Natural generation

Calcite generates naturally as part of the structure of Minecraft:amethyst geodes, between the Minecraft:smooth basalt and Minecraft:block of amethyst layers. It also generates in the Minecraft:stony peaks in Minecraft:strips.

Usage

Calcite is used for decoration. It has lower blast resistance and hardness than most other stone-related blocks.

Note blocks

Calcite can be placed under Minecraft:note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

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