Netherrack is a frail stone block found abundantly in the Nether. Fire lit on top of netherrack burns indefinitely and cannot be extinguished by rain.
The suitable tool to break netherrack is pickaxe. Netherrack needs to be broken using a pickaxe, otherwise the breaking time will be higher and the block will drop nothing.
Netherrack drops itself when it's destroyed.
Netherrack makes up most of the Nether's terrain, and also generates as part of ruined portals in the Overworld and the Nether.
Netherrack generates as part of bridge and treasure room bastion remnants.
Nylium drops a netherrack block when destroyed using a pickaxe that is not enchanted with Silk Touch.
Crimson or warped nylium transforms into netherrack if a solid, opaque block is directly above it, or when it is covered by snow.[1]
In Bedrock Edition, netherrack generates as part of Nether portals spawned floating, making netherrack renewable.
Netherrack can be used as a cheap building block. Because of its abundance and softness, it can be used to construct temporary structures that can be used for scaffolding, blockage, or other purposes.
When netherrack's top is lit on fire, the fire burns indefinitely and isn't put out by rain. This fire can spread to flammable blocks adjacent to the netherrack.
Using bone meal on netherrack placed next to warped nylium or crimson nylium transforms the netherrack into more warped or crimson nylium.
