Data values

This article is about data values found in the latest unmodified PC version of Minecraft. For data values found in Classic, see Data values (Classic). For data values found in Pocket Edition, see Data values (Pocket Edition).

These data values refer to the different types of blocks and items. They are used in many, many places in Minecraft. Block IDs are used to define blocks placed in the world and inventory items (including items in chests and items dropped in the world). Item IDs are only valid for items. Each inventory slot has a unique slot number. Block data further defines blocks placed, describing for example the height of water or the direction a torch points.

Item IDs

All items have values above 255, making it easy to separate the Block IDs from the Item IDs. Entries marked with a ^D require additional data to fully define the item in a world. The chainmail set is currently obtainable in Survival mode via Villager trading, rare mob drop (armored zombie), hacking, or the /give server command. It is available in Creative mode normally.

Biome IDs

Biomes have been present in Minecraft since the Halloween Update, and the Biome ID is included in the Anvil file format since Template:Verlink. The Biome ID for worlds stored in the older McRegion file format is calculated on the fly, which could lead to a discrepancy between the earlier generated world, and the features (such as grass color, snow) based on the calculated biome IDs.

Wood Planks

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0 || Oak Wood Planks
|| 1 || Spruce Wood Planks
|| 2 || Birch Wood Planks
|| 3 || Jungle Wood Planks

Saplings

The data value is split in half. The bottom two bits determine the type of sapling (and thus the eventual tree type), according to the following table:

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0 || Oak Sapling
|| 1 || Spruce Sapling
|| 2 || Birch Sapling
|| 3 || Jungle Sapling

The 0x8 bits function as the counter. The third bit (0x4) is unused. The counter is cleared when a saplings is dropped as an item.

Water and Lava

If bit 0x8 is set, this liquid is "falling" and only spreads downward. At this level, the lower bits are essentially ignored, since this block is then at its highest fluid level.

The lower three bits are the fluid block's level. 0x0 is the highest fluid level (not necessarily filling the block - this depends on the neighboring fluid blocks above each upper corner of the block). Data values increase as the fluid level of the block drops: 0x1 is next highest, 0x2 lower, on through 0x7, the lowest fluid level. Along a line on a flat plane, water drops one level per meter from the source, lava drops two.

The stationary versions of each fluid are "stable" and currently not being checked by the engine for further level changes.

Wood

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0 || Oak wood
|| 1 || Spruce wood
|| 2 || Birch wood
|| 3 || Jungle wood

There is also 2 bits for rotated wood:

• 0x4: Pointing East-West
• 0x8: Pointing North-South
• 0xC: Directionless; all 6 faces have the appropriate identical bark texture

Leaves

If bit 0x4 is set, the leaves are permanent and will never decay. This bit is set on player-placed leaf blocks and overrides the meaning of bit 0x8.

If bit 0x8 is set, the leaves will be checked for decay. The bit will be cleared after the check if the leaves do not decay. The bit will be set again whenever a block adjacent to the leaves is changed.

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0 || Oak leaves
|| 1 || Pine/Spruce leaves
|| 2 || Birch leaves
|| 3 || Jungle leaves

Wool

These values specify the color of the wool. This data is stored in block metadata for placed wool, and as the "damage" for wool in the inventory.

Icon	Dec	Hex	Description
|| 0 || 0x0 || Regular wool (white)
|| 1 || 0x1 || Orange
|| 2 || 0x2 || Magenta
|| 3 || 0x3 || Light Blue
|| 4 || 0x4 || Yellow
|| 5 || 0x5 || Lime
|| 6 || 0x6 || Pink
|| 7 || 0x7 || Gray
|| 8 || 0x8 || Light Gray
|| 9 || 0x9 || Cyan
|| 10 || 0xA || Purple
|| 11 || 0xB || Blue
|| 12 || 0xC || Brown
|| 13 || 0xD || Green
|| 14 || 0xE || Red
|| 15 || 0xF || Black

