FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Chiseled Sandstone?

Any pickaxe, wood tier or higher. Mining by hand or with the wrong tool yields nothing.

Is Chiseled Sandstone renewable?

Yes. Sand is renewable via gravel/sand duplication and sandstone is smelted from sand, so an unlimited supply of chiseled sandstone can always be crafted.

What is depicted in the carving?

A stylized Creeper face, a piece of Minecraft trivia fans have noted since the block's introduction.

Can I get it back to plain sandstone?

No direct recipe reverses it, but you can always craft or stonecut a fresh batch of plain sandstone separately.
