'''Calcite''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] of carbonate mineral, which can be used as decoration.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Calcite drops as an item if mined by any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{Breaking row|Calcite|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1|foot=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
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.

{{Block distribution}}

== Usage ==
Calcite is used for decoration. It has lower blast resistance and hardness than most other stone-related blocks.

=== Note blocks ===
Calcite can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.

=== Sulfur cube ===
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}
[[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.
