How to Give a Jigsaw Block in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft a special item called a jigsaw block that can be used to create structures such as villages, pillager outposts and bastion remnants.
In Minecraft, a jigsaw block is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead you need to use the cheat called the /give command to get this item in the game.
Let's explore how to use cheats (game commands) to add a jigsaw block to your inventory.
