Sulfur
Block Stack: 64 Since 26.2 (Chaos Cubed)
Quick answer: Mine it in sulfur caves, the cave biome added in 26.2: sulfur generates throughout the biome, in sulfur pools and around sulfur springs.
How to get it
- Mine it in sulfur caves, the cave biome added in 26.2: sulfur generates throughout the biome, in sulfur pools and around sulfur springs
- Craft a block from 4 sulfur spikes in a 2x2 pattern
- Any pickaxe works; mined by hand or with the wrong tool it drops nothing
Uses
- Building block with a strong yellow tone (shows yellow on maps)
- Cut the full decorative family at a stonecutter: sulfur slab, stairs and wall, polished sulfur (plus its slab/stair/wall), sulfur bricks (plus slab/stair/wall) and chiseled sulfur
Renewability
Yes.
Java vs Bedrock
Identical generation and variants in Java (26.2) and Bedrock (26.30). A short-lived snapshot recipe that crafted sulfur back from potent sulfur was removed before release and never shipped.
