The '''dripstone block''' is a [[Minecraft:rock]] block that allows [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]] to grow beneath it.<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
A dripstone block requires a [[Minecraft:pickaxe]] to be mined, in which case it drops itself. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.<br />
<br />
{{breaking row|Dripstone Block|pickaxe|wooden|horizontal=1}}<br />
<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
{{main|Dripstone (feature)}}<br />
Dripstone blocks can be found in [[Minecraft:dripstone caves]]. They can generate on the floor, the ceiling, as stalactites, stalagmites, or stalagnates (joined stalactite and stalagmite). They can generate underwater.<br />

== Usage ==<br />
Dripstone blocks are used primarily for decoration.<br />
<br />
=== Natural growth ===<br />
{{main|Pointed Dripstone#Stalactites}}<br />
If a stalactite is hanging from a dripstone block with a [[Minecraft:water]] source above, it slowly grows both the stalactite from above and a stalagmite from below.<br />
<br />
=== Sulfur cube ===<br />
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}<br />
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb dripstone blocks, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.<br />
