oh and im reporting it as an bug, becouse if you google dripstone,
multiple articles come up that says stalagtites and stalagmites are formed with water OR lava source block above the dripstone
the lava flows through it in the cauldron, just like the water.
so it would be logical to me that that forms pillars to with lava
its not about the dripping in a cauldron, lava particles when lava is above it and makig lava, and in overworld water above with cauldron making lava, that part works fine,
its about the growing of the pointed dripstone itself. the stalagtites dont grow when a lava source is above them, instead of a water source.
so now its not possible to grow dripstone in the nether.
i was pointing out and hoped that it can be changed, so you would be able to grow it in the nether
i have the same isue, hope its getting fixed soon
even with no blocks above and to the sides, they are not eating wile in the water stream
so,, as its atented for now, how can you submit an feature sugestion? becouse its realy a shame i cant farm it now with my nether challange world. (specialy, slightly salty after googling if it worked with lava, and then spending almost all my resources making a farm with 276 observers and hoppers)
