Minecraft:Block of Emerald

Template:Infobox block A block of emerald, internally known as an emerald block, is a mineral Minecraft:block equivalent to nine Minecraft:emeralds.

Obtaining

Breaking

Mining blocks of emerald requires an Minecraft:iron pickaxe or better.

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.

Sounds

Blocks of emerald use "metal" sounds, despite emerald not being a Minecraft:metal.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
