About

Emerald Ore is a rock-type block found naturally only in Extreme Hills and Extreme Hills+ biomes. Break it with a pickaxe to collect emeralds, which you can then use for trading with villagers or crafting.

On a server, you can give players emerald ore directly using the give command, or place it in the world for mining practice or custom terrain. It stacks up to 64 and has a hardness of 3.0, making it moderately slow to break by hand but quick with the right tool.
