Stone

Stone, also known as Smooth Stone or Natural Stone is a type of block. 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 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.

Beta Mode
In Beta mode, Stone is a useful resource. 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 not drop anything. 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.

As of 1.9 Pre-Release, Stone can be made by having lava flow on top of water. In previous versions the lava would replace the water and continue falling.
