'''Purpur blocks''' and '''purpur pillars''' are decorative [[block]]s that are naturally generated in [[End city|end cities]] and [[end ship]]s.

'''Chiseled purpur''' and '''smooth purpur''' are two further variants of purpur blocks exclusive to [[Bedrock Edition]] that can be accessed only by [[commands]], and appear identical to regular purpur blocks.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===

Purpur blocks and pillars can be [[breaking|mined]] using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it [[drops]] nothing.
