    AmnesticCauses a villager to forget who they are |
The recipe is unlocked by picking up Estus ash (glowstone dust).[2] Amnestics stack to 64.[3]
Usage
On a villager
An Amnestic is used by right-clicking a villager with it. The pack then finds the villager nearest to a point about 1.5 blocks in front of the player's eyes (normally the one clicked) and:[4][5][6]
- plays a low-pitched villager sound;
- sets its profession to none, its level to 1 (Novice) and its experience to 0, which removes its trades;
- makes it forget its job site block;
- resets its restock timer;
- clears its favorite food flag, so it is given a new favorite food.
One Amnestic is used up, unless the player is in Creative mode.
The villager becomes unemployed and can take any profession from a nearby job site block, starting at Novice with the current trade lists.
Eating
An Amnestic can also be eaten, which takes 1.6 seconds and removes every recipe the player has unlocked, so recipes unlock afresh as items are picked up.[7][8]
Behavior
The Amnestic is a poisonous potato with its food component removed, so eating it has no other effect.[9]
History
| 1.10 | Added. |
|---|---|
| 1.12.2 | No longer resets the villager's experience. |
| 1.12.3 | Clears the villager's favorite food, so it is given a new one.[10] |
| 1.12.6-alpha | Reworked from a chicken spawn egg that placed an invisible armor stand into a consumable. It is used by right-clicking a villager instead of being placed, plays a sound, resets the villager's experience to 0 again and makes it forget its job site. It can also be eaten, which resets the player's unlocked recipes. The tooltip loses its "Place on the ground next to them" line.[6] |
Trivia
- The recipe uses an azure bluet, and the 1.10 release notes call the item "a little forget-me-not".
- The item's model is named
amnestic_wrapped.
