Overview
Blackstone Wall is one of the 15 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Andesite Wall is the same shape in a different material.
Blackstone Wall counts as a Nether block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Blackstone Wall is made at a crafting table. 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.
The recipe calls for Blackstone. A stonecutter can cut it straight from Blackstone, with nothing wasted. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the blackstone set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 1.5, Blackstone Wall takes 7.5 seconds to punch out and 0.25 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
Iron takes 0.4 seconds against diamond's 0.3, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to diamond.
Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 2.5 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 7.5 s | 7.5 s | 7.5 s |
| Wooden | 1.2 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.6 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.4 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.3 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.2 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
With 6 blast resistance Blackstone Wall usually goes down to a nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. 64 fit in a slot — a full stack. The block is tagged for pickaxes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
