Cobblestone Wall — Minecraft block

Overview

Cobblestone 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.

Minecraft classifies Cobblestone Wall as a stone-family block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Cobblestone Wall. Its hardness of 2 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.

Anything below a wooden pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop. It drops as the same block you mined. It stacks to 64.

You make it with Cobblestone. You can also cut it from Cobblestone on a stonecutter. It is not used in any crafting recipe.

How long it takes to break

Cobblestone Wall sits at hardness 2: 10 seconds per block with your fists, 0.35 with the correct netherite tool.

An iron tool takes 0.5 seconds and a diamond one 0.4, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.

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 3.5 times the unenchanted rate.

Properties

Cobblestone Wall has a blast resistance of 6, so a nearby explosion will usually destroy it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard 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.
