Andesite is a block of igneous rock, most often found in large pockets in the ground.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Andesite can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking Β§ Speed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]
See also: Ore (feature)

Andesite can generate in the Overworld in the form of ore blobs. Andesite attempts to generate in two batches. The first batch generate 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-864, from elevations 0 to 60, in all biomes. The second batch has 1⁄6 chance to generate blobs of size 0-864, from elevation 64 to 128. In Bedrock Edition, andesite can replace stone, diorite, granite, polished andesite, polished diorite and polished granite. In Java Edition, andesite can replace stone, diorite, granite, tuff and deepslate.

In Bedrock Edition, andesite generates naturally in coral reefs, replacing some coral as part of coral crusts.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Andesite has the same blast resistance as stone, meaning it can be used as a substitute for stone when building.

1.814w02aThe newly-implemented granite, and diorite, as well as the polished versions for each, use stone's ID and are distinguished using metadata.
14w06aStone now uses the newly-implemented model json file models/block/cube.json; previously the geometry was defined in the game code itself.
14w10aStone with numerical metadata variants 7 through 15, which are inaccessible through normal gameplay, now have no model πŸ‘ Image
rather than appearing identical to stone.
14w25aStone and its variants are now defined via block states rather than by numerical metadata. Prior to this version, the numerical metadata variants of stone were as follows:

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Andesite" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • In the real world, andesite rock comes from above-ground lava flows. Finding andesite underground means the world's surface used to be lower, and the lava flow was buried.
    • Diorite is andesite's below-ground equivalent: The two rocks come from the same kind of magma, but diorite rocks are formed from solidifying underground magma chambers. The long, slow cool makes it look coarser than andesite.
