Fictitious minerals[]

While the materials that make up this list are unique to Minecraft, either their names directly imply they're minerals or they may be commonly perceived as such. Their actual nature is up to one's own imagination.

• End Crystal – craftable dragon-healing crystal from the End
• Glowstone – brittle, glowing material from the Nether
• Netherite – ultrarare, super-hard material that can't be destroyed in lava; found only in the Nether
• Nether Star – material dropped by the Wither
• Nether Quartz – Nether variety of quartz used as an ornamental block or for special redstone components
• Prismarine Crystals – rare building material found in Monuments
• Redstone – material that can carry signals and activate moving parts
• Resin Clump – natural material that is obtained from breaking creaking hearts or punching creakings to generate clumps

Rocks (non-minerals)[]

Minerals are not rocks. Minerals are crystals, and rocks are collections of minerals.
