How to make an Allow Block in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft an Allow block with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, an Allow block is a special block that is often called the Allow Build block. The purpose of an Allow block is to give a way to control where players can build. When an Allow block is placed, players will be allowed to dig and place blocks anywhere above an Allow block (overriding the Students Can Build setting for a world in Education Edition).

TIP: An Allow block ONLY imposes restrictions on players that do not have operator status.
