Minecraft:Emerald Ore

Template:Infobox block Emerald ore is a rare mineral block that generates only in mountains and windswept hills biomes. It drops Minecraft:emeralds when mined, or itself if mined with a Minecraft:pickaxe with the Minecraft:Silk Touch enchantment.

Deepslate emerald ore is a very rare variant of emerald ore that can generate in Minecraft:deepslate and Minecraft:tuff blobs.

Obtaining

Breaking

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote Emerald ore can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better, otherwise it drops nothing. If mined without Silk Touch, the block drops 1 Minecraft:emerald (or up to 4 with Fortune). If mined with a pickaxe with Silk Touch, the block drops itself. It also drops

Natural generation

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote

Emerald ore generates in mountains and windswept hills biomes in the form of ore features, and attempts to generate 100 times per chunk in blobs of 0–4 ores. Emerald ore can be exposed to the sky.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Specifically, it can be found in the following biomes:

Emerald ore generates from levels -16 to 320, having the greatest chance at level 232, and becoming less common toward either end of the range. However, because there is little to no terrain in the upper half of that range in regular worlds, the actual emerald ore quantity peaks around level 90 as seen in the empirical distribution graph below.

1. REDIRECT Template:Block distribution

Emerald ore can replace Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:tuff, and Minecraft:deepslate. Emerald ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate emerald ore, which is the rarest ore in Minecraft, rarer than normal emerald ore and ancient debris, even rarer than its second-place competitor, (non-deepslate) diamond ore. It generates only between the altitudes of -16 and 8 where deepslate naturally occurs, which happens to be toward the end of emerald ore distribution where it is extremely rare; its limitation to certain biomes further adds to its rarity.

Usage

Note blocks

Emerald ore can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb emerald ore and deepslate emerald ore, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.

History

When diamond ore was added in Java Edition Indev 0.31 20100128-2200, it was known until 20100129-2332 as "emerald ore".

Trivia

• Even though emerald ore is rarer than diamond ore, emerald ore is generally found more often in mountains biomes than diamond ore, as the emerald ore blocks are generated in a more scattered fashion.
• Excluding blocks generated by structures, deepslate emerald ore is one of the rarest<ref>

1. redirect Template:YouTube link

Template:Redr</ref> naturally-generated blocks in Minecraft, as emeralds only spawn in mountainous biomes, and spawn less at lower Y-levels. They also spawn in veins of 1, and require Silk Touch to drop themselves.

• Contrasting with the ore, trading with villagers yields easier non-ore emeralds, renewably.
