Template:For Template:Planned Template:In development Template:Infobox block Sulfur spikes are Minecraft:blocks found in Minecraft:sulfur caves. They form stalactites and stalagmites which resemble Minecraft:pointed dripstone, but with different properties.
Stalactites (which point Template:Tooltip) grow over time when attached to Minecraft:sulfur and can serve as falling projectiles.
Stalagmites (which point Template:Tooltip) do not deal extra fall damage, unlike pointed dripstone.
Obtaining
Breaking
Sulfur spikes drop when mined by any Minecraft:tool or hand, but Minecraft:pickaxes are the quickest. Sulfur spikes break instantly when hit by a thrown Minecraft:trident. However, it cannot be broken with any other Minecraft:projectile.
Natural generation
Sulfur spikes generate in Minecraft:sulfur caves in cluster formations.
Trading
Minecraft:Wandering traders may sell 2 sulfur spikes for 1 Minecraft:emerald.Template:Note
Post-generation
Sulfur spikes slowly grow when placed on the underside of Minecraft:sulfur.
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. They behave similarly to pointed dripstone.
Stalactites
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
Stalagmites are created when sulfur spikes are placed on the ground.
Unlike pointed dripstone, falling on a sulfur stalagmite does not affect the amount of fall damage taken.<ref>https://youtu.be/CjaKAogRc8s?t=356</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref> 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
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.
