Hey! I'm coming back to Minecraft after a break and am looking for new friends! I'm an adult now, so that's crazy to think about... I love making art, building, and playing on servers! Singleplayer creeps me out sometimes with how lonely it is...

As a conversation starter... what is your favorite block in the game?

I relate to your entire introduction xD I've played MC since a child and i'm an adult now. I am totally not ashamed to be back playing this game, building is so much fun! I recently made a little town above the ocean :D My favorite block to use is glowstone.

Oh yeah! Minecraft will always be timeless. It's crazy now though, since as soon as the music kicks in I get a huge wave of nostalgia. I love glowstone too! Sea lantern is also a neat new block :D

Sea lantern is neat! I never got around to actually using it though. I use glowstone religiously, however.

Yeah, it has a pleasant golden glow. It's also one of the older blocks so it has a lot of cool building tricks around it.

Welcome to the Planet Minecraft community! I suppose my favorite block for building might be spruce wood, but there are a lot of blocks I like. By the way, what's your favorite block?

Thank you!! Spruce wood is so pretty!! For wood, I love birch and birch forests, but my favorite block is either the enchanting table or diamond ore. I'm a big fan of the shade of blue they made diamonds lol.

I think my favorite block might be... idk why but i think it might be barrels. i made this survival world around a month ago, it was in version like... 1.13 i think? okay, but when i updated it to 1.14, right around my base there were barrels. EVERYWHERE. there were even some in the nearby ocean. if you go far enough away, the barrel infection just... stops. somehow i learned to love barrels. anyways, welcome to the Planet Minecraft Community!

Woah! I haven't seen a barrel yet, at least not one placed in the world. Do they hold anything like a chest or are they purely aesthetic? :o
Thank you for the welcome, too! :)

Barrels are basically chest, but you can open them without needing to remove a block above them.

Welcome back to Minecraft! So much has changed, but it's still a really great game.

I think some of my favorite blocks are the different prismarine blocks and quartz as well, though I really like the concrete for building colorful stuff! :)

Prismarine and quartz is a beautiful combination! I was so surprised at how vibrant the concrete is, and can't wait to build with it! Any tips for how to use such colorful blocks?

I like to use concrete for building interior walls! It's great for making a "painted wall" which I've found can be more easily done if you build with the concrete first, then go around the outside of it with wood/stone/other exterior building blocks. Or you can simply only use it within interior rooms. The first method is a little tricky and takes some planning to get windows to look good and to get a good overall layout on the home, but the end result can look pretty awesome! Concrete's also very useful for floors.

I've seen some people use them for sculptures, pairing it with stained terracotta for some cool effects.

The white concrete is a great exterior wall block for medieval/Tudor style homes to get a seamless white wall.

Oooh, Could be the item. That works too, it gives 4 hunger points per pie! It would be cool if there was a block for it but I thought there was since they added so much since I left. My mistake lol!
