The cursor is a joke block introduced in Java Edition 20w14∞ with an animated texture that changes its color every second, toggling between lime and black concrete.
Obtaining
Cursors are available in the creative inventory, and naturally generate in the "terminal" dimension.
Breaking
Cursor requires a pickaxe to be mined. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Legend
- incorrect tool, drops nothing
- correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
- correct tool, drops the block itself
- italicized can be instant mined
- ↑ These durations ignore other influential factors (e.g. Mining Fatigue), and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
Note: No version exists with both copper tools and this block, but the breaking time can be calculated from the block's hardness.
Natural generation
The block naturally generates in "terminal" dimension as the blinking "_" next to a "C:\" made of lime concrete. It appears to be cycling between black and lime concrete in appearance, which is what the rest of the "terminal" dimension is made of.
