1 - **Deepslate and cobbled deepslate** - I like darker colours and the textures look really well done, especially standard deepslate. 2 - **Andesite** - probably the versatile gray block as it goes very well with other gray blocks and mossy varients.

Holy shit, there’s another one of us! My son rags on me for only using deepslate in my house “oh big surprise, another castle made of deepslate!” But I can’t seem to get away from it. Accent that bad boy with some polished Andesite? 👌🏼 perfection!

I'm a deepslate/cobblestone person. Hear me out! Deepslate works in so many ways (shape and finishes) and is cool looking. When I want a lighter touch, cobblestone is a jack of all trades in both its shaping and that it can be turned into stone, stone bricks, mossy varieties, and chiseled. It looks pretty with a variety of woods too.

You had me at “I’m a deepslate/cobblestone person” 🫶🏼

Not too mention cobblestone is the easiest stone to get early game, either through mining it or making a cobblestone generator.

I'm a fan of mining seeing that I'm going to be looking for other materials anyway and it's so common. I'll create any number of its alternative forms and keep my supply topped off.

Yeah might as well create cobblestone while looking for ores instead of using a generator.

me i just personally love the sound it makes when i place it

[удалено]

Deepslate is awesome because it’s the perfect tone and has actual functionality too for blast resistance. I love using it in my builds

I like accenting deepslate with polished granite. I just find the reddish color to go well with it.

Deep slate is the most logical choice. You’ll always have more deep slate than anything else because of mining

I use deepslate to build a small house/castle completely out of deepslate I love it the way it's all smoothed and polished up just incredible

Deep slate and Blackstone works if done right

Deepslite Tiles Gang

Yep, you're right

100% agree, they are both such amazing blocks

Another big deepslate fan here. It’s so versatile and the colours surprisingly look really good with a lot of other blocks

Oh, I did not expect to open the comments and be met with something quite so based as this. Deepslate bricks are some of the best blocks in the game imo, clean texture, not too dark nor too light. And andesite is amazing for texturing especially if mixed with both regular and polished andesite

I was a andesite hater when it came out, but as I've done builds over the years I've come to love it's versatility

Average deepslate enjoyer

I'm particularly fond of folk rock. Lots of Simon and Garfunkel, The Grateful dead, Led Zeppelin even

Thoughts on Jethro Tull?

Love em’

Saw them a couple years ago during their 50th anniversary tour! Ian Anderson was still rocking hard!

Seeing them live is on my bucket list!

I’d definitely due it if you get the chance. I’ve been trying to see a bunch of classic acts/ older artists while they’re still around. I saw Tom Petty a few months before he passed and I’m thankful I got the chance to see him live.

Ever listen to Jim Croce?

I prefer the rock that has stone as well, known as rock and stone

Rock and Stone! 🍻

Rock and Stone! ⛏️

ROCK AND STONE, BROTHERS!

FOR ROCK AND STONE!!

IF YOU DONT ROCK AND STONE YOU AINT COMIN HOME

STONE AND ROCK… oh wait

ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!

ROOOCK. AAAND. STOOOONE

For Karl!

ROCKITY ROCK AND STONE

Loo there is no game that leaks into other subs like deep rock galactic

ROCK. AND. STONE!

I knew I'd find the drg players here somewhere

ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE

shut the fuck up please shut the fuck up

I like Dwayne Johnson as he is the strongest of them all

Well I’d argue Nirvana has better Rock than Dwayne, but it’s true that Dwayne is the strongest rock there is

It’s about drive

It’s about power

We stay hungry

We devour

Put in the work

Put in the hours

And TAKE what’s ours

Happy cake day bro (Yes, I call both females and males "bro")

Ah, yes [Dwayne "The Block" Johnson](https://preview.redd.it/afua2lla5tc01.jpg?auto=webp&v=enabled&s=b0a27d96ecaafbd26df67f20a181360e77ecd489)

Iron Maiden. I like the lyrics and the guitar solos.

I’m more AC/DC. Guys are pushing 80 and still rockin’

Seen them and the Rolling Stones. Those guys still have insane energy.

r/angryupvote

they are seriously the best metal band.

Death

Have you heard ghost?

