Overview
Polished Andesite counts as a stone-family block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Polished Andesite has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 1.5 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
It needs at least a wooden pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A full stack holds 64.
It is crafted from Andesite. The stonecutter is the cheaper route: one Andesite gives one of these. Its crafting uses are Polished Andesite Slab and Polished Andesite Stairs.
