Cracked Stone Brick

Cracked Stone Brick is a variant of a Stone Brick, a block that was implemented in the 1.8 Beta update. It can be found in Strongholds, which were also implemented in the 1.8 update. Its texture is a stone brick texture modified to make it look cracked. In the 1.8 update, these bricks could have been obtained from breaking stone brick stairs. This is no longer possible.

Trivia

 * It appears that, as of 1.8 pre-release, these blocks were acting like mushroom cap blocks, generating a different texture based on location.


 * Due to a bug in 1.8, it could be obtained by creating stone brick stairs, then mining them while not touching stone or near water, as mining during that time will produce different results. Placing a stair while facing north (F=1) then breaking it will get you a mossy stone brick. Placing the stairs when you are facing west (F=0) and then breaking it get you a cracked stone brick. East and south produce normal stone bricks. There is no other known way to create cracked stone bricks. This bug was fixed in version 1.0.0.


 * In 1.9 pre4 it is called stone bricks just like the other 2 versions, however the texture is different.


 * Cracked stone bricks are never silverfish blocks.


 * Also known as Cobblestone
