Blackstone works the same as cobblestone (mostly), but it is clearly an igneous (volcanic) rock. It has always bugged me that lava creates cobblestone, which is almost definitely made of shale, a sedimentary (formed from smaller pieces of sediment) rock. I can prove it: Deepslate: Slate is a metamorphic (pressure and heat transformed) version of shale, shale looks almost the same as stone, shale comes in flat shapes, and an idea for prismarine's name was seashale. I think flowing water next to flowing lava should create blackstone, since it works just as well as cobblestone, and lava on water sources could also do this, but there is more space for creativity here, as not many use this method. Many don't like andesite or granite, so perhaps it could create andesite (the one they do like), as these three block variants are igneous rocks, composed of a lot of quartz: granite. More quartz: andesite. Pretty much just quartz: diorite.
I am a future volcanologist who loves Minecraft so much that I bought Bedrock, Pocket, and Java, and I love igneous rock. I also understand that people would dislike it if I switch cobble generators to something less useful, so that's why I chose blackstone. I love axolotls (they have been my 2nd favorite animal since long before Minecraft announced them), and I love how scientifically accurate they are (even though they are 5 times as big), and I would just like to add some more scientific accuracy to the game, without hurting gameplay.
