Description
Chiseled Tuff is a decorative stone block that shows a carved pattern on its surface and brings a rugged natural look to building projects. It is part of the tuff family which is made from volcanic ash and compacted stone like material and the chiseled variant offers a regular repeating motif that suits pillars facings and feature walls. The block reads as both natural and crafted which makes it perfect for builds that want to feel rooted in the landscape while still showing evidence of careful human work. Because tuff has a slightly rough texture the chiseled face provides a controlled contrast that looks good in caverns mountain bases and garden ruins. Builders often pair Chiseled Tuff with mossy accents and with wooden elements to give an aged but maintained appearance to structures. The block is easy to place and repeat across large areas to form strong looking walls or columns without adding complexity to the construction process. It works well for both interior and exterior designs and is particularly suited to foundations and plinths where a darker carved base helps to ground lighter materials above. In short Chiseled Tuff is a flexible decorative block that gives a weathered carved look without needing rare materials making it a practical choice for many styles of building.

Where to find Chiseled Tuff
Chiseled Tuff does not commonly generate in natural structures in its chiseled form but tuff itself appears in mountainous and underground regions where volcanic influenced geology is present. Players will usually collect raw tuff material and then shape it into chiseled variants using crafting methods or a stone cutter in the game. On multiplayer servers and in creative builds you will often see Chiseled Tuff used in foundations and in older style villages and ruins created by players.
How to get Chiseled Tuff
To get Chiseled Tuff mine tuff blocks with a pickaxe in areas where tuff generates and then use the stone cutter or available crafting recipe to convert tuff into chiseled variants where your game version supports that action. In creative mode take the block directly from the inventory. On some servers shops and builders might sell chiseled tuff as a finished material for convenience.
