Bone blocks are storage blocks equivalent to 9 pieces of bone meal.
Bone blocks can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing.
Bone blocks are generated naturally as part of fossil structures found in desert and swamp biomes. They also generate as part of nether fossils in soul sand valley biomes and also in trial chambers indicating trial spawners if it is a skeleton and a mixture with podzol indicating if it is a bogged.
