Stone Bricks

Stone bricks are one of the materials that are used in strongholds, basements of igloos, and ocean ruins.

Cracked stone bricks are a stone bricks variant which is also found in strongholds, basements of igloos, and ocean ruins.

Mossy stone bricks are another variant, which is yet also found in strongholds, basements of igloos, and ocean ruins.

Chiseled stone bricks are yet another variant of stone bricks. It is found in jungle temples, basements of igloos, and ocean ruins.

Natural generation
Regular, cracked, and mossy stone bricks generate as part of strongholds, making up most of the walls, ceilings, and floors.

All 4 variants will also generate in underwater ruins.

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

Igloo basements are lined with stone brick, cracked at eye level and mossy at foot level, with chiseled brick along the floor and ceiling.

A single regular stone brick spawns in some snowy tundra villages.

Trivia

 * Strangely, when smelting cobblestone blocks, the cracked form of stone, they turn into stone without cracks. Yet, when smelting stone bricks without cracks, they turn into a cracked variant. This could be a reference to two different processes: how rocks expand when heated, and causing fractures, which could make the stone bricks crack; or simply melting the cobblestone so it reforms into igneous stone.
