Description

Polished Blackstone Brick Wall is a decorative wall variant of polished blackstone bricks that ruined portals in the Nether generate naturally. Any pickaxe, including a wooden pickaxe, breaks Polished Blackstone Brick Wall. Minecraft Java Edition received Polished Blackstone Brick Wall in 1.16 (snapshot 20w15a), and Bedrock Edition followed in 1.16.0. Polished Blackstone Brick Wall is renewable (an endless resource), because bartering keeps blackstone available.

Six Polished Blackstone Bricks laid in two rows of three on the crafting grid produce six Polished Blackstone Brick Wall blocks, a 1:1 ingredient-to-output ratio. A stonecutter cuts blackstone, polished blackstone, and Polished Blackstone Bricks into Polished Blackstone Brick Wall one at a time. Builders choose Polished Blackstone Brick Wall for battlements, gate posts, and low borders around blackstone courtyards. Polished Blackstone Brick Wall does not burn, cannot catch fire from lava, and stacks to 64 per inventory slot.
