Slot

From Minecraft Wiki

This article needs to be updated.

Please update this article to reflect recent updates or newly available information. The talk page may contain suggestions.
Reason: A lot has changed with slots since this page was actually majorly updated, example: the offhand slot for players is no longer the -106th slot of the inventory, it's now located in the "equipment.offhand" NBT tag, and the page also contains a lot of incorrect info in general.

A slot is a location in the data of a block entity or entity that an item stack can be placed in.

[edit | edit source]

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: Items, item frames, item displays, arrows, tridents, spectral arrows, fireballs, and small fireballs: 0. Barrels, chests, dispensers, droppers, 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 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
98-103	Mobs, players, and armor stands (all living entities support these slots although not all mobs show or make use of the items),	Head armor slot: 103 Chest armor slot: 102 Leg armor slot: 101 Feet armor slot: 100 Mainhand: 98 Offhand: 99
105	Mobs, players, and armor stands (all living entities support these slots although not all mobs show or make use of the items)	Slot for wolf armor on wolf, horse armor on horse
106	Mobs, players, and armor stands (all living entities support these slots although not all mobs show or make use of the items)	Slot for saddle on horse and pig, carpet on llama, harness on happy ghast
200-226	Players	Slots in ender chest
300-307	Villagers, wandering traders, pillagers	Their inventory
400	Horses, donkeys, mules, llamas	Slot for saddle item
499	Chested donkeys, llamas, mules	Slot for the chest item of Donkeys, llamas, mules.
499	Players	Slot for the item held by a player in GUI screens. Not available in creative mode.^[1]
500-503	Players	Crafting slots in inventory screen
500-514	Chested donkeys, llamas, mules	Slots in their chests.

Command argument

[edit | edit source]

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>.

Slot string name	Valid slot number	Mapped index
`contents`	0
`container.<slot_number>`	0-53	0-53
`hotbar.<slot_number>`	0-8	0-8
`inventory.<slot_number>`	0-26	9-35
`enderchest.<slot_number>`	0-26	200-226
`horse.<slot_number>`	0-14	500-514
`weapon`	98
`weapon.mainhand`	98
`weapon.offhand`	99
`armor.head`	103
`armor.chest`	102
`armor.legs`	101
`armor.feet`	100
`armor.body`	105
`horse.saddle`	400
`horse.chest`	499
`player.cursor`	499
`player.crafting.<slot_number>`	0-3	500-503

/execute if items and /item fill^{[upcoming: JE 26.3]} commands also supports wildcarded slot names:

container.*: contains container.0 to container.53.
hotbar.*: contains hotbar.0 to hotbar.8.
inventory.*: contains inventory.0 to inventory.26.
enderchest.*: contains enderchest.0 to enderchest.26.
horse.*: contains horse.0 to horse.14.
weapon.*: contains weapon.mainhand, and weapon.offhand.
armor.*: contains armor.head, armor.chest, armor.legs, armor.feet, and armor.body.
player.crafting.*: contains player.crafting.0 to player.crafting.3.

Command argument

[edit | edit source]

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

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

Barrels, chests, dispensers, droppers, 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 furnace's slots are numbered 0 for the input slot, 1 for the fuel slot, and 2 for the output slot.

For entities:

Slot Type	Slot Numbers	Restrictions
`slot.weapon.mainhand`	any number (0 in `hasitem` selector)	Mobs only (including armor stands and players) (although not all mobs show or make use of the items) Wolf uses `slot.armor.chest` slot for wolf armor.
