	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]]. ~~They behave similarly to~~ [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]].		Sulfur spikes come in two different forms, stalactites and stalagmites. Placing a sulfur spike between a stalagmite and stalactite without sneaking connects them. It can be [[Minecraft:waterlogged]]. Mobs can jump up pointed dripstone as long as its height does not exceed four blocks. [[Minecraft:Horse]]s and other similar mobs can travel up the same pointed dripstone as if they were stairs.

	Stalactites are created when sulfur spikes are placed ~~on the bottom of~~ a block.		Stalactites are created when sulfur spikes are placed beneath 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.

	A sulfur spike can grow only if it is hanging directly under a [[Minecraft:sulfur]] block. It grows downward, forming a stalactite with a maximum length of 3 blocks. In addition, if there is a block with a full solid top surface less than 11 blocks below the tip of the stalactite, a stalagmite can grow on that block toward the stalactite. This does not occur if the stalactite is 3 or more blocks long. Neither stalactites nor stalagmites can grow if their tip is waterlogged.

	Sulfur spikes grow slowly, with an average time of 5 in-game days (100 minutes) for every single growth step. More precisely, every time the tip of a stalactite receives a [[Minecraft:random tick]], there is a small chance of 1.138% ({{frac\|64\|5625}}) for it or the stalagmite below to grow one block.

If the game tries to grow the stalagmite and there is no valid surface below, it will fail instead of growing the stalactite.
