Natural generation

Holystone makes up the majority of the Aether, along with Aether Dirt. It can be found under layers of grass and dirt in the Aether all the way to the bottom of islands, and also seen exposed at the sides of mountains and hills on islands.

Mossy Holystone is generated inside of Slider's Labyrinth dungeons, typically in tunnels of varying length made out of Holystone and Mossy Holystone that connect other chambers and rooms. When new chunks are generated in the Aether, some Holystone and/or Mossy Holystone may become ore.

In 1.10^[upcoming], Mossy Holystone now generates commonly in caves or cliffs and may be part of Mysterious Henges.
