Tutorial:Obtaining every block
Obtaining every block is a very, very difficult task. However, it can still be done. This tutorial only covers blocks that are obtained without exploiting glitches.
Stone blocks
[edit | edit source]These blocks can be obtained by mining them. They generate very commonly underground. Tuff generates as blobs below y=0.
These blocks can be obtained by mining stone and deepslate respectively without silk touch. Stone generates above y=0 while deepslate generates below that (stone gradually becomes deepslate below y=8).
Netherrack, Soul Sand, Soul Soil, and Basalt
[edit | edit source]These blocks can be obtained by mining them. They generate in the Nether.
This block can be obtained by mining it in the End.
Stone, Deepslate, and Nylium
[edit | edit source]These blocks can be obtained by mining them using silk touch. Stone and deepslate generate in the overworld while nylium generates in the Nether.
Ores
[edit | edit source]These blocks can only be obtained by mining them with silk touch (except for ancient debris).
Overworld Ores
[edit | edit source]These blocks appear in the overworld. Deepslate variants can be obtained if the ore replaced deepslate.
Coal ore generates from y=0 to y=320, and is most commonly found at y=45.
Deepslate coal ore is much rarer than regular coal ore. One should mine at y=0 to y=7 if they want to obtain it.
Copper ore generates from y=-16 to y=112, and is most commonly found at y=43 and in dripstone caves.
Lapis lazuli ore generates from y=-64 to y=64, and is most commonly found at y=45.
Iron ore generates in every layer except for y=73 to y=79, and is most commonly found at y=14.
Gold ore generates from y=-64 to y=32 or y=256 in badlands, and is most commonly found at y=-18 or y=32 to y=256 if in badlands.
Redstone Ore and Diamond Ore
[edit | edit source]Redstone ore and diamond ore generate from y=-64 to y=16, and are most commonly found at y=-59.
Emerald ore generates from y=-16 to y=320, but only in windswept hills and mountain biomes, and is most commonly found at y=85.
Deepslate emerald ore is much, much rarer than regular emerald ore, only appearing from y=-16 to y=7, but since lush caves, dripstone caves, or deep dark biomes can generate below windswept hills and mountain biomes, they are made even rarer. One should mine at y=0-7 and have many pickaxes in case any of them breaks if they want to obtain it.
Nether Ores
[edit | edit source]These blocks appear in the Nether. They generate at almost every layer.
Nether quartz ore and Nether gold ore are most commonly found at y=114.
Ancient debris is most commonly found at y=16.
Metal blocks
[edit | edit source]Blocks of copper can be obtained by copper ingots, which can be obtained by smelting raw copper. Crafting 9 copper ingots gives you a copper block. The copper block can oxidize and stopping it from oxidizing requires waxing from honeycombs.
Cut Copper can be crafted by 4 Blocks of Copper.
Cut Copper Slabs is crafted similarly to any other slab, using cut copper.
Chiseled Copper can be crafted by 2 Cut Copper Slabs.
Cut Copper Stairs is crafted similarly to any other stair block, using cut copper.
Copper Grates can be crafted using 4 Blocks of Copper in a rhombus like shape.
Copper Door and Trapdoor
[edit | edit source]Copper Doors and Trapdoors can be crafted similarly to any other trapdoor and door, but using copper ingots. Oxidized variants of copper doors and trapdoors cannot be crafted.
Blocks of iron can be crafted with 9 iron ingots. To get iron ingots, mine iron ores without using Silk Touch, then smelt the raw iron.
Blocks of raw iron can be crafted with 9 raw iron. Simply mine iron ore without using Silk Touch and don't smelt the raw iron at all. Alternatively, blocks of raw iron can be rarely found inside of large veins of iron ore below Y=0.
Tree-related blocks
[edit | edit source]Logs
[edit | edit source]Logs can be obtained with any tool, including your fist. They generate as part of trees aboveground.
Leaves can be obtained by mining them with shears or silk touch. They generate also as part of trees.
Saplings (except mangrove propagule) can be obtained by mining leaves without shears or silk touch. They have a 2.5% (jungle saplings) or a 5% (other saplings) chance to drop. Mangrove propagules are obtainable by mining them in mangrove trees.
Dirt-related blocks
[edit | edit source]Dirt
[edit | edit source]Dirt can be obtained by mining them, farmland, dirt paths, grass blocks, mycelium, or podzol without silk touch.
Grass Block, Mycelium, and Podzol
[edit | edit source]These blocks can be obtained by mining them with silk touch.
Dirt paths can be obtained by mining them with silk touch.[Bedrock Edition only][1]
