Overview
Minecraft classifies End Stone as an End block. There is no way to craft it; you have to find it and mine it. Its hardness of 3 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.
Its main value is as a crafting ingredient: 5 recipes need it, End Stone Bricks, Eye Armor Trim, End Stone Brick Slab and 2 more among them.
About the end stone set
How long it takes to break
End Stone has a hardness of 3. By hand that is 15 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.5 seconds.
You are looking at 0.75 seconds on iron and 0.6 on diamond — the iron 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.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3.3 times the unenchanted rate.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 15 s | 15 s | 15 s |
| Wooden | 2.3 s | 0.4 s | 0.2 s |
| Stone | 1.2 s | 0.35 s | 0.15 s |
| Iron | 0.75 s | 0.3 s | 0.15 s |
| Diamond | 0.6 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Netherite | 0.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Golden | 0.4 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
Properties
Blast resistance on End Stone is 9, 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. It renews, so a single world will never run out. 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.
