Deepslate Lapis Ore

Deepslate lapis lazuli ore is a mineral found in Minecraft, a deepslate variant of lapis lazuli ore. It primarily appears in deep underground cave systems below the Y-axis 0. Unlike regular lapis lazuli ore, deepslate lapis lazuli ore cannot be crafted using a crafting table or furnace, and must be mined in the game. To mine deepslate lapis lazuli ore, players need to use a diamond, iron, stone, or netherite pickaxe enchanted with 'Silk Touch'. Using other tools will not drop deepslate lapis lazuli ore. When mined with a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, it will directly drop the deepslate lapis lazuli ore block, otherwise it will only drop lapis lazuli. Deepslate lapis lazuli ore can also be found in the Creative inventory. This mineral was introduced in the Caves & Cliffs update (Minecraft 1.17). It is a useful item that can be used for crafting or other purposes. Deepslate lapis lazuli ore has a higher hardness than regular lapis lazuli ore.
