One mineral in Minecraft has two names, and both are beautiful: lapis lazuli and ultramarine. Well, what is the color, so is the name. Why do you need a beautiful blue mineral? Ultramarine is a dye extracted from an ore. It can be used in many cases:

• You can use it to paint a sheep. You can make an animal blue by right-clicking on it with dye in hand.
• You can dye already cut wool in Minecraft by placing it along with the mineral in the crafting grid.
• By mixing lapis lazuli with other dyes, dyes of other colors can be made. Thus, a mixture of ultramarine with “cactus” allows you to achieve “turquoise”, a combination with the color of a rose gives a purple paint, and a combination with bone meal can produce a light blue paint. More in-depth experiments can lead to other colors, for example, lilac.

• Using lapis lazuli in Minecraft you can make a dog's collar colored.
• Why do you need leather armor? To paint it, of course!
• With v. 14w02a lapis lazuli is needed to enchant things. The amount of dye required in an enchantment varies (1-3) depending on what the crafter is enchanting. From that moment on, it is a renewable resource; it is used in Minecraft by village merchants.

Here's a table showing what it's for.

How to extract the mineral

Why do you need a “painting block”, you understand, but how to make it? There are two options: craft it from a lapis lazuli block or extract it from the ore of the same name.

But you can get it from a block if you already have ultramarine, it’s just in a compact form. However, why do you need this method if you don’t have it at all? In this situation, there is only one way out: make it from the p. added in Beta 1.2 Minecraft. Like all non-metallic materials, it does not require remelting for further use. Lapis lazuli drops, in addition to experience, from four to eight units of paint.

Lapis lazuli should be mined with a pickaxe: diamond, iron or stone. You can find ore in Minecraft at an altitude of 32 and below. The main deposits are located at a height of nineteen from the bedrock. At this altitude, “blue” comes across one and a half times more often than diamonds. Taken as a whole, the lapis lazuli content is 3.43 blocks per chunk, and this content is slightly higher than the amount of diamonds in Minecraft.

In Minecraft it is also possible to obtain lapis lazuli by smelting it. For this p. must be mined with a pickaxe sworn to Silk Touch. However, this is a very ineffective way to obtain lapis lazuli, because when melted down, only one unit of ultramarine is obtained. Why do you need one piece when you can get up to eight?

Two non-vital facts

You've learned the basics, but why limit yourself to the basics? There are a couple more facts you can live without knowing, but...

• Before v. 13w19a its texture was lighter.
• In the Pocket version of Minecraft, it is inferior to diamonds in terms of prevalence.

Most likely you thought that some blocks in the game were completely useless. I want to change your mind and today I will tell you what can be made from lapis lazuli in minecraft.

Extraction and application

There are some blocks in the game that seem useless to us, and we rarely mine ores that seem useless at first glance. For example emirald. At first glance, it’s an absolutely useless stone, but thanks to it, we can buy whatever we want from the residents. I wrote about where to get villagers and how to buy items from them in one of my articles. If you are interested, you can visit our forum. Also there you can find the answer to any question that interests you.

Let's move on to the production. You can find it at the same height as red dust. He also mines lapis lazuli with an iron pickaxe. This raw material has two uses. The first is dye. From lapis lazuli we can make a blue dye. We can also combine it with other dyes to get new colors. You can find recipes on our forum. The second is the scenery. We can make a lapis lazuli block and use it to create any kind of interior, because the block looks very beautiful.

I just told you about lapis lazuli. We are waiting for you on our portal and in our store. Don't forget to enter it!

All in the game there are 6 types of ores: coal, iron, gold, lapis lazuli, red ore, and the most valuable - diamonds.

Coal

Coal is a substance that is always in circulation. It is needed for everything and in large quantities: to explore caves you need torches (craft: 1 coal on top + 1 stick on bottom). After exploring the caves, you need to process the found ores and stone in the stove, which also requires coal. Therefore, don't pass by. It should always be in the chest near the stove.

Iron

You can’t do without hardware in the game: How can you go into caves or on the street at night, where a bunch of monsters live, without uniforms? From iron you can create a fairly strong sword and armor, and you can go on a hike without the fear that a creeper will sneak up behind you and tear you to shreds in an explosion. By the way, for a hike you need a compass and a map, which contain a fair amount of iron. But you can also secure your home by making an iron fence and an iron door.

Gold

Of course, you can also create armor from gold, but it is very soft and breaks quickly. But this is not a reason not to collect gold: it is necessary in the creation of railways. The main benefit of gold is gold nuggets (1 gold -> 9 nuggets), which are used to create golden apples.

