Why You Can't Break Bedrock in Minecraft

Added: 2026-04-28

[00:00:00]You've tried. Everyone have tried. But nobody actually knows why your pickaxe does nothing.

[00:00:06]Obsidian, the hardest block you can actually mine, has a blast resistance of 1,200. That's tough.

[00:00:12]You need a lot of TNT to even scratch it.

[00:00:16]So, how hard is bedrock?

[00:00:21]It is 3,000 [music] times harder.

[00:00:24]That's not a difficulty level. That's a wall the devs built. And here's the wildest part. When the game calculates how long it takes to mine bedrock, it returns infinity.

[00:00:33]The actual word. Infinity.

[00:00:36]The developers literally hardcoded the concept of never into this block. Next video, the end portal frame. Blast resistance of 18 million. Even more unbreakable than bedrock.

[00:00:47]That video is already up.

[00:00:49]Follow to see it.
