It's time to uncover The Best Most Ultimate Most Favouritest #1 Minecraft Block.

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.

How I choose which is better? (in not particular order)

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

What do you usually base your vote on?

How functional a block is

How memorable/iconic a block is

How pretty a block is

How much I personally use a block

[firebrandreblogs]

Unnecessary but genuine moss propaganda: good to replace grass if ypu dont want the brown edge of the grass blocks, also very good for farming bonemeal which can be turned into bone blocks, and those make a lovely noise when walked on or interacted with. Also can spawn azalea / flowering azalea which can both be grown with bonemeal into azalea trees, giving you the opportunity to shear the flowering azalea leaves for your pretty builds. And speeds the sniffer eggs up, and we love sniffers! Vote moss!

No disrespect to birch, it makes a very good accent color block for your dark builds if pale oak is too light/cool!
