Cantazarite Ore cannot be mined by gold pickaxes to remain consistent with Minecraft - gold cannot mine above coal.
**Natural Generation (Ore)** Cantazarite Ore spawns naturally throughout the world - by default it can be found around y-levels **0-30** **Mining** In order to pick up the ore without breaking it, it must be mined using a pickaxe with the silk touch enchantment. Without silk touch, mining a block of Cantazarite Ore with a stone-tier or higher pickaxe will yield Cantazarite - each block will drop up to a maximum of nine 'shard' shaped Cantazarite, usually yielding a minimum of 6. These values are increased with the Fortune enchantment. When mining Cantazarite ore, a small amount of XP orbs are released, similar to mining coal, lapis lazuli, Redstone, diamond, emerald, nether quartz, and nether gold.  **Shown:** Cantazarite Ore next to Cantazarite (mined item). --- #### **Usage** **Smelting** Cantazarite can be smelted in a furnace into [Cantazarite Dye](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/page/cantazarite-dye), a component in [Cantazarite Potions](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/page/cantazarite-potion) or for use as an orange-dye substitute. **Crafting ingredient** Cantazarite is a component in crafting the [Cantazarite Anvil](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/cantazarite-anvil "Cantazarite Anvil"), [Cantazarite Block](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/cantazarite-block "Cantazarite Block"), or in an alternative recipe for Blaze Rods.  **Healing** Cantazarite heals damage (durability) in Amethyst tier [armor, tools and weapons](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/chapter/player) when combined together in a [Cantazarite Anvil](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/cantazarite-anvil). --- #### **Known Issues** If you find an issue, please report it to our bugs channel on [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/715626418893095012/898242623716855868).
