Decoy Block
The ghost wall you can walk through — the gateway item every other craft starts from.
gg:super_block⧉
Tap any face of any block to place it. The new block takes the neighbour’s appearance and becomes a ghost: no collision box and light dampening 0, so nothing shows from outside and nothing blocks your movement.
Placement
- Click any face — corners, ceilings and floors all work.
- The decoy copies the block you tapped, not the space it occupies.
- Placing a decoy onto another decoy inherits its resolved camouflage (the chain trick).
Mining
| Tool | Time | Note |
|---|---|---|
| By hand or pickaxe | ~15 s | Deliberately slow — no punching a hole by accident |
| Any axe | 0.15–0.90 s | Fast, clean removal |
Protection
Explosion resistance
3 — vanilla-like
Pistons
Immovable by design
Creative
No loot dropped
Collision
None — players and mobs walk through
Light dampening
0 — no light leaks through a fake wall
Ghost blocks are not solid
Mobs and players walk through them. Use a decoy door for anything that must stop a zombie.

Copy happens immediately
