Deepslate

Deepslate is a variant of stone that is found deep underground in the Overworld. It functions similar to how cobblestone works and can be used in some recipes. It is significantly harder to break compared to cobblestone.

How to obtain deepslate?


Deepslate is naturally generated deep underground and makes up the majority of the solid blocks under Y level 0. Stone is gradually replaced by deepslate from Y level 8 to Y level 0 until it is completely phased out by deepslate. You can only pick it up by breaking it with a pickaxe, as if any other tool is used to break deepslate, nothing will drop. Deepslate can also be found in loot chests in ancient cities.
