Obtaining[edit]
Stone requires a pickaxe to be mined, in which case it will drop cobblestone. When mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing. If stone is mined with a Silk Touch enchanted pickaxe, it will drop itself.

Natural generation[edit]
Stone makes up the majority of the solid blocks generated. When chunks generate, stone can be found under 1-5 layers of grass and dirt in most biomes.

When the world is generating new chunks, some stone becomes ore, and almost every cavern and mineshaft will generate at stone level.

Stone can be found in 37.7% of village mason chests in stacks of 1.

Smooth stone generates inside some houses in plains, savanna, and snowy tundra villages.‌[Java and Bedrock editions only]

Smooth stone can be found in 20.8% of village mason chests in stacks of 1.

Water and lava[edit]
A simple stone generator.

Main article: Tutorials/Cobblestone farming § Smooth stone generator

Stone can also be made by lava flowing on top of water, where the water will be replaced.

Repairing[edit]
Main articles: Anvil and Repairing

Even though cobblestone is used to craft stone tools and weapons, stone must be used to repair stone equipment on the anvil.

Silverfish[edit]
Silverfish have the ability to enter and hide in stone, creating an infested block.

Trading[edit]
Apprentice-level stone mason villagers will buy 20 stone for an emerald.
