Blackstone is a dark-colored block that functions similar to cobblestone or cobbled deepslate. It can be found only in the Nether.
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[JE only]/36โ[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 3โ7, from Y-levels 0 to 127, in the basalt deltas biome.
Piglins may barter 8-16 blocks of blackstone with a chance of ~8.53% (40โ469) when given a gold ingot.
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]
Blackstone is one of the repair items for the stone tier and thus can be used to repair the following items in an anvil:
