How to make a Structure Void in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a structure void with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, a structure void is a block that allows you to keep blocks instead of destroying them when loading structures using the structure block. It is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace and it is not available through the Creative Inventory menu. You can only add a structure void to your inventory using a game command.
