'''Healing''' is the mechanic of regaining lost [[Minecraft:health]].

== Natural regeneration ==
{{main|Food#Natural regeneration}}
{{redirect|natural_health_regeneration|the game rule|Game rule#natural_health_regeneration}}
Whenever a player's [[Minecraft:hunger]] is {{hunger|18}} or higher, they regenerate {{hp|1}} every 4 seconds. This increases the player's [[Minecraft:exhaustion]] by 6, of which 4 cost {{hunger|1}} hunger. If existing, the player's saturation is used up first. Natural healing is deactivated when the game rule {{gmr|natural_health_regeneration|naturalregeneration}} is set to false.

=== Saturation boost ===
{{exclusive|java|section=1}}
{{main|Food#Saturation boost}}
If the player's hunger bar is ''completely'' filled and they have left over [[Minecraft:saturation]], this saturation gets drained, healing at a rate of {{hp|2}} every second. Just as with the hunger-based regeneration, every {{hp|1}} regenerated deducts 1.5 saturation. With the maximum amount of 20 saturation, the player can rapidly regenerate up to {{hp|13}}.

=== Peaceful difficulty ===
When the [[Minecraft:difficulty]] is set to Peaceful, the player regenerates at a standard rate of {{hp|1}} per second, additionally with {{hp|1}} every 4 seconds because the player's hunger bar is filled. [[Minecraft:Chorus fruit]], [[Minecraft:golden apple]]s, [[Minecraft:honey bottle]]s, and suspicious stew can be eaten even when the hunger bar is full, increasing the player's regeneration even further. On the other hand, this also causes the player to lose [[Minecraft:Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]] even when changing from other difficulty levels to Peaceful mode.

== Artificial regeneration ==
=== Potions ===
The player can drink a [[Minecraft:potion]] to regain health immediately or over time.

==== Potion of Healing ====
The potion of Healing [[Minecraft:Instant Health|instantly regenerates]] {{hp|4}}. If it gets amplified with [[Minecraft:glowstone dust]], this value increases to {{hp|8}}.

It can also be turned into a [[Minecraft:lingering potion]] that heals up to {{hp|10}} when the player is inside an area effect. [[Minecraft:Glowstone dust]] amplifies healing up to {{hp|20}}.

==== Potion of Regeneration ====
The potion of Regeneration heals {{hp|1}} every 2.5 seconds over 45 seconds, resulting in {{hp|18}} in total. Amplifying the potion with glowstone increases this rate to {{hp|1}} every 1.25 seconds for 0:22 seconds, whereas [[Minecraft:redstone]] increases the duration to 1:30{{only|java|short=1}}/2:00{{only|bedrock|short=1}} minutes, restores {{hp|36}}{{only|java|short=1}} / {{hp|48}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}

{{IN|bedrock}}, adding gunpowder to make a splash potion decreases its duration, making healing less effective. Splash potion of regeneration heals {{hp|1}} every 2.5 seconds over 33 seconds, resulting in {{hp|13}} in total. Amplifying the potion with glowstone increases this rate to {{hp|1}} every 1.25 seconds for 0:16 seconds, whereas [[Minecraft:redstone]] increases the duration to 1:30 minutes, restores {{hp|36}}.

Adding dragon breath on splash potion to make lingering potion. Lingering potion of regeneration heals {{hp|1}} every 2.5 seconds over 11 seconds, resulting in {{hp|4}} in total. Amplifying the potion with glowstone increases this rate to {{hp|1}} every 1.25 seconds for 0.5 seconds, whereas [[Minecraft:redstone]] increases the duration to 0:22{{only|java|short=1}} / 0:30{{only|bedrock|short=1}} seconds, restores {{hp|8}}{{only|java|short=1}}{{hp|12}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}.

==== Tipped arrow ====
Tipped arrow shots from a [[Minecraft:bow]], [[Minecraft:crossbow]], or [[Minecraft:dispenser]] inflict arrow damage and a status effect. Arrows of healing give the same effect as its potion ({{hp|4}} for an arrow of healing I, and {{hp|8}} for an arrow of healing II). Regeneration I arrows last 5 seconds (restores {{hp|2}}), the extended regeneration I arrows last 0:11{{only|java|short=1}} / 0:15{{only|bedrock|short=1}} seconds (restores {{hp|4}}{{only|java|short=1}} / {{hp|6}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}), and arrows of regeneration II give regeneration II for 0:02 seconds (restores {{hp|2}}). However, arrow damage decreases or sometimes even nullifies the health recovered unless a weak bow shot is used or the player is wearing good armor.

=== Golden apple ===
A [[Minecraft:golden apple]] and [[Minecraft:enchanted golden apple]] can heal the player in different ways:
* Both golden apples refill {{hunger|4}} [[Minecraft:hunger]].
* They provide 9.6 saturation, which can be drained for {{hp|6}} quickly if the player's hunger bar is filled.
* Similar to a potion, a golden apple provides the [[Minecraft:Regeneration]] status effect. A normal golden apple gives Regeneration II for 5 seconds, and an enchanted golden apple for 20 seconds, resulting in {{hp|4}} regenerated from a normal golden apple and {{hp|16}} from an enchanted one. {{IN|bedrock}}, enchanted apple gives regeneration V for 30 seconds, which enough to recover full health in a few seconds. The enchanted golden apple also gives the status effects [[Minecraft:Fire Resistance]] and [[Minecraft:Resistance]] for 5 minutes.
* A normal golden apple can be crafted by 8 [[Minecraft:gold ingot]]s, and a regular [[Minecraft:apple]], and can be found in generated [[Minecraft:chests]]. The enchanted golden apple cannot be crafted, and are found exclusively in generated chests.

