Usage

Blocks of emerald can be used to store Minecraft:emeralds in a compact fashion or used as decorative blocks.

Beacons

Blocks of emerald can be used to "power" a Minecraft:beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of emerald blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7, and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely emerald blocks, as they may also contain Minecraft:blocks of iron, Minecraft:blocks of gold, Minecraft:blocks of netherite, and Minecraft:blocks of diamond.
