Dripstone Block is a rock block that forms the ceilings, floors, and columns of dripstone caves. Water dripping through a Dripstone Block causes Pointed Dripstone growing beneath it to slowly lengthen over time.

FAQ

What tool do I need to mine it?

At least a wooden pickaxe. Mining without a pickaxe drops nothing.

Does it grow stalactites on its own?

No, but it lets Pointed Dripstone grow beneath it if water is dripping through it from above.

Is it renewable?

Yes — it can be crafted from Pointed Dripstone, which itself grows naturally over time.

Is it affected by Fortune or Silk Touch?

No. It always drops exactly one Dripstone Block regardless of enchantments.
