Minecraft:Slot

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.

Slot index	Used by	Description
0-53	General inventories	Different containers have different ranges for the slot number: Minecraft:Items, item frames, item displays, Minecraft:arrows, Minecraft:tridents, spectral arrows, fireballs, and small fireballs: 0. Minecraft:Barrels, Minecraft:chests, Minecraft:dispensers, Minecraft:droppers, Minecraft:hoppers, 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 Minecarts with hoppers: 0-4

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 <slot_type> or <slot_type>.<slot_number>.

Command argument

In commands, a slot is referred by two arguments: slot type and slot number.

For a block, its slot type is slot.container.

• Minecraft:Barrels, Minecraft:chests, Minecraft:dispensers, Minecraft:droppers, Minecraft:hoppers, 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.
