Granite is a naturally occurring block found in most Overworld biomes.

Overview

Granite was first released in the Bountiful Update (1.8) for the PC version and version 0.9.0 for Minecraft: Pocket Edition. Naturally-occurring granite can be found everywhere underground, usually in large patches. It is usually exposed on the surface in Extreme Hills Biomes, but it can generate in other Biomes as well. If normal granite is placed in a 4x4 square in the lower left corner of a Crafting Table, the outcome will be 4 polished granite.

Polished Granite

Polished Granite is the smooth product after crafting 4 Granite blocks together. It is mainly used as a decorative, building block, and it was originally only craftable with a stonecutter when it first appeared in PE.

Trivia

• Granite was released on Minecraft: Pocket Edition before the PC version.
• Trying to make a slab of Polished Granite will result in three stone slabs in the Windows 10 Edition, but this may be a bug in the game.
