{{Q|As you’re digging through the deepslate, you’re still likely to encounter the ores that you find above – they just take longer to mine, because the rock surrounding them is harder. Be wary, though – if a block of deepslate crumbles quickly under your pick, it’s probably full of holes dug by silverfish, and these strange creatures will likely attack.|Duncan Geere in [https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/block-week--deepslate Block of the Week: Deepslate]|image=Deepslate.png}} | {{Q|As you’re digging through the deepslate, you’re still likely to encounter the ores that you find above – they just take longer to mine, because the rock surrounding them is harder.

{{Q|One nifty trick is to use them in redstone circuitry. Delaying an item falling onto a pressure plate or into a hopper can add a longish pause – about 25 seconds – before the effects of a circuit activating. You could use that feature to keep a door open for a while before closing it again, for example.|Duncan Geere in [https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/block-week--cobweb Block of the Week: Cobweb]|image=Cobweb.png}} | {{Q|One nifty trick is to use them in redstone circuitry.

{{Q|If you want some, you’ll need a block of wood or hyphae, stripped or otherwise. Plonk it into a crafting grid and it’ll yield four planks of the same variety.

{{Q|Ancient debris, if you look closely, is actually a cluster of corroded metal plates that contain small amounts of the incredibly strong material Netherite.

{{Q|Being able to move blocks allows you to create all sorts of machines; conveyor belts, elevators, combine harvesters, flying machines, huge automatic doors, and much more.

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox series Block of the Week was a series of articles on Minecraft:Minecraft.net that were written by Minecraft:Duncan Geere, Minecraft:Tom Stone, Minecraft:Marsh Davies, and Minecraft:Alex Wiltshire. Each article is dedicated to a specific Minecraft:block, describing its history, features, and uses. After the final article was published, a sequel series was published, which is called Minecraft:Block of the Month.
