About Polished Blackstone

Polished Blackstone is a clean, dark building block made from regular blackstone. It has a smooth stone-like texture and is mainly used for decoration and modern or Nether-themed builds.

You can use it as a building block on its own, or craft it further into polished blackstone stairs, slabs, walls, buttons, and pressure plates. It behaves like stone, so you need a pickaxe to mine it, and it drops itself when broken.

How to get Polished Blackstone

You can craft Polished Blackstone from four blocks of regular blackstone in a 2x2 grid, which gives four polished blocks. A stonecutter is even more efficient, turning one blackstone into one polished blackstone.

It also generates naturally in bastion remnants in the Nether, so you can collect some while exploring those structures if you are already there for gold or other loot.
