What is End Stone in Minecraft?
End stone is a unique type of stone that makes up almost the entire landscape of the End dimension. It has a pale, yellowish color and a bumpy, cratered texture, making it look a bit like cheese or the surface of the moon. Its main purpose is to be the primary building block of the End. It is also a very useful building material for players. A very important property of End stone is that it is completely immune to being destroyed by the Ender Dragon. This makes it the perfect block for building shelters or platforms during the dragon fight. It also has a good blast resistance, making it quite durable.
How to get End Stone in Minecraft
The only way to get End stone is to travel to the End and mine it. To get to the End, you must find a stronghold and activate the End portal. Once you are in the End, you will see that the entire dimension is made of End stone. The main island and all the outer islands are composed of it. You can mine it with any pickaxe, but a wooden pickaxe will be very slow. It is a fairly tough block, so a diamond or netherite pickaxe is recommended if you want to gather a lot of it quickly. There is an infinite supply of it in the End, so you can collect as much as you want for your building projects.
How to use End Stone in Minecraft
The main use for End stone is for building. Its unique, pale yellow color and bumpy texture make it a great choice for creating alien landscapes, magical towers, or anything that needs to look otherworldly. It pairs very well with the purple purpur blocks that are also found in the End. A key survival use is during the Ender Dragon fight. Since the dragon cannot break End stone, you can use it to build a small panic room or to pillar up to the top of the obsidian towers without the dragon knocking you down. End stone is also the only block that chorus plants can grow on. You can also craft it into End stone bricks for a more refined look, as well as stairs and slabs.
