Deepslate bricks are a solid building block you can craft from polished deepslate. They came out with the Caves & Cliffs update and work great for decorating deepslate structures or creating a modern underground base aesthetic.
What You Need to Craft Deepslate Bricks
You’ll need 4 polished deepslate to make a batch of deepslate bricks. That’s it. You get 4 deepslate bricks from one crafting recipe, so the ratio is 1:1.
Getting Polished Deepslate
Polished deepslate comes from crafting regular deepslate blocks. You need 4 deepslate in a 2×2 square in your crafting table to make 4 polished deepslate. Deepslate spawns naturally in the deep underground, usually below Y level 0.
How to Craft Deepslate Bricks
Step 1: Open Your Crafting Table
Place down a crafting table and interact with it to open the 3×3 crafting grid.
Step 2: Add the Materials
Place your 4 polished deepslate blocks in a 2×2 square pattern. Put one in the top-left, one in the top-middle, one in the middle-left, and one in the middle-middle of the crafting grid. The exact pattern matters.
Step 3: Grab Your Bricks
You’ll see 4 deepslate bricks appear in the output slot. Click them to pick them up and move them to your inventory.
Creative Mode Location
If you’re in Creative Mode, you can find deepslate bricks in the Building Blocks tab of the creative inventory. They’re available in Minecraft Java Edition versions 1.17 through 1.19.4.
Command to Get Deepslate Bricks

What to Build with Deepslate Bricks
Deepslate bricks are just one part of the deepslate building family. You can also craft and use:
- Cracked deepslate bricks (smelt them in a furnace)
- Deepslate brick stairs
- Deepslate brick slabs
- Deepslate brick walls
- Deepslate tiles
They all use deepslate bricks as a base material, so once you’ve got a stack of bricks, you can mix and match to build detailed underground structures with varied textures.
