About This Quiz

Minecraft is a world filled with blocks. Some that you can mine, others you can craft and others that will attack you. On that first night in your survival world, you're faced with some of the most basic of blocks that can help you survive the night. You learn the dirt, cobblestone and water. You might even craft yourself a tool or two. But what blocks come next?

Moving on up throughout the world, you find that you're faced with many new blocks. Venturing into the mine, you'll discover flint, coal and ore. If you dig deep enough, you'll even encounter the elusive diamond ore that is so sought after! But another essential part of mining is knowing what the proper tools to use are on each block. That's another key to success in the Minecraft world. Eventually, you'll venture to the nether, where you'll encounter new blocks and mobs. There are some useful blocks in this realm to take advantage of. And don't forget your precious emeralds for trading!

So, do you consider yourself to be the most skilled of the Minecraft players? Now is your chance to show that you've got the mental handbook to all of the blocks. See if you could bust through the diamonds on this quiz!
