# Resistance

Resistance is a float value used to calculate the explosion resistance of the machine block.

Blocks with higher resistance won't be destroyed when near an explosion.

The default resistance is 3.5.

Some comparisons with vanilla blocks :&#x20;

* Wool : 0.8
* Stone : 6
* Dirt : 0.5
* Obsidian : 1200
* Netherrack : 0.4
* End stone : 9

#### Example

```json5
"appearance": {
    "resistance": 42
}
```
