A '''heavy core''' is a rare [[Minecraft:block]] that can only be obtained from [[Minecraft:ominous vault]]s found in [[Minecraft:trial chambers]]. It can be combined with a [[Minecraft:breeze rod]] to craft a [[Minecraft:mace]].<br />

<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
A heavy core can be mined with any tool or by hand, but a [[Minecraft:pickaxe]] is the most effective. It always drops itself when mined. <br />

<br />
=== Note blocks ===<br />
Heavy cores can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce the "snare drum" sound.<br />
<br />
=== Piston interactivity ===<br />
{{IN|bedrock}}, just like [[Minecraft:glazed terracotta]], heavy cores can be pushed by [[Minecraft:piston]]s but can't be pulled by [[Minecraft:sticky piston]]s. They also don't stick to [[Minecraft:slime block]]s and [[Minecraft:honey block]]s. {{IN|java}}, they can be both pushed and pulled by pistons. They also stick to slime blocks and honey blocks.<br />
