glass]], [[shulker box]]es, [[bed]]s, [[candle]]s, the patterns on [[banner]]s, [[firework star]]s, certain mobs, and text on [[sign]]s and [[hanging sign]]s. {{IN|bedrock}} they can also be used to dye water in a [[cauldron]] (which is thereafter used to dye leather [[armor]]); {{in|java}} leather armor can be dyed directly. {{IN|education}} dyes can also be used to dye [[balloon]]s and [[glow stick]]s.

{{IN|bedrock|education}}, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa bean]]s can generally substitute for [[white dye]], [[black dye]], [[blue dye]], and [[brown dye]], respectively, in crafting recipes and for use in dyeing items or mobs. However, they have other important uses that aren't related to color, and are therefore not considered true dyes. They are mentioned in this article only in regard to their use as dyeing agents; see their individual articles for complete information about them.

[[File:Dye Recipes.png|400px|thumb|A guide for creating all the dyes]]

== Obtaining ==
<!--[[File:Dye Chart.png|350px|thumb|A guide to crafting all the dyes.{{until|java 1.14}}]]-->

Dyes can be produced by crafting them from plants (mainly flowers), by crafting dyes of different colors together, by smelting plants, or by trading with a [[wandering trader]].

{{loadPage|Crafting/Dye|Crafting|h3}}

=== Smelting ===
{{smelting|head=1|Sea Pickle|Lime Dye|0,2}}
{{smelting|foot=1|Cactus|Green Dye|1||b=Lapis Lazuli|c=Any fuel|d=1}}

=== Trading ===

[[Wandering trader]]s can sell 3 dyes for an [[emerald]]. {{IN|bedrock}}, they can also sell 3 lapis lazuli, bone meal, cocoa beans, or ink sacs for one emerald.

Apprentice-level cleric [[villager]]s sell one lapis lazuli per emerald.

=== Chest loot ===

{{#invoke:LootChest|base3|blue-dye,green-dye,orange-dye,light-blue-dye,yellow-dye,white-dye}}

=== Other ===

Ink sacs can also be created using 1 iron, 1 sulfur, and 4 oxygen in the [[compound creator]]. {{only|bedrock|education}}

== Usage ==

Similar to their use in crafting, [[bone meal]], [[ink sac]]s, [[lapis lazuli]], and [[cocoa beans]] can be substituted for the corresponding dye in any of the following usages unless otherwise specified.{{only|bedrock}} <!--- sections are ordered by craftable dyeable blocks, dyeable items, version exclusive sections, and non-crafting miscellaneous uses--->

=== Dyeing wool and mobs ===

Players can dye wool by placing [[wool]] and any dye in a crafting grid.

{{Crafting

}}

Dyes can be {{control|use|text=used}} on sheep to change the color of the wool. Shearing a colored sheep drops the corresponding color of the wool, and the sheep retains the color when the wool regenerates. [[Breeding]] colored sheep produces a lamb colored as one of the parent sheep, or a color resulting from the combination of both parents' color. The color combining follows the same rules that dyes use – red and yellow sheep produce an orange lamb, but a blue and yellow sheep cannot create a green lamb. The unlimited reproduction of colored sheep makes dyeing and shearing sheep infinitely more efficient than just dyeing wool directly.

=== Banner patterns ===
{{main|Banner#Patterns}}

Dyes are used in most banner patterns to determine the pattern and color displayed.

=== Dyeing armor ===

[[File:DyeGraph2.png|200px|thumb|A graph showing all combinations of two dyes on a [[tunic]].]]

Leather [[armor]] can be dyed by:
* Crafting dyes with a piece of leather armor or leather [[horse armor]].{{Only|java}}
* Dousing the leather armor or leather [[horse armor]] in a [[cauldron]] to which dyes have been added.{{Only|bedrock}}

There are 5,713,438<ref>https://anrar4.github.io/DyeLeatherArmor/</ref> (34.1% of sRGB) colors leather armor can be, as it is possible to put more than one dye on the crafting bench alongside the leather armor. Armor can be dyed multiple times with previous colors affecting the final outcome. Colored armor can be reverted to their original color using a [[cauldron]] with undyed water.

