Overview
Bell is a redstone component in the Redstone category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and generated structures. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Bell.
As a redstone component, Bell is wired into contraptions and circuits; its behaviour is what gives builders the logic and timing to automate farms, doors, and machines. On the hardness scale Bell sits at 5. Bell takes the same 5 from an explosion. A pickaxe makes Bell quick, and even the cheapest one still drops it. Generated chests only ever hold Bell in one place: ruined portal chests (roughly 1 in 67).

Notes
Generates naturally in villages. Ringing it during a raid highlights nearby hostile mobs through walls.
