Stone is a block found underground in the Overworld or on mountains.
Smooth stone is a variant of stone made by smelting regular stone.
Contents
Occurence[edit]
Natural generation[edit]
Stone makes up the majority of the solid blocks generated. When chunks generate, stone can be found under 1-5 layers of grass and dirt in most biomes.
When the world is generating new chunks, some stone becomes mineral veins, and almost every cavern and mineshaft generates at stone level.
Smooth stone generates inside some houses in plains, savanna, and snowy tundra villages.
Post-generation[edit]
Stone can also be made by lava flowing on top of water. The water is replaced by stone.
Obtaining[edit]
Stone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops cobblestone. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. If stone is mined with a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe, it drops itself.
