User:Blobs2/Technical blocks

Technical blocks are features that are internally their own blocks, but are not colloquially described this way. These blocks cannot be obtained (even in Creative) without add-ons, inventory editing, or bug exploitation. If they are obtained, however, their tooltips may be labeled as tile..name; e.g., tile.end_gateway.name.

Block forms of items
Many blocks have the same numerical IDs as their corresponding items. In other words, the block form and item form are the same. Other items are placeable as blocks, but have separate block forms. Some blocks have multiple block forms, which may or may not include a block identical to the item form.

Other technical blocks
Some technical blocks do not have item forms, though many are related to blocks that are obtainable.

Legacy Technical Blocks
These were technical blocks only in old versions.
