Three blocks of chiseled stone bricks generate as part of each jungle temple.

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

Crafting ingredient
Any mixture of regular, cracked, mossy, and chiseled stone bricks can be used to make stone bricks stairs and stone bricks slabs.

Silverfish
Silverfish have the ability to enter and hide in stone bricks, creating a monster egg.

Trivia

 * Strangely, when smelting cobblestone blocks, the cracked form of stone, they turn into the smooth variant. Yet when smelting perfectly normal smooth stone bricks they turn into a cracked variant. This may however be a reference to how rocks expand when heated, and this may have caused fissures making it crack.
