Chiseled Cinnabar

Chiseled Cinnabar is a decorative block belonging to the cinnabar family, featuring a distinctive chiseled patterned texture that sets it apart from its smoother relatives. It serves purely aesthetic purposes, making it a popular choice for builders who want to add visual variety and detail to their structures.

Chiseled Cinnabar can be obtained by mining it with any pickaxe. Attempting to break it without a pickaxe will not yield the block, so it is worth keeping a pickaxe on hand. It has a hardness of 1.5 and a blast resistance of 6, giving it modest durability against explosions. The block does not emit light, is not flammable, and is not renewable, meaning players must gather it from its natural source rather than farming it indefinitely.

Crafting Chiseled Cinnabar requires stacking two cinnabar slabs vertically in a crafting grid. It can also be produced through a stonecutter using cinnabar directly. In Bedrock Edition, polished cinnabar and cinnabar bricks are additional valid inputs for the stonecutting recipe, offering more flexibility when working with existing materials.

When Chiseled Cinnabar is placed beneath a note block, it produces a bass drum sound, which can be useful for players building musical contraptions or redstone-based instruments. It also carries the 'Slow Bouncy' sulfur cube archetype, a subtle mechanical property that may affect certain in-game interactions.
