A '''wind charge''' is a consumable ranged [[weapon]] that can knock [[entities]] back and interact with certain [[redstone components]]. It is used by [[breeze]]s as their main attack and can also be shot by [[player]]s and [[dispenser]]s.

== Usage ==
A wind charge can be thrown by {{control|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>{{bug|MC-88236||Ender Pearl/Chorus Fruit/Shield cooldown affects items throughout inventory and containers|WAI}}</ref> They can be used to activate [[Button|buttons]], [[Fence Gate|fence gates]], [[Lever|levers]], and non iron [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and [[Door|doors]]. They will also ring [[Bell|bells]], break [[Chorus Flower|chorus flowers]], extinguish [[Candle|candles]], and shatter [[Decorated Pot|Decorated pots]].

== Behavior ==
[[File:Wind Charge Launching Player.gif|thumb|A player using the knockback from a wind charge to launch into the air.]]
Wind charges, when fired either by players, dispensers, or breezes, fly in a straight line through the air. There is a random offset in a wind charge's trajectory due to a 'cone' of spread, which can cause wind charges to miss their target or hit something else.

When a wind charge directly hits an [[entity]], the entity takes {{hp|1}} [[damage]] and knockback 2.5 blocks (unless the entity is resistant to knockback, ex: [[squid]]; [[warden]]; [[ravager]];) and a burst of wind appears. When hitting a [[block]], only the burst of wind appears. 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 catches fire, and {{in|BE}} sets fire to entities it hits.

The wind burst also interacts with these blocks:
* ''Non-iron'' [[door]]s and [[trapdoor]]s are flipped.
* [[Fence gate]]s are flipped.
* [[Button]]s are pressed.
* [[Lever]]s are flipped.
* [[Bell]]s are rung and swung.
* [[Chorus flower]]s break, dropping in item form.
* [[Decorated pot]]s shatter on impact, dropping their components ([[brick]]s and/or [[Pottery Sherd|sherds]]) and their contents, if any.
* Lit [[candle]]s (both standalone and on [[cake]]) are extinguished.

Wind charges can be deflected if hit with another projectile or a melee attack, similar to [[Fireball|ghast fireballs]].

Wind charges are distance attenuated by [[liquid]]s such as [[water]] and [[lava]]. They also appear to fly in a straight line, similar to fireballs.{{info needed|what is this trying to say?}}

Wind charges are two separate entities depending on their source. Wind charges shot by breezes are <code>breeze_wind_charge</code>s, while wind charges shot by players and dispensers are simply <code>wind_charge</code>s. This distinction is in place as the two types of wind charges have some different properties.

=== 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.{{more info|How much smaller? concrete values for both attributes would be helpful.}}

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|BE}}, 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.
