Diorite Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft diorite with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, diorite is one of the many building blocks that you can make. There are two ways to add diorite to your inventory. You can either craft this item with a crafting table or mine it with a pickaxe.

Diorite - Wiki Guide 1

Let’s explore how to add diorite to your inventory.

Where to find Diorite in Creative Mode

Here is where you can find diorite in the Creative Inventory menu:

  • Platform is the platform that applies.

Required Materials to make Diorite

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft diorite:

Diorite - Wiki Guide 6 2 Nether Quarzt
Diorite - Wiki Guide 7 2 Cobblestone

How to craft Diorite in Survival Mode

1. Open the Crafting Menu

First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3×3 crafting grid that looks like this:

Diorite - Wiki Guide 8

2. Add Items to make Diorite

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make diorite, place 2 cobblestone and 2 nether quartz in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making diorite, it is important that the cobblestone and nether quartz are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 cobblestone in the first box and 1 nether quartz in the second box. In the second row, there should be 1 nether quartz in the first box and 1 cobblestone in the second box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for diorite.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, 2 diorite will appear in the box to the right.

Congratulations, you have made diorite in Minecraft!

How to gather Diorite in Survival Mode

You can also add diorite to your inventory in Survival mode by mining diorite. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Block of Diorite

First, you need to find a block of diorite to dig up. You can find diorite anywhere, but we are going to look for diorite by digging into the side of a mountain.

This is what a block of diorite looks like:

2. Hold a Pickaxe

To mine diorite, you need to dig up the diorite with a pickaxe. These are the pickaxes that you can choose from:

Diorite - Wiki Guide 13 How to make a Diamond Pickaxe
Diorite - Wiki Guide 14 How to make a Golden Pickaxe
Diorite - Wiki Guide 15 How to make a Iron Pickaxe
Diorite - Wiki Guide 16 How to make a Stone Pickaxe
Diorite - Wiki Guide 17 How to make a Wooden Pickaxe
Diorite - Wiki Guide 18 How to make a Netherite Pickaxe

If you try to dig up the diorite with your hand or other tool (that is not a pickaxe), the small block of diorite will not appear. And you will not be able to add the diorite to your inventory.

In this example, we are going to use a diamond pickaxe to dig up the diorite.

3. Mine the Diorite

The game control to mine the diorite depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the block of diorite.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the block of diorite.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the block of diorite.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the block of diorite.

Diorite - Wiki Guide 19

You will need to continue to dig until the block breaks and a smaller block of diorite finally appears. The block of diorite will float on the ground.

4. Pick up the Diorite

Make sure you pick up the diorite before it disappears.

Diorite - Wiki Guide 20

Once you pick up the diorite, it will appear in your hotbar.
