How do you get Stone in Minecraft

br There are many different ways to gather stone in Minecraft. The most common would be to smelt it yourself. You can also generate stone if you do not want to terraform the land around you. br

Natural Generation

br Stone will generate on mountains and three layers below the dirt. Stone is by far one of the most common in the game and you will gather copious amounts of stone by mining for minerals and ores. br br Stone is everywhere and has a similar texture on all six sides. br

Chest Loot

br You may also find villages with stonemasons. There can be a chest that generates in their house that has a small amount of stone in them. br br Not many chests will contain stone, in fact, the stone mason’s chest is the only one that can generate with a stone inside. br

Water and Lava

br Pouring lava on top of water results in the stone being generated. br br This arrangement is a little different than most lava and water generators as when lava and flowing water come into contact, it will generate cobblestone. However, lava pouring onto a flowing water block will generate regular stone. br

Smelting

br Finally, the most common method for gathering stone is to utilize a furnace to cook cobblestone. Cooking cobblestone will smooth out its rough edges and produce regular stone. br br If you want to build with stone or smooth stone, I would recommend getting multiple furnaces cooking cobblestone to save on time. br

What is Stone used for in Minecraft

Silverfish

br Silverfish are a that can burrow into stone. Silverfish do not spawn naturally and can only come from silverfish spawners and naturally generated infested stone. Infested stone looks identical to regular stone, but when broken it will spawn a silverfish! Spawning silverfish with or spawn eggs on top of stone will result in the silverfish burrowing into the stone creating an infested stone block. br br An infested block is much easier to break than a regular stone, but it may be difficult to notice if you are idly mining with a pickaxe. Upon breaking an infested stone block, the silverfish may call out to other nearby silverfish in infested blocks, causing a swarm of silverfish. Mining an infested block with a silk touch tool will not result in the silverfish spawning and instead, you will get a regular stone block. br

br Cobblestone can be smelted into stone. If you smelt stone again it will turn into smooth stone. br br Smooth stones can be used to craft , slabs, and are used in specific recipes like an . br

Crafting Ingredient

A comparator is made as shown below, and they are very useful for Redstone devices. They can check the states of the block they are next to. br br Redstone repeaters are made with three stones, two Redstone torches, and Redstone dust. br br You can craft input blocks like pressure plates and buttons. Stone pressure plates are made with two stones. Stone pressure plates are unique as they will only detect players and that step on them rather than all entities. br br A stone button is made by placing just one stone in the crafting menu. This button will emit a Redstone pulse and does not have any special entity detecting capabilities. br br Also, the regular stone is used to craft stone bricks, slabs, and stairs. Stone bricks are made with four stones in a square, yielding four stone bricks. br br Stone slabs were made by placing three stones in a row. br br Stairs are made by arranging six stones in the . br br Finally, you can craft the job block for stonemasons and save yourself some stone with stonecutters. br br

FAQ

br

What kind of rock is Minecraft Stone

br Funnily enough, most geologists call Minecraft stone the bedrock layer. Bedrock is the name for the rock below the earth’s surface soil. Despite bedrock existing in Minecraft, the real-world equivalent for stone would most likely be bedrock. br

What is the strongest stone in Minecraft

br The strongest stone in Minecraft is undeniably bedrock as it is unbreakable in survival. If looking at just obtainable blocks, the end stone is the strongest with the highest blast resistance of all the stones coming in at nine total blast resistance. Many of the stones including brick, diorite, andesite, and granite all have around six blast resistance. br

Is Stone stronger than Cobblestone Minecraft

br They both have similar blast resistance, but cobblestone has a longer mining time. This data means that technically cobblestone is stronger than stone. br

What blocks look good with Stone

br In my opinion, stone looks best as a trim for builds. Use them as pillars or foundations to line your builds with something that seems solid. Simple wood planks look nice with stone blocks and you can alternate between planks and stones in a checkerboard pattern to make a nice flooring. I personally prefer the texture of stone bricks or cobblestone more than regular stone. br br Stone has a smooth regular texture so it plays nicely with blocks that also have a smooth texture or pattern in them. The tops of logs work nicely with stone. Basalt works well with stone, from the tops or sides, as they both have similar coloration, but enough difference to help them stand out from each other. br br Of course, what looks best is up for debate. Use stone wherever it seems to make sense or looks nice. Be creative and enjoy what stone blocks have to offer. br

How do you make a Stone Slab

br Stone slabs are made in a crafting table with three stone blocks in a row. You can also make stone slabs in a stonecutter by placing stones in the left slot and selecting slabs. This has the benefit of only using one stone at a time to get two slabs rather than three stones to make six slabs. br
