About Dripstone Block

The Dripstone Block is a full, stone-like building block with a rough, cave-drenched look. It is mostly used for decoration, especially in cave builds, paths, and rocky landscaping.

A useful quirk is that it works with pointed dripstone. If you place a water source above it and pointed dripstone below, water can drip through and slowly grow more pointed dripstone. That makes it part of a renewable pointed dripstone farm.

How to get Dripstone Block

You can get Dripstone Blocks by crafting them from four pointed dripstone in a 2x2 square. They also generate naturally across dripstone caves, usually as part of larger dripstone formations.

Mine the block with any pickaxe to collect it. There is no chest loot or villager trade for it, so crafting and caving are your two real sources.
