Data history

Java Edition
1.814w02aThe newly-implemented granite, andesite and diorite, as well as the polished versions for each, use stone's ID and are distinguished using metadata.
14w06aStone now uses the newly-implemented model json file models/block/cube.json; previously the geometry was defined in the game code itself.
14w10aStone with numerical metadata variants 7 through 15, which are inaccessible through normal gameplay, now have no model rather than appearing identical to stone.
14w25aStone and its variants are now defined via block states rather than by numerical metadata. Prior to this version, the numerical metadata variants of stone were as follows:
