Blocks the basic units in
Minecraft, and essential to the gameplay create the in-game environment, and
can be mined and utilized in various fashions.
With a standard face the block features
16×16 pixels; each is proportionately one cubic meter and static, though Lava,
Fire blocks, Water and Portal do have a pattern that shifts for every face.
Those entries marked with a ‘D’
require additional data values, whilst those marked with an ‘I’ have a
different ID as an inventory item. To fully define the inventory item, those
marked with a B require additional inventory data. The T marked entries have
tile entities associated with them to store additional data whereas items with red
IDs cannot be legitimately obtained by the player as they are only accessible
through "hacking" (Such as using an inventory editor) or, in multiplayer
servers, using the give command. In the Creative mode only items in blue are obtainable,
while in survival mode the Silk Touch enchantment are green.

In Secret Friday Update you will

though chests and cobblestone are generally made by the player. You may
randomly meet Wooden Planks, Cobblestone, Pressure Plates, Fences, Crafting Tables,
Bookshelves, Torches, Stairs, Iron Bars, Black Wool, Chests, Lava and Furnaces
in the generated NPC villages that were included in 1.8, while Mossy Stone

strongholds and abandoned mines.
Although obsidian is sourced naturally, it is separate from the arbitrary
generation; but is made when water and naturally happening lava source blocks make
contact. Cobblestone is sourced naturally and made in the same circumstances as
obsidian, with the exception being that it is formed when moving lava and water
make contact. The dungeons are part cobblestone.
