Template:For Template:Infobox block Diorite is a Minecraft:block of igneous rock, found in large pockets underground.
Obtaining
Breaking
Diorite can be mined using any Minecraft:pickaxe. If broken without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. Template:Breaking row
Natural generation
Template:See also Diorite can generate in the Minecraft:Overworld in the form of ore blobs.
Template:IN, diorite attempts to generate in two batches in all biomes in the Overworld. The first batch generates 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-864, from elevations 0 to 60. The second batch has Template:Frac chance to generate blobs of size 0-864, from elevation 64 to 128. Template:IN, diorite can replace stone, andesite, granite, polished andesite, polished diorite, and polished granite. Template:IN, diorite can replace stone, andesite, granite, tuff, and deepslate.
Diorite generates in weaponsmith houses, tannery houses, and mason houses in snowy villages.
Template:IN, diorite generates in coral reefs, replacing some Minecraft:blocks of Minecraft:coral crust.
Crafting
Usage
Diorite has the same blast resistance as Minecraft:stone, meaning it can be used as a substitute for stone when building.

Diorite can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Trivia
- In the real world, Template:W comes from underground Template:Ws that turned cold. Diorite usually has a salt & pepper appearance.
- Template:W is diorite's above-ground equivalent: The two rocks come from the same kind of Template:W, but andesite forms in Template:Ws. Its fast cooling is what makes it look smoother than diorite.
- Template:W is another magma chamber rock, but it's made of more quartz crystals. That is why in Minecraft, granite can be crafted by combining diorite and nether quartz.
- In the real world, diorite is an extremely hard rock and is difficult to carve and work with.
- In Story Mode, Reuben's grave on Episode 4 is made out of diorite and a new stair variant of it which cannot be found in Minecraft until the Village & Pillage update, which was announced roughly 3 years after Episode 4. It is unknown whether diorite slabs are present.
