Stone

Stone
Stone is a very common block found only in the Overworld, it makes up the majority of chunks that generate in a Minecraft world. After Air, Stone is the second most common block in the game. In recent updates Andesite, Diorite and Granite were added and they generate in viens where Stone usually generates.

Stone is most often used as a building material and unless the player has a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe, Stone can be quite a hard material to collect in vast quantities, since a normal Stone block drops Cobblestone.

As a crafting ingredient Stone can be used to make alot of things like Stone Pressure Plates, Buttons, Repeaters and Comparators.

When flowing water meets flowing lava, Stone can be created. This will ususally happen in ravines since both liquids will generate down there. This mechanic can also be a good way to start a Superflat Survival.
