EVERY. ITEM.

This will be a bracket tournament including every single block/item in Minecraft. Yes, every single one. If you can place it in the game, you can vote for it here.

I hear you ask:

Why? Why would you do this? - Fun! Whimsy! Minecraft!

What's the voting criteria? - That's a great question! Who knows? You could vote based on what you think looks best, what you prefer using in-game, or just which one you think is more neat. There are no particular rules!

When will the tournament start? - Whenever people have had a fair chance to discover the blog and join me in my Quest To Find The Best Most Ultimate Most Favouritest #1 Minecraft Block! Let's say a week before I start drafting match-ups?

Who are you? - Also a great question! You can call me Steve, a name I decided to go by approximately seven seconds ago in the spirit of the blog.

Hm, true

Okay, here you go:

Ironically I do actually have an exam coming up, but it is not of the French (or German, or Norwegian, or Swedish, to address some of my other anon asks) variety

What I am: Curious about what prompted this

ROUND 2 - Match 20 of 250 - Light Gray Candle vs. Diamond Ore

A candle is a dyeable block that emits light when lit with a flint and steel. Up to four of the same color of candle can be placed in one block space, which affects the amount of light produced.

Diamond ore is a rare ore that generates deep underground, and is the most abundant and reliable source of diamonds.

ROUND 2 - Match 19 of 250 - Burn Decorated Pot vs. Dirt

A decorated pot is an ornamental block crafted from pottery sherds or bricks.

Dirt is a block found abundantly in most biomes under a singular layer of grass blocks at the top of the Overworld.

ROUND 2 - Match 18 of 250 - Closed Eyeblossom vs. Pale Oak Log

An eyeblossom is a unique flower found in the pale garden biome. It changes state depending on the daylight cycle, closing during the day and opening at night. Its "eye", visible only when the flower is open, glows in the dark but does not emit light in its surroundings.

A log or stem is a naturally occurring block found in trees or huge fungi, primarily used as a building block, and to create planks, a versatile crafting ingredient. It comes in eleven types: oak, spruce, birch, jungle, acacia, dark oak, mangrove, cherry blossom, crimson, warped, and pale oak.

Intentionality and functionality: what is their general purpose in the game and how many secondary uses players give to them.

Are they key to the game or are they forgettable?

They pretty?

Are they in the main game or just in one version/mode?

Propaganda, nobody is inmune to propaganda.

idk man... today I woke up and chose violence

PS: congrats on completing round 1. You rock, Steve <3

I'm curious so I have turned this into a poll

ROUND 2 - Match 17 of 250 - Heartbreak Decorated Pot vs. Redstone Wire

A decorated pot is an ornamental block crafted from pottery sherds or bricks.

Redstone wire is a non-solid block that can transmit a redstone power signal up to 15 blocks in distance; signal strengths below 15 have reduced distance. Redstone wire can power blocks it is placed on or pointing at.

ROUND 2 - Match 16 of 250 - Spruce Door vs. Bookshelf

The wooden door is a variant of the door made of wood that can be opened and closed by the player without redstone.

Bookshelves are blocks that improve enchantments applied with an enchanting table when placed around one, up to a maximum of fifteen bookshelves, at the expense of level requirement.

ROUND 2 - Match 15 of 250 - Potted Warped Fungus vs. Azure Bluet

A warped fungus is a mushroom-like block that generates in the Nether.

An azure bluet is a flower that can be crafted into light gray dye and suspicious stew.

ROUND 2 - Match 14 of 250 - Jungle Sapling vs. Light Blue Bed

A sapling is a non-solid block that can be grown into a tree.

A bed is a dyeable block that allows a player to sleep and to reset their spawn point to within a few blocks of the bed in the Overworld. If the bed is obstructed or removed, the player spawns at the default world spawning location.

ROUND 2 - Match 13 of 250 - Copper Bulb vs. Oak Leaves

A copper bulb is a light-emitting block and a transparent block. It is made of copper and therefore oxidizes over time.

Leaves are natural blocks that generate as part of trees. Despite being a full block, they can be waterlogged.
