Overview
Calcite is a stone-family block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. It is gathered by mining rather than crafted. At a hardness of 0.75 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
It needs at least a wooden pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A blast resistance of 0.75 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It stacks to 64. Nothing is crafted from it.
