An '''igloo''' is a [[Minecraft:structure]] sometimes generated in [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], or [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]] and built mainly of [[Minecraft:snow block]]s.<br />
<br />
== Generation ==<br />
Igloos generate uncommonly in [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], and rarely in [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]].<br />
<br />
{{Calculator|chunkbase|pois=I|zoom=0.25}}<br />
<br />
== Structure ==<br />
{{main|/Structure}}<br />
<br />
An igloo is shaped like a small dwelling made of snow blocks. It has an entrance without a door and a [[Minecraft:carpet]]ed interior containing a [[Minecraft:bed]], [[Minecraft:furnace]], and [[Minecraft:crafting table]]. There are two windows made of ice blocks{{Only|JE|short=JE}}/packed ice{{Only|BE|short=BE}}<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-146636|3=Igloos spawn with packed ice}}</ref> and one [[Minecraft:redstone torch]] as a light source.<br />
<br />
Half of all igloos have an oak [[Minecraft:trapdoor]] under the third carpet from the doorway, leading down a long [[Minecraft:ladder]] shaft to a basement. This passageway and the basement are built from [[Minecraft:stone bricks]], some of which are [[Minecraft:infested block]]s with [[Minecraft:silverfish]]. To the left of the ladder is a table made of stairs blocks, with a [[Minecraft:brewing stand]] containing one [[Minecraft:splash potion]] of [[Minecraft:weakness]] and a [[Minecraft:flower pot]] holding a [[Minecraft:cactus]]. Beside the table is a [[Minecraft:cauldron]] two-thirds full of water. To the right is a [[Minecraft:chest]] that contains a [[Minecraft:golden apple]]. Beyond the far wall, behind [[Minecraft:iron bars]] in two different cages, are a [[Minecraft:villager]] and a [[Minecraft:zombie villager]].<br />
<br />
Igloos that generate without a basement have a snow block in place of the trapdoor. The villagers, the brewing stand, and the chest are absent in this case.<br />
<br />
If an igloo with a basement forms partially above open-air{{tag|Clarify—Does this mean that the basement is partially aboveground? Or that part of the structure is above air blocks?}}, the shaft with the ladder still generates.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
{{IN|java}}, the generated villager is always unemployed and is a plains biome type.<ref>{{bug|MC-150296|||WAI}}</ref> The villager cannot pathfind to the [[Minecraft:brewing stand]] or [[Minecraft:cauldron]] to take on a profession unless some of the blocks confining it are broken. The generated zombie villager always has the profession of cleric and becomes unemployed if cured.<br />
<br />
{{IN|Bedrock}}, the villager is the snowy type with a random profession. The zombie villager is unemployed but can change its profession to cleric or leatherworker after being cured because it can claim either the brewing stand or the cauldron.<br />
<br />
One may access the individual structures of an igloo by using [[Minecraft:structure block]]s to manually load them from the {{code|/data/minecraft/structures/igloo}} folder in [[Minecraft:version.jar]]. To do so, set a structure block to Load mode, enter {{code|igloo/''structure name''}}, and press {{code|[LOAD]}}. The individual structures are {{code|bottom|middle|top|delimiter=,}}.<br />

== Issues ==<br />
{{issue list}}<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
*{{IN|Java}}, if a number of items in the igloo [[Minecraft:furnace]] are smelted, the light generated melts the igloo window, turning the [[Minecraft:ice]] into a [[Minecraft:water]] source block.<ref>{{bug|MC-100036|||WAI}}</ref> If the igloo has a basement, this can reveal the trapdoor leading to it.<br />
*An igloo with a basement qualifies as a [[Minecraft:Village mechanics|village]] {{in|be}} due to having a [[Minecraft:villager]], a [[Minecraft:bed]], a [[Minecraft:brewing stand]], and a [[Minecraft:cauldron]], with the last 2 blocks counting as job sites. {{IN|je}}, however, the villager (or the zombie villager, if cured) must have a path to access either job site, which must be claimed in order for the igloo to register as a village. This means a [[Minecraft:raid]] can be triggered in an igloo.<br />
*An igloo can sometimes generate on a cliff, on a mountain, over a cave, or on a floating island, causing its basement to be exposed.<br />
*Igloos can generate deep down due to generation bugs, causing the basement ladder to lead to the [[Minecraft:void]], without generating a proper basement.<br />
