Bulk blocks are packed stacks of building blocks sold by the Mason. Each one unpacks into 64 of its block when used. One Obol buys between 64 and 384 blocks this way.

Obtaining

Bulk blocks are only sold by the Mason, which has no other trades. All trades cost 1 obol:

Usage

Using a bulk block (pressing use while holding it) unpacks it instantly: one bulk block is used up and replaced by 64 of its block, which go straight into the inventory. Unpacking takes no time and plays the sound of a stone block falling. The tooltip shows what the bulk block holds (for example "x64 Andesite") and "Use to unpack".

Behavior

A bulk block is a poisonous potato with its food properties removed. It is made "consumable" with a use time of 0 seconds and no effects, and the unpacked blocks are its use remainder, the item left behind after it is consumed. As with any use remainder, if the inventory is full the blocks are dropped instead.

Loot tables

The data pack also has a loot table for each bulk block except dirt, under matcha:materials/bulk/ (for example /loot give @s loot matcha:materials/bulk/andesite). No chest, mob or trade uses them. The items they give unpack the same way, but use the vanilla block's model as their icon instead of the bulk block model.

History

1.12.1-alpha	Cinnabar added to the Mason's trades.
1.12.2	Bulk blocks unpack directly into the inventory (contributed by Linkershim). All Mason trades are bulk blocks. Added Bulk Dirt. Bulk blocks have their own models.
1.12.3	Bulk terracotta, bulk malachite, bulk cinnabar, bulk blackstone, bulk smooth basalt and bulk smooth quartz now have English names and tooltips; before, the game showed their raw translation keys.
1.12.4	The bulk block loot tables moved from matcha:bulk_block/ to matcha:materials/bulk/.

Trivia

• Bulk limestone is internally bulk_stone, bulk flowstone is bulk_dripstone, and bulk malachite is bulk_prismarine, after the vanilla blocks the pack renames.
