Netherrack is a rather unique block that can only be found in the Nether. Netherrack is very easy to mine. Players can destroy it fairly easily with their hand, but it will not yield anything. It can also be destroyed by a Ghast's fireballs.

UsesEdit

When a fire is set using Flint and Steel on Netherrack, it will stay on fire until the player puts it out, unlike other blocks. This makes it a useful block to build traps or to make fireplaces with. Fire on a Netherrack block will spread to all flammable blocks except other Netherrack blocks. Fire on a Netherrack block can only be put out with water or the player's hands. Netherrack can also be smelted in to Nether Bricks, which can be used to make Nether Brick.

TriviaEdit

• Netherrack can be destroyed by hand in seconds, making it the first stone of its kind in Minecraft.
• Burning Netherrack can be used to keep an area clear of snow and ice more efficiently than torches due to it having a greater brightness, But don't do this around wood.
• Whenever Netherrack is lit beside lava, it will create more lava.
• It is the nether equivalent of grass/sand.
