Minecraft Natural Block IDs

Natural blocks are found through exploration, mining, farming, and terrain generation. This category is useful when you need the correct ID for terrain materials, ores, plants, and common world blocks.

About Minecraft Natural Block IDs

223catalog entries
Javamodern namespaced IDs
1.13+current ID format

Use this page to search the 223 entries currently reviewed in the natural blocks catalog. Each result opens a dedicated page with the copyable item ID and a ready-to-use /give command.

Common reasons to use these IDs

  • finding mining and terrain materials
  • creating natural-looking builds
  • copying ore, dirt, stone, sand, and vegetation IDs into commands
Do ores and their dropped items have different IDs?

Yes. The ore block itself, like minecraft:diamond_ore, is different from the item it drops, minecraft:diamond. Commands that place blocks need the ore ID, while /give commands for the resource need the drop ID.

What is the ID for ancient debris?

minecraft:ancient_debris. It generates rarely in the Nether, requires a diamond or netherite pickaxe to mine, and smelts into netherite scrap for netherite upgrades.

Are plants and leaves natural blocks?

Yes, this category includes vegetation such as leaves, saplings, flowers, and crops alongside stone, dirt, and ores. Each plant has its own namespaced ID, and leaves variants exist for every tree type.

How many natural blocks are in this catalog?

This catalog currently lists 223 reviewed natural blocks entries. It is an expanded core catalog of the most-searched entries, not a complete list of every one in the game.

What ID format do these entries use?

Every entry uses the modern Java Edition namespaced ID format, such as minecraft:stone, which has been the current ID format since version 1.13.

How to Use Minecraft Natural Block IDs

Start with the modern item ID shown on an entry. Historical numerical IDs are only useful when you are specifically playing an old Java Edition release.

  1. Search the category by name or the modern minecraft:... ID.
  2. Open the matching item page to check its current ID and any reviewed historical-ID note.
  3. Copy the item ID or customize its /give command for your player and quantity.

Notable Natural Blocks in This Category

This category holds the blocks you find rather than craft: dirt, sand, gravel, stone and deepslate, every ore from coal to ancient debris, plus logs, leaves, and plants. Ore pages pair well with the Fortune and Silk Touch enchantment pages, since those enchantments change what the block actually drops.
