Tuff In Minecraft 1.7

Tuff

Minecraft has introduced a new type of stone called Tuff that is formed from volcanic ash in real life. It is a light grey colored block that can be found while digging under Y=16 in the game.

Tuff is a strong block that has a blast resistance value of 6 and a hardness value of 1.5.

What Is Tuff Used For?

In terms of practical uses, there isn't much you can do with this new block.

Tuff is mostly used for decorative purposes in Minecraft. So you can add it to a wall and use it for any particular decoration project.

It is an ornamental rock that can replace Stone, Diorite, Andesite, Granite, and Deepslate. Also, any ore that generates in Tuff becomes its Deepslate variety.

Where To Find Tuff In Minecraft?

You can find Tuff in the Overworld in the form of underground blobs between Y=0 and Y=16.

Tuff attempts to generate 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-160, from elevations 0 to 16, in all biomes. ‌In the upcoming Java Edition 1.18‌, Tuff blocks will be able to generate 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-862, from elevations -63 to 16, in all biomes.

You can mine Tuff by using a pickaxe. Using anything else to mine Tuff will not yield anything and delete the block instead.
