FAQ

What tool do I need to mine it?

At least an iron pickaxe. Anything weaker drops nothing.

What is it used for besides storage?

It is one of the four accepted base materials for building a beacon pyramid.

Yes, since Emeralds are renewable through villager trading and trial chamber loot, blocks crafted from them are too.

Is it affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?

No. It always drops exactly one Block of Emerald regardless of enchantments.
