Additions

Blocks

Bone blocks

• Crafted by filling a 3×3 square in the crafting table with bone meal.
  • Can be crafted back into 9 bone meal.
• Found underground in desert and swamps as part of fossils.

Magma blocks

• Found in the Nether, generating 4 veins per chunk between y=27 and y=36.
  • It has a similar frequency to blocks like andesite in the Overworld.
• Crafted using four magma cream.
• Mobs and players take 1 damage every second while touching it, similar to a cactus.
  • Unlike cactus or fire, this block doesn't destroy items that touch it.
• If the player is sneaking, wearing Frost Walker–enchanted armor, or under the Fire Resistance effect, it does not take damage.
• If the player dies by standing on it, a new death message will appear: "player discovered that floor was lava".
  • If the player dies by the block, but after being damaged by a mob or player, the death message will be: "player walked into danger zone due to entity".
• Removes water blocks on top when randomly ticked.
• It produces smoke particles under the rain.
• It emits as much light as it receives from other sources.
  • e.g. A magma block next to a torch will emit light at level 13, as that was the light level it received from the torch.
    • If the torch were to be removed then it will search for the next brightest source of light; if no source is found then it will not produce light.

Nether wart blocks

• Crafted by filling a 3×3 square in the crafting table with nether wart.
  • It cannot be crafted back into nether wart.
• It is broken by flowing water or lava, like most plants are.

Red nether bricks

• Crafted by placing a 2×2 checkerboard of 2 nether brick and 2 nether wart in a crafting table.

Structure voids

• Used for the structure block to keep the blocks in that location.
  • Intended to be a replacement for the function barrier blocks used to convey, so they can form part of the structure itself.
• They are invisible and have a small hitbox.
  • They are only visible when using the feature in (save) structure void.
• Allows for empty spaces in a structure.
  • Unlike air, it will not overwrite blocks where it is loaded.
  • Example: If the player loads a 2-block-high structure with air at the top and a structure void at the bottom into a 2-block-high area of stone, the top block will become air but the bottom will stay stone.

  •  Load - loads saved structure files, replacing blocks with saved blocks except for structure void blocks.
  •  Corner - for automatic size calculation.
  •  Data - for chest markers and other blocks that require data (default).
