Overview
Lodestone is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it and Bridge chest loot (Bastion Remnant). A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Lodestone. This item was added to the game in version 1.16.
In this database, Lodestone sits alongside 339 other Utility Blocks entries, each with its own page. Because it stacks to 64, a single chest of Lodestone stores up to 1,728 of them and a double chest holds 3,456, which matters when gathering enough for large builds.
