FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Polished Blackstone Wall?
A wooden pickaxe or better. Mining without one destroys the block with no drop.
Do walls connect to fences and other blocks automatically?
Yes. Walls connect to adjacent walls, fence gates, and solid blocks, raising a center post when isolated or surrounded on multiple sides.
Can mobs walk through a wall gap?
No, walls are taller than fences and block most mob movement, though players can still be hit over them by ranged attacks depending on height.
Is the wall waterloggable?
Yes, it can hold a water source block while placed.
