Stone

Stone is a block found underground in the Overworld or on mountains.

Smooth stone is a variant of stone made by smelting regular stone.

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 mineral veins, and almost every cavern and mineshaft generates at stone level.

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

Stone can also be made by lava flowing on top of water. The water is replaced by stone.

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

Chest loot[edit]
Stone can be found in 37.7% of village mason chests in stacks of 1.

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

Smelting[edit]
Smooth stone can be smelted from stone.

In Bedrock Edition, it can also be obtained by smelting granite, andesite, and diorite. [until BE 1.13.0]

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

Trivia

 * Smooth Stone is the one of three blocks‌ [BEonly]  with a slab equivalent, but without a stairs equivalent.
