In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 8 best Minecraft blocks for interior decoration.
1. Glazed Terracotta

2. Deepslate Bricks
This is a new block added to the game as part of the Caves and Cliffs update. It can be crafted with normal Deepslate blocks.
Overall, its particular texture is great for castle and fortress builds. Coincidentally, Deepslate brick is also one of the strongest blocks in the game and is very slow to mine. Players can't even increase their mining speed with a beacon.

This is another rare block that is suitable for castle builds. Gilded Blackstone has a unique texture, black in color with gold accents in the form of veins. They generate as part of bastion remnants and can usually be found beneath bastion chests.

Obsidian is amongst the most durable blocks in Minecraft, which makes it great for building structures.
