Overview
Deepslate Bricks is one of the 7 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. Bricks is the same shape in a different material.
Deepslate Bricks is a stone-family block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Deepslate Bricks has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At hardness 3.5 this is one of the tougher blocks in the game.
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 Polished Deepslate. The stonecutter is the cheaper route: one Cobbled Deepslate gives one of these. 8 recipes call for it, including Deepslate Brick Slab, Deepslate Brick Stairs, Deepslate Brick Wall and 5 more.
About the deepslate set
How long it takes to break
Deepslate Bricks 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.
Iron takes 0.9 seconds against diamond's 0.7, so the upgrade worth making 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.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 4 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 18 s | 18 s | 18 s |
| Wooden | 2.7 s | 0.45 s | 0.2 s |
| Stone | 1.4 s | 0.4 s | 0.2 s |
| Iron | 0.9 s | 0.35 s | 0.2 s |
| Diamond | 0.7 s | 0.3 s | 0.2 s |
| Netherite | 0.6 s | 0.3 s | 0.15 s |
| Golden | 0.45 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
Properties
Blast resistance on Deepslate Bricks is 6, so an explosion nearby will usually take it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. The fastest tool for it is a pickaxe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
