Stone is a block found extremely commonly in the Overworld.
Smooth stone is a variant of stone available in the creative inventory,[JE & LCE only][until JE 1.14] or made by smelting regular stone.[JE, BE & PS4 only][upcoming: JE 1.14]
Contents
Obtaining[edit]
Stone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it will drop cobblestone. When mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing. If stone is mined with a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe, it will drop itself.

Natural generation[edit]
Stone makes up the majority of the solid blocks generated. When chunks generate, stone can be found under layers of grass and dirt in most biomes. It can also be seen exposed at the side of mountains.
When the world is generating new chunks, some stone becomes ore, and almost every cavern and mineshaft will generate at stone level.
Smooth stone generates inside some houses in plains, savanna, and snowy tundra villages.[upcoming: JE 1.14]
Stone and smooth stone can be found in village mason chests.[upcoming: JE 1.14 & BE 1.11.0]
Water and lava[edit]
Stone can also be made by lava flowing on top of water, where the water will be replaced.
