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.
