A block of resin, internally known as a resin block, is a block equivalent to nine resin clumps. It acts as a good temporary block being broken instantly without having any unusual properties, and can be used to craft creaking hearts.

Obtaining

Blocks of resin can be broken instantly, regardless of held items, or when under the Mining Fatigue effect. When broken, it drops itself.

Natural generation

Blocks of resin can generate in pale garden abandoned camps.​[upcoming: Third Drop 2026]

Usage

Because blocks of resin can be broken instantly without any tool, and do not have unusual interactions like slime block, honey block, and TNT, they can be used as a temporary building block that is easy to place and break.[1]
