Stone is one of the most common blocks in the game. It makes up most of the Overworld.

Obtaining

When mined with a wooden pickaxe or better, stone drops cobblestone. Cobblestone is used in many crafting recipes, however the player must smelt the cobblestone to get back the stone.

Alternatively, mining Stone with a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment will make the Stone drop itself.

Natural Generation

In the Overworld, stone generates only a couple of blocks below the surface in most biomes. It then carries on until the bottom of the world. Stone can be replaces by caves, ores, gravel veins, dungeons, the J block, and the bedrock borders spawned at the edges of the world.

Smelting

Stone is a renewable resource, as cobblestone, which can be smelted into it, is renewable.

A backdrop version of the Stone block can be obtained by placing the Stone itself anywhere on the crafting grid. Backdrop blocks have no collision and are slightly darker than the original block.These type of blocks also occupy the space for any other foreground block too, so it's only purpose is only for decorating empty (or air-filled) space. To remove it, it must be replaced by another block by putting anything else in the same place.

Placing the Stone Backdrop block into the crafting grid will give the original Stone block back.

Despite backdrop blocks being unminable, this backdrop block has a mining time of 1.2 seconds.
