Slot

This article needs to be updated.

 

Please update this page to reflect recent updates or newly available information.
Reason: A lot has changed with slots since this page was actually majorly updated, example: the offhand slot for players is no longer the -106th slot of the inventory, it's now located in the "equipment.offhand" NBT tag, and the page also contains a lot of incorrect info in general.

A slot is a location in the data of a block entity or entity that an item stack can be placed in.

Java Edition

A slot is defined by its slot index.

Command argument

In commands, a slot should be referred by a string name instead of its index. The string name is mapped to its index when executing command.

A string name of slot consists of slot type and optional slot number, in the format of <slot_type> or <slot_type>.<slot_number>.

/execute if items command also supports wildcarded slot names:

• container.*: contains container.0 to container.53.
• hotbar.*: contains hotbar.0 to hotbar.8.
• inventory.*: contains inventory.0 to inventory.26.
• enderchest.*: contains enderchest.0 to enderchest.26.
• villager.*: contains villager.0 to villager.7.
• horse.*: contains horse.0 to horse.14.
• weapon.*: contains weapon.mainhand, and weapon.offhand.
• armor.*: contains armor.head, armor.chest, armor.legs, armor.feet, and armor.body.
• player.crafting.*: contains player.crafting.0 to player.crafting.3.

Bedrock Edition

Command argument

In commands, a slot is referred by two arguments: slot type and slot number.

For a block, its slot type is slot.container.

• Barrels, chests, dispensers, droppers, hoppers, shulker boxs and trapped chests are numbered 0 for the top-left slot and then increase first horizontally, then vertically (so, for example, a chest's top row slots are numbered 0 to 8 from left to right). Double chests and double trapped chests are treated as two single container blocks.
• A brewing stand's bottom slots are numbered 0 to 2 from left to right, its top slot is 3 and the fuel slot is 4.
• A furnace's slots are numbered 0 for the input slot, 1 for the fuel slot, and 2 for the output slot.
