Lapis Lazuli


 * This article is about the Lapis Lazuli dye. For the block, see Lapis Lazuli (Block). For the ore, see Lapis Lazuli (Ore).

Uses

 * Can be combined with Wool to make Blue Wool
 * Can be applied to sheep, which will yield 2–4 blocks of Blue Wool when sheared.
 * A lapis lazuli block can be formed by filling a crafting grid with 9 dye pieces.

Rarity and Location
Lapis lazuli has a similar rarity to diamond, but is found in less predictable ranges of layers, thus making it less predictably found. This fosters a belief among some players that lapis lazuli is rarer than diamond.

Trivia
On SMP, Lapis Lazuli only dropped a single Lapis Lazuli dye when mined, making much more rare than it already is. This has since been fixed
