Chain

Chains are metallic decoration blocks.

Natural generation
Chains will generate in bastion remnants and sometimes in ruined portals.

Placement
Chains do not require a supporting block to be placed wether it's on the top, next to it or in the bottom, it can exist completely free-standing in mid air and can't be rotated.

From block loot
Chains can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Usage
Chains can be used to suspend lanterns and their soul fire variant, and the chain texture connects to the chain of the lantern seamlessly. However, bells cannot be attached to chains, despite the fact that they fit otherwise via and other methods. Chains can be pushed by pistons without being broken.

Breaking
Chains require a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Unlike other metallic blocks, chains can be mined with any pickaxe instead of stone tier and higher.

Trivia

 * Chain is made out of two iron nuggets and one iron ingot, but its blast resistance is actually the same as block of iron (6).
