What is Magenta Terracotta?
Magenta terracotta is a solid building block that comes in a bright pink-purple color. You can craft it by combining terracotta with magenta dye. Each crafting session makes 8 blocks at once, so it’s pretty efficient if you need a lot for a build.
How to Craft Magenta Terracotta
What You’ll Need
- 8 Terracotta blocks
- 1 Magenta Dye
The Crafting Process
Put your materials on a crafting table in this pattern:
- Top row: 3 terracotta blocks
- Middle row: 1 terracotta, 1 magenta dye in the center, 1 terracotta
- Bottom row: 3 terracotta blocks
The magenta dye goes in the middle. Once you set it up right, you’ll get 8 magenta terracotta blocks as output. Move them to your inventory and you’re done.
