Deny Block Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a Deny block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a Deny block is a special block that is often called the Disallow Build block. The purpose of a Deny block is to give a way to control where players can build. When a Deny block is placed, players will not be allowed to dig and place blocks anywhere above a Deny block (overriding the Students Can Build setting for a world in Education Edition).

TIP: If an Allow block is placed above a Deny block, players can build above that Allow block. (A Deny block ONLY imposes restrictions on players that do not have operator status.)

Where to find a Deny block in Creative Mode

Minecraft Education Edition

Here is where you can find a Deny block in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform	Version(s)	Creative Menu Location
Education Edition	0.14.2 – 1.0.18	Building Blocks
Education Edition	1.0.21 – 1.17.30	Construction

• Platform is the platform that applies.
• Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
• Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

Item ID and Name

Minecraft Pocket Edition (PE)

In Minecraft, a Deny block has the following Name, ID and DataValue:

Item	Description (Minecraft ID Name)	Data Value	Stack Size	Platform	Version(s)
	Deny Block (minecraft:deny)	0	64	PE	1.16.0 – 1.19.71

• Description is what the item is called and (Minecraft ID Name) is the string value that is used in game commands.
• Data Value (or damage value) identifies the variation of the block if more than one type exists for the Minecraft ID.
• Stack Size is the maximum stack size for this item. While some items in Minecraft are stackable up to 64, other items can only be stacked up to 16 or 1. (NOTE: These stack sizes are for vanilla Minecraft only. If you are running a mod, some mods may change the stack size for an item.)
• Platform is the platform that applies.
• Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers that the Minecraft ID and Name are valid for.
