Overview
Diorite counts as a stone-family block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Diorite 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 Cobblestone and Nether Quartz. Its main value is as a crafting ingredient: 8 recipes need it, Andesite, Diorite Slab, Diorite Stairs and 5 more among them.
