This article is about the structure. For the block that was required to activate the structure, see Nether Reactor Core.
Nether Reactor Core
This article describes content that has been officially made unobtainable in Bedrock Edition. 
It can still be obtained using third-party software. However, this can cause unexpected behavior such as bugs and crashes.
Information icon
This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition. 

The nether reactor was a player-built structure exclusive to Bedrock Edition which, when activated, a massive structure of netherrack spawned large quantities of normally rare or unobtainable items.

Creation[]

How the blocks were arranged to make a nether reactor.

The reactor was constructed by placing gold blocks, cobblestone, and a nether reactor core in the 3×3×3 arrangement shown to the right. Air blocks were required on the middle and top layers. If the structure was incorrect, attempting to activate the reactor resulted in the client message "Not the correct pattern!".

Activation messages[]

Messages Description
Client message: Active! Activated successfully.
Client message: Not the correct pattern! Cannot activate due to an incorrect structure pattern.
Client message: All players need to be close to the reactor. All players must be close to the reactor to be activated.
Client message: The nether reactor needs to be built lower down. Nether spire cannot be created because the location of the nether reactor is too high.

Behavior[]

Nether Spire

The "Nether spire"

To activate a nether reactor, the following conditions needed to be met:

  • All players were in the range of the reactor's effects on activation.
  • The reactor was built within the valid range (Y: 4–96).
  • The player who activated the reactor was standing level with the structure.

If those conditions were met, tapping the core would activate the reactor, sending the client message "Active!". Immediately after activation, a massive structure of netherrack with multiple rooms, referred to as a Nether spire,[1] was generated around the reactor. The bottom room, which contains the reactor, replaced all blocks other than those of the reactor with air, while blocks in the upper levels remained intact.

Items would begin to spawn within the reactor room, including glowstone dust, nether quartz, cacti, sugar canes, both types of mushrooms, bows, bowls, books, doors, beds, pumpkin seeds, and melon seeds. Zombie pigmen were also able to spawn. During this stage, the blocks that made up the reactor were converted into glowing obsidian, and the core adopted a red texture to symbolize activation. If the player mined the active core, all aspects of the reaction froze.

The reactor cycle would end after 45 seconds, damaging the reactor's structure and changing the world to night. The reactor was replaced with a 3×3×3 box of obsidian containing the core, which adopted a darker, blue-black texture to indicate that the reaction has ended. If the player built a new reactor around the burnt-out core, the netherrack spire would generate, although the rest of the reaction would not take place.

History[]

Pocket Edition Alpha
September 5, 2012Nether Reactor (pre-release) An image of the nether reactor is tweeted by Johan Bernhardsson. At that time, it used iron blocks rather than cobblestone to activate.

A '''minecart with command block''' is an impulse{{only|java|short=y}} or repeating{{only|bedrock|education|short=y}} [[command block]] inside a [[minecart]].

== Obtaining ==

The minecart with command block is obtainable only using the [[command]] {{cmd|give @s command_block_minecart}}, as it does not appear in the creative inventory{{only|BE}} and has no [[crafting]] recipe. It can also be summoned using the command {{cmd|summon command_block_minecart}}. It can be broken like any other minecart, but only the minecart is retained, while the command block is lost.

== Usage ==
{{main|Command Block}}
The minecart with command block combines the functionalities of both minecarts and command blocks. Although the minecart visually contains an impulse command block, it functions more similarly to a repeating command block, and runs its command once every four game [[tick]]s when on an active [[activator rail]]. When it passes over a [[detector rail]] with a [[comparator]] connected next to it, it outputs the command block's result.

== Sounds ==
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Minecarts with command blocks use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.<ref group="sound" name="rollsource">{{bug|MC-42132}}</ref>

'''Fish''' are aquatic creatures that are found in [[river]] and [[ocean]] biomes.

== Mobs ==
There are four categories of fish mobs in ''Minecraft'': 
*{{EntityLink|Cod}}
*{{EntityLink|Salmon}}
*{{EntityLink|Pufferfish}}
*{{EntityLink|Tropical Fish}} - many color and pattern varieties

In addition, there are other fish-like mobs that have different characteristics from fish: {{EntityLink|Axolotl}}, {{EntityLink|Guardian}}, and {{EntityLink|Elder Guardian}}.

