FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Deepslate?

A pickaxe of wooden tier or better. Mining with any other tool drops nothing.

What does it drop?

Cobbled deepslate when mined normally, or the deepslate block itself with a Silk Touch pickaxe.

Why does it take so long to mine?

Deepslate has a hardness of 3, twice that of stone, so it takes roughly twice as long to break.

Can I get the smooth deepslate block back?

Yes. Smelt cobbled deepslate in a furnace to turn it back into solid deepslate.
