Lapis Lazuli Ore

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

Lapis Lazuli ore is a block that can be mined underground with a stone or better pickaxe. It is usually found at a depth of 32 and below, similar to Gold. At and under that depth, it is found in roughly 0.06% of that rock, making it around 1.5 times more common than Diamond ore. It is blue in colour and when mined, it drops a blue dye that can be used to create blue wool or be crafted into a Lapis Lazuli block. When combined with bone meal it creates light blue dye. Speculation suggests that it is as rare, or possibly rarer than Diamond (Jens Bergensten has acknowledged that the ore is too rare, and stated that it will be changed to provide more dye, probably by making the ore drop more pieces, like Redstone ). The most efficient way to find this ore is to explore caves in the depths it spawns in, seeing as it is spread out more than diamond with the same rarity. The ore will not spawn in already explored caves.

Trivia

 * Like coal, redstone, and diamond ore, you get the resource immediately after you mine it.
