This article documents an April Fools' Day joke.

This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.

The cursor is a joke block exclusive to Java Edition 20w14∞ with an animated texture that changes its color every second, toggling between lime and black concrete.

Obtaining

Cursors are available in the Creative inventory, and naturally generate in the "terminal" dimension.

Breaking

Cursor can be mined using a pickaxe, in which case it drops itself. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Mining efficiency.

Natural generation

The block naturally generates in the "terminal" dimension as the blinking "_" next to a "C:\" made of lime concrete. It appears to be cycling between black and lime concrete in appearance, which is what the rest of the "terminal" dimension is made of.

Sounds

This section uses a sound table which may not accurately represent the sounds associated with this feature.

Because of MC-177082, subtitles for falling on blocks may not have existed at this point in development, so a dedicated sound table accounting for this may be required.
