Minecraft:Dripstone Block

Template:Infobox block Dripstone block is a Minecraft:rock block that allows Minecraft:pointed dripstone to grow beneath it if there is Minecraft:water on top of 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.
