Some of the most common blocks in Minecraft, clockwise from the left: stone, sand, dirt, and grass

Blocks are the basic units of a structure in Minecraft that make up the game's world. Many blocks can be collected and placed anywhere, and can also be used as helpful resources.

Behavior

👁 Image
A variety of different blocks occurring in an underwater coral reef: sand lining the ground, cut sandstone in underwater ruin structures, and various forms of coral

Blocks are arranged in a 3-dimensional grid of 1-cubic-meter cells, although some blocks appear to occupy a partial cell; these include slabs, snow layers, ladders, vines, stairs, turtle eggs, and sea pickles, among others.

Collectively, blocks and fluids make up the in-game environment, and most can be harvested and utilized in various fashions. Some blocks, such as dirt and sandstone, are opaque and occupy their entire cubic meter, while others, such as glass and flowers, are transparent or non-solid. Explosions destroy some blocks more easily than they destroy others, while some are virtually immune to explosions. They can still be theoretically exploded.

Air is a special block that acts as a substitute for the absence of blocks. It has two variants: cave air and void air.‌[Java Edition only]

Some blocks, such as sea lanterns and glowstone, emit light, the amount of which varies widely; see this table of light values for further information. Opaque blocks completely block light, while transparent blocks have no effect on light, block the light, or merely weaken it.

Almost all blocks ignore gravity, except for sand, red sand, gravel, anvils of all damage levels, dragon eggs, all colors of concrete powder, scaffolding, snow layers‌[BE only], pointed dripstone, suspicious sand, and suspicious gravel. These turn into entities when their support is removed.

When broken, blocks emit sounds and particles associated with themselves, except in the following cases:

  • If the block is affected by gravity and falls into an invalid space (If the block is gravity based and drops onto a torch, for example).[1]
  • Anvils that are destroyed by running out of durability or falling. Only particles are missing.[2]
  • If the block can be washed away and is washed away by a flowing fluid.[3]
  • If the block can be replaced by other blocks and is replaced.[4]
  • If the block is one of a few blocks such as rails or redstone wire, supported by another block and its supporting block is removed.[5]
  • If the block is leaves and decays.[6]

Block height

Main article: Solid block § Height

Most solid blocks are 1 meter high (3.28084... feet or 1250⁄381 feet), but several blocks have non-standard block heights, such as slabs.

A player can automatically step up from a lower to a higher height if the difference is at most 0.6 (3⁄5) of a block or 1.9685... feet (250⁄127 feet).

Textures

Main articles: Textures and List of block textures

The textures on the faces of most blocks are 16×16 pixels, which control all colors and transparencies. Exceptions include candles, sculk sensors, and other blocks with animations, which use texture files with multiple frames, and block entity textures which are rendered in different models. Some blocks with square textures have different textures for faces, such as logs.

With Vibrant Visuals and ray tracing, the game uses multiple texture files on top of the color textures, which affects how light and reflections behave on the block. The MERS (MER with ray tracing) texture map is used to define per pixel how metallic (reflects all light), emissive (produces its own light), or rough (absorbs all light) it is, with an additional subsurface scattering (how light is scattered on the surface) applied to Vibrant Visuals only. With resource packs, other texture maps are also used, including normal and heightmaps. These change depth of the block, and can add multiple 3D effects.

Using resource packs, the player can change the textures and resolution of blocks, including whether their texture is animated. They can also change the shapes of blocks using models and the size of blocks to any size with equal width and height, though sizes that are a power of two tend to work better.

List of blocks

Technical blocks

Main article: Technical blocks

Technical blocks serve various purposes during events within the game, or use a separate name spaced ID in order to avoid unnecessary combinations of block states. In Java Edition technical blocks do not exist as items, while in Bedrock Edition they may be obtained using inventory editors or add-ons.


Education blocks

These blocks can be accessed only in Minecraft Education and in Bedrock Edition when education options are enabled (Elements are not listed here). In Bedrock Edition, boards, posters, and slates can be obtained only through inventory editors.



Removed blocks

Outright removed blocks

These blocks were removed from the game entirely.

Removed through substitution

These blocks were "retconned" into other blocks through a major simultaneous name and texture change.

Non-standard metadata variants

Some blocks and states of blocks were distinguished via numerical metadata in previous versions of the game. Having metadata values outside of the accepted range could produce unintended results for some block IDs.


Joke blocks

These blocks only exist in April Fools' Day joke versions of the game.

History

Block additions and removals

This section is missing information about: New Nintendo 3DS additions - many pages say blocks were added to Creative mode as the first history mention of them but don't say when they were actually added to the game, even as potentially unobtainable blocks
 
Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

Unique blocks are defined as having unique namespaced IDs in current versions of Java Edition, excluding obvious technical variants such as potted plants and wall attachments of blocks, but including the rose. Unintentional metadata variants are also not included.

Issues

Issues relating to "Block" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

  • Certain blocks may interpret positions they cannot be placed in by normal means as a valid position. For example, a sign placed in midair via /setblock remains in midair even when updated, until either it is broken, or a block is placed below it and broken.
