HUSHSTONE
A Vanilla+ Expansion to Minecraft's Endgame Progression
Netherite is no longer the final step.
Hushstone expands Minecraft's survival progression with a new mineral hidden deep beneath the Overworld and a powerful equipment tier called Stillsteel.
Designed to feel like a natural extension of vanilla Minecraft, Hushstone adds new reasons to explore the Deep Dark, collect rare resources, and continue upgrading your equipment after obtaining Netherite.
No new dimensions, complicated machinery, or major gameplay overhauls. Just more Minecraft.
Discover Hushstone
Deep beneath the Overworld, a new ore waits to be discovered.
Hushstone Ore generates naturally in the Deep Dark, embedded within Deepslate at some of the lowest elevations in the world.
- Generates exclusively in the Deep Dark biome.
- Found between Y -64 and Y -40.
- Small veins containing 1–4 ore blocks.
- Diamond-like rarity within eligible terrain.
- Emits a subtle cyan light.
- Requires a Netherite Pickaxe to harvest.
- Supports Fortune and Silk Touch.
Finding Hushstone rewards players willing to venture into Minecraft's most dangerous underground environments.
Forge Stillsteel
Hushstone can be smelted into Hushstone Ingots, which are combined with Netherite Scrap to create Stillsteel Ingots.
Stillsteel is a powerful new material designed to surpass Netherite while maintaining Minecraft's familiar progression system.
Use a Smithing Table to upgrade your existing Netherite equipment into Stillsteel.
New Equipment
Hushstone introduces a complete Stillsteel equipment set:
Tools and Weapons
- Stillsteel Sword
- Stillsteel Pickaxe
- Stillsteel Axe
- Stillsteel Shovel
- Stillsteel Hoe
Armor
- Stillsteel Helmet
- Stillsteel Chestplate
- Stillsteel Leggings
- Stillsteel Boots
Stillsteel provides improved durability, mining efficiency, and equipment statistics while preserving the familiar gameplay of vanilla tools and armor.
Stillsteel Upgrade Templates
Stillsteel equipment requires a special Smithing Template found in Ancient City chests.
Collect the necessary materials, obtain the template, and upgrade your Netherite equipment through the standard Smithing Table.
Your existing equipment remains the foundation of the upgrade process.
Vanilla+ by Design
Hushstone is built around simplicity and compatibility.
The goal is to expand Minecraft's existing progression rather than replace it.
Explore. Mine. Smelt. Craft. Upgrade.
Your next adventure begins beneath the Deep Dark.
