Overview

The Question Mark Block is a single-use mystery container. You choose what goes inside, seal it shut, and retrieve it later with a right-click. Each block stores exactly one item and can only be opened once, making it perfect for gifting, challenges, surprise drops, or just keeping something safe in style.

What It Adds

The block appears in the Redstone creative tab and can be stacked up to 64 in your inventory.

How To Use

Configuring the Block

Right-click an unconfigured Question Mark Block to open the configuration screen. The screen shows:

• A golden-bordered slot labelled "Place item to store" at the top center.
• Your full player inventory below.

Drag or shift-click exactly one item from your inventory into the golden slot. The item is immediately consumed from your inventory and saved inside the block — you cannot take it back through the UI. Once the item is in the slot, press Confirm Selection to lock it in and close the screen.

Note: The slot accepts only one item and will not accept a second if one is already stored. You cannot remove the stored item by clicking the slot.

Collecting the Stored Item

Right-click a configured block (one that already has an item stored) to instantly receive the stored item into your inventory. If your inventory is full, the item drops at your feet. A sound plays on collection.

After the item is dispensed, the block is permanently locked — right-clicking it again does nothing. It remains in the world as a spent block.

Breaking the Block

If you break a configured (but not yet used) Question Mark Block, the stored item drops on the ground. A pickaxe mines it most efficiently.

Abilities And Mechanics

• One item, one use — Each block holds a single item stack of count 1 and can only dispense it once.
• No take-backs — Once an item is placed in the configuration slot, it cannot be retrieved through the UI; you must right-click the placed block in the world to get it back.
• Permanent lock after use — After dispensing its item, the block remains in place but is permanently inert.
• Inventory safety — Breaking the block before using it drops the stored item, so nothing is lost.
• Light emission — Placed blocks glow faintly (light level 3).
• Metal sounds & durability — The block uses metal block sounds and has moderate hardness (1.5) with high blast resistance (6.0).

Progression And Strategy

• Gift boxes — Pre-load a Question Mark Block with a rare item and give the placed block to another player as a surprise.
• Loot challenges — Set up a room of Question Mark Blocks loaded with mixed rewards and penalties; players must pick one without knowing what's inside.
• Item safe — Store a valuable item in a block at your base as an emergency backup — it won't spill unless the block is broken.
• Choose wisely — Because configuration is permanent and the block is single-use, think carefully before pressing Confirm Selection. There is no way to swap the stored item afterward without breaking the block and losing control of where the item lands.
