How to make a block float in the air?
When I am building in Minecraft Creative, I am trying to make sculptures and have some blocks floating in the air.. Every time I try to place a block in the air it falls to the ground. I've tried building pillars of blocks going up and then destroy the blocks under it so the block will remain floating but it seems to fall to the ground.
Do you know how I can build in the world and have some blocks floating when I place them? Is there a setting I can click that allows me to build in this way?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Are you using sand or gravel blocks by chance? There are a few blocks that can not float, these two are the ones that come to mind.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your help. I think I was using the wrong type of blocks.
Is it possible for me to place blocks in the air or do I always have to build a pillar and then destroy the block beneath it?0 -
I just did some work on a world and also had to place a block tower to get up to the height I wanted. There is a slash command you could use if you turn on "Show Coordinates". It asks where you want to start placing blocks x1y1z1 and where you want to stop placing blocks x2y2z2. If you want to place just a single block somewhere, those two sets of numbers would be the same.
/fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 block
You can use ~ ~ ~ for your current location. For example, if you want to place a diamond block right where you are standing, you would type:
/fill ~~~ ~~~ diamond_block
So you could just fly up to where you want the block, and type that command, replace diamond_block with whatever block you want, it brings up a list as you're typing the command to give you options.
