Disambig color.svg This article is about the non-glazed block. For the smelted form, see Glazed Terracotta.

Terracotta is a block formed from clay, with a hardness and blast resistance comparable to stone. It can be colored in the same 16 colors that wool can be dyed, but more dulled and earthen.

Obtaining[edit]

Terracotta can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

Natural generation[edit]

Red, orange, yellow, brown, white, light gray, and uncolored terracotta can be found naturally in badlands biomes. This can yield massive amounts of terracotta. Blue and orange terracotta can also be found in small amounts in desert pyramids. Light blue is found in warm underwater ruins.

In Bedrock Edition and Java Edition, uncolored terracotta can be found in mason houses in plains villages and in some savanna and desert village houses. White terracotta can be found as a housing material in plains villages. Yellow, orange, and red terracotta generates in some houses in savanna villages. Green terracotta generates in the mason houses of desert villages.

Smelting[edit]

Ingredients Smelting recipe
Clay (block) +
Any fuel


Crafting[edit]

Ingredients Crafting recipe
Terracotta +
Matching Dye

Trading[edit]

Journeyman-level stone mason villagers sell one of 16 colored terracotta for one emerald per 4 terracotta as part of their trades.‌[Bedrock Edition only]

[more information needed for Java Edition]

Usage[edit]

Building[edit]

Terracotta has the same blast resistance as most other stone blocks, which is significantly higher than the block of clay before being smelted. A block of terracotta when one block away from an explosion will protect any blocks behind it, though it will be destroyed in the process.
