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. Many people also like to use this for buildings because it looks like a sort of "moon stone" in Minecraft and also has a high blast resistance, 1.5 times of normal stone, higher than that of any other block that CAN be destroyed by an explosion (the ones above it being obsidian, bedrock, water and lava). A three block thick wall of End Stone will absorb a regular TNT explosion, and Endermen cannot pick up End Stone blocks.

Trivia

 * The texture is a dark blue Cobblestone texture with its colors inverted.
 * Endermen cannot pick up End Stone.
 * Its blast resistance is greater than normal Cobblestone or Stone, as evidenced by the damage of a single TNT explosion shown here.
 * 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.
 * The texture for End Stone changed in 1.9 pre3 from a whiter texture to the current texture.
