Cobblestone is a common block obtained from mining stone. It is mainly used for crafting or as a building block.

Obtaining

Breaking

The suitable tool to break cobblestone is pickaxe. Cobblestone needs to be broken using a pickaxe, otherwise the breaking time will increase and the block drops nothing.

Cobblestone drops itself when it's destroyed.

Natural generation

Cobblestone occurs naturally in monster rooms, jungle pyramids, pillager outposts, ocean ruins, strongholds, villages, woodland mansions, trail ruins, in trial chambers surrounding baby zombies spawners alongside mossy cobblestone and in some campsites of abandoned camp.

A single block of cobblestone always generates at the coordinates of (8, -61, 8) at the center of the void start platform, in Superflat worlds created with the Void biome preset.

Post-generation

When water and flowing lava come into contact, the flowing lava is replaced by cobblestone. However, if the lava flows on top of the water from above, stone is created instead. Non-flowing lava (a lava source block) turns into obsidian upon contact with water, thus the requirement of flowing lava.

Block drops

Cobblestone is dropped by stone when broken without Silk Touch, and also by infested cobblestone when broken with Silk Touch.

Usage

Cobblestone can be used as a basic building block, as it has relatively high blast resistance and is common.

Silverfish

Silverfish can enter and hide in cobblestone, creating an infested block.
