Contents
Natural generation[edit]
Purple glazed terracotta generates in some cold underwater ruins.
Yellow glazed terracotta generates in mason houses in savanna villages.
Orange glazed terracotta generates in savanna village armorer houses.
White glazed terracotta generates in some desert village buildings.
Lime glazed terracotta generates in one of the desert village temples.
Light Blue glazed terracotta generates in desert village toolsmith houses.

Trading[edit]
Expert-level stone mason villagers sell 1 of the 16 glazed terracotta for an emerald as part of their trades.
Usage[edit]
Due to its strikingly colorful appearance, glazed terracotta is primarily used for decoration. As a building material, its hardness is slightly less than stone, and its blast resistance is even lower than terracotta.
While glazed terracotta can be pushed by sticky pistons, slime blocks, and honey blocks, it is unique among blocks in that it cannot be pulled. It also does not stick to slime/honey blocks.
Placement[edit]
When placed, glazed terracotta's texture will rotate depending on the direction the player is facing. If several glazed terracotta blocks of the same color are placed in the "correct" orientation in a 2×2 or greater area, the textures will line up to create a singular image, as demonstrated in the image to the right.
The magenta glazed terracotta pattern includes an arrow (⬆) design which can be used to point to things or direct players. A guide is shown below, in order to correctly place the arrow direction (based on testing). "Facing" means where the player is relative to the front of the block being placed, such as 'below' means the player is below or roughly below the block.
Facing | Arrow direction |
---|---|
Front | Pointing left ◀ |
Left | Pointing down 🔻 |
Right | Pointing Up 🔼 |
Above | Pointing Down 🔻 |
Texture[edit]
Most textures have reflection symmetry along a diagonal line that goes from corner to corner, although the colors of individual pixels can differ slightly. Even the asymmetric textures mostly have their edges designed so that they can form decorative patterns.
Although the design of each individual glazed terracotta block is left to the player's interpretation, there are some obvious aspects in certain blocks:
- Magenta blocks contain an arrow.
- Cyan blocks contain a creeper face.
- Purple blocks contain the hilt of a sword and the head of a pickaxe.
