Solid block



Solid Block is the term for a block which the player cannot walk through. Most block types are solid, while most plant types are not. Cacti, wood, pumpkins, grass, and leaves are all examples of solid plant blocks. Ladders may not seem solid, but it is possible to stand atop them without descending. Both water and lava are not solid, and can be passed through (although passing through lava will deal damage to the player). Every type of solid block, with the exceptions of bedrock, leaves, grass, bookshelves, and ice can be destroyed and collected. Solid blocks are found both in the overworld and in The Nether. Most miniature items are also able to stop a Minecart from moving ahead.
