Trivia

• Netherrack is the most abundant Block in The Nether.
  • It is the equivalent of Dirt in the Overworld in terms of function and abundance.
• Netherrack is the only Block which permanently stays on Fire once lit with a Flint and Steel.
  • This will change after Update 1.1.3, when Magma Blocks will be added.
• Netherrack can also be lit by a Ghast when it shoots a Fire Charge at the Player.
• Netherrack can be easily broken by hand, being the first Stone-type Block to do so. However, it cannot be obtained by doing so, but this can be useful if the Player gets stuck in the Nether with no Pickaxe.
• Netherrack used to be obtained by the Nether Reactor, but since it was removed in Update 0.12.1, it is only obtainable through the Nether.
• From Update 0.6.0 to Update 0.11.0, the Nether Spire was completely comprised of Netherrack, and later would turn into Obsidian. This was removed when the Nether Reactor was removed.
• If a Nether Portal is spawned over an ocean, Netherrack will generate around the portal.