==Obtaining and transporting==
A live fish can be captured by using a [[water bucket]] on a fish, to obtain a [[bucket of fish]], which is the only way to obtain the live mob in item form. Using the bucket of fish on a water source block transfers the fish from the bucket to the body of water. A water bucket may also be used on [[axolotl]]s in this manner.

==Items==
Fish exist in several different item forms. Upon death, fish drop their item form equivalent (cooked if on fire), with a chance to drop a [[bone]]{{only|bedrock}} or [[bone meal]].{{only|java}}

== Spawning ==
Various fish can be found in different [[ocean]] [[biomes]], but only [[salmon]] appear in rivers. Fish can also spawn in player-created bodies of water, as long as they are within a river or ocean biome.

In ''Java Edition'', fish can spawn inside a water block at Y-level 50 to 63 (from 13 blocks below sea level up to inside the block one above it), that also has water above and below it. The spawn block and the block below can be any kind of water, such as a source block, falling water, bubble column, kelp, or even a waterlogged block (as long as the fish can be placed at the bottom center of the spawn block without colliding with anything solid). The block above must be pure water, such as a source block, falling water, or flowing water of any depth. Particularly, the block above cannot also be a bubble column, so fish no longer spawn inside bubble elevators.<ref>{{cite bug|MC|244683|Tropical fish spawn in bubble columns (fixed in 22w07a)}}</ref> 

''Bedrock Edition'' does permit fish to spawn in bubble columns.<ref>{{cite bug|MCPE|73967|Squids, Dolphins, and fish not spawning in bubble columns (fixed in 1.16.20)}}</ref>

Fish can spawn between 24 and 64 block spherical range away from the player.{{only|java}} 

=== Despawning ===
As of [[1.16]], fish can despawn at range of 40 blocks or more from the player, and will instantly despawn more than 64 blocks away, except when spawned using a [[bucket of fish]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Golden swords have the highest enchantability, yet the least durability{{Notelist}}

=== Fuel ===
Wooden swords can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per sword.

=== Smelting ingredient ===
{{Smelting|showname=1|Iron Sword;Golden Sword|Iron Nugget;Gold Nugget|0,1}}

=== Piglins ===
[[Piglin]]s are attracted to golden swords, run toward any golden swords on the ground and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their [[inventory]] slot.

=== 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.

'''Feathers''' are items dropped by [[chicken]]s and [[parrot]]s, as well as tamed [[cats]] as morning gifts.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

Adult [[chicken]]s drop 0–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 with Looting III.

[[Parrot]]s drop 1–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–5 with Looting III.

A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding a feather, which always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a [[food]] item, causing the fox to drop the feather in favor of the food.

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|feather}}

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a "morning gift", and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a feather.

== Usage ==

=== Helmet ===
<div style='float:right'></div>
While a feather cannot be equipped in the head slot in [[Survival]] mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear completely upright unlike other items.

{{Item
| image = Clock.gif
| renewable = Yes
| stackable = Yes (64)
}}

'''Clocks''' are [[Daylight cycle|time]]-telling devices that display the current in-game position of the sun and the moon. Clocks only function properly in the [[Overworld]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Crafting ===

{{Crafting
|B1= Gold Ingot
|A2= Gold Ingot
|B2= Redstone Dust
|C2= Gold Ingot
|B3= Gold Ingot
|Output= Clock
|type= Tool
}}

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|clock}}

=== Trading ===

Expert-level [[Trading#Librarian|librarian villagers]] have a {{frac|1|3}} (roughly 33.3%) chance to sell a single clock for 4 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.{{only|bedrock}}

Expert-level librarian villagers have a {{frac|1|2}} (50%) chance to sell a clock for 5 emeralds.{{only|java}}

== Usage ==

[[File:WatchCycle.gif|thumb|Clock animation]]
The clock dial consists of two halves, a day side and a night side. The dial spins clockwise slowly to indicate the time of day, corresponding to the sun or moon's actual position in the sky. The player is able to [[bed|sleep]] a few seconds after the clock shows exactly dusk.

The dial always shows the current in-game time when in the [[Overworld]], regardless of where it appears. This includes a player's hand, an inventory slot, a [[Crafting table|crafting grid]], an [[item frame]], or even as a dropped [[Item (entity)|item]]. For a clock to be mounted on a wall, an [[item frame]] is required.

Because there is no day/night cycle in [[the Nether]] or [[the End]], clocks do not work properly in these dimensions. Instead, the dial rotates rapidly and randomly {{in|JE}} or clockwise {{in|BE}}, making them useless.

