What Is Bell in Minecraft?

A Bell is a shiny golden block that hangs in the centre of villages. Ringing it sends all nearby villagers running to their beds for safety - and if there is a raid happening, it makes all nearby raid mobs glow so you can spot them through walls!

How Does Bell Work?

  • Right-click it to ring it - nearby villagers will run to their beds.
  • A Redstone signal will also ring it once.
  • Any projectile (arrow, trident, snowball) hitting it will ring it too.
  • When rung during a raid, all raid mobs within 48 blocks glow for 3 seconds.
  • Hardness 5 - a pickaxe breaks it fastest.

How to Get Bell

How to Mine Bell

  • A pickaxe breaks it fastest, but any tool works.
  • It always drops itself when broken.

How to Get Bell

  • Bells generate naturally near the centre of every village - just find a village!
  • You can also buy one from an Armorer, Toolsmith or Weaponsmith villager for 36 Emeralds.
  • Rarely found in Ruined Portal chests (about 1.5% chance).

How to Use Bell

How to Use Bell

  • Place it in your village or base and right-click it to sound the alarm.
  • Villagers within earshot will rush to their beds - great for keeping them safe at night.

Bell and Raids

  • Ring a Bell during a raid to make all nearby illagers (pillagers, ravagers, witches) glow for 3 seconds - you can see them through walls to hunt them down.

Bell and Redstone

  • Power a Bell with Redstone to ring it automatically - use it as an alarm system.
