'''Sulfur spikes''' are pointed [[Minecraft:block]]s found only in [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]]. It forms stalactites and stalagmites, functioning similarly to [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Sulfur spikes drop when mined by any [[Minecraft:tool]] or hand, but [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]s are the quickest. Sulfur spikes break instantly when hit by a thrown [[Minecraft:trident]]. However, it cannot be broken with any other [[Minecraft:projectile]].

{{Breaking row|Sulfur Spike|Pickaxe|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
Sulfur spikes generate in [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]].

=== Trading ===
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader]]s may sell 2 sulfur spikes for 1 [[Minecraft:emerald]].

=== Post-generation ===
Unlike [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]], sulfur spikes do not need a water source above to grow and can grow if it is hanging under a [[Minecraft:sulfur]] block.

== Usage ==
Sulfur spikes can be found in two different forms, stalactites and stalagmites. Placing a sulfur spike between a stalagmite and stalactite without sneaking connects them. Sulfur spikes can also be [[Minecraft:waterlogged]].

=== Stalactites ===
[[File:Sulfur Spike Stalactite JE1.png|thumb|upright=0.5|A stalactite]]
Stalactites are created when sulfur spikes are placed on the bottom of a block.

If the block supporting a stalactite or any block of the stalactite is broken, all of the unsupported sulfur spike below the broken block drops, causing damage to any player and mobs standing beneath it, similar to a falling [[Minecraft:anvil]]. When a player dies by a stalactite falling on them, the [[Minecraft:death message]] '''"<''player''> was skewered by a falling stalactite"''' appears.

=== Stalagmites ===
[[File:Sulfur Spike Stalagmite JE1.png|thumb|upright=0.5|A stalagmite]]
Stalagmites are created when sulfur spikes are placed on the ground.

Unlike pointed dripstone, jumping onto a sulfur spike doesn't damage players or mobs. Dying by falling onto a sulfur spike stalagmite treats the death as standard fall damage, meaning the death message '''"<player> was impaled on a stalagmite"''' is not displayed.

It is possible to climb up portions of stalagmites entirely composed of differently sized parts because of the different collision box sizes of the sulfur spikes that it composes of.

=== Columns ===
[[File:Sulfur Spike Column.png|thumb|right|A naturally generated sulfur spike column]]
Sulfur spike columns can be found naturally in sulfur caves, and are formed when stalactites and stalagmites join together in mid-air. When grown, they stop where they join (unlike in real life).

Columns can be created manually by stacking sulfur spikes on either the stalactite or the stalagmite or both until they join together, the last sulfur spikes placed being the most slender part of the whole column. Based on the direction of the last block placed, the shape of the column's slender part can vary.
