Rock

''This page refers to rocks that spawn in the world. For the item, see Stones.''

Rocks are objects that spawn in the world when it is created. When broken using a stick or a pickaxe, they drop stones. Rocks can also drop iron ore or gold ore, which is visible when looking at the object.

Initial
Initially, rocks will be spawned with a roughly even distribution across the world, with a higher concentration on the island that is completely devoid of trees. Rocks are fairly rare, and rocks with ores in them are even more rare.

Respawning
Every 15 minutes during world regeneration, the rocks broken by the player are replaced in the world (though the replacement rocks can be spawned in any valid location, not necessarily the location they were before being mined). This makes stone, iron, and gold renewable resources.
