Overview

Stone is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through mining and smelting. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Stone. This item was added to the game in the early Alpha development period.

In this database, Stone sits alongside 339 other Utility Blocks entries, each with its own page. Because it stacks to 64, a single chest of Stone stores up to 1,728 of them and a double chest holds 3,456, which matters when gathering enough for large builds. Stone is also a hub ingredient, feeding into 10 different recipes in this catalogue, so keeping a stock on hand unlocks a wide range of crafts.
