Lacrima Ore

Lacrima Ore is a block found underground. When mined, it will drop two to four Lacrima Shards, which are used to create Lacrima Crystals.

Obtaining
Lacrima Ore will drop two to four Lacrima Shards if mined by a Diamond Pickaxe or better. If mined by any other tool, it will drop nothing.

Natural Generation
Lacrima Ore only appears on the same layers as Diamond Ore (below Y level 16); however, it is more common. It is found in veins of one to 10. The highest concentration of Lacrima Ore occurs in levels 5-12. Because of the lava lakes, there is slightly less Lacrima Ore in the middle of that range (around layer 9).

Usage
Lacrima Ore drops two to four Lacrima Shards and three to seven experience when mined with a Diamond Pickaxe or better. Mining with a Fortune enchanted pickaxe will increase possible yields by one per level, reaching up to 16 Lacrima Shards per ore with level 3.

Smelting Ingredient

 * Lacrima Ore → Lacrima Shard

Trivia

 * Although Lacrima Ore can be smelted into Lacrima Shards, this method of obtaining them is highly inefficient. To obtain Lacrima Ore, Silk Touch is required, which is tedious to get itself. However, this is also inefficient due to the fact that the minimum amount of Lacrima Shards one ore can drop when mined is two, meaning you can get more than one every time you mine one ore.
