FAQ

What tool do I need to mine a Bell?

Any tool works and it always drops itself; a pickaxe is fastest but not required.

Can a Bell be crafted?

No. Bells cannot be crafted — they must be obtained from village generation, trading, or Ruined Portal loot.

What happens when I ring a Bell?

Nearby villagers run to the nearest bed and any illagers within range are outlined with a glowing effect for several seconds.

Are Piglins interested in Bells?

Yes, Piglins treat dropped Bells as a gold-related item and will pause to inspect one before picking it up.
