I've been looking at the minecraft blast resistance values, and I came across something strange:

  • Bedrock has a blast resistance of 18,000,000.
  • Structure blocks have a blast resistance of 18,000,000.
  • Command Blocks have a blast resistance of 18,000,000.
  • End Gateway Blocks have a blast resistance of 18,000,000.
  • End Portals have a blast resistance of 18,000,000.
  • End Portal Frames have a blast resistance of 18,000,000.
  • Barriers have a blast resistance of 18,000,003.

That last one seems kinda odd to me. 18,000,000 is basically indestructable, 18,000,003 is almost exactly the same. I really don't see why barriers would be 3 levels harder to destroy than bedrock, structure blocks, command blocks, end gateways, end portals, and end portal frames.

Is there a good reason for this anomaly? If so, what is it?

  • There is a dispute on the blast resistance of barriers according to minecraft.gamepedia.com/Barrier (official minecraft wiki), it has a blast resistance of 3,600,000.8 However, according to minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/…. (Fandom wiki), barriers have a blast resistance of 18,000,003, according to you. So I think there is no definite blast resistance for blocks like bedrock or command blocks, since they are indestructible and don't need to have blast resistance.

It seems like nobody knows. The edit in the Minecraft wiki just says "corrected barrier, for some reason it is 18,000,003". I don't think it's worth creating a bug report for it, since it has no downside to have this value. It might be a typo.
