Tutorial:Obtaining every block

Obtaining every block is a very, very difficult task. However, it can still be done. This tutorial only covers blocks that are obtained without exploiting glitches.

Stone blocks

Granite, Diorite, Tuff and Andesite

These blocks can be obtained by mining themselves. They generate very commonly underground. Tuff generates as blobs below y=0.

Cobblestone and Cobbled Deepslate

These blocks can be obtained by mining stone and deepslate respectively without silk touch. Stone generates above y=0 while deepslate generates below that (stone gradually becomes deepslate below y=8).

Netherrack, Soul Sand, Soul Soil, and Basalt

These blocks can be obtained by mining themselves. They generate in the nether.

End Stone

This block can be obtained by mining itself in the end.

Stone, Deepslate, and Nylium

These blocks can be obtained my mining themselves using silk touch. Stone and deepslate generate in the overworld while nylium generates in the nether.

Ores

These blocks can only be obtained by mining them with silk touch (except for ancient debris).

Overworld Ores

These blocks appear in the overworld. Deepslate variants can be obtained if the ore replaced deepslate.

Coal Ore

Coal ore generates from y=0 to y=320, and is most commonly found at y=45.

Deepslate Coal Ore

Deepslate coal ore is much rarer than regular coal ore. One should mine at y=0 to y=7 if they want to obtain it.

Copper Ore

Copper ore generates from y=-16 to y=112, and is most commonly found at y=43 and in dripstone caves.

Lapis Lazuli Ore

Lapis lazuli ore generates from y=-64 to y=64, and is most commonly found at y=45.

Iron Ore

Iron ore generates in every layer except for y=73 to y=79, and is most commonly found at y=14.

Gold Ore

Gold ore generates from y=-64 to y=32 or y=256 in badlands, and is most commonly found at y=-18 or y=32 to y=256 if in badlands.

Redstone Ore and Diamond Ore

Redstone ore and diamond ore generate from y=-64 to y=16, and are most commonly found at y=-59.

Emerald Ore

Emerald ore generates from y=-16 to y=320, but only in windswept hills and mountain biomes, and is most commonly found at y=85.

Deepslate Emerald Ore

Deepslate emerald ore is much, much rarer than regular emerald ore, only appearing from y=-16 to y=7, but since lush caves, dripstone caves, or deep dark biomes can generate below windswept hills and mountain biomes, they are made even rarer. One should mine at y=0-7 and have many pickaxes in case any of them breaks if they want to obtain it.

Nether Ores

These blocks appear in the nether. They generate at almost every layer.

Nether Quartz Ore and Nether Gold Ore

Nether quartz ore and nether gold ore are most commonly found at y=114.

Ancient Debris

Ancient debris is most commonly found at y=16.

Metal blocks

Block of Copper

Blocks of copper can be obtained by copper ingots, which can be obtained by smelting raw copper. Crafting 9 copper ingots gives you a copper block. The copper block can oxidize and stopping it from oxidizing requires waxing from honeycombs.

Cut Copper

Cut Copper can be crafted by 4 Blocks of Copper.

Cut Copper Slab

Cut Copper Slabs is crafted similarly to any other slab, using cut copper.

Chiseled Copper

Chiseled Copper can be crafted by 2 Cut Copper Slabs.

Cut Copper Stairs

Cut Copper Stairs is crafted similarly to any other stair block, using cut copper.

Copper Grate

Copper Grates can be crafted using 4 Blocks of Copper in a rhombus like shape.

Copper Door and Trapdoor

Copper Doors and Trapdoors can be crafted similarly to any other trapdoor and door, but using copper ingots. Oxidized variants of copper doors and trapdoors cannot be crafted.

Block of Iron

Blocks of iron can be crafted with 9 iron ingots. To get iron ingots, mine iron ores without using Silk Touch, then smelt the raw iron.

Block of Raw Iron

Blocks of raw iron can be crafted with 9 raw iron. Simply mine iron ore without using Silk Touch and don't smelt the raw iron at all. Alternatively, blocks of raw iron can be rarely found inside of large veins of iron ore below Y=0.

Tree-related blocks

Logs

Logs can be obtained by mining themselves. They generate as part of trees aboveground.

Leaves

Leaves can be obtained by mining themselves with shears or silk touch. They generate also as part of trees.

Saplings

Saplings can be obtained by mining leaves without shears or silk touch. They have a 2.5% (jungle saplings) or a 5% (other saplings) chance to drop.

Dirt-related blocks

Dirt

Dirt can be obtained by mining them, farmland, dirt paths, grass blocks, mycelium, or podzol without silk touch.

Grass Block, Mycelium, and Podzol

These blocks can be obtained by mining them with silk touch.

Dirt Path

Dirt paths can be obtained by mining them with silk touch.‌