Torches and Redstone Torches

• 0x1: Pointing Template:F
• 0x2: Pointing Template:F
• 0x3: Pointing Template:F
• 0x4: Pointing Template:F
• 0x5: Standing on the floor
• 0x6: Standing in ground

Slabs and Double Slabs

For both slabs and double slabs, the lower three bits of the metadata nybble determine the texture:

Stone Slabs

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0x0 || Stone Slab
|| 0x1 || Sandstone Slab
|| 0x2 || Wooden Slab
|| 0x3 || Cobblestone Slab
|| 0x4 || Brick Slab
|| 0x5 || Stone Brick Slab
|| 0x6 || Nether Brick Slab
|| 0x7 || Quartz Slab
|| 0x8 || Smooth Stone Slab (Double Only)
|| 0x9 || Smooth Sandstone Slab (Double Only)
|| 0x15 || Tile Quartz Slab (Double Only) (Note the underside)

Wooden Slabs

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0x0 || Oak Wood Slab
|| 0x1 || Spruce Wood Slab
|| 0x2 || Birch Wood Slab
|| 0x3 || Jungle Wood Slab

Slabs can be either "right-side-up" or "upside-down"; this information is stored in the most significant metadata bit 0x8 as follows:

• 0: Slab is right-side-up, occupying the bottom half of its voxel.
• 1: Slab is upside-down, occupying the top half of its voxel.

Thus a right-side-up birch wood slab has metadata value 0x2 (binary 0010), while an upside-down birch slab is represented by metadata 0xA (binary 1010).

Double slabs with the high-order bit set render the top texture on all six sides.

Upside-down slabs were implemented in Weekly Release 12w08a and introduced officially in Minecraft 1.2. Brick slabs and stone brick slabs were added in Beta 1.8.

Wooden slabs as a separate block with wooden properties, rather than a retextured stone slab, was introduced in Weekly Release 12w17a, with each of the four plank types included. The wooden stone slab is still available through inventory hacks or the /give command.

Fire

0x0 is a placed or spread fire. Once it reaches 0xF the eternal fire-trick will work since there will be no further updates of the block.

Sandstone

For normal sandstone the bottom has a cracked pattern. The other types of sandstone have bottom faces same as the tops.

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0x0 || Normal
|| 0x1 || Chiseled
|| 0x2 || Smooth

Beds

• 0x0: Head is pointing Template:F
• 0x1: Head is pointing Template:F
• 0x2: Head is pointing Template:F
• 0x3: Head is pointing Template:F

• 0x4: (bit flag) - When 0, the bed is empty. When 1, the bed is occupied.
• 0x8: (bit flag) - When 0, the foot of the bed. When 1, the head of the bed.

Grass

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0x0 || Shrub (identical in appearance to block Dead Bush when placed, but acts like grass or fern)
|| 0x1 || Grass
|| 0x2 || Fern

Piston

The top bit (0x8) is a status bit that determines whether the piston is pushed out or not. 1 for pushed out, 0 for retracted.

The bottom three bits are a value from 0 to 5, indicating the direction of the piston (the direction the piston head is pointing)

• 0: Down
• 1: Up
• 2: Template:F
• 3: Template:F
• 4: Template:F
• 5: Template:F

Piston Extension

The top bit (0x8) is a status bit that determines whether the head is sticky or not (note that the Piston Body actually has completely different block types for Sticky and Regular). 1 is sticky, 0 is regular.

The bottom three bits are a value from 0 to 5, indicating the direction of the piston (the direction the piston head is pointing).

• 0: Down
• 1: Up
• 2: Template:F
• 3: Template:F
• 4: Template:F
• 5: Template:F

Stairs

• 0x0: Ascending Template:F
• 0x1: Ascending Template:F
• 0x2: Ascending Template:F
• 0x3: Ascending Template:F

Starting in Minecraft 1.2 (actually weekly 12w08a), the bit at 0x4 is used as follows:

• 0: Stairs are regular
• 1: Stairs are upside down

Redstone Wire

0xF is a wire placed right next to a power source (like a redstone torch). The value declines with distance until 0x0, which is a non-powered wire. The direction of the wire is not saved but calculated at runtime.

