View source for Minecraft:Slot

{{Update|A lot has changed with slots since this page was actually majorly updated, example: the offhand slot for players is no longer the -106th slot of the inventory, it's now located in the "equipment.offhand" NBT tag, and the page also contains a lot of incorrect info in general.}}

A '''slot''' is a location in the data of a block entity or entity that an item stack can be placed in.

== ''Java Edition'' ==
A slot is defined by its '''slot index'''.

|General inventories
|Different containers have different ranges for the slot number:
* [[Minecraft:Item]]s, item frames, item displays, [[Minecraft:arrow]]s, [[Minecraft:trident]]s, spectral arrows, fireballs, and small fireballs: 0.
* [[Minecraft:Barrel]]s, [[Minecraft:chest]]s, [[Minecraft:dispenser]]s, [[Minecraft:dropper]]s, [[Minecraft:hopper]]s, shulker boxes and trapped chests are numbered 0 for the top-left slot and then increase first horizontally, then vertically (so, for example, a chest's top row slots are numbered 0 to 8 from left to right). Double chests and double trapped chests are treated as two single container blocks.
* A brewing stand's bottom slots are numbered 0 to 2 from left to right, its top slot is 3 and the fuel slot is 4.
* A [[Minecraft:furnace]]'s slots are numbered 0 for the input slot, 1 for the fuel slot, and 2 for the output slot.
* Players: 0-35
* Minecarts with chests: 0-26

=== Command argument ===
In commands, a slot should be referred by a string name instead of its index. The string name is mapped to its index when executing command.

A string name of slot consists of '''slot type''' and optional '''slot number''', in the format of <code><slot_type></code> or <code><slot_type>.<slot_number></code>.

== ''Bedrock Edition'' ==

=== Command argument ===
In commands, a slot is referred by two arguments: '''slot type''' and '''slot number'''.

'''For a block''', its slot type is <code>slot.container</code>.
:* [[Minecraft:Barrel]]s, [[Minecraft:chest]]s, [[Minecraft:dispenser]]s, [[Minecraft:dropper]]s, [[Minecraft:hopper]]s, shulker boxes and trapped chests are numbered 0 for the top-left slot and then increase first horizontally, then vertically (so, for example, a chest's top row slots are numbered 0 to 8 from left to right). Double chests and double trapped chests are treated as two single container blocks.
:* A brewing stand's bottom slots are numbered 0 to 2 from left to right, its top slot is 3 and the fuel slot is 4.
:* A [[Minecraft:furnace]]'s slots are numbered 0 for the input slot, 1 for the fuel slot, and 2 for the output slot.
