A pedestal is a block used to create a potato portal, only present in 24w14potato.

Obtaining

Pedestals are not obtainable as an inventory item in Survival, even with Silk Touch. They are available through the Creative inventory or commands.

Breaking

Pedestals have no assigned tool, meaning they are mined at the same speed regardless of the tool used. A pedestal never drops as an item when mined.

They are highly blast resistant and have the same hardness as reinforced deepslate.

Natural generation

Pedestals can generate naturally in ruined portatols, in villages both in the Overworld and in Potato dimension, at the center of end portals in strongholds, and in colosseums.

Usage

Potato portals

When a poisonous potato is used on a pedestal, a potato portal is spawned above the pedestal. This does not work if pedestal is placed in the Nether or the End (where they do not generate naturally). Additionally, block above the pedestal must be air or a replaceable block, like water or snow.

Piston interactivity

Pedestals cannot be pushed or pulled by pistons. They can, however, be moved by floataters.

Sounds

Generic

This section uses a sound table which may not accurately represent the sounds associated with this feature.
 
Because of MC-177082, subtitles for falling on blocks may not have existed at this point in development, so a dedicated sound table accounting for this may be required.
