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

Obtaining

Breaking

Mossy cobblestone can be mined using a pickaxe, in which case it drops itself. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Mossy cobblestone occurs naturally in monster rooms, jungle pyramids, pillager outposts, cold ocean ruins, and plains and taiga villages (as well as zombie villages). It can also be found in the form of forest rocks in the old growth pine taiga and old growth spruce taiga biomes, around zombie or baby zombie trial spawners in trial chambers, and sometimes as part of abandoned camps.​[upcoming: Third Drop 2026]
