See Category:Items for a list of pages relating to this topic.

An item is an object that can exist within inventories of players, mobs or armor stands; in various storage blocks (like chests or droppers), as well as in item frames, glow item frames, and shelves.

Behavior

Some items when used, place a block (ItemBlock) or entity (minecart, spawn eggs, etc.) version of themselves into the game world. Put simply, they are an item when in the inventory, and a block when placed. For example, boats turn into an entity when placed, and beds turn into a group of blocks when placed. When selected in the hotbar, items briefly display their names above the HUD.

The only methods by which an item can be properly displayed within the game environment is to place it into an item frame, shelf, or armor stand. Displayed items, either on these blocks, the hand (both third-person and first-person), or thrown, are rendered in-game with MERS texture sets with Vibrant Visuals, and can show shadows, reflections, or caustics. Various items have emissive lighting and glow in the dark.

Thrown items

If an item that does not become a block is dropped, it becomes an entity represented by a sprite that floats above the ground. It remains for 5 minutes in a loaded chunk before despawning (except for the Nether star), unless the player walks over it to pick it up, it is picked up by a mob, hopper or minecart with hopper, or it is destroyed by fire, lava, cactus, explosion, void, or /kill.

Dropped netherite items cannot be destroyed by fire or lava, and dropped Nether stars cannot be destroyed by explosions.

A submerged object ascends toward the water's surface. If the water is flowing, the object is pushed along with it.

Hoppers draw in any items that are placed above them if they are not powered by redstone.

  1. Yaw and pitch follow the Minecraft's convention, thus zero yaw is directed at +Z (south) and looking upwards corresponds to negative values of pitch.

Stacking

Items can either stack up to 64 or 16, or not stack at all:

Lists of items

In the game

Items that create blocks, fluids or entities

Items that directly correspond to blocks
Technical blocks
Main article: Technical blocks

Technical blocks serve various purposes during events within the game, or use a separate name spaced ID in order to avoid unnecessary combinations of block states. In Java Edition technical blocks do not exist as items, while in Bedrock Edition they may be obtained using inventory editors or add-ons.


Items with use in the world

These items, when highlighted in a player's hotbar (or "held"), in the off hand, or equipped in an armor slot, can be used by either attack or use, or can serve a specific purpose (for example, offer the player advantage or disadvantage). Some can be used any time, others only when aiming at specific blocks or entities.

Items with indirect use in the world

The player cannot interact with or directly use these items; however, they are used for trading, brewing, enchanting, or crafting ingredients for other items that do have direct uses. Clocks and recovery compasses are exceptions, as they merely serve an informative function (although clocks also attract piglins as a dropped item entity).

Spawn eggs

Spawn eggs spawn the entity inside them. They cannot be obtained in Survival mode.

Minecraft Education items

These items are exclusive to Minecraft Education and Bedrock Edition when the "Minecraft Education features" cheat setting is enabled. The portfolio is exclusive to Minecraft Education, and the poster, slate, and camera are obtainable in Bedrock Edition only through inventory editing or add-ons. The garbage item is obtainable only through invalid lab table recipes or via inventory editing.

Blocks


Unimplemented items

Some items are unimplemented, or have been mentioned to be implemented in the future.

Removed items

Removed items no longer exist in current versions of the game.

Blocks

==== Outright removed blocks ====

These blocks were removed from the game entirely.

==== Removed through substitution ====

These blocks were "retconned" into other blocks through a major simultaneous name and texture change.

==== Non-standard metadata variants ====

Some blocks and states of blocks were distinguished via numerical metadata in previous versions of the game. Having metadata values outside of the accepted range could produce unintended results for some block IDs.


Joke items

Joke items are present only in April Fools' Day joke versions in the game.

Blocks

These blocks only exist in April Fools' Day joke versions of the game.


Display of items

By entities

Mobs and some other entities are capable of holding items as well as having them equipped in certain slots; in some cases, this results in the item being visually represented. A table of mobs that do this is as follows.

Note that this does not count equipment, which uses a separate system.

Item shading

Image
This section is missing information about:
  • what happens if you force an item to use a block model, or a block to use an item model, before 1.15.2-pre1
  • investigate flat 2D items since they appear shaded wrongly in recent versions as well as b1.8pre-12w32a
  • should we check to see if other version ranges have differences in item rendering between player inventories, block inventories, the hotbar, and so on?
 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

3D items in the inventory, i.e. that of blocks, are often displayed as those models rather than as flat graphics. The appearance of these items is affected by shading, which has changed by default throughout game versions, and can be changed inside of the model via the "gui_light" parameter. The default for 3D items is "side", whereas the default for flat items is "front".

The following tables show the results of using a solid white texture, assuming the default windowed resolution of 854x480.

Inventory items

From Beta 1.8 Pre-release to 12w32a, items in the inventory would render darker than they would in the hotbar or in chests. It is not known why this was the case. Both 3D and flat items were affected. This was ultimately fixed in 12w34a.

Rotated block items

In 1.8 snapshots 14w10a to 14w21b, certain items with usually-unattainable damage values (specifically rotated logs, hay bales and quartz pillars) would have their shade intensity per block face cycled around in a different way from other block-items. The level of shading is still the same as typical blocks in this version range, simply with a 90-degree rotation in 3D, manifesting as either a 120-degree reflection alone or one with a horizontal flip in 2D.
