A '''barrel''' is a solid [[Minecraft:block]] used to store [[Minecraft:item]]s. Unlike a [[Minecraft:chest]], it cannot connect to other barrels. It also serves as a [[Minecraft:fisherman]]'s [[Minecraft:job site block]].

Template:Infobox block A barrel is a solid Minecraft:block used to store Minecraft:items. Unlike a Minecraft:chest, it cannot connect to other barrels. It also serves as a fisherman's job site block.

Obtaining

Breaking

Barrels can be mined with or without any Minecraft:tool, but Minecraft:axes are the quickest.

Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Empty barrels can generate naturally in fisher cottages in villages. Up to 3 barrels can generate in a village fisher cottage.

In trial chambers, barrels containing loot can be found in the corridors, while empty barrels generate beneath Minecraft:hoppers at chamber entrances.

Generated loot

Template:LootChestItem

Crafting


Template:Crafting

Usage

Barrels can be moved by Minecraft:pistons.Template:Only Minecraft:Water and Minecraft:lava flow around barrels without affecting them. Lava can create Minecraft:fire in air blocks next to barrels as if the barrel was flammable, but the barrel does not actually catch fire and can't burn away.

Container

File:Barrel GUI.png
The GUI of the barrel.

Barrels have a container inventory with 27 slots, which is the same as a single Minecraft:chest. Unlike chests, the action of opening a barrel is never prevented. They can be filled by Minecraft:droppers and both filled and emptied by Minecraft:hoppers. When broken, barrels drop the contents of the container and the barrel item itself.

To open the barrel interface, use the Template:Control control. To move items between the barrel inventory and the player inventory or hotbar while the barrel interface is open, drag or shift-click the items. Holding Template:Key and double-clicking while holding an item moves all items of the type clicked on in or out of the barrel to the extent that space is available for them.Template:Only To exit the barrel interface, use the Template:Key control.

By default, the interface of a barrel is labeled "Barrel". A barrel's GUI label can be changed by naming the barrel in an Minecraft:anvil before placing it or by using the Template:Cmd commandTemplate:Only (for example, to label a barrel at (0,64,0) as "Bonus Barrel!", use Template:Cmd).

Template:IN, a barrel can be "locked" by setting its lock tag using the Template:Cmd command. If a barrel's lock tag is not blank, the barrel cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item that matches the item predicate in the lock tag. For example, to lock a barrel at (0,64,0) so that the barrel cannot be opened unless the player is holding an item named "Barrel Key", use Template:Cmd.

Profession

Template:Main If a barrel has not been claimed by a Minecraft:villager, any nearby unemployed villager has a chance to change their profession to fisherman and claim the barrel as their job site block.

Fuel

Barrels can be used as a fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Note blocks

Barrels can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

Piglins

Minecraft:Piglins become hostile toward players who open or break barrels.
