If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Nether Bricks|link=none|Pickaxe|Wood}} === Natural generation === Nether bricks form the walls and supporting pillars of all [[nether fortress]]es. === Crafting === {{Crafting |head=1 |A2= Nether Brick |A3= Nether Brick |B2= Nether Brick |B3= Nether Brick |Output= Nether Bricks |type= Building block |foot=1 }} == Usage == Nether bricks are non-flammable and immune to [[ghast fireball]]s, making them a suitable shelter material for the Nether. If a nether bricks block is inside the whole bounding box of a [[nether fortress]] (not just inside the individual parts), nether fortress mobs (such as [[blaze]]s and [[wither skeleton]]s) can spawn on it if other normal conditions are met. It is not known if this is an exclusive property of the block. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage|Nether Bricks}} === Stonecutting ingredient === {{Stonecutting |head=1 |Nether Bricks |Nether Brick Slab, 2; Nether Brick Stairs; Nether Brick Wall }} {{Stonecutting |foot=1 |Nether Bricks |Chiseled Nether Bricks }} === Smelting ingredient === {{Smelting |showname=1 |Nether Bricks |Cracked Nether Bricks |0.1 }} === Note Blocks === Nether bricks can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds. == Sounds == {{Sound table/Block/Nether bricks|newsound=y}} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Nether Bricks |spritetype=block |nameid=nether_bricks |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Nether Bricks |spritetype=block |nameid=nether_brick |id=112 |foot=1}} == History == {{HistoryTable |{{HistoryLine|java}} |{{HistoryLine||1.0.0|dev=Beta 1.9 Prerelease|[[File:Nether Bricks JE1 BE1.png|30px]] Added nether brick, which can be crafted into [[nether brick stairs]] and [[Nether Brick Fence|fence]]s.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.4.6|dev=12w49a|Nether brick is now used to craft [[nether brick slab]]s.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.5|dev=13w01a|Added [[crafting]] recipe, using [[nether brick]] items.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.8|dev=14w11b|Nether bricks with [[Java Edition data values/Pre-flattening/Block IDs/Before 14w25a|numerical metadata variants]] 1 through 15, which are inaccessible through normal gameplay, now have [[Missing model|no model]] [[File:Missing Model JE2.png|32px]] rather than appearing identical to nether bricks.}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=14w26a|Block metadata has been completely removed from this snapshot onward with the introduction of [[block states]].
