Issues

• If a loose rock is broken via explosion, it drops an invisible loose rock item. Placing this item simply spawns a new loose rock on the ground.

Trivia

• Loose rocks share the same texture as the stone of the top layer beneath them.
• Loose rocks have a chance of spawning a small piece of ore instead of a rock if there is an ore vein nearby.
