Minecraft:Dripstone Block

Template:Infobox block The dripstone block is a Minecraft:rock block that allows Minecraft:pointed dripstone to grow beneath it.

Obtaining

Breaking

A dripstone block requires a Minecraft:pickaxe to be mined, in which case it drops itself. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Template:Main Dripstone blocks can be found in Minecraft:dripstone caves. They can generate on the floor, the ceiling, as stalactites, stalagmites, or stalagnates (joined stalactite and stalagmite). They can generate underwater.

Usage

Dripstone blocks are used primarily for decoration.

Natural growth

Template:Main If a stalactite is hanging from a dripstone block with a Minecraft:water source above, it slowly grows both the stalactite from above and a stalagmite from below.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb dripstone blocks, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
