Mossy Cobblestone

Mossy cobblestone is a variant of cobblestone with moss on it. It is mainly used for crafting or as building block.

Obtaining[]

Mossy cobblestone can be mined using a pickaxe, in which case it drops itself. If mined without a pickaxe, then the mining is slower and it drops nothing.
