The Mese Block (pronounciation: [ˈmɛˌsɛ]) is the rarest ore and the third rarest block in Minetest Game and starts appearing very deep underground, at a height of Y=-1024 or below. Mese blocks are rarer than diamond ores but not even remotely rare as Nyan Cats. Mese Blocks appear in clusters of three. A mese ore cluster is much more common. A single Mese block can be crafted to nine Mese Crystals. You need a steel pickaxe (or better) to mine it.

| Quote from the Developer Wiki:
The origin of the block is just plain random. In the early days of the game I [celeron55] needed to add something to be mined from the ground, and ended up with this humorous nonsense block, and haven't removed it from the game from since.
Mese actually means "msn messenger" in Finland and is used as a silly word (it sounds silly) in the ohjelmointiputka programming community. Additionally it is thought that the glasses of the emoticons 8) and 8D are "mese glasses".
