Overview
Infested Deepslate is one of the 4 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. Deepslate is the same shape in a different material.
Infested Deepslate is a stone-family block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Its hardness of 1.5 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine. It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.75 blast resistance).
A full stack holds 64. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the deepslate set
How long it takes to break
Infested Deepslate sits at hardness 1.5: 2.3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.25 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron manages 0.4 seconds and diamond 0.3, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 2.5 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 2.3 s | 2.3 s | 2.3 s |
| Wooden | 1.2 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.6 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.4 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.3 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.2 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
With 0.75 blast resistance Infested Deepslate goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces 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.
