Tuff block in Minecraft

Added in 1.17 Mined with: pickaxe Stack size: 64 In 1 tutorial ↓

Tuff is a dark gray volcanic stone found in large patches deep underground, mostly around the deepslate layer. It is also the main building material of trial chambers, alongside copper.

It cannot be crafted; it can be found in chests. It is mined with a pickaxe.

What it does

Tuff mines as fast as ordinary stone and drops itself, without needing Silk Touch. Underground it often sits next to ores, and it shows up in big blobs that are easy to quarry.

On its own it looks rough, but it is the base of a full building set: Polished Tuff, Tuff Bricks, chiseled tuff and chiseled tuff bricks, each with slabs, stairs and walls. A Stonecutter turns it into any of them in one step, and four tuff also craft four polished tuff.

The tuff blocks you see in trial chambers are this same family, so exploring one is a good way to see how they combine with copper.