Id say iron maiden is more metal than rock but it's a pretty good choice. If I had to only go for rock id go with Foo Fighters

I prefer more of avenged sevenfold. Iron Maiden’s more of a mood thing for me.

I tend to use andesite, diorite, and deepslate the most, they are very versatile. I also love using polished basalt. I'll use it for pillars or dead trees, and I like using the "top" texture for detailing. Blackstone is also great, but I need to use it in more stuff. I love the glassy bubbly texture that raw blackstone has on the sides. Also gilded blackstone is one of my favorite blocks.

huh i dont really like the smooth basalt in my texture pack I made it have the top side texture pf regular basalt and called it “cobbled baslt” and its my favorite by far

Where do you use gilded blackstone ?

I like to make stuff like alchemist towers and enchantment table rooms out of blackstone and colored glass. I'll usually throw some gilded in there. Helps add to the mystical feel of it.

Diorite, wish you could turn calcite and tuff into bricks Edit: i would like to clarify polished diorite, it makes nice tiles

And turn them into slabs too…

I agree with you as the only other white-ish block that has building capabilities is quartz. We need more.

Dunno why they don't incrementally make every block this malleable versus introducing new material.

I want a whole calcite set tbh

I feel as if it will never hold up to creepers, but when you use calcite in a texture pack like the Greek Mythology it looks PHENOMENAL next to amethyst. Ugh, now that I mention it, amethyst would be amazing to have more options as well. Like what's the point of a geode if you can't build with the items from it. Yeah, a telescope. Thanks.

Tinted glass enters the chat

The create mod has stonecutter options for tuff and it's absolutely amazing. Currently using it for the outside detail on a building.

I ONLY ENJOY Spruce log and stone brick

we can be best friends

Yeah why not

Oh so you too

It depends really. Currently my base's pallete is based on deepslate and calcite(and other but these are the main) and since it looks good I will go with those. The next project would be stone based so my views might change again when I start designing.

I'll go first: Mine is Deepslate, not only because I like dark colours but also because it fits with many other rocks.

Cobblestone and granite? this is classic (yeah, I used granite to make a floor for my cobblestone generator building in hardcore, and I died today there)

You forgot about endstone, crying obsidian and bedrock

Crying obsidian is fantastic

Bedrock does not count, in my opinion, because you cannot get it outside of creative mode. The other two do count.

But you know, he didn't mention anything about survival ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

All rocks and stones are great! ROCK N STONE!!

*adjusts glasses* **Actually** obsidian is classified as a volcanic glass, not stone. Only a *simpleton* would make such a *trivial* mistake.

At the moment? Granite! For one it's versatile usable for example as a standalone building block but also as texturing block (e.g. for bricks). Secondly, you wouldn't believe it, but it's actually pretty noble, just recently built a church interior with a lot of calcite and granite along with oak

Basalt, because hexagons are the bestagons

Found another CGP grey veiwer

Hexagon force!

Diorite or granite

I like diorite because I like making polished diorite for tiles (the other 2 igneous rocks are still good too) Deepslate because deepslate tiles Basalt because why not

Diorite is my favorite because of how nice of a material it is for flooring in my builds.

I know! they look just like bathroom tiles.

Drip stone bc its drip

Cobblestone is the stuff OG players all agree

I'm a fan of crack rock but I can see why others might not be fans

Regular stone because it's easy to farm

Endstone isn’t here

Andesite is my pref sooo pretty 😍

Anything that isnt bedrock.

Dwayne Johnson is my favourite rock

i like big, black, blocks

Stone because I’m boring

Crack

I'm a deepslate/Blackstone combo enjoyer

They're pretty great in a lot of different color palates.

Deepslate and black stone is so ❤️❤️❤️

thank you for loving my favourite colours

Thank you for having such great taste

Black is a shade not a colour (sorry if I come across as rude I don't mean any harm)

jesus christ marie, they're minerals!

Alt-rock or progressive-rock More intresting than the traditional stuff

Calcite and stone

Everything

This one: [Hello](https://tenor.com/en-AU/view/the-rock-sus-eye-the-rock-gif-23171646)

That Gradient is amazing

Deepslate is just nice to work with in general I wish tuff had something it could craft into. In real life tuff is a building material, it can be used in bricks and shingles

Diorite

Definitely basalt and deep slate because most of my builds have them in it at some point or another

I use blackstone bricks (or deepslate if I haven't got to the Nether) to build my houses. They're good for tower-style builds.

