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?
