=== Breaking ===
When a [[Minecraft:decorated pot]] is broken with a [[Minecraft:pickaxe]], [[Minecraft:axe]], [[Minecraft:shovel]], [[Minecraft:hoe]], [[Minecraft:mace]], or [[Minecraft:sword]] that is ''not'' enchanted with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], it drops all of the pottery sherds and [[Minecraft:brick]]s used to craft it. If it is broken with your fist or tools enchanted with Silk Touch the pot itself will drop.

=== Generated loot ===
Pottery sherds can be found as [[Minecraft:suspicious sand]] or [[Minecraft:suspicious gravel]] loot in [[Minecraft:trail ruins]], [[Minecraft:ocean ruins]], [[Minecraft:desert pyramid]]s, and [[Minecraft:desert well]]s, and can be extracted from these blocks using a [[Minecraft:brush]].

=== Natural generation ===
