Emerald Block

Emerald Blocks are decorative mineral blocks that do not appear in normally generated maps. They are obtained by crafting nine emeralds together in a 3x3 square in a crafting grid. They currently serve no crafting purpose, and function only as a decorative block and as a means of storing emeralds in a compact fashion. Diamond blocks can only be mined successfully with an Iron or Diamond Pickaxe. They use the same texture on all six sides.
