Is Bedrock the hardest rock?
You’ve probably noticed, if you’ve ever dug to the bottom of the world, that bedrock is indestructible in survival mode. Real-world bedrock is hard, but absolutely breakable – and most large buildings are anchored into the bedrock with structures called “foundations”.
What is the hardness of bedrock?

What rock is the softest?
The name for talc, a sheer white mineral, is derived from the Greek word talq, which means “pure.” It is the softest rock on earth.
What is the hardest rock?
Diamond
Diamond is the hardest known mineral, Mohs’ 10.
Why is a diamond so hard?
The reason diamond is so hard has to do with the arrangements of carbon atoms in its crystalline form, which has a very high packing factor. Bedrock can be made from many different substances, with a hardness anywhere from 1 to 9.
What is the hardness of diamond in the bedrock?
Diamond has directional hardness ( hardness varies with the direction concerned) bedrock is a bit broad but I guess you can take it as massive igneous rock. These are many of many small crystals. They can be scratched by diamond, hence making diamond harder. This is again due to the structure of the rock.
Are there any stones stronger than a diamond?
Nothing is close to the hardness of diamond, which means the ability to scratch. Now other stones can be tougher than diamond, which means tougher to break. For instance Jade is tougher (harder to break) than diamond if you were to smash it with a sledgehammer.
What is the hardest type of rock on Earth?
SOMETHING has to be THE hardest. Bedrock in the real world rather than in computer games is simply the rock underlying the deepest layers of loose stone and soil. It may be very hard, or relatively soft, depending on the specific location.
