Deepslate cannot be crafted into anything using the Stonecutter or Crafting Table, while all variants of Deepslate can be crafted with Cobbled Deepslate. Using in crafting table also yields no possible recipes for Deepslate, rendering it tedious to break down a second time if silk touched. While the goal was to make Deepslate act similar to Stone, it has instead made standard Deepslate useless.
