Block of Emerald

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

Breaking

Mining blocks of emerald requires an iron pickaxe or better.

Usage

Blocks of emerald can be used to store emeralds in a compact fashion or used as decorative blocks.

Beacons

Blocks of emerald can be used to "power" a 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 blocks of iron, blocks of gold, blocks of netherite, and blocks of diamond.
