About Bone Block

The Bone Block is a compact storage block made from bone meal. It is useful when you want to store large amounts of bone meal in one place, since a single block holds the equivalent of nine bone meal. Builders also use it for pale, fossil-themed, or desert ruins builds.

Key facts:

  • Craft one Bone Block from nine bone meal.
  • It breaks with a pickaxe and drops itself.
  • Note blocks placed on Bone Blocks produce a xylophone-like sound.

How to get Bone Block

You can craft Bone Blocks by filling a crafting grid with nine bone meal. They also generate naturally as part of fossils in desert and swamp biomes, and inside Nether fossils found in soul sand valleys. Mining one with a pickaxe drops the block, so you can collect them while exploring.
