Talk:Block of Lapis Lazuli

Splittable?
Can a Lapis Lazuli block be crafted back into 9 dyes like the metal and diamond blocks, or is it permanent? Either way it's probably worth mentioning in the page. Yomikoma 23:56, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, they do act like the metal and diamond blocks, so one block equals 9 dyes. --Master7432

Rarity?
It says that they may be rarer than Diamonds. They certainly are rare (I've only found 4 on my new file), but has anyone tried actually coming up with a figure per chunk? Rougeweasel 05:24, 15 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I think there are around 0.049383-0.074074 per chunk. Simplified to 3 decimal places, 0.049-0.074 per chunk. Average, that's about 0.06 per chunk. Diamond is found in 0.08% of a chunk under layer 16. Lapis is found under level 32. This makes Diamond 1.5 times as rare as Lapis!


 * I found 4-6 in 81 chunks which I tested 3 times, so that's what I came up with. Though it does vary from only 2 to 8 per 81 chunks, from what I heard. - TyrannoFan • TF's Talk • Contributions - 13:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Breakable?
When you break Lapis Lazuli blocks do you get them back? Or do they break like glass and give you nothing? --Modred11 20:16, 6 June 2011 (UTC)


 * You get them back. Legoless 20:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

You need to use a stone pickaxe or better to retrieve it. If it takes a very long time to remove you won't get it back. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 06:49, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
