In the Minecraft 1.19 update, bricks are frequently used as building blocks for bases and other structures. The sandbox game is known for the freedom it gives the players to build almost anything. There are loads of blocks for players to choose from, and they construct a completely customized build. Brick blocks are one of the most used blocks in builds since they provide reinforcement to the structure and also look esthetically pleasing and realistic.

There are several types of brick blocks in the game, from normal clay bricks to red nether bricks made from mysterious items found in the Nether. Though there are several variants like cracked or infested brick blocks, this list shows all the normal and chiseled brick blocks since they are more often used by players for construction.
