Stone

If stone is mined with a pickaxe that is not enchanted with silk touch, it will drop cobblestone.

Natural generation

Cobblestone occurs naturally in dungeons, strongholds, villages, jungle temples and woodland mansions.

Water and lava

See also: Tutorials/Cobblestone farming

When water and flowing lava come into contact, the flowing lava is replaced with cobblestone. However, if the lava flows on top of the water from above, stone will be created instead.

Usage

Cobblestone can be used as a basic building block, as it is highly blast resistant and fairly common.

Silverfish

Silverfish have the ability to enter and hide in cobblestone, creating a monster egg.
