The cursor is a joke block exclusive to Java Edition 20w14∞ with an animated texture that changes its color every second, toggling between lime and black concrete.
Obtaining
[edit | edit source]Cursors are available in the Creative inventory, and naturally generate in the "terminal" dimension.
Breaking
[edit | edit source]Cursor can be mined using a pickaxe, in which case it drops itself. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation
[edit | edit source]The block naturally generates in the "terminal" dimension as the blinking "_" next to a "C:\" made of lime concrete. It appears to be cycling between black and lime concrete in appearance, which is what the rest of the "terminal" dimension is made of.
Sounds
[edit | edit source]
This section uses a sound table which may not accurately represent the sounds associated with this feature.
Because of MC-177082, subtitles for falling on blocks may not have existed at this point in development, so a dedicated sound table accounting for this may be required.
