We get thousands of emails every day demanding we 'make Minecraft stickier!'. Usually we just ignore them (they're pretty weird), but that all changes this week, with the addition of the honey block. Enjoy!

Honey Block

Sticky. Very sticky!

Walking and jumping is limited

If you stand on a honey block that is pushed by a piston, you come along for the ride

Jump into a wall of honey blocks to slide down and slow your fall

Landing on a honey block cushions your fall somewhat

When a honey block is pushed or pulled by a piston, it attempts to move all adjacent blocks in the same direction (just like slime blocks)

Mobs and animals dislike walking on honey blocks. Too sticky for their comfort

Honeycomb Block

BYOH - Build Your Own Honeycomb

Craft 2x2 Honeycomb to get a Honeycomb Block

Purely decorative!

Accessibility

Sneak and Sprint inputs can now be switched between Hold and Toggle mode in the Accessibility Options.

Descriptions under buttons on the Create World screen are now narrated.
