Mossy Stone Bricks

Mossy stone bricks are a decorative block in Minecraft, a variant of stone bricks covered in moss. First introduced in Java Edition Beta 1.8, they are a key component of strongholds. Mossy stone bricks can be crafted by combining stone bricks with vines or moss blocks in a crafting table. Besides crafting, they also generate naturally in structures like strongholds, dungeons, temples, ocean ruins, and ruined portals. They are mainly used for decorative purposes, as they offer no functional advantages over other building materials. There are also variants like stairs and slabs, also mostly for decoration, which can generate in ruined portals. Additionally, mossy stone bricks have an infested variant where silverfish can hide, and can be mined using a pickaxe with silk touch.
