'''Bricks''' are a decorative building [[Minecraft:block]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Bricks can be mined using any [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Bricks|Pickaxe|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===
Bricks naturally generate in [[Minecraft:ocean ruins]], [[Minecraft:plains]] [[Minecraft:village]] armorer houses, and [[Minecraft:trail ruin]]s.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

|B2= Brick
|A3= Brick
|B3= Brick
|Output= Bricks
|type= Building block
}}

== Usage ==
Bricks have the same blast resistance as other [[Minecraft:stone]]-based [[Minecraft:block]]s.

=== Stonecutting ingredient ===

|Brick Slab, 2; Brick Stairs; Brick Wall
}}

=== Note blocks ===
Bricks can be placed under [[Minecraft:note block]]s to produce bass drum sounds.

=== Sulfur cube ===
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb bricks, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
