Minecraft Honey Block Guide: Here's how Minecraft's Sweet new Offering Works

Minecraft just got a more delicious with the addition of Minecraft honey blocks to Java. The blocky addition is in the most recent Java 1.15 update. It already has plenty of useful applications, such as fall damage reduction as well as creating a huge conveyor belt of golden sticky.

You can now make an attractive honeycomb-block by using the most recent version. This is not meant to be confused with the honey block itself. The sweet treat is stylish and can be made by combining four honeycombs in the crafting menu. If you don't have the money for a gingerbread house, you can create one from honeycomb blocks. Our Minecraft bees guide will explain everything you must know about honey production so you can use it to your advantage or for evil.

Other Minecraft mobs don't like walking on honey blocks so they will avoid them if they can. This includes monster mobs as well as Minecraft village dwellers. Here's our guide to how to craft honey blocks in Minecraft and the many uses you can get from the latest building block.

How to craft Minecraft honey blocks

Honey blocks can be made in Minecraft by using four honey bottles. A bottle that is empty can be used to make honey bottles.

How do I use the Minecraft honey block

Honey blocks in Minecraft are a variety of applications. Here's a list of everything we know about honey blocks in Minecraft:

Reduces fall damage: Honey blocks reduce fall damage significantly (80 80 percent) Reduces speed: Running across honey blocks will significantly reduce speed, not only for you, but also other objects skimming the side of a honey block wall stick to other blocks as well. Honey blocks stick to any other block, even Minecraft slime blocks Reduces jump height: You'll still be able to jump into the air, but not quite as high - you will not be able to leap up a standard block Transportation: Yes, that's right honey blocks can be used as blocks to make a functional conveyor belt. If the honey block is pulled by a piston, you'll stick to the block. This is also the case for mobs.

If you place a honey block in a 1x1 hole, any unsuspecting mob that gets inside will not be able to escape because of the gooey substance on their feet - even if the honey block is hidden by carpet or an entrance door. This kind of trap can be used to trick your friends, but it also serves to stop animals and villagers from wandering off when they have to remain in one spot.
