Blackstone

Blackstone is a dark-colored block in Minecraft that functions similarly to cobblestone or polished deepslate. It is found exclusively in the Nether, primarily generated in the basalt deltas biome and also in bastion remnants. Blackstone can be mined with any pickaxe, and it drops nothing if mined without a pickaxe. It can be used to craft stone tools, brewing stands, and furnaces, and can also be used to repair stone tools on an anvil. Blackstone serves as a substitute for cobblestone in many crafting recipes and can be processed into several variants such as polished blackstone and polished blackstone bricks, used for construction and decoration. Blackstone is also associated with the Piglin culture, obtainable through trading with them and commonly found in bastion remnants, which are largely constructed from blackstone and its variants.
