Minecraft Blocks
Blocks are what minecraft is all about. They’re the building pieces that make up the world you play in, and allow you to let your imagination go wild.
Almost all blocks can be aquired without using creative mode or other inventory editors. However, some blocks require a silk touch enchantment, which allows the player to harvest a block in it’s original state, rather than converting it to something else. Examples are grass blocks, which turn to dirt when you dig them up or ore blocks, which drop the ores.
A block is about a cubic meter if you’d compare it to real life, which makes a minecraft character about 1.70 meters (5′ 7″). The texture of a block is a cube of 16x16x16 pixels, but there are texture packs that have higher resolution textures.
There are over 100 different blocks, which can be divided in many different categories, like ores, plants, stones, mechanisms and many more. In this section, we’ll briefly describe each block, but for more information about the blocks or extra tips on how best to gather them, please refer to their individual articles. Some blocks could theoratically fall under more than one category, but in this section we’ve only placed each block in one category.
