Lapis Lazuli Ore

1Block states
YesItem form

Lapis Lazuli Ore is a block in Minecraft. Players mine it with a pickaxe, and the pickaxe must be at least a stone tool, or the block drops nothing when broken.

Breaking the block with a suitable pickaxe yields Lapis Ore and Lapis Lazuli. The ore is also an ingredient in two crafting recipes, so players can put it to use beyond mining it.
