Frequently Asked Questions
How is block mining time calculated?
MinecraftBible shows the standard formula: hardness × 1.5 seconds with the correct tool and hardness × 5 seconds by hand, labeled as approximate (unenchanted). Efficiency, Haste, and mining fatigue modify this at runtime.
What blocks require silk touch to obtain the block itself?
Ores like coal, redstone, diamond, emerald, lapis, and copper drop their raw materials by default; using Silk Touch drops the ore block itself. Blocks like grass block, glass, ice, and mycelium also require Silk Touch to preserve the exact block.
Which blocks emit light in Minecraft?
Glowstone, sea lanterns, jack o'lanterns, torches, redstone lamps (powered), lava, campfires, shroomlights, glow lichen, and beacons are among the strongest natural and craftable light sources. Each block page lists its exact light level.
How do drop tables handle Fortune vs Silk Touch?
Block detail pages surface item drops with condition tags — silk-touch, no-silk-touch, or player-kill — so you can see exactly which enchantment path yields which item without inaccurate percentage guesses.
Which blocks are best for building large structures?
Stone, deepslate, tuff, calcite, and quartz blocks give clean geometric palettes. For medieval or organic builds, mud bricks, terracotta, wood variants, and copper (with age progression) work well — each block page notes building-suitability context.
