End Stone

"Journey to the End and you’ll find a dimension of eternal, starless night - a gently fizzing purple void in which float sallow islands of… what exactly? ... I personally think of it as some porous, coral-like substance, naturally accruing from unseen spores that float in the haze of night."

- Marsh Davies

End stone is a block that appears in the End and, apart from generated structures, makes up all of the solid ground that exists in that dimension.

Obtaining
End stone must be obtained using a pickaxe of any tier. If it is mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation
End stone is only found in the End, where it makes up the island. There is a finite amount of end stone on the island.

In the computer edition, additional islands also generate in the End, making a near infinite (but non-renewable) amount of end stone available.

In the computer edition, the 16 end stone blocks under the edge of the exit portal are replaced when the dragon is respawned, and again when it is killed. As dragons are also renewable, this does make end stone renewable.

Usage
End stone has a blast resistance of 45, 1.5 times that of ordinary stone. It also cannot be picked up by endermen and cannot be destroyed by the ender dragon.
