Block reinforcement is another "soft" method of protecting your property in multiplayer. It allows you to reinforce most 'hard' blocks, requiring other players to break the block multiple times (up to 800 times!) before it actually breaks and drops.  There are also locks which let you lock doors and chests, which can be used in combination with reinforcing the door or chest itself.

Hard blocks are defined as anything made out of stone, metal, wood or clay/ceramic, also regular dirt blocks and ice.  Fences and doors are constructed of wood and can therefore be reinforced.  Even small wooden or ceramic objects or placed lanterns can be reinforced - think of it as bolting or chaining that block down firmly! As from game version 1.15, plants, leaves, liquid blocks, sand and gravel and snow, ''cannot'' be reinforced.  Those softer blocks were able to be reinforced in game version 1.14 and below: in older saved games where these types of blocks were reinforced, that reinforcement will be automatically removed in 1.15.

<strong>Game updates:</strong> As from game version 1.15, plants, leaves, liquid blocks, sand and gravel and snow, ''cannot'' be reinforced.  Plants here includes all crops, saplings, placed pumpkins, hay blocks.  Those softer blocks were able to be reinforced in game version 1.14 and below: in older saved games where these types of blocks were reinforced, that reinforcement will be automatically removed in 1.15.
