Need help finding granite

[MonoFR]

Currently 20 hours into my world and my main goal right now is to make a forge. My entire world is seemingly made of sandstone and andesite, is there any tips to finding different rocks? I know the rock generation is very big but im getting a little unmotivated as im about 5000 blocks away from home and havent found anything except sandstone.

You should be able to make a forge from any cobblestone--granite is just one option.

Finding new rocks is really just a matter of exploring the world. If you happen to find a ruined translocator(this is only an option if lore content is enabled), you can repair it and teleport a few thousand blocks away in an instant, which makes it easier to find new rock types. Igneous rocks like granite, andesite, and peridotite are also found on the bottom rock layers, so it doesn't hurt to dig down or explore some caves to see what's available. If you dig near the mantle, basalt isn't an uncommon find either, and I've also heard this is where phyllite often spawns though I've never found it myself.

It's not wasted time if you learned something and have a funny story to tell later.  If nothing else, there may turn out to be resources that you need later in the area that you explored.
