Rock

The entries on this annotated, structured list of rocks all are items and blocks in Minecraft that:
# bear a resemblance to real-world rocks,
# share a name with real-world rocks, or
# are fictitious but fulfill a similar role to rocks.
A few fictitious blocks are included in this list; namely, blackstone, deepslate, end stone, glowstone, netherrack, and redstone. Their actual nature is up to the player's imagination.

=== Regional rocks ===
These make up the majority of the ground where they're found.
* – columnar basalt found making up the basalt delta biomes of the Nether
* – the unbreakable layer of rock that limits mining below the deepslate layer; also sandwiches the Nether; unobtainable in Survival

;Ores
* – a source of coal, a rock used for torches and furnace fuel; found in greatest abundance near the surface

* – a source of gold, used to craft tools, weapons, armor, golden carrots, and golden apples; also valuable to piglins

* – the lapis lazuli from this ore is a rich blue rock useful in enchanting and as a dye; found close to and within the deepslate layer
* – a source of redstone dust, a material that can carry signals and activate moving parts; found in the deepest depths of the underground
Coal and Lapis Lazuli are rocks in their own right.

* – columnar basalt found in the bastion remnants of the Nether; It also generates around amethyst geodes in its smooth form
* – black rock that can found in bastion remnants in the Nether
* – generates in a variety of structures, including villages and jungle temples
* – generates in ruined portals and bastion remnants
* – a hard rock that can be found in ruined portals
* – generates in desert pyramids and in desert villages
* - a white rock found around amethyst geodes
