Deepslate Lapis Lazuli Ore
Lapis lazuli ore, internally known as lapis ore, is the ore block from which lapis lazuli is obtained. Deepslate lapis lazuli ore, internally known as deepslate lapis ore, is a variant of lapis lazuli ore that generates in deepslate layers.
Natural generation
Lapis lazuli ore generates in the Overworld in the form of ore features. It generates in two batches per chunk: The first batch attempts to generate 2 times per chunk, in sizes of 0-10, from levels -32 to 32. It is most common around level 0 and becomes less common toward either end of the range. The second batch attempts to generate 4 times per chunk, in sizes of 0-10, evenly from levels -64 to 64. Lapis lazuli ore in this second batch cannot be exposed to air; any ore blocks that would generate exposed do not generate. Lapis lazuli ore can replace stone, andesite, diorite, granite, tuff, and deepslate. Any lapis lazuli ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate variant.
Usage
The primary usage of lapis lazuli ore is to mine it for lapis lazuli.
