Minecraft:Wind Charge

From SAS Gaming Wiki
Revision as of 21:07, 9 April 2026 by SyncBot (talk | contribs) (Fix template calls: add MC/ prefix)

Template:Infobox item A wind charge is a throwable Minecraft:item that bursts into wind on impact, which can knock entities into the air and interact with Minecraft:doors, Minecraft:buttons, Minecraft:levers, and similar Minecraft:blocks. A breeze rod can be crafted into 4 wind charges, and the breeze rods are obtained from breezes, which shoot out wind charges that deal half a heart of damage.

Usage

A wind charge can be thrown by {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}using it. After it is thrown, the wind charge is consumed.

Wind charges have a cooldown of 10 ticks (0.5 seconds) before they can be used again. The cooldown is shown in the hotbar by a white overlay on the wind charge that shrinks and must disappear before the player can use it again. If there are other inventory or hotbar slots containing wind charges, they are covered with the white overlay as well.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> They can be used to activate Minecraft:buttons, fence gates, Minecraft:levers, and non-iron Minecraft:trapdoors and doors. They also ring Minecraft:bells, break chorus flowers, extinguish Minecraft:candles, and shatter decorated pots.

Behavior

File:Wind Charge Launching Player.gif
A player using the knockback from a wind charge to launch into the air.

Wind charges, when fired by players, dispensers, or breezes, fly in a straight line through the air. There is a random offset in a wind charge's trajectory over a cone-shaped region, spreading along the aimed trajectory, which can cause a wind charge to miss its target or hit something else.

When a wind charge directly hits an entity, the entity takes Template:Hp damage and is knocked back 2.5 blocks unless the entity is resistant to knockback (e.g., squid, Minecraft:wardens, ravagers). A burst of wind also appears and knocks back nearby entities without dealing damage to them. Mobs may be knocked high enough into the air to take additional fall damage upon landing. A wind charge that passes through fire or lava sets fire to any entities that it hits.Template:Only

The wind burst also interacts with these blocks:

Wind charges can be deflected if hit with another projectile or a melee attack, similar to ghast fireballs. Blast Protection reduces the knockback effect of wind charges.

Wind charges are distance attenuated by liquids such as Minecraft:water and Minecraft:lava. They fly in a straight line, similar to fireballs.

Wind charges are two separate entities depending on their source. Wind charges shot by breezes are breeze_wind_charges, while wind charges shot by players and dispensers are simply wind_charges. This distinction is in place as the two types of wind charges have some different properties. breeze_wind_charges cannot be obtained as items.

When used by players and dispensers

Wind charges fired by players and dispensers deal 10% more knockback than those fired by breezes, but have a much smaller burst area.

Template:Redr

A player launched by wind charges shot by a player or a dispenser accumulates fall damage only when falling below the Y level where the wind burst hit. in Template:Editions, when throwing a wind charge, the projectile is slightly offset.

Unlike other forms of projectiles when fired on the move, wind charges slightly offset to whatever direction the shooter is moving, following close to the crosshair.
