How to get bells in Minecraft?


Bells are only found in large villages close to the village center. They also appear in all village variants. Players can extract the bell with a pickaxe and it will be dropped to pick up.
They also appear in chests from destroyed portals, but only have a 1% chance.
Bells can also be exchanged at a villager’s weaponsmith for 36 emeralds. Weaponsmith villagers also sell them for the same price.
Uses of bells
- The bell is a block that can be used by the player, which makes a ringing sound and is fully animated.
- A bell can be placed near a bed to make it a claimed bell that represents the centerpiece of a village.
- Players can use a Minecraft bell in a village to wake up all sleeping villagers at night or during thunderstorms. However, when the villagers are out and about, the ringing of the bell sends them all home.
- When a raid enters, a villager runs and rings the bell while everyone runs towards their house to safety.
- In Java Edition, when a bell rings during a raid, the Glowing Status effect is applied to all mobs in the raid within a 48 block radius.
