Calcite is a block exclusively found in geodes and stony peaks.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Breaking

[edit | edit source]

Calcite drops as an item if mined by any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking Β§ Speed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

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

Usage

[edit | edit source]

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