Holystone is The Aether’s counterpart to regular stone. Alongside Aether Dirt, it is one of main blocks comprising the Aether’s floating islands.

Obtaining

Breaking

Holystone can be mined using any pickaxe; if mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Pickaxes of non-Aether origin (even netherite or golden, regardless of Efficiency level) mine Holystone at the same speed and are slower than an unenchanted Skyroot Pickaxe.

If the block has the double_drops state set to true, mining it with a Skyroot Pickaxe yields two blocks (unaffected by Fortune). The dropped blocks have double_drops set to false, meaning that placing one of them and mining it again with a Skyroot Pickaxe only yields one block.

Natural generation

Holystone is the most common block that generates as part of The Aether/The Aether’s floating island landscape, excluding a few top layers where Aether Dirt generates instead. Naturally generated Holystone has the double_drops state set to true, meaning that it yields two blocks when mined with a Skyroot Pickaxe.

Post-generation

Holystone can be generated similarly to vanilla basalt, with water used instead of lava, a Magma Block instead of Blue Ice, and Quicksoil instead of Soul Soil. A water source or flowing water that is above Quicksoil and adjacent to the Magma Block is replaced with Holystone. This Holystone is equivalent to an already mined one (double_drops block state is set to false) and only yields one block when mined with a Skyroot Pickaxe.

Usage

Being easy to acquire, Holystone can be used as a building block, but its hardness and blast resistance are inferior to Overworld stone, being more similar to Netherrack. Like the Nether’s Blackstone, Holystone doesn’t have a cobblestone variant and is directly used in crafting recipes, including some vanilla recipes as a replacement for Cobblestone or regular stone.

History

Missing: "Full history all the way back to Beta 1.7.3"

Before Aether Legacy, the crafting recipe that currently yields Holystone Walls was used to create Holystone Fences instead.

Renewable generation of Holystone using Water, Magma Blocks and Quicksoil was introduced in the 1.0.0-beta.5 build for 1.19.4.
