Cinnabar

Obtaining and breaking Cinnabar

• Pickaxe is the recorded preferred tool for Cinnabar, and the registry marks a suitable tool as required for the intended drop.
• Its recorded hardness is 1.5. Compare this with the blast resistance value when deciding whether the concern is mining time or explosion survival.

What to use Cinnabar for

Cinnabar has no current recipe relationship in the tracked registry. Collection, placement or world interaction is therefore more relevant than a crafting grid on this page.

• One full inventory stack holds 64 Cinnabar blocks; 27 full stacks fill a single chest or shulker-box-sized inventory with 1728 blocks.

Build and technical notes

• Cinnabar is a natural & decorative blocks block identified as minecraft:cinnabar. Its material, collision, light and recipe relationships below are the useful details for building, survival collection and commands.
• The recorded collision shape is “block”. Collision is a gameplay property, so do not infer it only from the block's visible model.
• Cinnabar has 1 recorded Java block-state combination, so its base state is comparatively simple.
• Its recorded blast resistance is 6; this is separate from hardness and should be used for explosion-risk comparisons.

Java and Bedrock differences

• Cinnabar exists in both tracked editions. Java uses minecraft:cinnabar; Bedrock uses minecraft:cinnabar.
• The available hardness, blast-resistance and preferred-tool records do not show a cross-edition conflict for this block.
