Question

Is there lapiz near redstone or diamonds?

Community Answer

Not specifically, it is found on similar levels. I personally suggest draining lava from a cave, as lava pits reveal more space, and if it can be drained your sure to be more likely to find something.

Question

Can I mine Lapis Lazuli with any other pickaxes?

Odin 4878

Community Answer

You can mine it with a stone pickaxe, but that's about it. Gold is too weak, and so is wood, so stone and up.

Question

How do I find lapis lazuli without going into a cave?

Community Answer

You can find it within chests in the Overworld, and maybe the Nether. Other than that though, mining for lapis will be the quickest and easiest way.

Question

What is the easiest way to find lapis lazuli on what level?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

The easiest way to find lapis lazuli is by mining to levels 0-30 for it. However, if there are any shipwrecks, mineshafts, or villages near you, it is a good idea to check those out for any lapis lazuli in their chests. Lapis lazuli ore generates from Y-levels 0-30.

Question

Can I make a farm for lapis lazuli?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

Yes, it is possible to make a farm for lapis lazuli. Cleric villagers may sell lapis lazuli for emeralds, so you can set up a big farm to get large amounts of items which you can then sell to other villagers for emeralds and then buy lapis from a cleric. Additionally, you could also set up a pillager/raid farm, as cleric villagers can give you free lapis when you have the Hero of the Village effect.

Question

Can lapis be found near diamond level?

Caleb Chen

Community Answer

Sources. Mining - Lapis lazuli ore is most commonly found on layer 14. The ores usually spawn near diamond ore. ... If the ore is mined by a pickaxe enchanted with silk touch, then the ore will have to be smelted in a furnace or blast furnace.

How far should I dig in order to get Lapis Lazuli in Minecraft?

Dig to level 17-19. If you are lucky, find a ravine as the lapis is usually the same level as the bottom of ravines.
