Field guide

Item details

How to obtain

  • Found submerged in rivers, swamps, shallow oceans, and abundantly inside lush cave pools. Source
  • Can be manufactured renewable by placing mud on top of a dripstone block with pointed dripstone dripping beneath it. Source

Practical uses

  • Smelted directly in a furnace to produce unglazed terracotta blocks. Source
  • Breaking clay without Silk Touch yields four clay balls, which can be smelted into bricks for masonry. Source

Mechanics

  • Mines fastest with a shovel; Silk Touch is required to collect the clay block itself rather than four clay balls. Source
