Terracotta Wiki Guide

In Minecraft, terracotta (or hardened clay) is one of the many building blocks that you can make.

Let’s explore how to make terracotta in a furnace.

Java Edition (PC/Mac)	1.19.3 – 1.19.4	Colored Blocks

• Platform is the platform that applies.

Required Materials to make Terracotta

In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft terracotta:

1 Clay Block

How to craft Terracotta in Survival Mode

1. Open the Furnace Menu

First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:

2. Add Fuel to the Furnace

Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.

In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.

TIP: Read our tutorial called How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren’t sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.

3. Add Items to make Terracotta

Next, place the block of clay in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the block of clay.

Once the block of clay is cooked in the furnace, the terracotta will appear in the box to the right.

4. Move the Terracotta to Inventory

Now that you have made terracotta in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made terracotta in Minecraft!
