Stone

Stone, also known as smooth stone, is a block found in abundance in the Overworld. It uses the same texture on all six sides of the block. When mined, stone produces cobblestone.

Stone is an often-used building material in the construction of buildings, paths and many other things.

After air, stone is the second most common block found in a normal map.

Properties
Stone can only be successfully mined with a pickaxe and will drop cobblestone, which is used in many crafting recipes and as a sturdy building material. As of Beta 1.9pre4 Stone can also be successfully mined with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch I and will then drop one stone block. If it is not mined with a pickaxe, then it will drop nothing. Cobblestone can besmelted into smooth stone again. Stone can be used as a building material as well and can be used in several crafting recipes.

As of Beta 1.9 pre1, stone can be made by having lava flow on top of water. In previous versions the lava would replace the water and continue falling. Later, Beta 1.9 pre5 changed the texture of Stone.

Before Beta 1.9 pre-release 5 stone had a different texture:
