Block of Netherite

A block of netherite is a precious metal block made from netherite ingots. Unlike most items it is resistant to fire and lava.

Obtaining
Blocks of netherite can be mined only with a diamond or netherite pickaxe. If a netherite block is mined with anything else, it drops nothing.

Usage
Blocks of netherite can be used to store netherite ingots in a compact fashion.

Blocks of netherite have a blast resistance of 1,200, the same as obsidian, crying obsidian, ancient debris, and enchanting tables. This makes it very good for making blast-proof builds, just like obsidian. Unlike obsidian, block of netherite (and ancient debris) can be moved with pistons which makes it very useful in redstone builds. Netherite can be destroyed with TNT when it is moving (by pistons). This is probably a bug and will presumably be fixed in the future.

It is destroyed by a wither's blue skulls and on contact with a wither.

Beacons
Blocks of netherite can be used to "power" a beacon. The beacon can be powered by a 3×3 square of netherite blocks underneath it, and can optionally also include a 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layer in the shape of a pyramid under the original layer to increase the effects from the beacon. The layers do not have to be entirely netherite blocks, as they may also contain iron blocks, gold blocks, diamond blocks, or emerald blocks.
