Does water count? I like water.

If not, probably smoothstone.

Someone agrees with me? I love cobble buildings, that being said, i usually have a texture pack taht makes it look a tiny bit better. But still, it is cobble. It is amazing

Oh that's less than I was expecting with the way it gets hyped up. 620 diamond blocks, now that would be impressive. But I've mined like 500 ore and I've been here less than a month.

Drox showed me his Diamond Vault the other day... a 6*6 room packed 4 deep with Diamond Blocks and a large amount of Gold.

very immpressive it was too.

however my favourite block is Magma/Lava or more recently Netherrack due to the fun i can cause with it.

I like the rustic look of Cobblestone. Great for making castles.

It also doesn't burn. That's always a plus.

I've always been partial to stone slabs, personally.

If I could make everything out of them, I would =)
