Emerald Ore

1Block states
YesItem form

Emerald Ore is a block in Minecraft that players mine with a pickaxe. It only drops something when the tool is iron or better, so weaker pickaxes break it without any reward.

Players mine it to collect Emerald, though the ore block itself can also drop. Emerald Ore is also an ingredient in two recipes.
