List of minerals

The entries on this alphabetized list of minerals all are blocks and items in the game that share a name with real-world minerals. Minerals are inorganic, naturally occurring crystalline materials.

Ore minerals
  • Copper – electrically conductive metal that readily oxidizes
  • Diamond – very hard crystal of pure carbon
  • Emerald – precious gemstone found in mountains
  • Gold – soft, precious metal
  • Iron – hard, durable metal
  • Lapis Lazuli – used for enchanting

Fictitious minerals

While the materials that make up this list are unique to Minecraft, either their names directly imply they're minerals or they may be commonly perceived as such. Their actual nature is up to one's own imagination.

Rocks (non-minerals)

Minerals are not rocks. Minerals are crystals, and rocks are collections of minerals.

For a list of rocks in Minecraft, see rocks.