Crops

Crops grow from 0x0 to 0x7. Carrots and potatoes appear to have 4 stages, but actually grow identically to wheat, merely using the same texture for multiple stages.

Wheat Icon Value || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7

Carrots Icon Value || 0, 1 || 2, 3 || 4, 5, 6 || 7

Potatoes Icon Value || 0, 1 || 2, 3 || 4, 5, 6 || 7

Farmland

0x0 is dry land, 0x1-0x8 are increasing levels of wetness. The wetness value depends on how far the block is away from water.

Sign Posts

• 0x0: Template:F
• 0x1: Template:F-Template:F
• 0x2: Template:F
• 0x3: Template:F-Template:F
• 0x4: Template:F
• 0x5: Template:F-Template:F
• 0x6: Template:F

• 0xB: Template:F-Template:F
• 0xC: Template:F
• 0xD: Template:F-Template:F
• 0xE: Template:F
• 0xF: Template:F-Template:F

Door

Minecraft 1.1 and Earlier

The two least significant bits are the orientation of the door, that is, the corner in which its hinge is positioned:

• 0x0: Template:F corner
• 0x1: Template:F corner
• 0x2: Template:F corner
• 0x3: Template:F corner

The two bits above are flags:

• 0x8: If this bit is set, this is the top half of a door (else the lower half).
• 0x4: If this bit is set, the door has swung counterclockwise around its hinge.

For example, the bottom half of a door with its hinge on the Template:F corner, which is swung so that it is closed when viewed from the Template:F, will have a data value of (3 | 4) = (3 + 4) = 7.

Starting at Minecraft 1.2 (from weekly snapshot 12w06a)

File:12w06a-doors-idx.png

Graphic of possible door data values in 12w06a

The total data needed to accurately describe a single door tile is now contained in both door tiles, so both data values have to be inspected.

Common to both door tiles, the top bit (0x8) is as follows:

• 0: The bottom half of the door
• 1: The top half of the door

Top Sections

The least-significant bit (0x1) is as follows, assuming you're facing the same direction the door faces while closed:

• 0: Hinge is on the right (this is the default for single doors)
• 1: Hinge is on the left (this will be used for the other half of a double-door combo)

The other two bits (0x2 and 0x4) are always zero.

The only valid values for a top section, therefore, are 8 (binary 1000) and 9 (binary 1001).

Bottom Sections

The second bit (0x4) determines the door's state:

• 0: Closed
• 1: Open

The bottom two bits determine which direction the door faces (these directions given for which direction the door faces while closed)

• 0: Facing Template:F
• 1: Facing Template:F
• 2: Facing Template:F
• 3: Facing Template:F

Rails

Regular Minecart rails use values above 0x5 for the corner pieces. For powered rails, 0x8 is a bit flag; if set, the rail is powered. The bottom three bits have a valid range of 0x0 to 0x5.

• 0x0: flat track going Template:F-Template:F
• 0x1: flat track going Template:F-Template:F
• 0x2: track ascending to the Template:F
• 0x3: track ascending to the Template:F
• 0x4: track ascending to the Template:F
• 0x5: track ascending to the Template:F

Regular minecart tracks can make a circle from four rails:

• 0x6: Template:F corner (connecting Template:F and Template:F)
• 0x7: Template:F corner (connecting Template:F and Template:F)
• 0x8: Template:F corner (connecting Template:F and Template:F)
• 0x9: Template:F corner (connecting Template:F and Template:F)

Ladders, Wall Signs, Furnaces, and Chests

• 0x2: Facing Template:F (for ladders and signs, attached to the Template:F side of a block)
• 0x3: Facing Template:F
• 0x4: Facing Template:F
• 0x5: Facing Template:F

Dispensers, Droppers, and Hoppers

Same as ladders, signs, etc. above and additionally:

• 0x0: Facing Down
• 0x1: Facing Up (or unattached to any container for Hoppers)

Levers

• 0x8: If this bit is set, the lever has been thrown and is providing power.

