Stone

Stone is a block found underground in the Overworld or on the surface of mountains.

Obtaining
Stone requires a shovel to be mined, in which case it drops cobblestone. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. If a stone is mined with a Silk Touch enchanted shovel, it drops itself.

Natural generation
Stone makes up the majority of the solid blocks generated in the overworld. When chunks generate, stone can be found under 1-5 layers of grass blocks, dirt, gravel, clay, coarse dirt, podzol, mycelium, sand, sandstone, red sand or terracotta, depending on the biome. There is approximately 11,520 stone per chunk.

When the world is generating new chunks, some stone becomes mineral veins, and almost every cavern and mineshaft generates at the stone level.

Water and lava


Stone can also be made by lava flowing on top of water blocks (both flowing and source). The water is replaced with stone.

Smelting
Stone can be smelted from cobblestone.

Silverfish
Silverfish can enter and hide in stone, creating an infested block.

Trading
Apprentice-level stone mason villagers offer to buy 20 stone for an emerald.

Note Blocks
Stone can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.
