{{BlockSprite|granite}} '''Granite''' is a [[block]] of igneous [[rock]], found in [[ore (feature)|large pockets]] in the ground.

{{BlockSprite|polished-granite}} '''Polished granite''' is a processed, decorative form of granite.

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
{{see also|Ore (feature)}}

Granite can generate in [[the Overworld]] in the form of [[ore (feature)|ores]]. 

{{IN|Bedrock}}, granite attempts to generate in two batches in all biomes in the Overworld. The first batch generate 2 times per chunk in ores of size 0-864, from elevations 0 to 60. The second batch has 1⁄6 chance to generate ores of size 0-864, from elevation 64 to 128. {{IN|BE}}, granite can replace stone, andesite, diorite, polished andesite‌, polished diorite‌, polished granite‌. {{IN|JE}}, granite can replace stone, andesite, diorite, tuff, and deepslate.

In addition, granite generates as part of large copper [[ore veins]], [[coral reef]]s{{only|be}}, and in [[desert]] [[village]] armorer houses. Polished granite generates in many [[ocean ruin]] variants.

=== Breaking ===
Granite can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

}}

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level stone mason [[villager]]s have a {{frac|2|7}} chance to sell 4 polished granite for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.

== Usage ==
Granite is currently used only for decoration. It has the same [[TNT|blast resistance]] as stone, meaning it can be used as a substitute for stone when building.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level stone mason villagers have {{frac|2|7}} of a chance to buy 16 granite for an emerald.

=== Note Blocks ===
Granite and polished granite can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.

== Issues ==
{{issue list|Granite|Polished Granite}}

== Trivia ==
* {{w|Granite}} rock comes from underground {{w|magma chamber}}s that turned cold. It's often pinkish in color because of its {{w|alkali feldspar}} minerals.
** {{w|Diorite}} is another magma chamber rock, but it has less {{w|quartz}} in it than granite. This is in accordance with granite's crafting recipe in ''Minecraft'', which consists of nether quartz with diorite.
