Andesite

Blocks

Andesite — block.

Obtaining

Andesite is an Overworld stone that can be mined with a pickaxe. Without a pickaxe the block does not drop, so bring at least a wooden pickaxe when collecting it.

Loot tableAndesiteDetailed drops are not published yet.

Breaking

Mine andesite with a pickaxe; the block drops itself and can then be used for the polished andesite family or for decorative variants.

Natural generation

Andesite generates underground as ore blobs in the Overworld. One placement pass is concentrated between Y 0 and Y 60, while a less frequent pass reaches from Y 64 to Y 128; the blobs can replace common stone-family hosts.

Ingredients match the published snapshot.

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

Andesite has the same practical stone role as other common stone blocks and is mainly used as a durable building material. Its polished and cut variants make a consistent gray construction set.

Data: Usage
Shape	Full cube
Rendering	Isometric preview

Crafting ingredient

Andesite is the base ingredient for polished andesite and its slab and stair variants. The recipes keep the same gray stone palette while changing the surface pattern.

Stonecutting ingredient

A stonecutter converts one andesite into a slab, stair, or wall output without the extra material used by shaped crafting. This is useful when a build needs exact counts.

Data: Stonecutting ingredient
One andesite	Two andesite slabs
One andesite	One andesite stair
One andesite	One andesite wall

Trivia

Andesite is the fine-grained volcanic counterpart to diorite. In the game, both blocks form a closely related gray stone palette, which is why their polished variants work well together in walls and floors.