Lapis lazuli

Lapis lazuli is used in only one way - as a dye. But even though there is a lot of it in caves, use it wisely: it is better to dye a sheep once than to waste hundreds of lapis lazuli.

Red Ore

Red ore is used by players to optimize their game and build destructive mechanisms and invisible traps from mobs and enemies. There is a lot of it in the caves, but if you plan something grandiose, then it ends so imperceptibly.

Diamonds

Diamond is the most valuable and durable everywhere, including in MineCraft. With its help, you can create impeccable armor and sharp weapons; by enchanting the first and second, you will swim across the lava river and kill the end-dragon. By the way, the enchantment table and music box must be made using diamonds.

Extraction and storage

When using a pickaxe normally, only iron and gold will drop into a block of raw ore, but if the pickaxe has the “silk touch” enchantment, then the block of raw ore will drop anyway. This block can be melted in a furnace, but this action will bring only 1 ore (and using a pickaxe on redstone drops 3-4 pieces, on lapis lazuli - 4-6. This is useless and brings a loss, but it is better to know about it.

Also, from 9 identical ores (with the exception of coal and redstone), you can create a block of ethos ore. This is used for compact storage or for the construction of "expensive" buildings. Of course, ore blocks can be inverted back into ore.

The famous and beloved game all over the world, developed in the sandbox style, is gaining popularity at a frantic pace, delighting fans and loyal fans with various mods, additions, new products, applications and frequent updates. Each character is an individual who lives in a personal virtual world full of fantastic events, battles with insidious and terrible mobs, crafting various objects and things. The game will not let you get bored for a minute.

Everyone knows that in Minecraft you can do crafting, that is, you can make various blocks, elements, objects and things using a workbench and special ingredients. In Minecraft you can do whatever you want using various elements, for example: lapis lazuli.

What is lapis lazuli in Minecraft, and how can it be used to make new products? So, lapis lazuli is a special mineral that has a blue color. In the process of mining lapis lazuli in Minecraft, you can get about eight units of blue dye. This mineral is very convenient to use, since it does not need to be melted in a stove, so it can be sent to a workbench. Many users do not even try to look for such a mineral, because they do not know how it can be used for their own purposes.

Crafting items

Using lapis lazuli, you can make a huge number of amazing and useful items, but most often, this mineral is used as a dye. The ideal way to store an element is in blocks, as they are quite compact and will decorate your interior. You can also make a special material intended for construction, used for decorations and decorations.

Try mixing some shades of dyes to make interesting colors. The result is the following colors:

• blue;
• lilac;
• turquoise;
• violet.

Try to make stunning and incredibly beautiful blue glass. To craft such a component, you need to send a mineral and simple glass to a workbench. By using this type of glass you can add luxury, style and wealth to your buildings. To decorate your own home, you can try to create baked clay that has a rich blue tint. Send clay and mineral to the workbench and the result will be an excellent decoration item.

It should be remembered that such material can be used in enchantments, so do not think about throwing it around. Start searching for a useful and sought-after mineral that can be in demand in various branches of virtual life in Minecraft.

Lapis lazuli ore is a non-metallic ore that, when broken, contains ultramarine lapis lazuli itself and experience. Rare ore, complex fossil. Located one block at a time. It is very rare to find more than 1 block of this ore.

Lapis lazuli is a valuable ore, although it can even be mined with a stone pickaxe. Unless, of course, you find lapis lazuli at the very beginning of the game while you still don’t have a normal, at least iron, pickaxe. Lapis lazuli begins to occur at a depth of 31 blocks from the rock. Ultramarine also drops from lapis lazuli ore.

What is ultramarine?

Ultramarine is a dyeing material in Minecraft, used for dyeing wool to make multi-colored blocks, for crafting lapis lazuli block and for other recipes. Ultramarine drops in quantities from 4 to 8 pieces and is also a rare item (although personally, when I played without mods, I still had ultramarine if I wanted to row the boat :))

Previously, ultramarine only fell out in one piece, but it was recognized that this was the archimal. You can also extract ultramarine using silk touch, but this is nonsense.

Thus, lapis lazuli ore is almost as rare as diamond ore. Often found near her. Can be found near lava (I remember getting burned while mining a piece).

If you give any other advice, I would advise looking in the mountainous areas. Pound mountains horizontally and vertically :). In the mountains there are generally more chances to find normal resources, sometimes even the rarest ones come across. Before this, it’s generally better to place it under a mountain or near a mountain in any case. You will be a mountain king :). You can build a river there and generally do all the high-tech stuff.
