Calcite

The calcite block that was added to Minecraft in update v1.17 currently has no function other than being a decorative block. It is naturally generated in the mid layers of amethyst geodes right in between smooth basalt blocks and amethyst layers.

How to obtain a calcite block?


You can procure a calcite block by simply breaking it with the help of a pickaxe. If broken without a pickaxe or any other tool you will not get the block as it will just disappear without dropping anything. You can find calcite underground around amethyst geodes. They are a naturally generated part of the geode outer layers which are made of smooth basalt and calcite, with smooth basalt being the outermost layer. Calcite can also be found in the snowy peaks of mountains in strip formations.

What is the use of calcite blocks?


Currently, calcite blocks cannot be used for any specific things other than decoration.


Conclusion


Calcite is a brand new block, so its uses are limited as of right now but you can look forward to seeing what Mojang decides to do with it in order to make it more useful for players.
