Lapis Lazuli

Lapis lazuli is a primary color dye obtained by mining lapis lazuli ore. Similar to coal, emerald, redstone and diamond, lapis lazuli can be used immediately without the need for smelting. It is used to create the lapis lazuli block.

Mining
When mined with a stone pickaxe or better, a block of lapis lazuli ore will drop 4–8 pieces of lapis lazuli.

Trading
Cleric villagers sell 1–2 lapis lazuli for an emerald as part of their third tier of trades.

Enchanting
1-3 pieces of lapis lazuli are used to enchant items.

Trivia

 * In real life, lapis lazuli is a medium hard stone used for making jewelry and as a pigment.
 * Lapis lazuli dye was going to be a crafting ingredient for the block Crying Obsidian, but neither the block nor the recipe were ever added.
 * Lapis lazuli is the only dye that can be crafted into a block.
 * Using a Fortune III pickaxe, it is possible to get half a stack of lapis lazuli from one ore block, giving it the highest maximum yield with Fortune.
