Building with it

Purpur is the End's building block, made from four popped chorus fruit. End cities are built from it, so it reads as alien in an Overworld build, and it cuts into stairs, slabs and the pillar variant. Its colour sits between magenta and grey, which is why it pairs with end stone rather than with anything from home.
