Thermal Calcite is a block added by Biomes O' Plenty that generates in the underwater floor of the Hot Springs biome. It is a pickaxe-mined variant of calcite that a player can convert into a Thermal Calcite Vent, a hazardous block that damages living entities that step on it. It is found on the floor of hot spring water.
Obtaining
Thermal Calcite generates naturally. Its worldgen feature is disk_hot_spring_thermal_calcite, which is placed in the Hot Springs biome (Hot Springs). The feature makes up to 100 placement attempts per chunk, and each attempt is kept only where the column is water, so the disks form on the sea floor under the hot spring water. Each disk has a radius of 3 to 5 blocks and a half-height of 1, and it replaces dirt, coarse dirt, podzol, grass block, sand, gravel, clay, andesite, granite, diorite, stone, packed mud, smooth basalt and calcite blocks.
Thermal Calcite is mined with a pickaxe, which is required. It has a hardness of 0.75 and a blast resistance of 0.75. Its loot table drops one Thermal Calcite block when it is broken, and the block survives explosions.

Usage
Distance states
Thermal Calcite has a distance property with values from 1 to 5. The value updates every tick based on the nearest water, lava, ice or magma block, which counts as distance 0. Each block away from those sources adds 1, and the value is capped at 5. A block touching water has distance 1, and calcite with no such source nearby stays at 5, which is also the value given to naturally generated blocks. The distance changes only the block model and texture, and it has no effect on gameplay. The property is kept when a block is converted into a vent.
Where a full water source sits directly above the block, bubble particles rise from its surface.
Thermal Calcite Vent
A Thermal Calcite Vent is made by right-clicking a Thermal Calcite block while holding a pickaxe. The block becomes a vent with the same distance value, the calcite break sound plays, and the pickaxe takes 1 point of durability damage. Only Thermal Calcite can be converted this way.
The vent is a hazard:
- When a living entity that is not fire-immune steps on it, the vent deals 1.0 damage (half a heart) with the
biomesoplenty:fumaroledamage type. The same damage type is used by Brimstone Fumaroles. - It emits steam particles upward.
- Mobs treat it as non-pathable and do not walk onto it.
- Breaking it with a pickaxe drops the Thermal Calcite Vent item, and the block survives explosions.
