Using refers to a specific activity with a block. The kind of activity depends on the block. Not all blocks can be used.

By default, using is done by clicking with the right mouse button on the block that shall be used.
Using is not to be confused with the so-called “Use” key (E be default), which is used to move faster in fast mode.

Using requires the privilege “interact” which is given by default.
