# World rules

Mobs, travel, storage and cleanup: the differences to know in Survival.

## Mobs and drops

- **Warden** — a player kill gives 1 or 2 extra echo shards, with a 50% chance for each amount. Looting does not increase this bonus
- **Phantoms** — they no longer spawn naturally
- **Wither** — building its structure no longer summons it. Wither skeletons and their drops remain

## Mob groups

- **Group size** — some mobs stack up to 128
- **Each kill** — removes one mob from the group
- **Exceptions** — villagers, aquatic mobs, raiders and creepers are not stacked

## Blocks and navigation

- **Sculk** — it does not spread when mobs die
- **Beacons** — the beam remains, but grants no effects
- **Beds** — they do not change your respawn point
- **Player locator** — Minecraft's locator bar is disabled. Use your map to navigate

## Travel and food

- **Elytra** — fireworks do not boost it, even outside combat
- **Happy Ghast** — you cannot ride it
- **Chorus** — it restores two hunger bars, but no longer teleports you
- **Fire** — ignition and damage follow Minecraft 26.2 rules

## Brewing stands and item cleanup

- **Brewing stand** — no blaze powder is needed as fuel
- **Dropped items** — they are cleared every 60 minutes. Pick up your loot in time
- **Warnings** — messages appear 5 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds and 5 seconds beforehand
- **Mobs** — this cleanup does not remove them

## Rarer resources

- **Structures** — villages, monuments, mansions, ancient cities, trial chambers, bastions and Nether fortresses are further apart
- **Amethyst** — geodes are about 30% rarer
- **Ancient debris** — it is half as common
- **Netherite template** — its chance in bastion chests outside the treasure room drops from 10% to 5%. The treasure room keeps its guaranteed template

## Inactivity

- **Away status** — automatic away status is set to 5 minutes without activity
- **Disconnection** — it is set to 30 minutes of inactivity
- **Pickups** — dropped items are not picked up while away
- **Return** — move, interact or chat to become active again
