Granite

Granite is a block of igneous rock, found in large pockets in the ground.

Polished granite is the polished version of granite.

Natural generation
Granite can generate in the Overworld in the form of blobs. Granite attempts to generate 10 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-160, from elevations 0 to 79, in all biomes. , granite only attempts to generate twice per chunk, however, the blobs are size 0-862. Granite can replace stone, diorite, andesite, tuff, and deepslate.

Granite generates in desert village armorer houses.

Granite can also generate as a part of coral reefs.

Polished granite generates in some ocean ruins.

Breaking
Granite can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Trading

Usage
Granite is currently used only for decoration. It has the same blast resistance as stone, meaning it can be used as a substitute for stone when building.

Trivia

 * Granite rock comes from underground magma pockets that turned cold. It's often pinkish in color because of its alkali feldspar minerals.
 * Because granite is always formed underground, finding it exposed on a hillside means either the surface was higher when it cooled, or the rock was transported up to the surface from deep below.
 * Diorite is another magma-pocket rock, but it has less quartz in it. Adding Nether quartz to diorite yields granite blocks.
