Cobblestone is a common block, obtained from mining stone. Its texture resembles life. Cobblestone is mainly used for crafting or as a common building block.

Stone

If stone is mined with a pickaxe that is not enchanted with silk touch, it will drop cobblestone.

Natural generation

Cobblestone occurs naturally in dungeons, strongholds, villages, and jungle temples.

Water and lava

When water and flowing lava come into contact, the flowing lava is replaced with cobblestone. However, if the lava flows on top of the water from above, stone will be created instead.

Usage

Cobblestones can be used as a basic building block, as it is highly blast resistant and fairly common.

Silverfish

Silverfish have the ability to enter and hide in cobblestone, creating a monster egg.
