Nether Star Block
by DeadlyArtist
Nether Star Block adds a single placeable block made from nether stars, with crafting, drop and protection rules that follow the item.
What it does
The mod adds one decorative block crafted from nine nether stars. Like the item, the block cannot be destroyed by explosions, and it is immune to damage from the Ender Dragon and the Wither. Players are meant to use it in other mods and modpacks as a challenging crafting ingredient, or as a shiny trophy in a build. It is client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Builds cover 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge.
