2. Craft Deepslate into Polished Deepslate using a Crafting Table.
3. Craft Polished Deepslate into Deepslate Bricks.
4. Craft Deepslate Bricks into Deepslate Tiles.

What Can Players Do with Deepslate Tiles?

Deepslate Tiles are purely decorative, offering a textured, medieval aesthetic. Players commonly use them for:

• Building dark castles and fortresses – The detailed pattern makes them ideal for strongholds and ancient ruins.
• Flooring and walls – Their clean but chiseled texture works well for high-end gothic designs.
• Blending with other Deepslate variants – Complements Deepslate Bricks, Polished Deepslate, and Blackstone for intricate dungeon builds.
• Creating an ominous atmosphere – Their dark and patterned look makes them ideal for mysterious, eerie, or fantasy-style bases.
