World Of Stone FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make the mod generate realistic stone layers instead of random blobs?
Open the mod's configuration file and set the NOISE option—this is the recommended setting that creates 3D layered strata as you dig deeper. The other options (BLOB and CHUNK) create different patterns if you prefer vanilla-style ore veins or single-stone-per-chunk generation.
Why do I see the same stone type everywhere instead of different layers?
Check your world generation config setting. If you're using CHUNK mode, each chunk generates mostly one stone type; switch to NOISE mode for realistic layered geology. Also make sure you're digging deep enough—different stone types appear at different depths.
Can I turn regular blocks into stalactites?
Yes, use the mimicBlocks configuration list to add any block you want to appear as stalactites and stalagmites. This works with unusual materials like wood, wool, glass, and slime, giving you creative decoration options.
Do ores look different in this mod?
Yes, ores change appearance to match the stone type they spawn inside, so iron ore in 
marble looks different than iron ore in 
limestone. The mod also adds special ore variants for the Nether, the End, and ores trapped in obsidian.

Every stone type includes a full set: stairs, slabs, walls, bricks, and pillars, giving you 24 different stone varieties with complete building options for each.
Do surface rocks change based on the biome?
Yes, surface rocks automatically grow moss or gather snow depending on the biome temperature, making your terrain look more realistic and climate-appropriate.
Can Mason villagers trade the new stone blocks?
Yes, the mod updates Mason villagers so they buy and sell the new stone blocks, making it easier to trade for materials you need.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The NOISE setting (recommended) uses 3D layered generation which is more intensive than vanilla; if you experience lag, try the BLOB or CHUNK config options for lighter world generation, or reduce your render distance.
How many new blocks does this mod add?
The mod adds over 1,800 new blocks total: 24 different stone types with full building sets each, plus over 260 types of stalactites and stalagmites.
Do I need to start a new world to see the stone layers?
Yes, the mod changes world generation, so you need to create a new world to see realistic geological layers; existing worlds will only show the new stones in newly generated chunks.
