Cinnabar is an item in Minecraft that stacks up to 64. When a player places it, it becomes a block of the same name, so it can be used for building as well as carrying around.

Cinnabar also serves as a crafting ingredient. It appears in 16 different recipes, so players can turn it into a range of other things.