The game has a specific formula for calculating the color of dyed armor: each color, in the RGB color model, has a red value, green value, and blue value. For each dye in the crafting grid, and the armor itself (if it is already dyed), the red, green, and blue values are added to running totals. In addition, a running total of the highest value (be it red, green, or blue) is also kept. After this, each total is divided by the number of colors used. This effectively produces the average red, green, blue, and maximum values. The maximum value of the average RGB values is also calculated. Finally, each average RGB value is multiplied by the average maximum value and divided by the maximum of the average RGB values. The modified average RGB values are then used as the final color. This procedure can be summed up with the following equations:
 for each color (all "total" variables start at 0 before counting):
  totalRed = totalRed + redValue
  totalGreen = totalGreen + greenValue
  totalBlue = totalBlue + blueValue
  totalMaximum = totalMaximum + max(redValue, greenValue, blueValue)
  numberOfColors = numberOfColors + 1
 
 averageRed = totalRed / numberOfColors
 averageGreen = totalGreen / numberOfColors
 averageBlue = totalBlue / numberOfColors
 averageMaximum = totalMaximum / numberOfColors
 
 maximumOfAverage = max(averageRed, averageGreen, averageBlue)
 gainFactor = averageMaximum / maximumOfAverage
 
 resultRed = averageRed * gainFactor
 resultGreen = averageGreen * gainFactor
 resultBlue = averageBlue * gainFactor

Due to the way this formula works, the resulting color can never be darker than the average of the input colors and is often lighter and more saturated. Of course, the resulting color can never be lighter or more saturated than the lightest or most saturated input color. In addition, this formula never creates an RGB value higher than 255 (which would be invalid in the 8-bit RGB color model).

If leather armor is renamed on an [[anvil]], it retains its name when dyed or undyed.

=== Dyeing firework stars ===

A [[firework star]] can have a single color or a combination of up to eight colors when crafted with dyes. Adding one or more dyes to a crafted firework star adds a "fade to color" effect to it, overwriting any existing fade colors.

=== Dyeing water inside cauldrons ===
Water can be dyed in a cauldron by holding any dye in the hand and pressing {{Ctrl|use}} on a cauldron filled with water.{{only|bedrock}}

=== Signs ===
Dye can be {{control|used}} on a [[sign]] or a [[hanging sign]] to change the text color. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[ink sac]]s cannot be used for this purpose; black dye must be used to change the text to black.

=== Trading ===
Apprentice, journeyman and expert-level shepherd [[villager]]s buy any of the 12 dyes for an [[emerald]].

== Color values ==
The "color codes" are used to determine the color imparted on sheep, wolf and cat collars, firework stars, [[beacon]] beams, and dyed leather armor. The hex value is shown in the extended tooltips of dyed leather armor; however, to set the color using an NBT data tag in a [[command]], the decimal value must be used instead. The color values for firework stars are slightly different from the ones listed below, and use [[Item colors#Firework stars|these values]] instead.

== Trivia ==
* Players can obtain each one of every color with 1 cocoa bean, 2 yellow dye, 2 ink sac, 3 green dye, 4 lapis lazuli, 4 red dye, and 6 bone meal (2 bones).
* The dyed sheep breeding behavior mirrors [[wikipedia:Lamarckism|Lamarck's theory]], in which the organisms evolve inheriting the external changes and adaptations of the previous generation, transmitting them to their offspring.
* In ''Bedrock Edition'', tertiary colors, along with their regular crafting recipes, can be crafted with primary colors. E.g.: Magenta can be crafted with one rose red and two bone meals.
* The colors of the dyes match the chat colors in [[color codes]] except for brown (dye only), light aqua, and gold (color codes only).
* The texture for light blue dye still uses the color from prior to the 1.12 World of Color update.<ref name="unchanged dyes"></ref>
