Stone

Stone is a block found underground in the Overworld or on mountains.

Obtaining
Stone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops cobblestone. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. If a stone is mined with a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe, it drops itself.

Natural generation
Stone makes up the majority of the solid blocks generated. When chunks generate, stone can be found under 1-5 layers of grass blocks, dirt, gravel, clay, coarse dirt, podzol, mycelium, sand, sandstone, red sand or terracotta, depending on the biome.

When the world is generating new chunks, some stone becomes mineral veins, and almost every cavern and mineshaft generates at the stone level.

Water and lava


Stone can also be made by lava flowing on top of water. The water is replaced with stone.

Smelting
Stone can be smelted from cobblestone.

Silverfish
Silverfish can enter and hide in stone, creating an infested block.

Trading
Apprentice-level stone mason villagers offer to buy 20 stone for an emerald.
