Naming
According to Minutor, a user-made mapping tool, 'Bloodstone' is called Brimstone. This might not be canon, but I think it deserves a mention. XANA520 23:30, 30 October 2010 (CDT)

This page is called Hellstone, yet the block template refers to Bloodstone. I don't want to change it until we've decided on a name, can someone make a choice please? DannyF1966 05:30, 31 October 2010 (CDT)
 * I have. hellstone. it is not blood, it is moss, he said so. until further notice, it is hellstone.


 * also, I want to add that notch always does this to us, and it's really frustrating!--Kizzycocoa 10:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, this block couldn't be bloodstone, as bloodstone(the nickname for heliotrope) is green, with red 'spots'. --Antome 01:15, 1 November 2010 (CDT)

I think the name should be Netherstone as the official name for the dimension is "The Nether" (Plus I think Netherstone has a better ring to it). --Flanjygo 12:59, 1 November 2010 (CDT)

The only certainty we have is that it's NOT called hellstone, since notch is avoiding all references to hell and other real world religions as he stated in his blog and twitter. MLegion 04:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Avoiding all references to hell? I thought he did the image. Did I mix that one up? --Nekoyoubi 21:32, 3 November 2010 (CDT)
 * That image was did by Notch before he avoided all references to Hell.--Somebody500 23:44, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * THE OFFICIAL NAME IS NETHERSTONE, See here: http://twitter.com/notch/status/472444385107968 Does that mean we can rename the article? -F1racer101 09:09, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Hellstone as a fuel
The article claims Hellstone can be used as a fuel. I just tried using Hellstone as a fuel for Iron Ore, Sand and Cobblestone, and it didn't work. As I didn't have any Clay, Gold Ore, Pork or Fish on me at the time, I couldn't test those. I won't remove the claim from the article in case it does in fact work as fuel for these items, although why it would work for some and not others, I have no clue. --King Elemento 17:21, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I have tried pork, and it does nothing. I don't know where the fuel info came from, but I'm pretty sure it is wrong. Jessejericho 17:26, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Iron Blocks and Smoothstone are also not destroyed
How do I know? Well, I learned my lesson about hacking 7 spawners to become Ghast Spawners x.x Should I provide video proof of this before adding it, or is my word good enough? -Icalasari 05:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, pretty much everything has a higher resistance to the ghastss fireballs than Hellstone, so that information wouldn't really prove relevant unless you are planing on making a controlled test, which would include every block your hacking self can spawn in. I would like to personally see how TNT handles the fireballs. Levy 15:55, 4 November 2010 (CDT)
 * Can someone (modder?) get the strength of fireballs in relation to TNT?--PurpleKiwi 17:31, 4 November 2010 (CDT)
