A '''steel block''' is a metal [[block]] that must be [[Crafting|crafted]].
 
==Appearance==
Steel blocks are silvery-white in color.
 
==Where Found==
Unlike most blocks, a steel block is not spawned in a new [[world]] and must be created at a [[Metalwork Bench|metalwork bench]] or [[Electric Metalwork Bench|electric metalwork bench]].
 
It takes five [[Steel Ingot|steel ingots]] to make a steel block.

"Stronger than iron."

A steel block is a metal block that must be crafted.

Appearance

Steel blocks are silvery-white in color.

Where Found

Unlike most blocks, a steel block is not spawned in a new world and must be created at a metalwork bench or electric metalwork bench.

It takes five steel ingots to make a steel block.

Prior to version 1.5.1, a non-electric metalwork bench could be used to make ten elevator shafts for one block of steel and ten copper wires, which was more steel-efficient than an electric metalwork bench.

Uses

Steel blocks are useful in construction, and placing one will produce an achievement. They are also conductive and can be used to transfer electricity through blocks. They are useful in the creation of barriers resistant to intrusion during multiplayer sessions, taking over one-and-a-half hours to break a steel block by hand. Only titanium and carbon fiber blocks are more durable.
