Block of Lapis Lazuli


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

Lapis Lazuli is a block that can be crafted from Lapis Lazuli dye. It is a light blue colour, with darker blue markings on it. Its only uses are as a building block and as a form of storage of Lapis Lazuli dye. It looks very similar to water, which is why it's sometimes used for easily creating water decorations.

Trivia

 * Before 1.6.6, it was easier to craft a Lapis Lazuli block than any other ore block, because a Lapis Lazuli ore block drops 4-8 Lapis Lazuli dye. Now, the easiest ore block to craft is Glowstone, which although it drops less dust, is much easier to craft due to it only needing the 2x2 crafting grid.
 * In real life, Lapis Lazuli is a blue gem that may be ground and processed into ultramarine pigment. Lapis Lazuli pigment has been famously used in the production of illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, and cave paintings. (See Wikipedia page).
 * Lapis Lazuli Blocks are the only mineral blocks that can be crafted that are NOT crafted from a material that can be used in the crafting of tools or armor.
