[Home](./index.md) > [server](./server.md) > [Block](./server.block.md) ## Block class Represents a block in a world. When to use: reading block data from queries like raycasts or chunk lookups. Do NOT use for: creating or placing blocks directly; use `ChunkLattice.setBlock`. **Signature:** ```typescript export default class Block ``` ## Remarks Instances are created internally and surfaced by API methods. Block coordinates are \*\*world coordinates\*\* (global block grid), not local chunk coordinates. \*\*Category:\*\* Blocks The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `Block` class. ## Properties

## Methods

Method	Modifiers	Description
[getNeighborGlobalCoordinateFromHitPoint(hitPoint)](./server.block.getneighborglobalcoordinatefromhitpoint.md)		Gets the most adjacent neighbor global coordinate of this block based on a relative hit point, typically from a raycast. Use for: placing a new block on the face that was hit.
