Air is a transparent block, which can be walked and passed through by players without any resistance. An air block can be destroyed by building a solid node to its position, like for water and lava. When a non-air block gets removed, an air block immediately takes its position.

Fire occasionally replaces air near flammable blocks.

Air is the most common block in Minetest. A large part of the world above sea level consists solely of air. Air is also found underground in the form of caves. Air can’t be collected without cheating.

The map generator tries to ensure that the player always spawns inside air.

Air is a special block in Minetest. It is one of the few blocks that are always available (with Ignore), regardless of which games and mods are activated. If a game does not define any blocks whatsoever, the world will solely consist of air.

The map generator “singlenode” generates a map which consists solely of air.
