Conductivity is a property of blocks that determines whether redstone signals can be conducted through them (power things from the other side of the block), though it also has a wide range of other effects on the game world.

Properties
A lot of the effects of conductivity are non-obvious. Minecraft does not have a "solid" property for blocks, so conductivity is tested when a test for "solidity" would normally occur.


 * Redstone behavior (see also: Redstone circuit and its subpages):
 * Only conductive blocks can be powered by power components or transmission components (see list of redstone components).
 * Conductive blocks overhead can prevent redstone wires from connecting to other redstone wire diagonally upwards (and vice-versa for the wire connecting downwards).
 * If a non-conductive block can support redstone wire, it acts as a diode, carrying power upward but not downward.
 * Mobs cannot spawn inside conductive blocks. Conductive blocks also play a part in the pack spawning algorithm.
 * Chests cannot be opened if there is an conductive block on top of them. They are not affected by non-conductive blocks.
 * Ghast fireball explosions start fires only on conductive blocks.
 * Bats cannot hang on non-conductive blocks.
