Overview
Infested Cobblestone is one of the 3 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. Cobblestone is the same shape in a different material.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Infested Cobblestone is a stone-family block. Hardness 1 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed. No specific tool is required to collect it.
With a blast resistance of only 0.75 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the cobblestone set
How long it takes to break
Infested Cobblestone sits at hardness 1: 1.5 seconds per block with your fists, 0.2 with the correct netherite tool.
You are looking at 0.25 seconds on iron and 0.2 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
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 | 1.5 s | 1.5 s | 1.5 s |
| Wooden | 0.75 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.4 s | 0.15 s | instant |
| Iron | 0.25 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Diamond | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Netherite | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Golden | 0.15 s | 0.1 s | instant |
Properties
Infested Cobblestone has a blast resistance of 0.75, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal 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.
