About Diorite

Diorite is a pale, speckled stone block. Its white and grey surface with dark flecks makes it a popular building block when you want something lighter than regular stone or cobblestone.

You can craft it into polished diorite for a smoother look, then turn that into slabs, stairs, and walls. A stonecutter is also handy for making those shapes directly. It is purely decorative and does not give off light or power redstone.

How to get Diorite

Diorite is easy to get underground. It generates in blobs inside the stone layer, and you can mine it with any pickaxe. Without a pickaxe it drops nothing.

If you do not want to go mining, you can craft diorite from two cobblestone and two nether quartz, which gives you two blocks. So a trip to the Nether for quartz is an alternative to searching caves.
