What Is Pointed Dripstone? What Can It Do? Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.17

Pointed dripstone can be found in dripstone caves. They are also found in small groups inside ordinary caves.

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

If a stalactite is hanging from a dripstone block with a water source above, the stalactite will grow very slowly. In addition, if there is a solid block within eleven blocks below this stalactite, a stalagmite will grow on that block towards the stalactite. This growth will not occur if the stalactite's tip is waterlogged, and a stalagmite below will not grow if its tip is waterlogged. They will not grow to more than seven blocks long.

Every random game tick there is a small chance of 0.011377778 for a stalactite or stalagmite to grow one block, meaning that every single growth step takes an average time of 5 in-game days.

Pointed dripstone comes in two different forms, stalactites and stalagmites. Placing a pointed dripstone between a stalagmite and stalactite without sneaking connects them. It can be waterlogged.

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

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 pointed dripstone at the tip of a stalactite does not produce drip particles. 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 damage from additional blocks.

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

Falling onto stalagmites multiplies the fall distance by two to calculate the total amount of fall damage, using the formula roundup (fall_distance × 2 − 2). Note that the distance traveled during the last game tick of falling time is not included in this calculation, making it slightly off at higher distances.

All mobs that are immune to fall damage do not take damage from falling into stalagmites.
