Pointed dripstone is a block that makes up stalactites, stalagmites, and stalagnates(columns).

Obtaining

Pointed dripstone can be found in dripstone caves, which can generate using only the buffet or custom world type.

Breaking

Pointed dripstone can be mined with any tool, but pickaxes are the quickest. Pointed dripstone breaks instantly when a trident is thrown at it.

Usage

Pointed dripstone comes in two different forms, stalactites and stalagmites. Both forms can be connected to form a stalagnate(column). It can be waterlogged.

Stalactites

A stalactite.

Stalactites are created when pointed dripstone is placed on the bottom of a block.

When the uppermost block of a stalactite less than 11 blocks tall gets randomly ticked, it checks for a water source or waterlogged block two blocks above it and a cauldron within 10 blocks under the tip with no non-air blocks in between. If both conditions are satisfied, there is a 17.6% (⁴⁵⁄₂₅₆) chance for it to drip water and fill the cauldron by one level. If there is a lava source above the stalactite, there is a 5.9% (¹⁵⁄₂₅₆) chance for it to completely fill an empty cauldron with lava instead, making lava a renewable resource.

Stalactites less than 11 blocks tall passively drip water particles (or lava particles in the Nether) in the absence of a liquid source, but these particles do not fill cauldrons. A waterlogged dripstone at the tip of a stalactite does not produce drip particles or fill a cauldron. Waterlogging other parts of the stalactite doesn't affect the dripping.

If the block supporting a stalactite or any block of the stalactite is broken, all of the unsupported pointed dripstone below the broken block drops, causing damage to any player and mobs standing beneath it, similar to a falling anvil. The amount of damage is 2 for each block of falling distance after 2 blocks. Stalactites with multiple pointed dripstone cause multiple damage, however, damage immunity prevents most of the additional blocks to cause damage.

Stalagmites

A stalagmite.

Stalagmites are created when pointed dripstone is placed on the ground.

Falling onto stalagmites multiplies the fall distance by four to calculate the total amount of fall damage, using the formula roundup(fall_distance × 4 − 3). Note that the distance travelled during last game tick of falling time is not included in this calculation, making it slightly off at higher distances; see Damage § Fall damage for more information.

All mobs that are immune to fall damage do not take damage from falling into stalagmites, the same applies to the player if gamerule fallDamage is set to false.

Pillar

A pillar.

A pillar is created when placing a pointed dripstone between a stalagmite and stalactite without sneaking. They are used only for decoration.

They are affected by gravity. Like with [[ender pearl]]s, there is a short cooldown before the player can throw another ice bomb. The cooldown is shown in the [[hotbar]] by a white overlay that shrinks before the player is able to use it again. Ice bombs explode upon hitting most [[blocks]], including non-solid blocks, but not [[air]]. They also explode upon hitting other entities, but do not deal [[damage]], and unlike [[egg]]s and [[snowball]]s, their impact is not considered an attack and does no damage or knockback. When exploding, any [[water]] (including flowing water, but not [[waterlogged]] blocks) in a 3×3×3 cube around the ice bomb freezes into [[ice]]. Ice bombs can be used to contain and displace [[mobs]] in ice under water. While [[endermen]] teleport away from arrows shot at them, they can be hit by ice bombs. Throwing an ice bomb while underwater encloses the player in ice. {| class="wikitable" |+Ice bomb arrangement table !y\x !-2 !-1 !0 !1 !2 |- !64 |Air |Air |Air |Air |Air |- !63 |Air |Air |Ice bomb |Air |Air |- !62 !Water !Ice !Ice !Ice !Water |- !61 !Water !Ice !Ice !Ice !Water |- !60 !Water !Water !Water !Water !Water |} == Sounds == {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Zombie breaks door.ogg |source=hostile |description=When an ice bomb is created by a [[lab table]] |id=mob.wither.break_block |volume=0.5 |pitch=1.1/1.3}} {{Sound table |sound=Glass dig1.ogg |sound2=Glass dig2.ogg |sound3=Glass dig3.ogg |source=block |description=When an ice bomb impacts something |id=random.glass |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.4/1.6 |foot=1}} == Data values == === ID === {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Ice Bomb |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Item |spritename=ice-bomb |spritetype=item |nameid=ice_bomb |id=595 |form=item |foot=1}} {{ID table |edition=bedrock |firstcolumnname=Ice Bomb |shownumericids=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Entity |spritename=ice-bomb |spritetype=entity |nameid=ice_bomb |id=106 |foot=1}} == History == {{History|bedrock}} {{History||1.4.0|snap=beta 1.2.20.1|[[File:Ice Bomb BE1.png|32px]] Added ice bombs.}} {{History|education}} {{History||1.0.27|[[File:Ice Bomb BE1.png|32px]] Added ice bombs.}} {{History|foot}} == Trivia == * In real life, mixing a sufficient amount of sodium acetate in water does solidify it, but creates [[wikipedia:Sodium acetate#Heating pad|hot ice]] (sodium acetate trihydrate) instead of normal ice. {{items}} {{entities}} {{Education Edition}} [[Category:Non-renewable resources]] [[Category:Education Edition items]] [[Category:Education Edition entities]] [[pl:Lodowa bomba]] [[de:Eisbombe]] [[ja:氷の爆弾]] [[ko:얼음 폭탄]] [[lzh:冰丸]] [[pt:Bomba de gelo]] [[zh:冰弹]]</li><li>[[Pufferfish (item)|Pufferfish (item)]]<br/>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Pufferfish}} {{about|the food item|the mob|Pufferfish}} {{Item | title = Pufferfish | image = File:Pufferfish_(item)_JE5_BE2.png | renewable = Yes | heals = {{hunger|1}} | stackable = Yes (64) |effects=: {{EffectLink|link=Hunger (effect)|Hunger}} III (0:15) : {{EffectLink|Poison}} II (1:00) : {{EffectLink|Nausea}} I (0:15){{only|JE}} : {{EffectLink|Nausea}} II (0:15){{only|BE}} }} A '''pufferfish''' is a poisonous [[food]] item that is used to brew [[Potion of Water Breathing|Water Breathing potions]]. == Obtaining == === Fishing === Pufferfish can be obtained through [[fishing]].
