Infested Mossy Stone Bricks — Minecraft block

Overview

Infested Mossy Stone Bricks is a stone-family block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. Hardness 0.75 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.

How long it takes to break

At a hardness of 0.75, Infested Mossy Stone Bricks takes 1.2 seconds to punch out and 0.15 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.

You are looking at 0.2 seconds on iron and 0.15 on diamond — the diamond step is where the time actually falls.

There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.

Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 3 times faster than an unenchanted one.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V

Wooden	0.6 s	0.1 s	instant
Stone	0.3 s	0.1 s	instant
Iron	0.2 s	0.1 s	instant
Diamond	0.15 s	0.1 s	instant
Netherite	0.15 s	0.1 s	instant

Properties

Blast resistance on Infested Mossy Stone Bricks is 0.75, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It stops light entirely and gives off no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. A pickaxe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for.
