These data values refer to the different types of blocks and items on Java Edition before the flattening in Java Edition 1.13. They are used in many places in Minecraft. Block IDs are used to define blocks placed in the world and inventory items (including items in chests and items dropped in the world). Item IDs are only valid for items. There are also Entity IDs for entities such as mobs and projectiles. Block data further defines blocks placed, describing for example the height of water or the direction a torch points.
| I | Has a different ID as an inventory item. |
| D | Use the item's Damage field to define its durability. |
| S | Requires additional data from the saved game's Data array to fully define the block. |
| B | Requires additional data in the item's Damage field to fully define the inventory item. |
| N | Requires additional data in the item's NBT data to fully define the inventory item. |
| E | Requires a block entity to store additional data. |
| Red | Cannot be legitimately obtained. Only available using the /give command or via inventory editors.
|
| Light Blue | Cannot be obtained as an item. (Can only be placed using block-placement commands such as /setblock or /fill.)
|
| Blue | Available in the Creative mode inventory by item list. |
| Purple | Available in Creative mode by block picking. |
| Teal | Can be obtained by trading with villagers or in the Creative mode inventory. |
| Green | Only available by having Enchanted tools or in the Creative mode inventory. |
| Lime Green | Only available by having Enchanted tools or via use of /give or inventory editors, but unobtainable in the Creative mode inventory.
|
| Gray | Unused data. |
Horse entities have variant fields that determine the markings on the horse. Below is a list of Variant values that determine the variant of horses.
| White | Creamy | Chestnut | Brown | Black | Gray | Dark Brown | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| None | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| White | 256 | 257 | 258 | 259 | 260 | 261 | 262 |
| White Field | 512 | 513 | 514 | 515 | 516 | 517 | 518 |
| White Dots | 768 | 769 | 770 | 771 | 772 | 773 | 774 |
| Black Dots | 1024 | 1025 | 1026 | 1027 | 1028 | 1029 | 1030 |
Variant names taken from the names of the texture file they correspond to.
Summoning a horse entity without specifying the Variant value, or using a Variant value that is not a true ID (all true IDs are displayed on the chart above), will result in a white horse.
Each type of biome has its own biome id, shown in the following table. Main biomes have a numeric ID from 0 to 127, while biome variations normally have a numeric ID of 128 + <original biome number>. Extreme Hills Edge and Frozen Ocean biomes did not generate anymore.

The data value is split in half. The bottom three bits determine the type of sapling (and thus the eventual tree type), according to the following table:
| Bits | Values |
|---|---|
| 0x1 0x2 0x4 |
A three-bit field storing a value of 0 to 5 specifying the type of sapling:
|
| 0x8 | Set if sapling is ready to grow into a tree. |
The 0x8 bit functions as the counter. The counter is cleared when a sapling is dropped as an item.
If bit 0x8 is set, this liquid is "falling" and only spreads downward. At this level, the lower bits are essentially ignored, since this block is then at its highest fluid level.
The lower three bits are the fluid block's level. 0x0 is the highest fluid level (not necessarily filling the block - this depends on the neighboring fluid blocks above each upper corner of the block). Data values increase as the fluid level of the block drops: 0x1 is next highest, 0x2 lower, on through 0x7, the lowest fluid level. Along a line on a flat plane, water drops one level per meter from the source, lava drops one in the nether and two everywhere else.
The stationary versions of each fluid are "stable" and currently not being checked by the engine for further level changes. Oddly the in-code names for stationary water and lava are "water" and "lava" and the regular versions are "flowing_water" and "flowing_lava".

If bit 0x4 is set, the leaves are permanent and will never decay. This bit is set on player-placed leaf blocks and overrides the meaning of bit 0x8.
If bit 0x8 is set, the leaves will be checked for decay. The bit will be cleared after the check if the leaves do not decay. The bit will be set again whenever a block adjacent to the leaves is changed.

Single slabs can be either "right-side-up" or "upside-down"; this information is stored in the most significant metadata bit 0x8 as follows:
Thus a right-side-up birch wood slab has metadata value 0x2 (binary 0010), while an upside-down birch slab is represented by metadata 0xA (binary 1010).
Double slabs with the high-order bit set render the top texture on all six sides.
The wooden slab in the stone slabs has the properties of stone, and the texture of oak wood planks. They are unavailable in game and can only be obtained through commands.

Double plants take up two vertical blocks. The bottom block defines the type, while the top defines the direction it faces (unused). When the most significant bit (0x8) is set, the plant is the top.
The top bit (0x8) is a status bit that determines whether the piston is pushed out or not. 1 for pushed out, 0 for retracted.
The bottom three bits are a value from 0 to 5, indicating the direction of the piston (the direction the piston head is pointing)
The top bit (0x8) is a status bit that determines whether the head is sticky or not (note that the Piston Body actually has completely different block types for Sticky and Regular). 1 is sticky, 0 is regular.
The bottom three bits are a value from 0 to 5, indicating the direction of the piston (the direction the piston head is pointing).

