unlike torches, that would be washed out when placed in water. For example, Jack o' Lantern, glowstone, and sea lanterns can be used to light underwater areas, because they cannot be extinguished by water. All player-made structures are created by using multiple blocks of one, or several different varieties.Ĭertain blocks have special uses. Logs, for example, is one of the more useful blocks, due to its widespread use and requirement in many crafting recipes. Some blocks spawn naturally, such as dirt or stone while other blocks, such as bricks and redstone lamps, must be crafted by a player. They make up the in-game environments and can be collected, placed, and used in many different ways. Blocks are place-able, unlike most other objects (without the use of an item frame). For example, an emerald block functions as both a building material and compact means of storing emeralds. Each cube is unique and offers the player building materials, utilities, decoration, and crafting.
