FAQ

Can I mine a Command Block in Survival?

No. It has a hardness of -1, making it unbreakable without creative mode or the pick block feature.

What tool do I need to obtain one?

None. Command Blocks can only be obtained via the creative inventory or the `/give` command by an operator.

What's the difference between Impulse, Chain, and Repeat?

Impulse fires once per activation, Chain fires when the preceding command block in a chain succeeds, and Repeat re-fires continuously every tick while powered.

How tough is a Command Block against explosions?

Extremely. Its blast resistance of 3,600,000 matches bedrock, so it survives any in-game explosion.
