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

Breaking

End stone can be obtained using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

A large island consisting entirely of end stone.

End stone is found only in the End, where it makes up all the floating islands that generate in the dimension.

Post-generation

Exit portal

The 16 end stone blocks under the edge of the exit portal are replaced when the ender dragon is respawned, and again when it is killed. Because end crystals, which are used to respawn the dragon, are renewable, this does make end stone renewable.

End gateways generate a small floating island of end stone when an entity travels through, for the entity to land on if there are no valid locations.

If an exit portal exists at a different position from the world origin (for example, an old exit portal from before 1.9), it will be completely converted into end stone if the ender dragon is re-summoned.

Usage

End stone has a blast resistance of 9, which is 3 more than that of ordinary stone. This is the highest blast resistance of any block movable by pistons besides anvils‌, ancient debris and block of netherite. It also cannot be picked up by endermen and cannot be destroyed by the ender dragon. In addition, it is the only block on which chorus flowers can be planted.

History

Java Edition
1.0.0		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 3			A white cobblestone texture was added to the terrain.png presumably to be used as end stone; however it wasn't used by any block at the time. Language files from 1.1 suggest this texture to be the original texture for end stone, as the internal name and translation key was "whiteStone"
		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 4			The white texture has been changed, and end stone has been introduced as a block with the overhauled texture.
					End stone can be successfully mined only with a pickaxe, dropping cobblestone like normal stone.
		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5			End stone now has a name in the inventory.
					End stone now drops itself when mined.
		Beta 1.9 Prerelease 6			Mining time now decreases with pickaxes.
1.8		14w11b			End stone with numerical metadata variants 1 through 15, which are inaccessible through normal gameplay, now have no model rather than appearing identical to end stone.
		14w26a			Block metadata has been completely removed from this snapshot onwards with the introduction of block states. As this block never used block metadata at all prior to this version, fifteen unused, inaccessible metadata variants of it have been completely removed from the game: DV Description 0 End Stone 1-15 Inaccessible "boring" variants of end stone
1.9		15w31a			End stone can now be used to craft end stone bricks.
		15w44b			The ender dragon can now be resummoned using end crystals, a renewable resource, which regenerates end stone below the exit portal, making end stone renewable.
1.13		17w47a			Prior to The Flattening, this block's numeral ID was 121.
1.14		18w43a			The texture of end stone has been changed.

Trivia

• End stone's texture is an inversion, geometric translation, and recoloration of the cobblestone texture. (Specifically, the texture is shifted 3 pixels up, and 8 pixels to the right.)
