Air is the block present in otherwise empty space.
Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Air cannot be kept in the inventory and can only be destroyed or created by the placement or removal of other blocks respectively.
Natural generation[edit | edit source]
Most generated structures generate air. Air is also generated in any space not occupied by another block.
Usage[edit | edit source]
Air shares some properties with non-solid blocks, including allowing the player or mob to move within that space without suffocating, and also to catch their breath if they are drowning in water.
Air can be visualized with the use of structure blocks in save mode. With "Show invisible blocks" enabled, air is represented as small blue cubes.
