Description
Build ExtraBlocks – 300+ Advanced Minecraft Bedrock Building Blocks Create ExtraBlocks, a massive Minecraft Bedrock Edition add-on that introduces at least 300 brand-new craftable and placeable blocks. The goal is to dramatically expand Minecraft's building possibilities with new materials, colors, patterns, architectural styles, and realistic PBR textures. 1. Block Collection (300+ Blocks) Create a minimum of 300 genuinely distinct blocks distributed across these categories: - Concrete: 32+ colors and variations, polished concrete, rough concrete, reinforced concrete, cracked concrete, concrete tiles, industrial concrete, and decorative concrete. - Wood: 50+ blocks featuring new fictional and natural wood species, including unique planks, logs, stripped logs, beams, wooden panels, carved wood, and decorative variants. - Stone: 40+ blocks including marble, limestone, granite variants, slate, basalt variants, polished stone, carved stone, and decorative masonry. - Bricks: 35+ variations including colored bricks, glazed bricks, industrial bricks, weathered bricks, and patterned brickwork. - Glass: 25+ blocks including tinted glass, frosted glass, reinforced glass, decorative glass, colored glass, and textured glass. - Metal: 30+ blocks including copper alloys, steel, aluminum, titanium, iron variants, metal panels, grates, and industrial plating. - Tiles and Flooring: 30+ blocks including ceramic tiles, marble flooring, geometric patterns, mosaics, and modern flooring. - Decorative Blocks: 40+ blocks including pillars, columns, panels, trims, architectural details, carved surfaces, and ornamental blocks. - Miscellaneous: Additional unique materials such as rubber, plastics, composite panels, insulation, and futuristic construction materials. Ensure the total exceeds 300 unique block identifiers. Do not count recolored textures alone as separate meaningful additions without providing actual usable block variants. 2. True PBR Textures Every suitable block must have properly designed PBR textures compatible with Minecraft Bedrock's supported Vibrant Visuals rendering pipeline. Include: - High-quality base color/albedo textures. - Normal maps for realistic surface depth. - Metallic maps for metallic materials. - Roughness maps for material-specific reflection behavior. - Appropriate emissive textures for special blocks. Concrete should look slightly rough, polished marble should have subtle reflections, steel should look metallic, and wood should show detailed natural grain. Avoid making every material equally shiny. 3. Crafting and Survival Integration Make the blocks obtainable in survival mode. - Add sensible crafting recipes. - Include stonecutter-compatible recipes where appropriate. - Use logical ingredients and balanced quantities. - Organize blocks into intuitive families. - Ensure every block is obtainable without creative mode. 4. Creative Inventory Organize blocks into recognizable categories with consistent naming conventions and intuitive inventory presentation. Every block must have a unique identifier and appropriate icon. 5. VibrantVisuals Compatibility Make ExtraBlocks compatible with the VibrantVisuals graphics framework. Use shared PBR conventions, consistent material definitions, and documented integration. Declare VibrantVisuals as a resource-pack dependency using its actual UUID and compatible version once available. Do not invent dependency identifiers. ExtraBlocks should remain functional as a building add-on and should not unnecessarily override vanilla textures or other add-ons. 6. Technical Quality - Target Minecraft Bedrock Edition. - Use valid manifests and unique identifiers. - Use proper block geometry and material definitions. - Avoid duplicate identifiers and broken textures. - Ensure correct block placement, mining, sounds, and hardness. - Optimize textures and assets for mobile hardware. - Test recipes, inventory organization, and block rendering. 7. Final Deliverable Deliver a complete, installable ".mcaddon" containing 300+ functional blocks, PBR assets, recipes, manifests, and documentation. The final result should feel like a professional Minecraft construction expansion, giving builders hundreds of new ways to create modern houses, cities, industrial facilities, futuristic structures, and detailed environments.

Extra Blocks
Quickstart
- In survival: Use a crafting table to make Rough Concrete from sand and gravel, then place it like a normal block.
- In Creative: Search the Construction inventory for blocks such as Marble Block, Cedar Planks, Blue Glazed Brick, or Steel Plate Block.
- For more shapes and finishes: Check the stonecutter recipes for stone, brick, concrete, and other materials.
- Place and break these blocks using the usual Minecraft controls. Most are full-block building pieces.
Overview
Extra Blocks is a building-focused add-on with decorative alternatives to familiar construction materials. Its blocks cover concrete, wood, stone, brick, glass, metal, tile, and composite materials. They are intended for ordinary building: craft or select a block, place it, and combine its colors and textures to create walls, floors, trim, and façades.
What It Adds
Examples of the available blocks include:
| Material | Blocks |
|---|---|
| Concrete | Rough Concrete, Polished Concrete, Reinforced Red Concrete, Desert Sand Concrete, Olive Industrial Concrete |
| Wood | Grained Timber Block, Dark Timber Block, Cedar Log, Cedar Planks, Walnut Wood Panel, Ebony Beam |
| Stone | Marble Block, Slate Block, Pale Limestone, Rose Granite, Basalt Pillar Stone, Chiseled Masonry, Carved Limestone |
| Brick | Construction Brick, Glazed Brick, Blue Glazed Brick, Weathered Brick |
| Glass | Frosted Glass Block, Tinted Glass Block, Blue Tinted Glass, Reeded Glass |
| Metal and other materials | Steel Plate Block, Brushed Steel Plate, Bronze Plate Block, Composite Panel, Rubber Tread Block |
| Tile | Mosaic Tile |
How To Use
These are placeable building blocks, not equipment or abilities. Select one in your hotbar and place it as you would a vanilla block. Use them to mix surface styles—for example, pair rough and polished concrete, use patterned brick as an accent, or contrast wood panels with metal plates.
Many of the blocks appear in the Creative Construction inventory, with some grouped alongside wood, stone, concrete, or glass. In survival, craft them at a crafting table or use the stonecutter where a recipe is available. Recipe previews below can be hovered over or tapped to inspect their ingredients and layout.

Abilities And Mechanics
Extra Blocks focuses on building materials. The documented blocks are placeable construction pieces; no special abilities or activation steps are required. Choose a finish for its appearance and use it alongside ordinary Minecraft blocks.
Progression And Strategy
There is no separate progression system. Start with accessible materials such as concrete, brick, and wood, then use stonecutter recipes and more resource-intensive metal or composite recipes as you gather ingredients. For large builds, preview recipes before crafting so you can plan material quantities and keep related finishes consistent.
