How to mine Ender Chest
The best tool for Ender Chest is the Pickaxe. To get the block as a drop you need any tool (or even your hand). With a hardness of 22.5, it is extremely tough.
When mined it drops Obsidian instead of itself — use a Silk Touch tool to collect the block itself.
| Property | Value |

| Best tool | Pickaxe |

| Blast resistance | 600 |
| Light level | 7 (gives off light) |
| Transparent | No |
Good blast resistance — it survives most creeper explosions nearby. It also gives off light level 7, a soft glow that is too dim to stop mob spawns on its own.
