Where to find Andesite in Minecraft?
Andesite generates within the Overworld in terrain blobs. Andesite will generate differently in Java and Bedrock Edition Minecraft. In Java Edition Minecraft, andesite will attempt to generate twice per chunk at level zero or above in blobs of size 0-862. Andesite generation can replace stone, diorite, granite, tuff, and deepslate.
In the Bedrock Edition, andesite will attempt to generate in two batches, with the first batch generating 2 times per chunk from Y levels 0 to 60 in all biomes in blobs of size 0-862. The second batch will have a 1⁄6 chance to generate blobs of size 0-862, from Y levels 64 to 128.
When it is generated, it can replace stone, diorite, and granite.
In both versions of the game, andesite will generate in blobs of size 0-862 and will replace stone, diorite, and granite. The biome does not affect andesite generation. Andesite requires a pickaxe to be obtained or it can be crafted with diorite and cobblestone.
What can Andesite do in Minecraft?
Andesite is a purely decorative block that can be crafted into polished andesite (another decorative block). Andesite is commonly used as a replacement for stone, since it has the same blast resistance. It can also be used in trading, as Journeyman-level stone mason villagers have a 2⁄7 chance to buy 16 andesite for an emerald.
Conclusion
Andesite, while being purely decorative, is a fun replacement for stone in some builds. Since it is also pretty common, andesite can be used by players early in the game.
