Aside from the aesthetics, do stone bricks have any benefit over smooth stone? Will creepers cause less structural damage to my luxurious stately-home if I build it (walls and floor) out of stone bricks?
It's probably the floor I'm most concerned about. One-brick thick walls will probably sustain damage regardless of the stone type, but if I have, say, two-brick thick floors of stone-brick for my house and grounds rather than smooth-stone will that be more resilient to creeper damage?
