These blocks are made from wood and have the potential to catch on fire and burn down. The amount of light they give off varies and opaque blocks will block light whereas transparent blocks will have no effect or weaken the light. Some blocks will emit light like torches, glowstone, or sea pickles. Other blocks are affected by gravity, like gravel or sand, and will fall downwards until they reach something they can land on. Air is a block in Minecraft that is fully transparent, unbreakable, and acts as a substitute for empty space. There are some special rules for particular blocks and therefore some blocks have special properties. Other blocks are semi-transparent and not entirely solid like tall grass or flowers.

Some blocks are opaque and fill the entire space of the grid-like stone or dirt blocks. Blocks and fluids make up the entirety of Minecraft worlds. Of course, there are a few exceptions such as slabs or layers of snow. The three dimensions form a grid that typically one block will occupy. There are three planes of dimension and blocks that occupy this space. Simply selecting the block in your Hotbar and right-clicking will place the block as long as the block is allowed to be there. Some blocks are opaque and fill the entire space of the grid, while other blocks are semi-transparent and not entirely solid. There are 643 blocks with each block having its own texture, behavior, and uses.
