Daily Minecraft Block: Guess Today's Block

Rules & what counts

Daily Block: Rules, Hints & What Counts

Daily Block is a daily Minecraft puzzle. Every player gets the same secret block, and a new block starts every day.

You have 6 guesses. Each guess shows how your block compares with the secret block.

Use the hints to narrow the blocks down: the tool, the sound, the light, the hardness and the update that added the block.

Type the name of a block and pick it from the list. Press Enter or tap a name to lock in the guess. The game does not guess for you while you type.
You can guess any of the blocks of the Name Every Minecraft Block quiz. Old names and common spellings count too, such as Workbench for the crafting table.
A green tile matches the secret block. A yellow tile is close. A grey tile does not match.
An arrow points to the value of the secret block. An up arrow means that the secret block has more light, is harder, resists explosions better, or came in a newer update.
After 3 guesses, the game shows the colour of the secret block on an in-game map.
A new block starts every day at 17:00 CET (Europe/Oslo time). Find the block on consecutive days to grow your streak. The Share button copies your result with no spoilers.

You score 6 points when you find the block with your first guess, 5 points with your second guess, and so on. A missed day scores 0.
The leaderboard ranks signed-in players by their longest streak of solved days.

Section: building blocks, wood, colored blocks, nature, ores and minerals, functional blocks or redstone. The tile is green only for the same section.
Tool: the fastest tool to mine the block, and the lowest tool tier that drops it. The same tool with a different tier is yellow.
Sound: the sound that the block makes when you break it. A sound of the same kind (for example, two kinds of wood) is yellow.
Stack: the number of blocks in one inventory slot (64, 16 or 1).
Light: the light level that the block gives off, from 0 to 15.
Hardness: how long the block takes to mine. Bedrock and the end portal frame are unbreakable, so they are the hardest.
Blast: how well the block resists explosions.
Added: the update that added the block. All blocks that are older than update 1.13 share one group, Before 1.13.
Traits: whether the block falls, holds water, lets you see through it, and moves when a piston pushes it.
The data comes from Minecraft: Java Edition 26.1.

The secret block is one of 242 well-known blocks. You can guess every block of the game.
The secret is never a colour version of a block that the pool already has, a copper block that has turned green, or a stair or slab version of a stone.
A secret block does not come back for 120 days.
A first guess that splits the blocks well is a block with an unusual tool or sound, such as a torch or a block of glass.