The two least significant bits are the orientation of the door, that is, the corner in which its hinge is positioned:
The two bits above are flags:
For example, the bottom half of a door with its hinge on the south-west corner, which is swung so that it is closed when viewed from the west, will have a data value of (3 | 4) = (3 + 4) = 7.
The total data needed to accurately describe a single door tile is now contained in both door tiles, so both data values have to be inspected.
Common to both door tiles, the top bit (0x8) is as follows:

Mushroom blocks consist of the same blocks throughout their structure, the data value of each block decides the texture. The default texture on all sides is porous flesh. The cap texture can be either the brown mushroom or red mushroom texture, the textures for porous and stem sides are identical. Although data values 11-13 are unused they have the same texture as data value 0 as placeholders (to keep people from destroying their maps).
| Value | Stage |
|---|---|
| 0 | Freshly planted stem |
| 1 | First stage of growth |
| 2 | Second stage of growth |
| 3 | Third stage of growth |
| 4 | Fourth stage of growth |
| 5 | Fifth stage of growth |
| 6 | Sixth stage of growth |
| 7 | Seventh stage of growth In this stage a stem can generate a melon or pumpkin next to it on an empty dirt, grass or farmland block |
Determines the face against which the vine is anchored. Note that (except for Top) these are testable as bit flags, unlike most of the other directional data for other block types. Multiple sides can contain vines. The "top" attachment is assumed to be present if data is 0 or there is solid block above.

Two bits storing a value from 0 to 3 specifying the direction the gate is facing:
|
| 0x4 | 0 if the gate is closed, 1 if open. |
Like Crops, the data value is related to the size of the Nether Wart. There are three distinct visual stages to Nether Wart's growth (the associated data values are given):
The bottom three bits are bit flags for which bottle slots actually contain bottles.
| Bits | Values |
|---|---|

| 2 | ⅔ filled |
| 3 | Fully filled |
Nether portals created in version 1.6.4 and earlier automatically determined their orientation based on neighboring blocks. When version 13w37a added the ability to create larger portals, they started using data values to keep track of their orientation, and old portals with a data value of 0 would randomly close when upgrading to 1.7.
| DV | Orientation |
|---|---|
| 0 | Automatic, 1.6.4 and earlier |
| 1 | Facing North/South (obsidian to east and west) |
| 2 | Facing East/West (obsidian to north and south) |
The bottom two bits determine which "side" of the whole portal frame this block is a part of. To make the frame activate, each of the portal frame blocks in the pattern must "face" toward the middle. Since the image is near-symmetrical, it is difficult to tell which direction an individual block is actually facing, but if the block isn't facing in that direction and that is the last frame block where the Eye of Ender is placed, the frame won't activate.
Direction vectors for the blocks are the following:
0x4 is a bit flag: 0 is an "empty" frame block, 1 is a block with an Eye of Ender inserted.

For Flower Pot blocks placed from Minecraft version 1.7 on, the plant contained in the pot is stored in the associated Tile Entity. See Block entity format for details. The absence of a tile entity indicates either an empty Flower Pot, or one whose block was placed prior to version 1.7.
For Flower Pot blocks placed before version 1.7 the plant contained in the pot is indicated by the data value, according to the following table:

For an anvil in the world, 0x1 is the bit that determines whether the anvil is orientated in a north-south (0) or a west-east (1) direction. 0x4 and 0x8 are bits which determine whether the anvil is a regular (0x4 & 0x8 = 0), a slightly damaged (0x4 = 1) or a very damaged (0x8 = 1) one. For an anvil in the inventory, the data value is a counter of how damaged it is.

A glass bottle filled with a potion. Potion type is stored in item's damage value as a 16-bit number. Potion effect, name, and other flags are encoded on bits. Effect duration itself isn't there, but can be calculated from other values.
Current meaning of bits is described below. Note that potion name overlaps with potion effect and tier.
| Bit | Dec | Hex | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 0001 | Potion effect | Potion name |
| 1 | 2 | 0002 | ||
| 2 | 4 | 0004 | ||
| 3 | 8 | 0008 | ||
| 4 | 16 | 0010 | ||
| 5 | 32 | 0020 | Tier | |
| 6 | 64 | 0040 | Extended duration | |

| 14 | 16384 | 4000 | Splash potion | |
| 15 | 32768 | 8000 | (ignored) | |
To calculate damage value of potion with desired effect use the following formula:
DV = potion_effect + tier_bit + extended_bit + splash_bit
for example:
To get potion with certain name, use the following formula:
DV = potion_name + extended_bit + splash_bit
for example:

Each map item's damage value corresponds to the map ID saved in each world's NBT data. The map's parameters, such as the scale of the map, its location in the world and what areas are explored are saved in separate .dat files, unlike written books or fireworks which store their additional data directly into the item itself. If a map is cloned they will both share the same damage value and newly explored areas will appear on both instances.