Wall levers:

• 0x1: Facing Template:F
• 0x2: Facing Template:F
• 0x3: Facing Template:F
• 0x4: Facing Template:F

Ground levers:

• 0x5: Lever points Template:F when off.
• 0x6: Lever points Template:F when off. (Note that unlike the other types of switch, this version didn't power wires around the block it was sitting on. This bug was fixed in Beta 1.6)

Ceiling levers:

• 0x7: Lever points Template:F when off.
• 0x0: Lever points Template:F when off.

Pressure Plates

• 0x1: If this bit is set, the plate is pressed.

Buttons

• 0x8 If this bit is set, the button has been pressed. If this bit is set in a saved level, the button will remain pressed for an undefined length of time after the level is loaded.

Button direction:

• 0x1: Facing Template:F
• 0x2: Facing Template:F
• 0x3: Facing Template:F
• 0x4: Facing Template:F

Snow

File:Snow heights.png

Heights of snow from 0-7, going from left to right

• 0x0: Normal snowfall height
• ...
• 0x7: Full block size height

Cactus

0x0 is a freshly planted cactus. The data value is incremented at random intervals. When it becomes 15, a new cactus block is created on top as long as the total height does not exceed 3, but it can spawn randomly up to 5 blocks high from glitches.

Sugar Cane

0x0 is a freshly planted cane. The data value is incremented at random intervals. When it becomes 15, a new sugar cane block is created on top as long as the total height does not exceed 3.

• 0x0: 1 tick delay
• 0x1: 2 tick delay
• 0x2: 3 tick delay
• 0x3: 4 tick delay

Trapdoors

0x4 is a bit that determines whether or not the trapdoor is swung open. 0 for closed (on the ground), 1 for open (against its connecting wall). 0x8 is a bit that determines whether the trapdoor is on the bottom or top of the block. The remaining two bits describe which wall the trapdoor is attached to:

• 0x0: Attached to the Template:F wall
• 0x1: Attached to the Template:F wall
• 0x2: Attached to the Template:F wall
• 0x3: Attached to the Template:F wall

Monster Egg

A silverfish will hide inside a Stone, Cobblestone, or Stone Brick block, changing it into a Monster Egg block. The data value tells us its appearance:

• 0: Stone
• 1: Cobblestone
• 2: Stone Brick

Stone Brick

Icon	Value	Description
|| 0x0 || Normal
|| 0x1 || Mossy
|| 0x2 || Cracked
|| 0x3 || Chiseled

Huge brown and red mushroom

Huge mushrooms consist of the same blocks throughout their structure, the data value of each block decides the texture. The default texture on all sides is porous flesh. The cap texture can be either the brown mushroom or red mushroom texture, the textures for porous and stem sides are identical.

Value	Description	Textures
0	Fleshy piece	Pores on all sides
1	Corner piece	Cap texture on top, Template:F and Template:F
2	Side piece	Cap texture on top and Template:F
3	Corner piece	Cap texture on top, Template:F and Template:F
4	Side piece	Cap texture on top and Template:F
5	Top piece	Cap texture on top
6	Side piece	Cap texture on top and Template:F
7	Corner piece	Cap texture on top, Template:F and Template:F
8	Side piece	Cap texture on top and Template:F
9	Corner piece	Cap texture on top, Template:F and Template:F
10	Stem piece	Stem texture on all four sides, pores on top and bottom
14	All Cap	Cap texture on all six sides
15	All stem	Stem texture on all six sides

Pumpkin stem and Melon stem

Pumpkin and melon stems grow from 0x0 to 0x7; however, world editors can force in stems up to 0x15. During each stage of growth a part of their model is revealed. In the last stage a stem can spawn a melon or pumpkin next to it on empty dirt, grass or farmland. As long as this fruit remains the stem will appear bent towards the fruit.

