• Can be placed on the floor or ceiling, creating stalagmites or stalactites respectively.
  • Can be combined to form longer stalactites and stalagmites.
• Stalagmites break if not attached to something below, and hurt Minecraft:entities which fall on top of them.

  • They drip Minecraft:water or Minecraft:lava into Minecraft:cauldrons if a source block is placed above the stalactite, and gradually fill the cauldron. Water drips even without any water above the block, but does not fill the cauldron.
