Deepslate

Deepslate is a stone variant found deep underground in the Overworld that functions similar to regular stone.

Breaking
Deepslate can be obtained only by mining it using a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment, otherwise it drops cobbled deepslate. If broken with any other tool, it drops nothing.

Natural generation
Deepslate makes up the majority of the solid blocks generated below y = 0 in the Overworld. Stone is gradually replaced from y = 0 to y = -7 until being completely substituted by deepslate.

When the world is generating new chunks, some deepslate becomes mineral veins, and caverns and other underground structures generate at the deepslate level.

Usage
Deepslate can be mined with a pickaxe to obtain cobbled deepslate.

Trivia

 * Similar to grass blocks, the orientation of the texture varies depending on the coordinates.
