Purpur Block

"Purpur is one of the strangest and most otherworldly materials in Minecraft, found in a fittingly strange and otherworldy dimension: the End. The blocks themselves can be crafted from popped chorus fruits, which have been harvested from the angular cacti-like chorus trees, and then gently smelted. But these are no ordinary fruits - when eaten they can teleport the player a short distance. Even weirder, purpur blocks make the perfect camouflage for the mollusc-like shulkers, emerging from their purpurish shells to launch homing missiles at the player."

Purpur blocks and purpur pillars are decorative blocks that are naturally generated in end cities and end ships.

Chiseled purpur and smooth purpur are two further variants of purpur blocks exclusive to Bedrock Edition that can be accessed only by commands, and appear identical to regular purpur blocks.

Breaking
Purpur blocks and pillars can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation
Purpur blocks and pillars can be found naturally as part of the structure of end cities and end ships.

Usage
Purpur blocks and pillars are primarily decorative blocks, similar to other brick-type blocks. They can also be used to craft different variants of the block. Purpur pillar blocks can be placed sideways, similar to logs or quartz pillar blocks.

Crafting ingredient
Purpur pillars cannot be used to craft slabs $$.

Note Blocks
Purpur block and purpur pillar can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.
