Diorite is a block of igneous rock, found in large pockets in the ground.

Polished diorite is the polished version of diorite.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Diorite can generate in the Overworld in the form of blobs. Diorite attempts to generate 10 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-160, from elevations 0 to 79, in all biomes. ‌In Java Edition 1.17[upcoming], diorite only attempts to generate twice, however, the blobs are size 0-862. Diorite can replace stone, granite, andesite, tuff, and deepslate.

Diorite generates in weaponsmith houses, tannery houses, and mason houses in snowy tundra villages.

In Bedrock Edition, diorite generates in coral reefs, replacing some blocks of coral crust.

Polished diorite also generate in warm underwater ruins.

Breaking

Diorite can be mined using any pickaxe. If broken without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Usage

Diorite is currently used only for decoration. It has the same blast resistance as stone, meaning it can be used as a substitute for stone when building.

Trivia

  • Geologically, diorite is an intrusive igneous rock, made entirely of tiny crystals – mainly white feldspar with black hornblende. Intrusive rocks like diorite cool from underground magma over a long time, letting the crystals grow large and visible to the naked eye. Diorite usually has a salt & pepper appearance.
    • Finding exposed diorite at the surface of a Minecraft world implies the surface had to be much higher there for the rock to have cooled underground.
    • Andesite is diorite's extrusive equivalent: They are made of the same minerals, but andesite rocks are formed from aboveground lava flows instead of underground magma pockets.
    • Granite is like diorite, but with more quartz in it. That's why crafting diorite blocks with Nether quartz yields granite blocks.
    • Diorite is an extremely hard rock and is difficult to carve and work with.
  • In Minecraft: 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.
