Andesite block in Minecraft
Andesite is a plain gray stone with a slightly speckled texture, found in big pockets underground and in mountains. It looks close to cobblestone but smoother, and it is a favorite filler for paths, foundations and roofs.
It is made with the Crafting Table from Diorite and Cobblestone. It is mined with a pickaxe.
What it does
Natural pockets give plenty of it, but one diorite with one cobblestone also crafts two andesite. It mines with any pickaxe and drops itself, no Silk Touch needed.
Four andesite make four Polished Andesite, a cleaner gray block. Andesite has slabs, stairs and walls, and polished andesite has slabs and stairs; a Stonecutter produces them all. Mixed with stone, cobblestone and gravel, andesite helps break up large gray surfaces so they look less flat.
Like diorite and granite, andesite sells to a journeyman Mason for emeralds.
