The '''Deepslate Crystal Core''' is the central block of a [[Type Gems|Type Gem]] crystal formation. It grows attached '''Type Gem Buds''' into '''Type Gem Clusters''' which eventually mature into '''Type Gem Blocks'''.

==Natural Generation==
'''Deepslate Crystal Cores''' generate as part of [[Type Gems#Natural_Generation|underground '''Type Gem''' crystal formations]] naturally found in air-exposed Deepslate caves throughout the Overworld.

==Usage==
===Type Gem Growth===
The '''Deepslate Crystal Core''' periodically grows attached '''Type Gems''' into '''Type Gem Buds''', which mature into '''Type Gem Clusters''' before blossoming into new '''Type Gem Blocks''' which produce their own buds, repeating the cycle.

A single core can support up to 7 connected Type Gem Blocks. Once this limit is reached, clusters will no longer blossom into new blocks until an existing block is mined.

==Obtaining==
===Mining===
Deepslate Crystal Cores can be mined and collected to be placed elsewhere using an [[minecraftwiki:Iron_Pickaxe|Iron Pickaxe]] or better.
