For items with only a wall form, see
walls.
Blocks are what make up most of a world in Core Keeper. Most of these blocks can be collected and placed elsewhere in the world. Some blocks can be crafted into other useful items.
Blocks have both a wall form and a ground form. Placing a block on a pit or liquid will result in a ground tile, and placing a block on top of a ground tile will result in a wall tile.
Each wall block has its own health and damage reduction values. The player can deal damage to wall blocks by swinging at them; effectiveness is based on the player's mining damage stat, which is heavily boosted by digging tools such as pickaxes. If the player's mining damage is equal to or less than the wall's damage reduction, they will deal no damage to it, instead stating "I need higher mining damage", or "My mining damage is too low".
Ground blocks only have a health value. They can be dug up using shovels; effectiveness is based on the player's digging damage stat.
One Mining experience point is granted every time the player hits a wall block and deals at least 12 damage to it.
