Blocks

Blocks (or Parts) are one of the major features in Build A Boat For Treasure. Blocks are used in the game to construct boats or other things. Blocks can be found by unlocking chests found in the Shop. All chests have random rewards. Some can be obtained in other ways.

This wiki separates blocks into seven categories:
 * Materials: These blocks are able to become a Multiblock (a larger block made of two or more blocks). An example of a material block is the Wood Block.
 * Rods: These blocks are 0.5x1.5x0.5 size versions of Material blocks, but cannot become a Multiblock. An example of a rod is the Wood Rod.
 * Decorations: These blocks serve as aesthetics on boats. An example of a decoration is the Mast or the Steering Wheel
 * Ability Blocks: These blocks have a special ability, such as a Thruster (gives thrust force) or the Magnet (attracts nearby blocks).
 * Event Blocks: These are available for a limited time and/or open to reveal a block. They can still be in other categories. An example are the 2018 Christmas Presents which opened to reveal Neon Block, Dual Candy Cane Harpoons, and Winter Jets.
 * Chest Blocks: These blocks have a small possibility of being given to the player when purchasing any type of chest. An example is the Common Chest Block.
 * Removed: These blocks have been removed and are no longer seen in-game. An example is the Tall Present.
 * Note: With upcoming updates, new blocks may be added to Build A Boat For Treasure. We might not add it to the wiki immediately as it will take us some time to find information about it.


 * Although it may seem untrue, the weight of a block does not have to correspond to it's strength. An example of this is the Titanium Block. It is much heavier than the Obsidian Block, but its strength is lower.

The game separates blocks into 3 main categories:
 * Blocks: Blocks like Wood Block. Rods, 0.5x1.5x0.5 versions like the Wood Rod, and the Truss.
 * Decorations: Blocks like Plushie 1, Mast, Steering Wheel, Chests, Doors, and Seats.
 * Ability Blocks: Parts like Thrusters, Harpoons, Fireworks, Weapons, Car/Plane Items, Cameras, Candies and Jetpacks.

Hitpoints
Every block in the game has hit points. These determine how many times it can destroy obstacles before it is destroyed. The weakest material is Wood Block, and the strongest is the Gold Block. An updated table comparing all the categories of blocks can be found here.

Rarity
The easiest material to get from a chest is Concrete because it is in nearly all chests. The rarest material from chests is Stone because the player will only receive a small amount if they manage to get it. The rarest items are the chest blocks, with a 1/1000 chance to get a Legendary Chest Block from a Legendary Chest.

Trivia

 * Blocks placed inside the grass of the Building Space will be teleported up onto the water when launched. A way to avoid that is by creating a line of blocks underground to the dirt walls on the side.
 * The Water is what blocks float on. Players will fall under the water and walk on the Sand, but are still touching the water, causing them to take damage. The water is actually solid but becomes a transparent solid when the player contacts it.
 * The rotation of a block can affect its placement. This can be noticed when placing unanchored blocks, and even more noticeable when repeatedly reloading and saving. This may cause boats to veer off to the side when using thrusters, even if it is symmetrical.
 * The Shield Generator is so far the block with the most hit points (Huge wheels have 40 hit points). One Shield Generator has 20 hit points, and they can stack their health infinitely (in theory) if they are properly connected. It can also increase the shield's size, however the size does have a maximum.
 * The Portal is the only block that can teleport the player back and forth without using Bugs or Glitches.
 * Not all blocks are obtainable from chests. An example of this is the Gold Block.
