Blackstone is a dark-colored block that functions similar to cobblestone or cobbled deepslate. It can be found only in the Nether.

Obtaining

Breaking

[edit | edit source]
  1. โ†‘ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking ยง Speed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Blackstone generates naturally in the Nether, particularly in the basalt deltas biome, below the surface of a lava sea, and anywhere underground.

Blackstone can be found as a part of bastion remnants.

Ore blobs of blackstone attempt to replace netherrack 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0 to 160, from levels 5 to 31โ€Œ[JE only]/36โ€Œ[BE only], in all Nether biomes except basalt deltas.

In Java Edition, blackstones also generate in big blobs, which attempt to replace netherrack 25 times per chunk in blobs of radius 3โ€”7, from Y-levels 0 to 127, in the basalt deltas biome.

Bartering

[edit | edit source]

Piglins may barter 8-16 blocks of blackstone with a chance of ~8.53% (40โ„469) when given a gold ingot.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Blackstone can be used as a substitute for cobblestone in the Nether as it can be used to craft stone tools, brewing stands, and furnaces. It can also be used to repair stone tools using an anvil. It can also be used to craft polished blackstone.

Blackstone cannot be used to craft dispensers, droppers, pistons, or other blocks that use cobblestone in their recipes.[1]
