A structure void is an invisible block that allows existing blocks to remain unchanged rather than be overridden when using the structure block to load a structure.

A structure air is an unused variant of structure void in Bedrock Edition, which has the same behaviors with regular structure void.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Structure voids are available only using the /setblock, /fill, or /give commands.

In Java Edition, they are also available in the creative inventory if cheats and the operator items tab option in controls are enabled.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The difference between air (top left) and structure void (top right) when "show invisible blocks" is enabled.

Structure voids can be placed as part of a structure and are ignored when the structure file is saved and loaded. This results in the blocks at the location where the structure is placed being maintained and not being overridden. For example, if a player saves a 2 block high structure with air at the top and a structure void at the bottom, and loads it into a 2 block high area of stone, the top block becomes air but the bottom stays stone.

In Java Edition, structure void blocks have no collision box but have a small hitbox. Additionally, they are invisible, but are displayed as pink cubes when "Show invisible blocks" is turned on in Save mode inside a Structure Block. Blocks can also replace structure voids similarly to snow and grass. A piston can move a structure void, but the structure void pushed by the piston turns into air.

In Bedrock Edition, structure void blocks' hitboxes are the same as a full block, and, similar to barriers, appear when held by the player. Unlike Java Edition, they can support blocks such as signs, torches, rails and redstone wire. A piston cannot move a structure void.

In Bedrock Edition, structure air blocks have the same behaviors with structure void blocks, but with another texture.

As there is no collision box, entities can pass through, although liquids cannot.

History[edit | edit source]

pre1Structure voids are no longer indestructible.
The blast resistance of structure voids has been reduced to 0 (was 18,000,003).
1.1317w47aPrior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 217.
Can now be directly replaced.
1.1418w43a The item texture of structure voids has been changed.

1.1721w20a Structure voids shown by structure blocks now appear pink rather than red.
Structure void rarity color was changed from common to epic.
1.19.322w42aStructure voids no longer emit block particles when broken.[1]
22w44aStructure voids are now available in the creative inventory, but only if cheats are enabled.

They are currently available only through Experimental Gameplay.
beta 1.13.0.4 All faces now have the same lighting.
beta 1.13.0.6 All faces are brighter.
1.16.0beta 1.16.0.57The functionality of structure voids and structure blocks is no longer behind Experimental Gameplay.
??Structure airs no longer can be saved by a structure block.
1.20.20Preview 1.20.20.20Now structure void can no longer be hit.
?Increased the hardness of structure void from -1 to 0.
Preview 1.20.20.21Decreased the blast resistance of structure void from 3,600,000.75 to 0.
Preview 1.20.20.22Now structure void can be hit with same item on hand.
1.20.50Preview 1.20.50.20Now structure void can be hit without same item on hand, but there's no outline box.
