Calcite is used for decoration. It has lower blast resistance and hardness than most other stone-related blocks.
Calcite can be [[Minecraft:crafted]] into several decorative variants. Just like crafting the sulfur and cinnabar family, it has raw calcite slabs, stairs, walls, polished calcite, polished calcite slabs, stairs, walls, and calcite bricks, slabs, stairs, and walls. The calcite family also has an additional calcite pillar unlike the sulfur and cinnabar family do.
