Stone

Stone, also known as Smooth Stone, is a type of block which was added very early in Minecraft's development. It uses the same texture on all six sides of the block. Stone appears abundantly on naturally generated maps, and (besides Air) has the most blocks in a normal map.

Creative Mode
Stone is available for use in Creative mode. The Stone layer of a Creative map contains Caverns, Ore and underground pools of Water and Lava. When Water and Lava collide, Cobblestone or Obsidian is formed.

When there were not many block types, Stone was an often-used building material. Currently, Stone is an all-around block used in buildings, basements, tunnels, roads, paths and many other things.

In Multi-player, Stone blocks will turn into Bedrock when an Op uses the /solid command. Bedrock is placed through Stone to ensure non-Op players cannot place it.

The natural Stone layer of a map contains Caverns, veins of Ore, Gravel and Dirt, Dungeons and Springs of Water and Lava.

Beta Mode
In Beta mode, Stone is a useful resource. Mining Stone with a Pickaxe will drop Cobblestone, which is used in many crafting recipes and as a sturdy building material. Cobblestone can be smelted into Smooth Stone again. Stone can be used as a building material as well and can be used in several crafting recipes.

Three Stone blocks combined with Redstone Dust and Redstone Torches result in a Repeater:

Placing three Stone blocks side by side in the crafting grid will yield you three Stone half steps, or slabs.
