About Polished Blackstone Bricks
Polished Blackstone Bricks are a decorative building block with a clean, dark tile pattern. They do not emit light or respond to redstone, so builders mainly use them for floors, walls, and paths where a tidy Nether or fortress look is wanted.
Key facts:
- Can be made into slabs, stairs, and walls.
- Matches well with blackstone, basalt, and gilded blackstone.
- Requires a pickaxe to mine.
How to get Polished Blackstone Bricks
You can craft them from polished blackstone. Four polished blackstone in a 2x2 grid gives four bricks. A stonecutter can also cut blackstone or polished blackstone directly into the bricks. They also generate naturally inside bastion remnants in the Nether, so exploring a bastion is another way to collect them. Blackstone is common in basalt deltas and around bastions, making the Nether the main source.