Vines

Determines the face against which the vine is anchored. Note that (except for Top) these are testable as bit flags, unlike most of the other directional data for other block types. Multiple sides can contain vines. The "top" attachment is assumed to be present if data is 0 or there is solid block above.

• 1: Template:F
• 2: Template:F
• 4: Template:F
• 8: Template:F

Fence Gates

File:Fence gate orientation bits.png

The left circle was opened from the outside, the right one from the inside. Facing directions: Red = North; Green = East; Yellow = South; Blue = West

0x4 is a bit that determines whether the fence gate is open or closed. 1 is open, 0 is closed. The remaining two bits (0x3) describe in which direction the gate is facing. The fence gate swings open away from you. The direction in which you are looking when you stand in front of the open fence gate is the direction in which the gate is facing.
The facing-bit directions are:

• 0: To the Template:F
• 1: To the Template:F
• 2: To the Template:F
• 3: To the Template:F

Nether Wart

Like Crops, the data value is related to the size of the Nether Wart. There are three distinct visual stages to Nether Wart's growth (the associated data values are given):

Icon	Value
|| 0
|| 1-2
|| 3

Brewing Stand

The bottom three bits are bit flags for which bottle slots actually contain bottles. The actual bottle contents (and the reagent at the top) are stored in a TileEntity for this block, not in the data field.

• 0x1: The slot pointing Template:F
• 0x2: The slot pointing Template:F
• 0x4: The slot pointing Template:F

Cauldron

The data value stores the amount of water kept in the cauldron, in units of glass bottles that can be filled.

• 0: Empty
• 1: 1/3 filled
• 2: 2/3 filled
• 3: Fully filled

End Portal block

The bottom two bits determine which "side" of the whole portal frame this block is a part of. To make the frame activate, each of the portal frame blocks in the pattern must "face" toward the middle. Since the image is near-symmetrical, it is difficult to tell which direction an individual block is actually facing, but if the block isn't facing in that direction and that is the last frame block where the Eye of Ender is placed, the frame won't activate.

Direction vectors for the blocks are the following:

• 0: To the Template:F
• 1: To the Template:F
• 2: To the Template:F
• 3: To the Template:F

0x4 is a bit flag: 0 is an "empty" frame block, 1 is a block with an Eye of Ender inserted.

Cocoas

The top two bits, 0xC, specify the size of the plant.

• 0x0: small
• 0x4: medium
• 0x8: large

Combination 0xC (both bits set) is not used, and results in a cocoa pod which is larger than the normal largest one, and uses the enderdragon egg texture.

The bottom two bits define which direction the plant is facing out, i.e. to what side of the tree the plant is attached.

• 0x0: Facing Template:F (i.e., attached to the Template:F side of the tree)
• 0x1: Facing Template:F
• 0x2: Facing Template:F
• 0x3: Facing Template:F

Tripwire Hook

• 0x4: This bit means the tripwire hook is connected and ready to trip ("middle" position)
• 0x8: This bit means the tripwire hook is currently activated ("down" position)

An activated hook will normally have a value of 0xC, meaning "connected" and "activated".

The two low bits determine to which wall the hook is attached:

• 0x0: Facing Template:F
• 0x1: Facing Template:F
• 0x2: Facing Template:F
• 0x3: Facing Template:F

Tripwire

• 0x4: This bit means the tripwire as a whole has been activated.
• 0x1: This bit means some object is on this particular piece of tripwire.

So, unactivated tripwire has a value of 0x0.

Connection is determined by the neighboring tripwire, similar to redstone wiring.

