Infested Stone Bricks

Overview

Infested Stone Bricks is one of the 5 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. Stone Bricks is the same shape in a different material.

Infested Stone Bricks counts as a stone-family block in Minecraft 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

Infested Stone Bricks has a hardness of 0.75. By hand that is 1.2 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.15 seconds.

An iron tool takes 0.2 seconds and a diamond one 0.15, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to diamond.

No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.

The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 3 times the unenchanted rate.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V
Hand	1.2 s	1.2 s	1.2 s
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
Golden	0.1 s	0.1 s	instant

Properties

Infested Stone Bricks resists blasts at 0.75, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light does not pass through it, and it emits none of its own. 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.
