Stone Bricks block in Minecraft

Present since 1.0 or earlier Mined with: pickaxe Stack size: 64 In 7 tutorials ↓

Stone Bricks are the plain version: four stone in a square make four, or a stonecutter cuts one from each stone block. Strongholds and many ruins are built from them. Like the whole stone brick family, it comes from Stone and has slabs, stairs and walls in the same style. The Stone page describes the material these bricks are cut from.

It is made with the Crafting Table from 4 × Stone (other recipes also exist). It is mined with a pickaxe.
