Minecraft Block Compendium

Every block has an ID such as minecraft:oak_planks. Commands use the ID, not the name you see in game. IDs are lowercase with underscores, and the minecraft: prefix is optional in most commands. Use the search to find the ID of a block by its in-game name in your language.

Many blocks come in several states: a door can be open or closed, a stair can face four ways, and redstone dust has a power level. The States column shows how many different states a block has in total. To place a specific state, add it in square brackets, for example /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:oak_stairs[facing=east,half=top].

Tags group blocks that behave alike. #minecraft:logs holds every log, #minecraft:mineable/pickaxe holds the blocks a pickaxe breaks fastest and #minecraft:needs_iron_tool holds blocks that need at least an iron tool to drop. Datapacks and commands such as /execute if block ~ ~ ~ #minecraft:logs use these tags. Choose a group to see only its blocks.

/setblock places the block at your position, ~ ~ ~, and /give hands you the item. A few blocks have no item (for example fire or water), so /give will not work for them. Command blocks and the /fill command accept the same IDs.

We generated the list from the official Java Edition 26.3 server (its block report and block tags) and the game's own language files for the names. It covers Java Edition. Bedrock uses many of the same IDs but not all of them, so check the ID in game on Bedrock.
