This article documents an April Fools' Day joke.
 
This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.

The cursor is a joke block introduced in Java Edition 20w14∞ with an animated texture that changes its color every second, toggling between lime and black concrete.

Obtaining Edit

Cursors are available in the creative inventory, and naturally generate in the "terminal" dimension.

Breaking Edit

Cursor requires a pickaxe to be mined. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

  1. These durations ignore other influential factors (e.g. Mining Fatigue), and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

Natural generation Edit

The block naturally generates in "terminal" dimension as the blinking "_" next to a "C:\" made of lime concrete. It appears to be cycling between black and lime concrete in appearance, which is what the rest of the "terminal" dimension is made of.
