Chiseled Deepslate — Minecraft block

Overview

Chiseled Deepslate is one of the 4 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. Deepslate is the same shape in a different material.

Minecraft classifies Chiseled Deepslate as a stone-family block. Chiseled Deepslate is made at a crafting table. Expect to wait: its hardness of 3.5 is well above average.

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 Cobbled Deepslate Slab. A stonecutter can cut it straight from Cobbled Deepslate, with nothing wasted. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.

About the deepslate set

How long it takes to break

Chiseled Deepslate has a hardness of 3.5. By hand that is 18 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.6 seconds.

You are looking at 0.9 seconds on iron and 0.7 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.

The block still breaks with a weaker tool, but below wooden it yields nothing at all — the time is spent and the drop is lost, which is the single most common way players waste a vein.

Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 4 times faster than an unenchanted one.

Properties

Chiseled Deepslate resists blasts at 6, which usually is not enough when something explodes nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. A pickaxe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
