End Stone

End Stone (also known as White Stone or Ender Stone) is a new block that appears in The End and makes up the surface of the world. It appears as a white block with a mottled texture that can be found in the 1.9 Pre3 and higher terrain.png underneath the End Portal and End Portal Frame textures. End Stone is only successfully mined with a Pickaxe and used to drop Cobblestone like normal Stone. However, mining the End Stone with a pickaxe which has a Silk Touch Enchantment would yield an End Stone block with no nametag if you moused over it. This has been fixed as of 1.9 Pre5. There is currently no way to leave the End with this block in Survival Singleplayer Mode.

Trivia

 * The texture is a dark blue Cobblestone texture with its colors inverted.
 * Endermen cannot pick up End Stone.
 * Its blast resistance is slightly greater than normal Cobblestone. If this is true, it is the most blast-resistant block that can be destroyed by explosions.
 * This block, along with Obsidian, cannot be destroyed by Enderdragons.
 * End portal frames appear to be made of End Stone, with a receptacle for an Eye of Ender on top. Notably, the bottom half of the blocks share a texture.
 * in prerelease 6, endstone drops itself, and is mined easilier by better tools.
