Diorite Wall — Minecraft block

Overview

Diorite 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.

Diorite Wall is a stone-family block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Diorite Wall. Its hardness of 1.5 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 Diorite. You can also cut it from Diorite on a stonecutter. It is not used in any crafting recipe.

About the diorite set

How long it takes to break

Hardness 1.5 puts Diorite Wall at 7.5 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.25 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.

You are looking at 0.4 seconds on iron and 0.3 on diamond — the diamond step is where the time actually falls.

Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.

Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 2.5 times faster than the plain tool.

Properties

Diorite 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. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. The block is tagged for pickaxes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
