Description

Honey block is a sticky translucent block that slows movement and that can attach to other blocks during mechanical motion. It has a warm amber colour that suits natural builds and apiary style decorations. Functionally honey blocks are used in redstone contraptions where the sticky property keeps some blocks attached during movement while allowing others to detach. The block also reduces fall damage which makes it useful for soft landings and for creating safe drop areas. Builders use honey blocks in moving platforms for their special interactions and as decorative elements near beehives to highlight bee farms.

What is Honey Block?

A honey block is a sticky utility block used in mechanics and in decoration. It slows movement and can stick to adjacent movable blocks which changes the behaviour of piston based machines.

Where to find Honey Block

Honey blocks do not generate naturally and are crafted by players from bee products. You will primarily find them in player bases and bee farm areas as a result of crafting and storage.

How to get Honey Block

Craft honey blocks by combining honey bottles on a crafting table or collect them from the creative inventory. To produce honey bottles you will need to harvest honey from beehives and convert it into bottles before crafting.
