Contents 1 which is mined by a player, destroyed by an explosion (depending on the explosion power, a certain proportion of blocks do not drop as items), or washed away by water (note if there is an explosion with an item entity within the blast radius the entity has a 90% chance to disappear).
• A block which finds itself in an inappropriate location:
  • A block attached to another block which was removed (such as a torch Torch Transparency Yes Luminance 14 Blast resistance 0 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data value dec: 50 hex: 32 bin: 110010 Name torch See the common light-emitting torch. , ladder Ladder Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 2 Tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Drops Itself Data value dec: 65 hex: 41 bin: 1000001 Name ladder “ Sometimes the fans are right, too.

Items cannot be attacked (by players or mobs); attempting to do so simply hits what is behind them. Be that as it may, they may take damage and disappear from environmental or block-based effects such as explosions A TNT explosion.

Items have essentially no health, so they are destroyed by the slightest damage. The one exception is fire damage from lava; they may burn briefly before disappearing in that case.

If an item is within an opaque block, then: If it is surrounded on all sides by opaque blocks, it will fly out of the top of the block. Otherwise it will fly out one of the unobstructed sides. Note that it will do this even if the space below is unoccupied; therefore, it is possible to recover an item dropped by breaking a hole in a floor by quickly placing another block there.

When an item comes within one block of a player whose inventory is not full, it flies quickly toward them — regardless of any intervening blocks — and when it reaches them it is added to their inventory, with a “pop” sound. If the item appears in their hotbar, then the hotbar item is briefly animated with a distortion effect. Unlike experience orbs Experience First appearances See History Internal ID PC: 2 PE: 69 Network ID PC: none Entity ID xp_orb XP bar visible above hotbar. Experience (EXP or XP for short) can be obtained by gathering experience , arbitrary numbers of items can be picked up instantaneously. If the player was already within pickup distance when the item was dropped (commonly because that player just dropped it), it may not fly until the player moves slightly. When the player is about 16 blocks from an item, the item visually disappears.

Items despawn after 6000 game ticks Nearly all video games (including Minecraft) are driven by one big program loop. Just as every gear in a clock is synchronized with the pendulum, every task involved in advancing a game simulation is synchronized (5 minutes) of being in a loaded chunk Visualization of the ground portion of a single chunk. The entire chunk extends up to a height of 256. Chunks are 16 × 16 × 256 segments of the Minecraft worlds. Contents 1 Generation 1.1 , unless another item of the same kind was dropped next to them and added to its stack. If 2-64 items are dropped by a player in creative mode, they despawn only after 1 minute. Merging dropped item stacks will reset the despawn timer to 5 minutes. On the console edition the item entity limit is 200 in loaded chunks. If more items are dropped the game will begin despawning them starting with the item with the lowest countdown timer value even if the value has not yet reached zero.

Trivia

• If you use the command /summon Item (without any other values or data tags), a stone item will be spawned. This is because stone is ID 1.
• If you mine a block, it will take 1/2 second before you can pick the item up. If you drop an item using Q, it will take 2 seconds before you can pick it up again.

Appearance

An animation of a 3D dropped item, spinning.

Items have two possible appearances, generally corresponding to whether the item appears as a 3D or 2D shape in a player`s inventory screens. 3D items appear as their 3D shape, miniaturized to about ¹⁄₄ scale, while 2D items appear as ¹⁄₂ scale with all the pixels replaced with a cube. Both types slowly rotate and bob up and down.

When a single item entity represents a stack of more than one (which happens when the player discards a stack from an inventory window, or when another like item comes to occupy the same place), it appears as several of the item stuck together. Stacks of 2–5 appear as two, 6–20 as three, and 21–64 as four.

Data values

See also: Chunk format Chunks store the terrain and entities within a 16×256×16 area. They also store precomputed lighting, heightmap data for Minecraft s performance, and other meta information. Contents 1 NBT structure 2 Block format 3 Entity format 3.1

Dropped items have entity data associated with them that contain various properties of the entity. Their entity ID is Item.

History

In the first public mention of item entities, this early video of Minecraft (Classic 0.24) by Notch, they were referred to as "resources".

Classic
0.24					Items were added to the game. Initially, they only took the form of destroyed blocks, and they pulsed white (similar to the selection cursor at the time).
0.30					Items no longer pulse white. Items no longer prevent placement of blocks, but instead are moved to the nearest chunk. more information needed
Indev
0.31					In a test stage of 0.31, items would not spin and float such as now, but only stands on the block. more information needed
					Non-block items added (as sprites); they rotate to face the player.
Beta
1.8					A bug causing cactus Cactus Transparency Yes Luminance No Blast resistance 2 Tool Any tool Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Flammable No Experience Smelted: 0.2 Drops Itself Data value dec: 81 hex: 51 bin: 1010001 Name cactus “ What do you reckon items to be displayed at the 1⁄2 scale rather than 1⁄4 was fixed.
Official release
1.3.1					Items which are moved into the same location will combine into stacks instead of remaining independent entities.
1.4.4			1.4.3-pre		Items are now pushed out of transparent solid blocks as well as opaque ones. Items can push into solid blocks while trying to escape a solid block instead of stopping (this has been used to create vertical transport of items). New feature: items will be pushed out of the inside corner of stair blocks, causing “bouncing” effects.
Dec. 11, 2012					Dinnerbone tweeted a picture of diamonds being rendered in 3D as dropped items. He also revealed that other items will also be rendered in this way, but only in fancy graphics.
Dec. 12, 2012					TeamMojang (YouTube) posted a video showing off the new 3D items.
1.4.6			12w50a		When dropped, items now render in the fancy graphics setting as 3D spinning animations (non-block items no longer display as sprites).
1.8			14w25a		Dropped items now render in 3D on fast graphics, instead of just on fancy graphics.
1.8.1					Dropped items now spin on fast graphics.
1.11			16w32a		Changed entity ID from Item to item.
Pocket Edition Alpha
0.2.0					Added items to the game.
