Blocks

Diorite

• Crafting recipe: 2 cobblestone and 2 Nether quartz in a checker board pattern.

Andesite

• Crafting recipe: 1 cobblestone and 1 diorite.

Granite

• Crafting recipe: 1 Nether quartz and 1 diorite.

Coarse dirt

• Replaces the grassless dirt variant found in mega taiga, mesa and savanna biomes.

  • All worlds with grassless dirt blocks will seamlessly change over to coarse dirt, as it uses the same block ID and data value as the original grassless dirt block.

• Slightly darker texture than regular dirt.

• Silk touch is not required for obtaining it in survival.

• Tilling coarse dirt with a hoe will turn it to regular dirt.

• Crafting recipe: dirt and gravel in a 2×2 checkered pattern yields four coarse dirt.

Prismarine

• Generates in ocean monuments.

• Can be crafted with prismarine shards.

• The cracks in prismarine appear to slowly change color between brown, blue, gray and purple.

Prismarine bricks

• Generate in ocean monuments.

• Can be crafted with prismarine shards.

Dark prismarine

• Generate in ocean monuments.

• Can be crafted with prismarine shards and an ink sac.

Red sandstone

• Can be crafted with 4 red sand in a square.

• Can be crafted into chiseled, smooth, stair and slab forms.

  • Chiseled variant has a wither pattern to complement the creeper pattern found in chiseled sandstone.

  • Slabs have a smooth variant, similar to stone and sandstone.

  • Comes as a smooth double slab – minecraft:double_stone_slab2:8.

• Generated only in Mesa biomes at cave entrances.

Iron trapdoor

• Can only be opened and closed using redstone, similar to an iron door.

• Crafting recipe: iron ingots in a 2×2 pattern.

Sea lantern

• Generate in ocean monuments.

• Can be crafted with prismarine shards and prismarine crystals.

• Emit light at a light level of 15 and have a subtle animated texture.

Wet sponge

• Obtained when a sponge soaks up water.

• Smelting a wet sponge yields a dry sponge.

  • When smelted, they will fill empty buckets in the fuel slot with water if possible.

• Emits water dripping particles while placed.

• Dropped by elder guardians on player kills.

Slime block

• Crafting recipe: 9 slime balls.

  • Can be crafted back into 9 slime balls.

• Players and mobs that land on their top side will bounce, like on a trampoline.

  • This negates all fall damage.

    • Holding ⇧ Shift will negate the rebound, while still negating the fall damage.

  • Bounce rebound velocity is scaled by impact velocity.

    • Height can reach up to 60% of initial height, which implies a great restitution coefficient.

  • Does not affect falling item entities.

• Walking on it is slower than walking on soul sand and close to one's speed while sneaking.

• The placing/breaking sounds use the hurt sounds of slimes.

• Can be mined with only one click, without any tools in survival.

• Slime blocks will push and pull each other, along with adjacent blocks, when at least one of them is moved by a sticky piston.

  • Normal pistons will have the same effect, except that they fail to pull even a single slime block.

  • Coded by KaboPC and Panda4994.[2][3] Follow all the existing rules that pistons followed:

    • A chain of slime blocks and its adjacent blocks connected to a piston, in any arrangement, can be moved as long as the following conditions are met:

      • The piston is not moving more than twelve blocks at a time.

      • Non-movable blocks are not obstructing the path.

      • Not a single slime block in the chain is attached to the piston itself.

  • Allows for moveable contraptions.

• Extending a piston with a slime block attached will propel adjacent entities (mobs, players, items, launched arrows, etc.) in the appropriate direction.[4]

Banners

• Crafted like signs, but with one color of wool instead of planks.

  • The color of wool represents the base color.

• Can be stacked to 16.

• Most patterns are created by arranging dyes in certain ways around a banner on a crafting table (see the page on banners for a full list).

  • Other patterns are achieved with specific items.

    • Item – pattern: "creeper head – creeper face", "wither skeleton skull – skull and crossbones", "brick block – brick texture background", "oxeye daisy – flower icon", "vines – curly border" and "enchanted golden apple – Mojang logo.

    • Making these patterns without dyes will result in a black color by default

• Banners can have up to six layers (in survival).

  • Over a quadrillion possible combinations, counting rotations and visually identical patterns due to occlusion.

  • The layers show in the order they were created.

  • Custom banners with more than six layers are possible using commands.

• Top-most layer can be removed using cauldrons.

  • This removes a third of the water of a full cauldron.

  • All layers can be removed.

• Can be placed on walls or on the ground.

• They are visually like an entity that is one block wide and two blocks tall, but in reality they are a block occupying the lower portion, but having a bigger model.

  • The hitbox is smaller than a full block, and it lacks any collision properties.

    • This allows for a solid block to occupy the upper portion of the banner.

  • They are vulnerable to be destroyed by either water or lava flows.

  • On the ground they have 16 different possible rotations (like an armor stand).

  • Has an animation when placed on the ground, that simulates swaying with the wind.

• Can be worn as head gear, but only using the /replaceitem command.

• Can be cloned by crafting them together, with a blank banner of the corresponding base color.

• Can be used as fuel in furnaces.

Barriers

• Acts like bedrock, but is completely transparent.

  • Can transfer redstone signals and allows blocks and entities to be placed on it.

  • Can only be destroyed and obtained in Creative mode.

  • It gives the same particles as lava does when destroyed.
