Cinnabar

1Block states
YesItem form

Cinnabar is a block in Minecraft that players break with a pickaxe. When it is mined, it drops itself, so the block can be collected and carried elsewhere.

Cinnabar is also an ingredient in 16 recipes. Players who gather it can put it toward a wide range of things they want to make.
