What Is Blackstone in Minecraft?

Blackstone is a rough, very dark rock that generates naturally in the Nether. It works exactly like Cobblestone for crafting - you can use it in all the same stone-tool and building recipes.

How Does Blackstone Work?

Use it anywhere a recipe calls for Cobblestone: stone pickaxes, axes, shovels, hoes, swords, furnaces, and brewing stands.
Cannot be used for Dispensers, Droppers, or Pistons - only standard cobblestone works for those.
A pickaxe is required - breaking it without one drops nothing.
Not flammable - it will not catch fire or burn.

How to Get Blackstone

How to Mine Blackstone

Found naturally in the Nether, especially in the Basalt Deltas biome and below the lava sea.
Also found inside Bastion Remnants.
Piglins can barter 8–16 Blackstone for a Gold Ingot.

How to Mine Blackstone

Use any pickaxe - wooden or better. Breaking without a pickaxe drops nothing.
