'''Calcite''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] of carbonate mineral, which can be used as decoration.<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
Calcite drops as an item if mined by any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.<br />
{{Breaking row|Calcite|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1|foot=1}}<br />
<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
Calcite generates naturally as part of the structure of [[Minecraft:amethyst geode]]s, between the [[Minecraft:smooth basalt]] and [[Minecraft:block of amethyst]] layers. It also generates in the [[Minecraft:stony peaks]] in [[Minecraft:strip]]s.<br />
<br />
{{Block distribution}}<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Calcite is used for decoration. It has lower blast resistance and hardness than most other stone-related blocks.<br />
<br />
=== Note blocks ===<br />
Calcite can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.<br />
<br />
=== Sulfur cube ===<br />
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}<br />
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb calcite, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.<br />
