The '''dripstone block''' is a [[Minecraft:rock]] block that allows [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]] to grow beneath it.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A dripstone block requires a [[Minecraft:pickaxe]] to be mined, in which case it drops itself. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

{{breaking row|Dripstone Block|pickaxe|wooden|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
{{main|Dripstone (feature)}}
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.

=== Trading ===

== Usage ==
Dripstone blocks are used primarily for decoration.

=== Natural growth ===
{{main|Pointed Dripstone#Stalactites}}
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.

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