You step into a stone object or surface large enough to fully contain your body, melding yourself and all the equipment you carry with the stone for the duration. Using your movement, you step into the stone at a point you can touch. Nothing of your presence remains visible or otherwise detectable by nonmagical senses.
While merged with the stone, you can't see what occurs outside it, and any Wisdom (Perception) checks you make to hear sounds outside it are made with disadvantage. You remain aware of the passage of time and can cast spells on yourself while merged in the stone. You can use your movement to leave the stone where you entered it, which ends the spell. You otherwise can't move.
Minor physical damage to the stone doesn't harm you, but its partial destruction or a change in its shape (to the extent that you no longer fit within it) expels you and deals 6d6 bludgeoning damage to you. The stone's complete destruction (or transmutation into a different substance) expels you and deals 50 bludgeoning damage to you. If expelled, you fall prone in an unoccupied space closest to where you first entered.
I don't believe so - the Touch target is the stone you are melding into.
While this is cool to use for a long rest, it does put you at disadvantage if group is attacked.
Your Passive perception would be minus 5 due to disadvantage. What would an ally need to do alert you?
If they were to bang loudly on the point where you entered, what would you passive perception need to be to hear it?
I would totally allow that. Nice idea childowind
Say I meld into a stone statue. If someone animates the statue would it spit me out or would I be along for the ride?
So if someone casts Shatter one someone using this spell wtf happens?
So can I meld with the stone on one side and come out on the other or?

No, you have to go back out the way you went in.

Can you cast this spell on a Zodar from Spelljammer? It says that it is made of obsidian, which is a stone...?
I have a question that me and my friend are arguing about, when casting Meld With Stone it says you use your movement. Does this mean that you get opportunity attacked by creatures in 5 ft of you?
In my mind it ought not to due to the movement being a by product of the Spell which could be forced movement since it is required by the spell. Unless the enemy has Mage Slayer I do not think that it should be proxied by the use of the Spell.
But then again it is leaving area of attack for the enemy which says the attack is made as the creature leaves their space.
Any information that can settle this would be terrific.
I don't know if there's a clear rules-as-written answer, but I'd argue that you have total cover from attacks while within the stone and therefore can't be targeted by an opportunity attack when you leave it
the question was about using stone shape to change the shape of the stone. the part you quoted said that the expulsion would only happen if the stone was destroyed, or turned into a different substance. for example if the stone was turned into wool or flesh.
Since you can cast any spells on yourself could you cast AOE centered on you like fireball. Would it work on spells that chain like Chaos Bolt or the Sleep spell which ends up being a bit of both?
If I hear goblins outside my stone and have immunity or resistance to fire would it be a good idea to blow myself up to catch some of them in a blast they couldn't see coming. Would it be better to cast sleep if I know I have more health? Would any of this work at all?

Can I meld into stone and have my Echo Knight go ham while I hide?
Fireball wouldn't work since it can't escape a fully enclosed space only bend around walls. Since you're fully surrounded by rock you can't hit them with fireball only spells that can hit through a solid wall would work.
Maybe, once you reach a certain level. The thing is that this spell specifies that "you can't see what occurs outside" the stone you merge into. Echo Knights don't gain the ability to see through the eyes of their echo until level 7.
According to Jeremy Crawford, the intent is that you're not supposed to be able to attack with the echo while it's in that mode, but that's definitely not in the Rules As Written, so technically you should be able to do that. But you'd need to be at least a level 7 Echo Knight and at least a level 5 Cleric/Druid (to get access to this spell) so you can't use that tactic until at least character level 12.
