User:Kpreid/Non-movable blocks


 * I'm not sure whether this is worthwhile for the wiki in general, so I've created it as a user page for now. If you think this content is useful, feel free to turn it into a main namespace page. Thanks to User:YaYaBinksMinecraft for inspiring me to write this.

The following objects, once placed, cannot be recovered and placed elsewhere because they drop nothing or less than required to recreate them. They are listed roughly in decreasing order of severity of loss of resources.


 * Wood, Cobblestone, and Reeds are Renewable Resources, so bookshelves, steps, stairs, and boats are renewable craftable objects; however, sand and lightstone are only produced by world generation, so glass and lightstone cannot be produced and care should be taken when placing them.
 * While boats can be pushed around in the world, they cannot be removed and carried in inventory once placed and so do not count as movable in this sense.
 * The text on a Sign is lost when the sign is removed, and so it could be considered non-movable.
 * Bedrock can neither be removed at all, nor obtained as a resource.

These objects occur naturally in the world and cannot be removed intact from their locations:


 * Unlike the ores listed here, iron and gold ore, drop iron and gold ore blocks and therefore are movable.