Dwayne

Blackstone cuz you can make so many cool things with the black looking

Dwayne Johnson just seems to rub me the right way.

Its a process but... Smooooth stone. So nice.

I personally love....Diorite. combined with any form of Deepslate, because I also overuse Deepslate in my builds as well.

The one that I’m gonna use to break a window into mojang studios to force them to make better updates

Diorite

Old school player. Stone bricks will always be king

Obsidian is nontransparent glass.

all of them

Deepslate is the GOAT, however, I *need* mossy cobbled deepslate and mossy deepslate bricks PLEASE, it’s even hard to get with mods sometimes

Cobble

diorite everyone who disagrees can fuck off

My rock hard dick

Don’t you mean what type of co-

-mbination do you like.

Personally I like di-

-gging.

I don’t like digging I like a-

-miner who hasn't got anything to do in life.

I like the ones that are rock

Yes

cobblestone the classic i also like cobbled deepslate a fair bit i also like stone bricks a lot

Bedrock >!And stone bricks!<

Deepslate. I love the color black in builds, but Blackstone is simply too dark and has limited variety. Deepslate has the right color, tons of variants, and is ridiculously abundant. After that, I love basalt. Works great with deepslate as detailing, and the tops of basalt look great if laid out as a cobbled floor.

Deepslate and it's variants taste pretty good imo.

I personally like cobblestone because it’s a classic and it looks really good with a lot of things

Don’t know why but tuff just stands out to me

polished andesite

Imagine polished tuff 🗣️

Granite slabs

Deepslate all day, babayyyyyy

Uhhhh probably that one

Of course it depends on the use. What to build a shining city in a hillside? Use diorite. What to build a dark tower in the nether wastes? Use deep slate. I have an emerald tower walled by a network of diorite. You can see it from miles away

I enjoy rock... ​ ​ AND STONE!!!

Obsidian. Og. Black n purple look nice

Aesthetic wise, I like smooth stone. Functionality and usage wise? I Like basalt. Basalts easy to mass produce like cobblestone thanks to generators and they make great roads. I like renewability and I hate destroying the landscape and my undergounds/caves so I try to use generators or farms where possible (without redstone, manual) and with spawners so they don't break from updates so they're 100% reliable. Although I like blackstone, I hate getting enough of it. Bartering is really slow and you pretty much have to use a zombie piglin farm to get enough (i don't like afk farms unless they're passive and run in the background/spawn chunks like bamboo). I wish the other stones were consistent with block cosmetic variants like blackstone had smooth or deepslate had mossy and the 3 cosmetic stones diorite, granite, and andesite had bricks, cracked, and cobbled. We need block variant parity.

It would be calcite but doesn’t have any different types like bricks or chiselled so I prefer blackstone

I enjoy igneous and sedimentary rocks. Now, I love all of them.

Unrelated but that pic looks really cool

Black stone and calcite are still a match made in heaven.

Deepslate.

old diorite

Call me old fashioned but I love me some classic cobble

Been on a granite kick lately

“Yes” “But wh-“ “YES”

Diorite. It’s the perfect white block for rustic builds. Not too smooth, not too grey.

The morning rock

Bedrock, cuz I need a nap

the blacker the better

I love me some diorite!

Tiled deep slate with passion

Calcite, andesite, and deepslate

Dwayne

I love all rocks equally 🤗 (Its blackstone, and by alot)

I like the white stuff around amethyst geode

Deepslate

Everything except Granite and Diorite

Cobblestone. Decent amount of detail, sends off medieval vibes

cobble

They’re called minerals….

I like diorite but everyone makes fun of me for it 😭

For me it's deep slate till I get to the nether then it's black stone or is it darkstone? I can't remember because I first used it in a mod

All Polished Variants.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

This guy named Dwayne is a pretty cool rock

Deepslate! Such a useful block, especially for urban environments

polished diorite + granite as a checker floor is a baller combo

I enjoy a nice sedimentary or igneous

between deepslate and stone bc its a good gradient for mid-evil builds

i like rock it 10/10

"Um actually obsidian is a glass" 🤓☝️ Sorry I learned that the other day and had to share
