'''Bedrock''' is an [[breaking|indestructible]] block found in all three [[dimension]]s. It cannot be obtained as an item in [[Survival]] mode without glitches.

== Obtaining ==
Bedrock can be obtained from the [[Creative inventory]] or by using [[commands]].

=== Breaking ===

Bedrock cannot normally be broken in [[Survival]] mode with any tool. However, it can be broken using glitches involving a [[piston]], but it does not drop as an item unless you use another glitch.

In [[Java Edition 22w13oneBlockAtATime]], bedrock is breakable in Survival, taking 15 minutes to break with empty hands and without a [[Haste]] effect applied.

=== Natural generation ===
Bedrock comprises the five bottom-most layers of the [[Overworld]] in a rough pattern, although the top four layers are predominantly flat bedrock with only rare gaps, rendering the lowest, completely flat fifth layer (at Y=-64) mostly inaccessible.

In [[the Nether]], bedrock comprises both the top four and bottom five layers in a rough pattern. {{IN|Java|Bedrock}}, the patterns of bedrock are consistent in the Nether. At the top of the Nether, bedrock prevents the player from ascending above Y=127 without exploiting glitches, although in ''Java Edition'' the build limit extends to Y=255 in the Nether, meaning it is possible to build there. This space, known as the "[[Nether roof]]", consists entirely of flat bedrock and occasional [[mushroom]]s. [[Ghast|Ghasts]] can spawn here but not [[Zombified Piglin]], as Zombified Piglin cannot spawn on bedrock, although mobs can spawn on valid blocks placed by a player.
In [[the End]], a single block of bedrock generates on top of each [[end spike]], each topped with an [[end crystal]]. The bedrock remains after the destruction of the crystal and is lit on fire indefinitely. Bedrock additionally comprises part of the [[exit portal]] at the center of the [[central island]]. Unlike in other dimensions, there is no bedrock floor at the bottom of the End, meaning it is possible to fall into the [[void]] without exploiting glitches.

An unlimited number of [[end gateway]]s generate randomly across the outer End islands, each consisting of 12 blocks of bedrock.

{{block distribution}}

=== Post-generation ===
If the bedrock that makes up the exit portal is removed by any means, it regenerates when the [[ender dragon]] is defeated or re-summoned. 

An end gateway is generated on the central End island upon the death of each ender dragon, which is mostly made of bedrock. A total of 20 of these gateways generate in a circle centered on the exit portal in set positions. A corresponding end gateway is generated in the inner edge of the [[outer islands]] after an end gateway on the central island is activated for the first time.

== Usage ==
Bedrock generates at the bottom of the [[Overworld]] and [[the Nether]] in order to prevent players from falling into the void. 

The bedrock ceiling in the Nether was intended to prevent players from accessing the Nether ceiling, which was meant to be an empty out-of-bounds area where players cannot build. This remains true {{in|Bedrock}}. However, in [[Java Edition 1.2.1]], the world height was doubled from 127 to 255, a change which was applied in all three dimensions, allowing players to build on the Nether ceiling. Due to the number of players taking advantage of this change, it was decided by Mojang that this was to be treated as an intended feature.<ref>{{Bug|MC-180755|||WAI}}</ref>

Bedrock generates as part of important structures in [[the End]], including crucial elements of the ender dragon fight, as well as the gateways and the exit portals, in order to prevent them from being broken and keep them accessible and usable.

Mobs do not spawn on bedrock. [[Endermen]] are unable to place the block they are holding onto bedrock.

[[Beacon]]s treat bedrock as a transparent block, meaning their beams can pass through it, allowing beacons to be used in the Nether.

In the End, any fire on bedrock never extinguishes naturally, similar to [[netherrack]].

=== Trapping the wither ===
{{main|Tutorials/Wither cage}}
Since bedrock is indestructible in Survival, it can be used against [[wither]]s. Certain configurations of bedrock (such as that found under the exit portal) can be used to securely trap withers by spawning them below the bedrock. The wither can then be easily killed, utilized to break blocks automatically, or used to farm [[wither rose]]s.

=== End crystal ===
Bedrock is one of the only two blocks on which [[end crystal]]s can be placed, the other being [[obsidian]].

Placing an [[end crystal]] on bedrock in the End sets it on fire.

=== Note blocks ===
[[Note block]]s can be placed above bedrock to produce "bass drum" sounds.

=== Piston interactivity ===
Bedrock is unable to be pushed or pulled by either of the [[piston]] variants (regular or sticky).

== Issues ==
{{Issue list|-bedrock_edition|-minecraft_bedrock|-bedrock_platform|-xbox_bedrock|-parity|-Java|bedrock}}

== Trivia ==
* Outside of ''[[Minecraft]]'', "{{w|bedrock|newtab=1}}" means any solid rock beneath the soil layer (i.e. anything below dirt, sand, gravel. etc.). In real life, bedrock is breakable.
* [[Stronghold]]s and the end portal can override generated bedrock.
* The bedrock texture, in both the Default and Programmer Art [[resource pack]]s, is a variant of the [[stone]] block with increased contrast.
* [[Vex]]es and the [[ender dragon]] can fly through bedrock. Additionally, the ender dragon cannot break bedrock.
