'''Andesite''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] of igneous [[Minecraft:rock]], most often found in [[Minecraft:ore (feature)|large pockets]] in the ground.<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
Andesite can be mined using any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.<br />
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Andesite|Pickaxe|Wood|link=none}}<br />
<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
{{see also|Ore (feature)}}<br />
Andesite can generate in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] in the form of [[Minecraft:ore (feature)|ore blob]]s. Andesite attempts to generate in two batches. The first batch generate 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-864, from elevations 0 to 60, in all biomes. The second batch has {{frac|1|6}} chance to generate blobs of size 0-864, from elevation 64 to 128. {{IN|BE}}, andesite can replace stone, diorite, granite, polished andesite, polished diorite and polished granite. {{IN|JE}}, andesite can replace stone, diorite, granite, tuff and deepslate.<br />
<br />
{{IN|Bedrock}}, andesite generates naturally in [[Minecraft:coral reef]]s, replacing some [[Minecraft:coral]] as part of coral crusts.<br />

<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Andesite has the same [[Minecraft:blast resistance]] as [[Minecraft:stone]], meaning it can be used as a substitute for stone when building.<br />

=== Trading ===<br />

<br />
=== Note blocks ===<br />
Andesite can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.<br />
<br />
=== Sulfur cube ===<br />
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}<br />
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb andesite, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* In the real world, {{w|andesite}} rock comes from above-ground {{w|lava flow}}s. Finding andesite underground means the world's surface used to be lower, and the lava flow was buried.<br />
** {{w|Diorite}} is andesite's below-ground equivalent: The two rocks come from the same kind of {{w|magma}}, but diorite rocks are formed from solidifying underground {{w|magma chamber}}s. The long, slow cool makes it look coarser than andesite.<br />
