Introducing YapDB — Our Minecraft Reference Database

We built a massive, searchable Minecraft Bedrock database covering every entity, block, item, biome, and recipe. Now it's free for everyone — writers, modders, and curious players alike.

What Is YapDB?

YapDB is a comprehensive Minecraft Bedrock Edition reference database. It covers every entity, block, item, biome, recipe, and trading table in the vanilla game — extracted directly from Mojang’s official behavior and resource packs.

We’re talking 126 entities, 1,197 blocks, 434 items, 87 biomes, and over 1,600 recipes — all searchable, browsable, and kept current with every Minecraft update.

Why We Built It

When you write Minecraft fiction, accuracy matters. Kids will notice if you get a crafting recipe wrong or describe a biome that doesn’t exist. Our editorial team needed a reliable, detailed reference — so we built one.

YapDB started as an internal tool. Every entity page includes spawn rules, loot tables, and behavior data. Every block page shows properties, states, and recipes. Every item page connects to crafting, smelting, and brewing paths. It’s the kind of detail you can’t get from a wiki that’s still debating edit wars.

Why We’re Sharing It

Because we think the Minecraft community deserves better reference tools. YapDB is:

  • Always current — data is extracted directly from Mojang’s bedrock-samples, currently tracking version 1.26.10.4
  • Fast — static site, no ads, no popups, no cookie banners
  • Complete — if it’s in the vanilla behavior pack, it’s in YapDB
  • Linked — entities connect to their loot tables, recipes connect to their ingredients, biomes connect to their spawn rules

What You Can Find

  • Entities — every mob, projectile, and entity with spawn rules, loot, and behavior data
  • Blocks — all 1,197 blocks with properties and block states
  • Items — every item and its crafting/smelting paths
  • Biomes — world generation biomes and their characteristics
  • Recipes — crafting, smelting, and brewing recipes
  • Trading — villager and wandering trader trade tables

The Bigger Picture

This is the first of our internal research tools we’re releasing publicly. At BlockMyth, we build a lot of tooling to help our team write and edit video game content accurately. YapDB was the obvious first candidate — it’s useful to far more people than just our editors.

We have more tools in the pipeline. Stay tuned.
