How to Make End Stone Bricks in Minecraft

Guide Java Bedrock

Quick answer: Put four end stone in a 2x2 square to craft four end stone bricks. A stonecutter also turns one end stone into one end stone bricks block. Mine them with any pickaxe, and do not assume they are dragon-proof like raw end stone.

What you need

Step by step

  1. Gather end stone and mine it with a pickaxe, or collect existing end stone bricks from an End city or End ship.
  2. For the crafting recipe, arrange four end stone in a 2x2 square in your inventory or crafting table.
  3. Take four end stone bricks. The conversion keeps the same number of blocks.
  4. For smaller quantities, put one end stone in a stonecutter and select end stone bricks.
  5. Put the bricks in the stonecutter to make stairs, walls or two slabs per block.
  6. Use a pickaxe when changing your build. Keep raw end stone where resistance to the ender dragon matters: the dragon can destroy the brick variant.

Java vs Bedrock

The 2x2 recipe and stonecutter route work in Java and Bedrock. End stone bricks are decorative and can be destroyed by the ender dragon, unlike raw end stone. Any pickaxe collects the bricks; other tools give no drop.
