'''Lapis lazuli ore''', internally known as '''lapis ore''', is the [[Minecraft:ore]] block from which [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]] is obtained.<br />
<br />
'''Deepslate lapis lazuli ore''', internally known as '''deepslate lapis ore''', is a variant of lapis lazuli ore that generates in [[Minecraft:deepslate]] layers.<br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
Lapis lazuli ore can be mined with a [[Minecraft:stone pickaxe]] or better. To obtain the block itself, the player must use [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]]; otherwise, the block drops 4–9 [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]].<br />

|link=none; none<br />
|Pickaxe; Pickaxe<br />
|Stone; Stone<br />
|drop=0; 0}}<br />
When mined with a [[Minecraft:Fortune]]-enchanted pickaxe, there is a chance for the drops to be multiplied by between 2 and the level plus 1, up to a maximum of 2 to 4 at level III (for a maximum of 36 lapis lazuli dropped). This means at [[Minecraft:Fortune]] III there is a chance to get a minimum of 4 lapis lazuli or 36 lapis lazuli. Because the average drop for Fortune II and III is more than 9, a block of lapis lazuli ore potentially stores more lapis lazuli than a block of lapis lazuli. The drops per Fortune level are as follows:<br />

Lapis ore also drops {{xp|2|5}} when broken without Silk Touch.<br />
<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
{{see also|Ore (feature)}}<br />
Lapis lazuli ore generates in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] in the form of [[Minecraft:ore feature]]s. It generates in two batches per [[Minecraft:chunk]]:<br />
* The first batch attempts to generate 2 times per chunk, in sizes of 0-10, from levels -32 to 32. It is most common around level 0 and becomes less common toward either end of the range.<br />
* The second batch attempts to generate 4 times per chunk, in sizes of 0-10, evenly from levels -64 to 64. Lapis lazuli ore in this second batch cannot be exposed to air; any ore blocks that would generate exposed do not generate.<br />
<br />
Lapis lazuli ore can replace [[Minecraft:stone]], [[Minecraft:andesite]], [[Minecraft:diorite]], [[Minecraft:granite]], [[Minecraft:tuff]], and [[Minecraft:deepslate]]. Any lapis lazuli ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate variant.<br />
<br />
{{Block distribution}}<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
The primary usage of lapis lazuli ore is to [[#Breaking|mine]] it for [[Minecraft:lapis lazuli]].<br />

}}<br />
<br />
=== Note blocks ===<br />
Lapis lazuli ore can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.<br />
<br />
=== Sulfur cube ===<br />
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}<br />
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb lapis lazuli ore and deepslate lapis lazuli ore, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.<br />
