When playing Minecraft, you will come across all sorts of materials. Whether you use them for building structures or creating new items, you want the best. Of course, acquiring the very best will take some time, but you should have a good understanding of the hierarchy of materials. Here are the strongest materials you can get in Minecraft.

What is the strongest block in Minecraft?
From a destructible standpoint, Bedrock is the strongest block in Minecraft because it can not be broken down without mods or while in Creative Mode. This is the barrier block in the game, so it keeps you within the confines of the world. In Creative, you can set up a building with these to make sure it is never destroyed.
As for blocks that you can actively gather, the strongest building block is Obsidian or its variant, Crying Obsidian. Even with a Diamond Pickaxe, it takes a long time for these blocks to break down, and explosions have no effect on them. Ancient Debris and Block of Netherite are also very strong building blocks that can be found and created with resources from The Nether.
What is the strongest ore in Minecraft?
While not necessarily an ore on its own, the strongest material to make items within Minecraft is Netherite. This is created from four Gold Ingots and four Netherite Scraps. This material can be used to make tools and armor that are stronger and more resistant than Diamond, but obviously will take a long time to create. They also do not burn away in lava.
Of course, Diamond is the next best option and is an actual ore you can mine. It is just a step below Netherite on durability and does burn in lava, but Diamond is easily the most iconic and useful material you will find in the game. It is not the rarest, Emerald is, but you will want to celebrate every time you find it.