=== Totem of undying ===
{{Main|Totem of undying}}
When used, a totem of undying prevents the player's death and provides [[Minecraft:Regeneration]] II for 45 seconds, restoring {{hp|36}}. It also clears all the player's effects and gives 40 seconds of [[Minecraft:Fire Resistance]] and 5 seconds of [[Minecraft:Absorption]] II.

=== Suspicious stew ===
{{Main|Suspicious stew}}
* Suspicious stew refills {{hunger|6}} hunger.
* It provides 7.2 saturation.
* If made from [[Minecraft:blue orchid]]s or [[Minecraft:dandelion]]s gives 0.35 seconds of [[Minecraft:Saturation (effect)|Saturation]] (refills {{Hunger|13}} total)
* If made from [[Minecraft:oxeye daisy]] gives 8 seconds of Regeneration I (restores {{hp|3}}).

=== Beacon ===
When a [[Minecraft:beacon]] is upgraded to the highest level, it can be configured to provide the Regeneration status effect. As long as a player is within the radius of such a beacon, they regenerate {{hp|1}} every 2.5 seconds.

=== Axolotl ===
During a fight, [[Minecraft:axolotl]]s can give players Regeneration I for 5 seconds, restoring {{Hp|2}} per axolotl, for up to 2 minutes.{{Only|Java}}

== Mob healing ==
In contrast to the player, most [[Minecraft:mob]]s cannot heal by themselves. Nevertheless, there are several ways to heal animals and monsters.

=== Potions ===
Most mobs are healed by potions of Healing and Regeneration just like the player.

On the other hand, [[Minecraft:undead]] mobs take ''damage'' from these potions, and healing them requires a potion of Harming. Potions of Regeneration or Poison don't affect undead mobs at all.

=== Regeneration ===
[[Minecraft:Horse]]s, [[Minecraft:donkey]]s, [[Minecraft:mule]]s, [[Minecraft:zombie horse]]s, [[Minecraft:skeleton horse]]s, [[Minecraft:llama]]s, [[Minecraft:trader llama]]s, [[Minecraft:camel]]s, and [[Minecraft:camel husk]]s (all members of the [[Minecraft:Entity format#Abstract classes|{{cd|AbstractHorse}}]] class) automatically regenerate at a slow rate, having a {{frac|1|900}} chance to regenerate {{hp|1}} health point each game tick.

[[Minecraft:Allay]]s automatically regenerate at a rate of {{Hp|2}} per second {{in|java}}, or a rate of {{Hp|1.83}} per second {{in|bedrock}}.

[[Minecraft:Happy ghast]]s automatically regenerate at a rate of {{hp|1}} every 30 seconds. However, if they are between [[Minecraft:Altitude|Y-levels]] 187 and 196 (corresponding to the [[Minecraft:cloud]] level), or if it is [[Minecraft:rain]]ing or [[Minecraft:Snowfall|snowing]], they regenerate at a rate of {{hp|1}} per second.

=== Axolotl ===
Axolotls may play dead when taking damage underwater, dropping to the ground for 10 seconds while regenerating.

=== Fox ===
Foxes can eat foods that inflict regeneration, such as golden apples, enchanted golden apples, or suspicious stew.

=== Iron golem ===
Iron golems can be healed {{control|using}} [[Minecraft:iron ingot]]s on them, restoring their health by {{hp|25}}. This cannot be done using [[Minecraft:iron nugget]]s or [[Minecraft:iron block]]s.

=== Spider ===
{{IN|java}}, spiders on Hard difficulty can spawn with permanent positive status effects, which can include Regeneration, making the spider gradually recover health.

=== Villager ===
Villagers gain 10 seconds of regeneration when new trades are unlocked.
Additionally {{in|bedrock}}, villagers recover health when waking up from bed every morning.

=== Witch ===
Witches use potions of Healing to heal themselves.
Additionally, witches throw splash potions of Healing or Regeneration at [[Minecraft:illager]]s during [[Minecraft:raid]]s.

=== Feeding ===
Some animals can also be ''fed'' in order to recover a set amount of health. The following animals can be fed:

=== Boss healing ===
==== Ender dragon ====
The [[Minecraft:ender dragon]] gets healed by any nearby [[Minecraft:end crystal]] {{hp|1}} every 10 ticks. If a crystal gets destroyed while its beam is pointed at the dragon, though, the dragon takes {{hp|10}} [[Minecraft:damage]] instead.

==== Wither ====
The [[Minecraft:wither]] has a passive regeneration rate of {{hp|1}} every 20 ticks (1 second), and a direct killing blow on a target instantly heals {{hp|5}}.
