What Is Andesite in Minecraft?

Andesite is a speckled grey stone that generates in big blobs underground. It's a great building material and you can polish it for a sleeker look.

How Does Andesite Work?

  • It has the same blast resistance as regular Stone, so it's a solid, tough building block.
  • You need a pickaxe to mine it - punching it with your hand drops nothing.
