Vanta Black Block

Quickstart

1. Collect Coal Blocks — you need 9 of them.
2. Open a Crafting Table and fill all 9 slots with Coal Blocks to craft one Vanta Black Block.
3. Place the block anywhere in your world to enjoy its ultra-dark, near-black appearance.
4. Break it to recover the block as a drop.

Overview

Vanta Black Block adds a single decorative full-cube block to Minecraft Bedrock. Its texture mimics Vantablack — an extremely dark, low-reflection surface that appears as an almost pure void of color. It fits perfectly in dark builds, void-themed rooms, space interiors, and high-contrast accent work.

What It Adds

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Vanta Black Block at a Crafting Table using 9 Coal Blocks:

When you break a placed Vanta Black Block it always drops itself, so you never lose it to loot-table chance.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Appearance — The block uses an ultra-dark texture and fully dampens light, making it appear as a near-perfect black void in-game.
• Map color — Shows as near-black (#050505) on a Cartography Table map.
• Hardness — Takes about 1.5 seconds to mine by hand or with a tool.
• Blast resistance — Moderate explosion resistance (6.0), comparable to wood or sandstone.
• Drops itself — Breaking the block always returns one Vanta Black Block, regardless of tool or enchantments.
• Friction — Standard friction, identical to most vanilla blocks; no slipping.

Progression And Strategy

• Use Vanta Black Blocks as a void or space aesthetic material — they absorb surrounding light visually and create striking contrast against bright or neon blocks.
• Because 9 Coal Blocks craft only 1 Vanta Black Block, plan your builds ahead and stockpile Coal Blocks before large projects.
• Pair with glowstone, sea lanterns, or neon-colored concrete for high-contrast lighting builds.
• The block is fully survival-obtainable, making it a viable late-game decorative material once coal is in good supply.
