Polished Andesite
minecraft:polished_andesitePolished Andesite is the smooth, gray-flecked building variant of andesite, produced by crafting or stonecutting the raw stone. It shares andesite's hardness and blast resistance but reads as a cleaner, more uniform surface for construction.

FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Polished Andesite?
Any pickaxe, starting from wood. Mining without a pickaxe drops nothing.
How do I craft Polished Andesite?
Combine four Andesite blocks in a crafting grid, or cut one Andesite through a stonecutter for a 1:1 conversion.
Is Polished Andesite renewable?
Yes. Mason villagers sell it, and andesite itself is effectively unlimited underground, so the supply never runs out.
Does Fortune increase Polished Andesite drops?
No. It always drops exactly one block regardless of Fortune or Silk Touch.