=== Piglins ===
{{EntityLink|Piglin|Piglins}} are attracted to clocks and run toward any clock on the ground, and inspect it for 6 to 8 seconds before putting it in their inventory.

=== Texture generation prior to Java Edition 13w02a ===
{{:Procedural animated texture generation/Clocks}}

== Issues ==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia ==
* {{IN|java}}, a clock can be viewed under the item [[statistics]] page as long as one obtained a clock at some point.
* {{IN|java}}, the default resource pack for the clock contains 64 individual frames, each frame lasting about 18.75 seconds in real time (375 ticks) (1350 seconds (22 minutes, 30 seconds) in Minecraft time).
* When the time of day changes suddenly, such as after sleeping or when {{cmd|time}} is used, the clock dial spins rapidly to catch up.
* Although clocks do not function in the Nether or the End, the actual daylight cycle does continue.

A '''head''' or '''skull''' is a [[block]] modeled after the head of a specific [[entity]]. There are seven types of heads: [[player]] ([[Steve]]'s head by default), [[zombie]], [[skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[creeper]], [[piglin]], and [[dragon]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Breaking ===

A mob head can be mined using any item,<ref>{{bug|MC-192905||Heads & Skulls have no assigned tool}}</ref> and drops itself when broken.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mob Head|sprite=Heads}}
If a head is pushed by a [[piston]] or comes in contact with [[water]] or [[lava]], it breaks off as an [[item (entity)|item]].

When destroyed by an [[explosion]], the head ''always'' drops as an item.

===Natural generation===

Dragon heads generate on [[end ships]] found in [[End City|end cities]].

Skeleton skulls can generate in [[ancient cities]], which sometimes generate in the [[deep dark]].

=== Mob loot ===

A [[wither skeleton]] has a 2.5% chance of dropping a wither skeleton skull when killed by a player or a tamed [[wolf]]. The chance is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III. {{IN|bedrock}}, the chance is increased by 2% per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 8.5% with Looting III.

[[Skeleton]], [[wither skeleton]], [[zombie]], [[creeper]] and [[piglin]] heads are always dropped by the respective mob if it dies due to a [[charged creeper]]'s explosion. {{IN|bedrock}}, if multiple mobs are killed by the same charged creeper, all of them drop their heads, however {{in|java}} only one mob selected at random drops its head.<ref>{{bug|MC-63534|||WAI}}</ref> If an [[ender dragon]] or a [[player]] is killed by a charged creeper, it does not drop its head.<ref name=":0">{{bug|MC-132933|||WAI}}</ref>

==Usage ==

===Decoration===

Mob heads can be oriented in 16 different directions on top of a block, and 4 directions on the sides of blocks, similar to [[sign]]s. They can be placed on top of, or beside each other by shift clicking.

When placed and powered by redstone, the piglin and dragon heads plays an animation. The piglin head flaps its ears (2 times per second for the right ear and 2.5 times per second for the left ear) while the dragon head opens and closes its mouth repeatedly (2 times per second). The same animation occurs when worn by a (horizontally) moving player, zombie, skeleton, or [[armor stand]] (note: the animation does not play if the <code>NoGravity</code> tag is set to 1)

=== Wearing ===
{{See also|#Renders}}

The player can wear heads, similarly to [[pumpkin]]s or helmets. This overlays the second layer of the player's [[skin]].

====Disguise====

Wearing the corresponding mob head reduces the detection range for [[skeleton]]s (but not [[wither skeleton]]s), [[creeper]]s, [[zombie]]s, and [[piglin]]s to 50% of the normal range. This is similar to (and stacks with) the reductions in detection range from [[sneaking]] and from the [[Invisibility]] status effect.

{{IN|bedrock}}, wearing any mob head or carved pumpkin makes the player invisible to other players on a locator [[map]].

=== Withers===
{{FakeImage|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Sand|www|sss| s }}|Wither build configuration}}

[[Wither]]s can be spawned by placing soul sand or soul soil in a T shape, and putting 3 wither skeleton skulls on top of the T. The T can be horizontal or vertical. The last block placed must be one of the three wither skeleton skulls. A dispenser can also create a wither, by placing the final skull onto soul sand directly in front of and below it.

===Dispensers===
A [[dispenser]] can equip a mob head on a player, mob, or armor stand with an empty helmet slot, within the block the dispenser is facing.

