Overview
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Blackstone is a Nether block. It has no crafting recipe — you collect it by mining it where it generates. Hardness 1.5 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
Mine it with a wooden pickaxe or better, or you get no drop at all. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
20 recipes call for it, including Blackstone Slab, Blackstone Stairs, Blackstone Wall and 17 more.
