Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

Tuff drops as an item if mined by any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]
A tuff blob.
See also: Ore (feature)

Tuff can generate in the Overworld in the form of ore blobs. Tuff attempts to generate 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-864, from elevations -64 to 0, in all biomes. Tuff can replace stone, andesite, diorite, granite, and deepslate. Any ore that generates in tuff becomes its deepslate variety.

Additionally, tuff can generate in large ore veins that consist of iron ore and blocks of raw iron below Y=0.

[edit | edit source]
Java Edition
1.1720w45a Added tuff.
Tuff generates as part of amethyst geodes.
1.1721w08aTuff no longer generates as part of amethyst geodes and instead generates in patches below Y=0.
21w11aOres that spawn in tuff now convert to their deepslate variant.
21w15aTuff blobs now also generate between Y=0 and Y=16.
Due to Caves and Cliffs being split into two parts, tuff now generates only between Y=0 and Y=16. because the world generation has been reverted and moved to the Caves & Cliffs Prototype Data Pack.
21w16aIf the prototype data pack is applied to a world, tuff can now generate as part of iron ore veins below Y=0.
1.18Experimental Snapshot 1All previous changes to tuff generation from the prototype data pack have now been implemented into the base game.
1.20.3
Experiment
Update 1.21		23w43aTuff slabs, stairs, and walls have been added behind the "Update 1.21" experimental data pack.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]
  • In real life, tuff is a strong type of igneous rock which forms from compressed ash resulting from volcanic eruptions, which sees extensive use in Armenian architecture. Tuff in Minecraft is somewhat similar, with the texture representing that of a rough, uneven surface which appears to be the result of volcanic ash formation.
