	Pointed dripstone can grow only if it is hanging directly under a [[Minecraft:dripstone block]] while there is a [[Minecraft:water]] source above (~~not~~ a [[Minecraft:waterlogged]] block). In addition, if there is a solid ~~block~~ less than eleven blocks below this stalactite, a stalagmite grows on that block toward the stalactite. This growth does not occur if the stalactite's tip is waterlogged and a stalagmite below does not grow if its tip is waterlogged. They do not grow to more than seven blocks long.		Pointed dripstone can grow only if it is hanging directly under a [[Minecraft:dripstone block]] while there is a [[Minecraft:water]] source above ({{in\|java}}, a [[Minecraft:waterlogged]] block also works). In addition, if there is a block with a full solid top surface less than eleven blocks below this stalactite, a stalagmite grows on that block toward the stalactite. This growth does not occur if the stalactite's tip is waterlogged and a stalagmite below does not grow if its tip is waterlogged. They do not grow to more than seven blocks long.

	Every time the block receives a [[Minecraft:random tick]], there is a small chance of 1.138% ({{frac\|64\|5625}}) for a stalactite or stalagmite to grow one block, meaning that every single growth step takes an average time of 5 in-game days (100 minutes).

	Stalactites less than 11 blocks tall passively drip water [[Minecraft:particle]]s (or lava particles in [[Minecraft:the Nether]]) in the absence of a liquid source, but these particles do not fill cauldrons. A waterlogged pointed dripstone at the tip of a stalactite does not produce drip particles. Waterlogging other parts of the stalactite does not affect the dripping.		Stalactites less than 11 blocks tall passively drip water [[Minecraft:particle]]s (or lava particles in [[Minecraft:the Nether]]) in the absence of a liquid source, but these particles do not fill cauldrons. A waterlogged pointed dripstone at the tip of a stalactite does not produce drip particles. Waterlogging other parts of the stalactite does not affect the dripping.

	If the block supporting a stalactite or any block of the stalactite is broken, all of the unsupported pointed dripstone below the broken block drops, causing damage to any player and mobs standing beneath it, similar to a falling [[Minecraft:anvil]]. After 2 blocks' falling, the amount of damage is {{hp\|1}} per pointed dripstone falling (less than 6 will be count as 6) per each block of falling distance in Java Edition, or {{hp\|1}} per each block of falling distance in Bedrock Edition<ref>{{Bug\|MCPE-184329\|3=Falling stalactite does 1 damage per block fallen instead of 6}}</ref>. (e.g., one single pointed dripstone that falls 4 blocks deals {{hp\|18}} damage). The damage is capped at {{Hp\|40}}, no matter how far the stalactite falls. Wearing a [[Minecraft:helmet]] reduces the damage by ~~<sup>~~1~~</sup>⁄<sub>~~4~~</sub>~~, but this costs twice as much durability on the helmet as on other armor pieces. When a player dies by a stalactite falling on them, the [[Minecraft:death message]] '''"<''player''> was skewered by a falling stalactite"''' appears. However, if a player is merely touched by a falling stalactite entity, no damage is dealt unless the stalactite hits the ground in the same block where the player is located. Stalactites with multiple pointed dripstone can cause multiple damage; however, [[Minecraft:damage immunity]] prevents most of the damage from additional blocks.
