== Additions ==
=== Blocks ===
'''[[Minecraft:Deepslate]]'''
* Currently only generated in blobs below y=16.
* Has a hardness value greater than that of [[Minecraft:stone]] but can be mined with any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]].
* Drops [[Minecraft:cobbled deepslate]] when mined.
* Can be obtained only with a [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]] pickaxe.
* There are 19 variants in total.

'''[[Minecraft:Cobbled Deepslate]]'''
* Drops from [[Minecraft:deepslate]] when mined with a pickaxe without [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]].
* Can't be used interchangeably with [[Minecraft:cobblestone]] and [[Minecraft:blackstone]] in crafting recipes of basic tools, furnaces and brewing stands.<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-123669}}</ref>
* Can be crafted into respective stairs, slabs and walls, [[Minecraft:polished deepslate]], [[Minecraft:chiseled deepslate]], [[Minecraft:deepslate bricks]] and [[Minecraft:deepslate tiles]], which can be used to craft their respective stairs, slabs, and walls (excluding chiseled deepslate).
** Deepslate bricks and deepslate tiles can also be smelted onto their cracked variants.
* Can now be smelted back into deepslate.

'''[[Minecraft:Deepslate ore]]s'''
* Added deepslate variants of all ores, including iron, gold, copper, coal, diamond, redstone, emerald, and lapis lazuli.
** Deepslate ore variants for [[Minecraft:Copper Ore|copper]], [[Minecraft:Emerald Ore|emerald]], and [[Minecraft:Coal Ore|coal ore]] do not generate by default.
* Takes twice as long to mine as normal ores.
* Has the texture of [[Minecraft:deepslate]] replacing the normal stone texture.
* Takes place of ores that generate in deepslate.
* Can be used in blasting and smelting recipes like normal ores.

'''[[Minecraft:Oxidized Copper]] and [[Minecraft:Oxidized Cut Copper]]'''
* Can now be waxed.

=== Mobs ===
'''[[Minecraft:Axolotl]]'''
* Axolotls will spawn underground, in water.
* Holding a bucket of tropical fish will cause nearby axolotls to follow the player on both land and water.
** Axolotls cannot be tamed but they can be bred by feeding them buckets of tropical fish.
* Axolotls will attack fish, squid, drowned, and guardians.
* Axolotls come in a variety of colors, all with an equal chance of spawning except for blue.
** Blue axolotls have a small chance of spawning as a mutation when breeding 2 axolotls.
* Axolotls can survive on dry land for a few minutes. After that they will start to dry out and take continuous damage until rehydrated.
* When taking damage, there is a chance that the axolotl will play dead. While playing dead, the axolotl will regenerate health and mobs will be unable to target the axolotl.
* When a player kills a mob that the axolotl was attacking, they are rewarded with the regeneration effect, and their mining fatigue is removed if they have it.
* Axolotls can be picked up with buckets, like fish.

== Changes ==
=== World generation ===
'''[[Minecraft:Cave]]s'''
* Deepslate is generated in blobs below y = 16.

'''[[Minecraft:Ore]]s'''
* Ore is generated as normal, when the ore is generated where Deepslate has been generated, [[Minecraft:deepslate ore]] is generated instead.

=== Technical ===
