Block 02: Stone

  You walk into a cavern....  What's all around you? Stone!!!!  Stone is today's topic! Stone is the second block found in the creative inventory.

  Stone is the second most common block around. Air is the first.  When mined with a pick-axe stone will drop cobblestone. Cobblestone can be put in a furnace and cooked to make stone.  Using a silk touch (enchantment) pick-axe on stone will make it drop stone.  It can be used to make buttons, pressure plates, stone slabs, and stone bricks. Stone is a useful material.

   Stone is good for beauty, to make red-stone gadgets, and is strong against creeper blasts. That is why many people use it for buildings.  So the next time you walk in to a cavern, don't complain.  There are many uses to this simple element.
