Stone Bricks

Stone bricks and the variants cracked stone bricks,  mossy stone bricks, and  chiseled stone bricks are materials found in structures such as strongholds, igloo basements, jungle temples, ocean ruins, ruined portals, and trail ruins.

Smooth stone bricks are a fifth variant exclusive to Bedrock Edition, visually identical to regular stone bricks, which cannot be found naturally and are only accessible via commands.

Stone bricks can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, they drop nothing.

Stone bricks, mossy stone bricks, cracked stone bricks and chiseled stone bricks can also be obtained by mining their respective infested blocks with Silk Touch.

Natural generation
Regular stone bricks, as well as occasional cracked and mossy stone bricks, generate as part of strongholds, making up most of the walls, ceilings, and floors. They and chiseled stone bricks can also generate as part of ocean ruins and ruined portals. Igloo basements are lined with stone bricks. In addition, three chiseled stone bricks generate as part of each jungle temple. Stone bricks and mossy stone bricks can also spawn in trail ruins.

Usage
As stone bricks offer no real advantage over stone or cobblestone, their main use is for decoration.

Note Blocks
All types of stone bricks can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Silverfish
Silverfish have the ability to enter and hide in any variant of stone bricks, creating an infested block of the corresponding type.
