Blackstone
minecraft:blackstoneBlackstone is a dark Nether stone that functions much like cobblestone, generating in large deposits below the lava seas of basalt deltas and throughout bastion remnants. It can substitute for cobblestone in most crafting recipes and be polished, cut into slabs and stairs, or chiseled for decoration.
Uses
- Cobblestone Substitute — Crafts into stone tools, furnaces, brewing stands, and stone button/pressure plate equivalents just like cobblestone; also polishes into Polished Blackstone and its brick variants.
- Blackstone Slab / Stairs / Wall — Crafted or stonecutter-cut into slabs, stairs, and walls for building and decoration.
Found In
- Basalt Deltas — Generates in large deposits beneath the lava seas of the basalt deltas biome.
- Bastion Remnants — Forms the primary structural material of bastion remnants throughout the Nether.

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Blackstone?
A wooden pickaxe or better. Mining without a pickaxe destroys the block with no drop.
Is Blackstone affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?
No. It always drops exactly one Blackstone regardless of enchantments.
Can Blackstone replace cobblestone in recipes?
Yes, for most stone-tier recipes such as tools, furnaces, and brewing stands, but it cannot craft dispensers, droppers, or pistons.
Where is the best place to find Blackstone?
Basalt deltas offer the largest natural deposits, while bastion remnants provide easy surface access without digging.
