Lapis lazuli ore, internally known as lapis ore, is the ore block from which lapis lazuli is obtained.
Deepslate lapis lazuli ore, internally known as deepslate lapis ore, is a variant of lapis lazuli ore that generates in deepslate layers.
Lapis lazuli ore can be mined with a stone pickaxe or better. To obtain the block itself, the player must use Silk Touch; otherwise, the block drops 4β9 lapis lazuli.

When mined with a Fortune-enchanted pickaxe, there is a chance for the drops to be multiplied by between 2 and the level plus 1, up to a maximum of 2 to 4 at level III (for a maximum of 36 lapis lazuli dropped). This means at Fortune III there is a chance to get a minimum of 4 lapis lazuli or 36 lapis lazuli. Because the average drop for Fortune II and III is more than 9, a block of lapis lazuli ore potentially stores more lapis lazuli than a block of lapis lazuli. The drops per Fortune level are as follows:

Lapis ore also drops 2β5XP when broken without Silk Touch.
Lapis lazuli ore generates in the Overworld in the form of ore features. It generates in two batches per chunk:
Lapis lazuli ore can replace stone, andesite, diorite, granite, tuff, and deepslate. Any lapis lazuli ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate variant.
The primary usage of lapis lazuli ore is to mine it for lapis lazuli.
