Potent Sulfur

1Properties
YesItem form

Potent Sulfur is a block in Minecraft that players make by crafting it from Sulfur. It does not generate on its own as a source material; it comes from the crafting process.

Players mine Potent Sulfur with a pickaxe. When broken, the block drops itself, so it can be collected and placed again elsewhere.
