It has been suggested that the contents of this page be split into "Stone" and "Smooth Stone". Discuss The topics presented on this page may be diverse enough to warrant distinct pages.
Reason: Pretty different blocks, why are they even together? |
This article is about the block called stone. For other kinds of stone, see Rock.

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
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 1-5 layers of grass and dirt in most biomes.
When the world is generating new chunks, some stone becomes ore, and almost every cavern and mineshaft will generate at stone level.
Stone can be found in 37.7% of village mason chests in stacks of 1.
Smooth stone generates inside some houses in plains, savanna, and snowy tundra villages.[Java and Bedrock editions only]
Smooth stone can be found in 20.8% of village mason chests in stacks of 1.
Water and lava[edit]
Stone can also be made by lava flowing on top of water, where the water will be replaced.
Smelting[edit]

Usage[edit]
Repairing[edit]
Even though cobblestone is used to craft stone tools and weapons, stone must be used to repair stone equipment on the anvil.
