Stone

Stone is probably the most common block making up most of the world beneath the surface and is even sometimes on the surface. Stone has to be mined to be gained. The best tool for mining is a pickaxe. Some comes in two forms, its natural form and its mined form. Natural rock can be mined and then becomes mined rock and can be placed as mined rock. At a certain point, usually under the bottom naturally generated dirt block there is a permanent stone back wall. With the HD texture pack mined stone looks more like medieval stone blocks out cobblestone.

Uses
Stone can be used to craft several benches and other items. It can also be used to construct buildings.