Data values determine the block placement:

• 0x1: On the floor (rotation is stored in the tile entity)
• 0x2: On a wall, facing Template:F
• 0x3: On a wall, facing Template:F
• 0x4: On a wall, facing Template:F

0x1 is the bit that determines whether the anvil is orientated in a north-south (0) or a west-east (1) direction. 0x4 and 0x8 are bits which determine whether the the anvil is a regular (0x4 & 0x8 = 0), a slightly damaged (0x4 = 1) or a very damaged (0x8 = 1) one.

Potions

A Glass Bottle filled with a potion. Potion type is stored in item's damage value as a 16-bit number. Potion effect, name, and other flags are encoded on bits. Effect duration itself isn't there, but can be calculated from other values.

Current meaning of bits is described below. Note that potion name overlaps with potion effect and tier.

Bit	Dec	Hex	Meaning
0	1	0001	Potion effect	Potion name
1	2	0002
2	4	0004
3	8	0008
4	16	0010
5	32	0020	Tier
6	64	0040	Extended duration
7	128	0080	(ignored)
8	256	0100
9	512	0200
10	1024	0400
11	2048	0800
12	4096	1000
13	8192	2000
14	16384	4000	Splash potion
15	32768	8000	(ignored)

To calculate damage value of potion with desired effect use the following formula:

DV = potion_effect + tier_bit + extended_bit + splash_bit

for example:

• potion with "Instant Health" effect has damage value 5 (= 5 + 0 + 0 + 0);
• potion with extended "Slowness" effect has value 74 (= 10 + 0 + 64 + 0);
• splash potion with tier II "Strength" effect has value 16425 (= 9 + 32 + 0 + 16384).

To get potion with certain name, use the following formula:

DV = potion_name + extended_bit + splash_bit

for example:

• Splash version of "Charming Potion" has damage value 16423 (= 39 + 0 + 16384)

Trivia

• When generating a custom superflat world using biome ID -1, the game will crash.
• Using /give command or inventory editors, an item can be spawned with its data value out of normal bounds. This can cause a normal looking item to appear, but will be unusable and unstackable with an identical item that has a different data value. In the case of Wool colors, data values "rotate" when out of bounds. Examples are provided:
  • Example 1 - Stacking: If the player were to type /give <PLAYERNAME> 351 1 1, an Ink Sac would be given to the player like normal. However, if the player were to type /give <PLAYERNAME> 351 1 -4 afterward, another Ink Sac would be given, but it won't stack with the first Ink Sac, because the two Ink Sacs have different data values, despite the fact that both items appear to be the same thing.
  • Example 2 - Value Defaults: Using the /give command to spawn an item with data values that are out of valid bounds will "default" to the lowest or highest valid data value closest to it. Typing /give <PLAYERNAME> 351 1 -23 will spawn an Ink Sac, due to -23 being closest to 0, the lowest possible valid data value for dye, being the Ink Sac. Typing /give <PLAYERNAME> 351 1 43 will spawn Bone Meal, because 43 is closest to the dye's highest valid data value, being 15, which is what Bone Meal is.
  • Example 3 - Non-usable: Note that the valid data values for dye are between the numbers 0 and 15. Any type of dye that's spawned with an data value lower than 0 or higher than 15 cannot be used. So if one is using the /give command to spawn a dye with an data value of 32, which would spawn Bone Meal, the said Bone Meal can not be used to mix with other dyes or be used as a quick plant growing agent.
  • Example 4 - Rotation: data value rotation has been confirmed for Wool, but only the colors seem to rotate. Using a Wool data value of 16 (when the highest is 15) (fun fact: the wool data value of 16 is shown as nether warts, but when placed by the player it becomes white wool) will "circle back" to white wool, which is 0. Using an data value of 18 will circle back to Magenta Wool, because 18 is 3 integers higher than the max of 15, it will circle back to 0, but the extra 3 bumps it to the data value of 2. Despite this, the unstacking data value issue still remains.
