Choose an item
Loading game data...
Pick an item and this tool shows every way the game lets you get it, grouped into crafting, drops and loot, and villager trades. It reads the answer from the game's own recipe, loot-table and trade data, so what you see is exactly what the game does, not a summary that might be out of date.
The three source types cover the ways items enter your inventory. Crafting includes the crafting table along with smelting, blasting, smoking, stonecutting and smithing, each shown with its ingredients. Drops and loot covers blocks you mine, mobs you defeat, chests you open, fish you reel in and suspicious sand or gravel you brush. Villager trades covers every trade that sells the item, with the profession, level and cost.
If an item has no source in a category, the tool says so rather than leaving a blank, and the summary line at the top tells you at a glance whether the item is crafted, looted, traded or some combination of the three.
Loot sources are labelled by where they come from: Mined from a block, Dropped by a mob, Found in a type of chest, Fishing, or Brushing for archaeology. That label comes from the loot table's own category, so a diamond shows up as mined from diamond ore and found in many chest types, exactly as it does in the game.
A few items genuinely have no survival source. Creative-only blocks, spawn eggs and command items are not crafted, dropped or traded, so the tool reports no source for them. This is intentional: it only lists what is really in the data, which makes it a reliable answer to the question of whether an item can be obtained in survival at all.
Type the item's name into the search box and pick it. The tool then lists every way to obtain it that exists in the game data: crafting and other recipes that make it, loot tables that drop or contain it (from mining, mobs, chests, fishing and archaeology) and any villager trade that sells it. If a source category is empty, it says so clearly.
Straight from the game's own files. The recipes come from the recipe registry, the drops and chest loot come from the loot tables, and the trades come from the villager trade data. Because these are the same tables the game itself uses, the tool only reports a source when the game really has one, instead of relying on a hand-written guide that can fall out of date.
Some items have no survival source at all. Spawn eggs, command-block items, debug and creative-only blocks and a few technical items are not crafted, dropped or sold, so there is nothing in the data to list. When that happens the tool says the item has no source rather than inventing one.
Yes. For each villager trade that sells the item, the tool shows the profession, the trade level and the cost in emeralds (plus any second item the villager asks for, such as a compass for an explorer map). These are the base costs from the trade data before reputation or Hero of the Village discounts are applied.
Yes. Fishing and archaeology loot are part of the game's loot tables, so an item that can be fished up shows a Fishing source and an item that can be brushed out of suspicious sand or gravel shows a Brushing (archaeology) source. Items pulled from a chest, dropped by a mob or mined from a block are labelled the same way.
