Conduit at a glance

Conduit comes from crafting, and Utility Blocks is where it sits as a block. A slot of Conduit holds 64, nine slots hold 576, and 1728 fill a chest.

Hardness 3 is what Conduit is worth in the block data. For Conduit the blast resistance is not separate: it is 3 as well. The tool tag on Conduit is a pickaxe, with no tier requirement behind it. It lights its surroundings at level 15. It sits between Composter and Copper Door in Utility Blocks, number 89 of 340 there.

Building with it
