	~~Diamond ore 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 diamond ore and deepslate diamond ore, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
