Sizes and quality

The Block of Emerald texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

The Minecraft block of emerald and what it is for

A block of emerald is worth nine emeralds and turns back into them when you need them. Since emeralds are the villagers' currency, anyone running a trading hall ends up with hundreds, and packing them into blocks is the easiest way to store them without filling whole chests.

It needs an iron pickaxe or better to drop. Besides storage, it counts as a beacon base block: a 3×3 layer under the beacon is enough to switch it on, and you can add 5×5, 7×7 and 9×9 layers in a pyramid for more effects. They do not all have to be emerald; they mix freely with blocks of iron, gold, diamond and netherite.

Bear in mind that the material does not change what the beacon does: an emerald pyramid gives the same effects as an iron one, so spending emeralds on it is an aesthetic choice, not a performance one.

A curious bit of history: when diamond blocks were added in Indev, for about a day they were called emerald blocks. The name came back years later, this time with its own ore.
