Block Classification
Core block classes, their behavior, and typical examples
| Class | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Solid | The most common and numerous type of blocks. Solids vary by hardness (mining speed), transparency, light emission, blast resistance; some are granular or flammable. | Cobblestone, Stone, Wood, Slime, Sand, Bedrock |
| Liquid | Liquids flow and create flowing blocks near sources. Farther from the source, flow weakens. Game liquid physics differs from real life: volume isn’t conserved and sources can float in air, creating infinite falling columns. Viscosity and water color vary by biome. | Water, Lava |
| Non-solid | Often considered a sub-type of solids. Most allow entities to pass through and are easily broken (e.g., by liquid contact). Include decorative, plant, and redstone-interactive elements. | Torch, Grass, Vines, Flowers, Rails, Cobweb (slows), Redstone dust & devices (plates, levers, buttons), Snow, Head, Flower Pot, Signs |
| Plasma-like | Special “phenomenon” blocks unavailable via crafting or normal commands (with rare bugs/exploits). Behave more like world effects than standard blocks. | Portals, Air, Void, Beacon Beam |
