'''Chains''' are metallic decoration [[block]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Chains can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing.
{{breaking row|Chain|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1}}
=== Natural generation ===
Chains can generate in treasure room [[bastion remnant]]s and sometimes in [[ruined portal]]s that generate in [[the Nether]]. They always generate above [[magma cube]] spawners, also found in treasure room bastions.
Chains can also generate in [[mineshaft]]s. They generate on the sides of a wooden bridge (a mid-air corridor) when the distance between the bridge and the highest solid block below it is higher than the distance to the lowest solid block above it. Chains here generate vertically in a pillar between the bridge and the ceiling. The lowest block of the pillar, connecting the chain to the bridge, is always an [[oak fence]].
In addition, chains can also generate in [[trial chambers]] making up various hanging platforms in certain rooms.

== Usage ==
Chains can be used to suspend [[bell]]s, [[hanging sign]]s, [[lantern]]s, and [[soul lantern]]s, as the chain texture connects to the chain of the lantern seamlessly as if it were part of it, and it connects the hanging sign chains together. Chains do not require a supporting block to be placed whether it is on the top, next to it or at the bottom. It can exist completely free-standing in mid air<ref>{{bug|MC-178791|||Invalid}}</ref> and it can be rotated. Chains connect horizontally or vertically, but not across different orientations (so a chain with N orientation does not connect to a chain with E orientation in the adjacent block).
Horizontal chains one block above a surface may be walked over. Horizontal chains two blocks above a surface prevent players from traveling past them. Vertical chains block travel if targeted directly, but may be skirted.
Precision is required, but chains can be walked on, allowing for inconspicuous, although somewhat costly, bridges.
Chains can be pushed by [[piston]]s without being broken.
{{IN|Bedrock}}, chains are not [[conductivity|conductive]], but the comparator can work in being separated from the measured block by a chain.

== Issues ==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* A vertical chain, being a solid, but not a full [[block]], allows for many sizes of [[mob]]s and [[player]]s to pass alongside each piece horizontally.
* Despite its name, it cannot be [[craft]]ed into [[chainmail armor]].<ref>{{bug|MC-178979|||Invalid}}</ref>
* Chains do not stick together when moved by pistons, regardless of orientation.
