Blocks of emerald can be used to store emeralds in a compact fashion or used as decorative blocks.
Blocks of emerald can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3Γ3 square of emerald blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5Γ5, 7Γ7, and 9Γ9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely emerald blocks, as they may also contain blocks of iron, blocks of gold, blocks of netherite, and blocks of diamond.
