About the Emerald Block

The Emerald Block is a compact storage block made from emeralds. It is mostly used to store large amounts of emeralds in a single slot, as a decorative green block, or as part of a beacon pyramid.

Key facts:

  • Compacts nine emeralds into one block.
  • Works as a beacon base.
  • Can be converted back into nine emeralds at any time.

It gives off no light and has no special interaction, so it is mainly a storage and building block.

How to get the Emerald Block

You can only get an Emerald Block by crafting it. Fill a 3x3 crafting grid with nine emeralds, one in each slot, to produce one block. It is not found naturally in chests or sold by villagers. If you place it, mine it with an iron pickaxe or better to get the block back.
