Chiseled Stone Bricks
Chiseled Stone Bricks feature an ornate carved relief — a decorative variant for friezes, medallions, and architectural detailing.
Description
The block generates naturally in jungle temples, ocean ruins, and trial chambers, where it marks ceremonial elements like altars, treasure plinths, and door surrounds. Builders use it as a feature accent: a single chiseled block in the centre of a wall reads as a medallion or coat of arms, a row along the top of a wall reads as a frieze. Unlike its mossy and cracked siblings, the device has no slab, stair, or wall variants — it functions purely as an ornamental block, and its visual weight makes a single piece more impactful than a row of plain bricks.

-
1
Get stone bricks

-
4
Or use a stonecutter
Place stone bricks in a stonecutter and pick the chiseled variant for a one-to-one conversion with no waste.
Chiseled stone bricks need any pickaxe to drop when mined, and the family has no stair, slab, or wall variant — the block is purely decorative.
