Structure Void
minecraft:structure_voidStructure Void is an invisible, intangible block used exclusively inside structure files to mark space that should be ignored when a structure is saved or placed. It has no hitbox in survival play and cannot be mined, only placed via commands.
Uses
- Structure Block Templates — Fills unused space in a structure block's save area so that existing terrain and blocks beneath a structure are preserved instead of being overwritten with air when the structure loads.
Found In
- Structure files and command output only — Not naturally generated; obtainable only via /setblock, /fill, or /give, or from the Operator Items tab in Creative mode.
FAQ
Can I mine or collect Structure Void in survival?
No. It cannot be broken or obtained as an item drop; it is only placeable using commands or the creative operator inventory.
What does Structure Void actually do?
It marks a position inside a structure file as "ignore" so that whatever block already exists there is left untouched when the structure is placed.
Is Structure Void the same as a Barrier block?
No. Barrier blocks are solid and block movement; Structure Void is fully intangible and only has meaning within structure data.
Does Structure Void have a hitbox or collision?
No, it has no collision or hitbox in normal gameplay, though Bedrock Edition allows it to support certain attachable blocks like signs and torches.
