- Unbreakable blocks use a hardness of -1.
- This block would take 38 minutes and 48 seconds to mine by hand, or 37 seconds with the most efficient tool possible (Efficiency V Golden Pickaxe with Haste II). With Mining Fatigue III, it would take 20 hours and 15 minutes to mine. If the player is also underwater and floating, this extends to 21 days, 2 hours and 15 minutes.
