Overview
Chiseled Stone Bricks is one of the 5 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. Stone Bricks is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Chiseled Stone Bricks is a stone-family block. Chiseled Stone Bricks has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 1.5 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
It needs at least a wooden pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Stone Brick Slab. The stonecutter is the cheaper route: one Stone Bricks gives one of these. The one thing it makes is Lodestone.
How long it takes to break
Hardness 1.5 puts Chiseled Stone Bricks at 7.5 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.25 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
Iron takes 0.4 seconds against diamond's 0.3, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to diamond.
It will break below wooden, and you will get nothing for it. That combination of time spent and drop lost is the classic mining mistake.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 2.5 times the unenchanted rate.
| 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

One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. A pickaxe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.
