About
Chain is a decorative block that appears as a hanging chain link. It is stackable up to 64 items per stack and can be broken by hand or any tool, making it easy to place and remove during building.
Admins use chain blocks primarily for aesthetic builds, dungeons, prisons, ships, and medieval structures. It can be obtained via crafting or spawned directly into a player's inventory with the /give command. The block is diggable, so it will not persist as a permanent world fixture if you need temporary decoration.