[[Dispenser]]s can also complete the construction of a wither.

===Enchantments===

Mob heads can receive the following enchantments, but only through an [[anvil]].

=== Note blocks ===
Placing a head above a [[note block]] causes the note block to play the corresponding mob's {{cd|ambient}} sound when activated. The only exception is the creeper head; as creepers don't make {{cd|ambient}} sounds, the note block plays the {{cd|primed}} (hissing) sound instead.

The block below the note block does not affect the mob sound it creates.

==Player skins==
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
Human heads have an extra usage for map makers, they can be given [[Chunk format#Entity Format|NBT data]] so that they appear with the skin of any ''Minecraft'' account. This means if a player knows that a specific account has a head that is desired to display, the NBT data can be edited to make it appear.

The command to give the player a head with the skin of another player is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"<''PlayerName''>"} }}. Commonly, this kind of head is called a custom head. 

Another command to give the player a head with another player's skin is {{cmd|give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:{Id:"<''PlayerUUID''>",Properties:{textures:[{Value:"<''SkinURL''>"}]} } } }}. ''SkinURL'' is a string encoded in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 Base64] containing the URL of the player's skin.<ref>Example: {"textures":{"SKIN":{"url":"http://textures.minecraft.net/texture/292009a4925b58f02c77dadc3ecef07ea4c7472f64e0fdc32ce5522489362680"}}}</ref> A player head saves the skin of the player from the time it was created, meaning if the player changes their skin, the head still displays the original texture.<ref>{{tweet|Dinnerbone|464414369452142592|Skulls are a snapshot of the skin as it was made; just change your skin, make a skull, and change your skin back. That's intended behaviour.|May 8, 2014}}</ref>

Note that it is therefore necessary to be connected to the internet to load the texture of a skin, whatever the property used.
When they are loaded for the first time by the client, the skins textures are cached in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolders)\(files)}}.
If the client does not have access to the internet when it first loads, the player's head displays a regular head (Steve's skin) which is also cached.
Afterwards, even if the client reconnects to the internet, in order to display the skin correctly, it is necessary to clear the cache manually by deleting the recently created files in {{code|[[.minecraft]]\assets\skins\(subfolder)}}, then restarting the game.

When NBT-customized heads (with names and lores) are placed on the ground, they lose their names and given lores upon picking up. Therefore, using Ctrl + {{ctrl|pick block}} on a custom player head gives the player a head that still retains its textures, but with no lores and its name is reset to either {{code|[PlayerName]'s Head}} (heads obtained by MHF-Marc's Head Format or existing players in the world) or {{code|Player Head}} (heads obtained by using skin URLs).

=== Marc's Head Format===
[[File:Allmobheads.png|thumb|right|Most of the MHF mob heads provided.]]

{{exclusive|Java|section=1}}

[[Marc Watson]] created a number of accounts with specific skins so map makers could use common heads without the risk of someone changing their skins.<ref>{{reddit|1m0itx/twitter_marc_irl_mapmakers_would_it_be_useful|cc4m1cq|I'm here to make it so that people don't have to worry about having a consistent account whose skin might change.|Marc_IRL|September 9, 2013}}</ref> Nowadays, since heads do not update the skin if a player changes their skin, this is not something map-makers need to worry about, though these skins are still useful. These accounts have names in the format <code>MHF_<''Name''></code>, for example <code>MHF_PigZombie</code> is the name of a ''Minecraft'' user with a [[zombified piglin]] head. MHF stands for "Marc's Head Format".<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|377453670410891264|head format. I needed to pick a prefix that was short and not already taken by other usernames.|September 10, 2013}}</ref> There are also a few blocks and "bonus" heads, for more variety. These player heads have not been updated in compliance with the [[Texture Update]], and are outdated.

Because these are names of player accounts, these heads are obtained or placed using the <code>SkullOwner</code> tag, for instance: {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:player_head{SkullOwner:"MHF_''<Name>''"}<nowiki />}}.

The following names/heads have been made available:<ref>{{tweet|Marc_IRL|542330244473311232|For those following the MHF list, I have presents for you. Full list of accounts I've made: http://pastebin.com/5mug6EBu|December 9, 2014}}</ref>

==Issues==

{{issue list}}

== Trivia==
* Despite there being a default Steve head, heads for the other protagonist skins cannot be obtained without using custom names.
*{{IN|be}}, the skull variant for the item is stored under the {{cd|damage}} component, normally used for items with [[durability]].
*The head item's model when wore on a player is slightly larger than its placed block counterpart in the world, which in turn is also slightly larger than the actual player's head. Therefore, a player who wears their own head appears with a larger head.

Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]].

==Obtaining==
A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each.

{{Stonecutting
|head=1
|showdescription=1
|Name Tag
|Name, 16; Tag, 16
|description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]].
}}
{{Stonecutting
|showdescription=
|Name; Tag
|Bit, 16
|foot=1
}}

To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits.

A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible.

"Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]].

"Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named.

All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: 
*A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags.
**An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>.
*A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>.
**Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags.
**An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>.
**"Name" items cannot be used in a List.

The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want.

==Usage==
Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]].

In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements.

In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist.

==Trivia==
*This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit.
*Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data.
*The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}.

'''Lingering potions''' are variants of [[splash potion]]s that can be thrown to leave clouds with [[status effect]]s that linger on the ground in an area. 

== Obtaining ==

=== Brewing ===
{{main|Brewing}}

{{brewing
  |Dragon's Breath
  |Any Lingering Potion
  |ingredients=[[Dragon's Breath]] + <br>Any [[Splash Potion]]
}}

== Usage ==

=== Creating area effect clouds ===
Lingering potions are thrown, like [[splash potion]]s, by {{control|using}} them. On impact they explode, creating a cloud. The cloud is made of the potion particles corresponding to the potion that was thrown.  

The cloud starts with a radius of 3 blocks, decreasing to 0 over the course of 30 seconds. During the cloud's existence, any player or mob that walks into it after the first second gets the corresponding status effect; this decreases the radius by a {{frac|1|2}} block immediately, reducing the cloud's lifespan by 5 seconds.

For effects with duration, the duration applied by the cloud is {{frac|1|4}} that of the corresponding [[potion]]. For effects without duration such as healing or harming, the potency of the effect is {{frac|1|2}} that of the corresponding potion.

The effect may be applied consecutively if the player or mob remains in the cloud. For example, a player throwing the Lingering Potion of Healing II straight down consumes the cloud within a few seconds while being healed 5 times for a total of {{hp|20}} health. As far as healing is concerned, this makes the lingering potion much more powerful than the regular or splash potion, provided that the player is away from other mobs or players.

Lingering potions can also be thrown out of [[dispenser]]s like splash potions.

=== Lingering water bottle ===
Like the [[Splash potion#Splash water bottles|splash water bottle]], a lingering water bottle puts out fire and damages endermen and blazes by {{hp|1}}. It creates no effect cloud.

==== Mud ====

Lingering water bottles can be {{control|used}} on [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], or [[rooted dirt]] to turn it into [[mud]].

=== Crafting ingredient ===

{{crafting usage|Lingering Potion, Lingering Water Bottle|match=any}}

=== Filling cauldrons ===

{{IN|bedrock}}, using a lingering potion on a cauldron adds one level of that potion to the cauldron. Attempting to add a lingering potion to a cauldron with water, dyed water or a non-matching potion empties the cauldron and creates an explosion sound (but no actual explosion).

=== Uncraftable lingering potion ===

{{IN|java}}, the uncraftable potion is a splash potion with no effect that is unobtainable in regular gameplay. It is also available in potion and splash potion forms, as well as for tipped arrows.

It can be obtained using the following command: {{cmd|give @s minecraft:lingering_potion{Potion:"minecraft:empty"} }}. It is also obtained any time a potion has invalid or missing potion effect tags, and thus serves as a placeholder.

build 1The nether reactor's functionality has been removed with the addition of the Nether. While the nether reactor blocks still exist, they serve no purpose other than decoration.

Trivia[]

  • The spire was composed of over 25 stacks worth of netherrack.
  • Excluding the core, any part of the reactor could be mined after activation and it would still function. This way, the player could recycle the expensive gold blocks. It was possible to recover all 4 blocks provided the player worked quickly.
  • Because the spire could not replace blocks past the world border, when the reactor was activated near the edge of old worlds the player would be able to see the time set to night.
  • If the nether reactor core was mined out while the nether reactor is active, the glowing obsidian would not turn into obsidian after the reactor deactivates. This also caused the reactor to stop spawning items and zombie pigmen, and make the day/night cycle freeze at nighttime for several in-game days.
