A test instance block is a technical block that is used for game tests.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Test instance blocks are available using the /setblock, /fill, /give, or /test commands, and are available in the Creative inventory under the Operator Utilities tab. When placed, test instance blocks are unbreakable in Survival and have the same blast resistance as bedrock.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Test instance blocks cannot be placed in Survival. When placed, use the test instance block to open its GUI. The GUI opens only if the player is in Creative mode, and has permission level 2 or higher. Based on the status of the test, the block produces a beam similarly to a beacon, with the color being
 #808080
for a running test,
 #00ff00
for a successful test,
 #ff0000
for a failed required test, and
 #ff8000
for a failed optional test.
