End Stone (sometimes called White Stone or Ender Stone) is a block that appears in the End and makes up most of the dimension. It appears as a white block with a pattern similar to cobblestone.

End Stone is notable for having a blast resistance of 45, 1.5 times that of ordinary stone and the highest of any block that can be destroyed by explosions. It also cannot be picked up by Endermen and cannot be destroyed by the Ender Dragon, and unlike Obsidian, it is easy to mine. These properties make it useful for buildings, but it is very hard to obtain in Survival mode (requiring a successful trip to the End). As of 1.3 it is slightly easier to obtain by dropping one Ender Chest in the End and another in the overworld.

[edit] History

End Stone was introduced in 1.9Pre3. It originally could only be successfully mined with a Pickaxe, dropping Cobblestone like normal Stone. However, mining End Stone with a pickaxe which has a Silk Touch Enchantment would yield an End Stone block with no nametag if you moused over it. This has been fixed as of 1.9Pre5. Prior to 1.9Pre6 there was no way to leave the End with this block in Survival Singleplayer Mode. As of version 1.0.0 you are able to leave the End with End Stone and it can be mined with any pickaxe.
