Template:Infobox block Template:Relevant tutorial Clay is a block that can be found abundantly in Minecraft:lush caves, in patches in shallow surface water or converted from Minecraft:mud using Minecraft:pointed dripstone. It can be Minecraft:smelted into Minecraft:terracotta or broken into Minecraft:clay balls which are smeltable into Minecraft:bricks.
Obtaining
Breaking
Clay blocks can be mined with any item, but Minecraft:shovels are quickest. Destroying a clay block yields 4 Minecraft:clay balls. If broken with a tool enchanted with Minecraft:Silk Touch, it drops itself instead. Destroying a clay block with a tool enchanted with Minecraft:Fortune does not increase the amount of clay dropped. Template:Breaking row
Natural generation
Clay generates in large quantities on the floors of ponds in Minecraft:lush caves.
Clay can also generate in lush caves in the form of blobs. Clay attempts to generate 46 times per Minecraft:chunk in blobs of size 0-160, at any height. It can replace Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, polished graniteTemplate:Only, polished andesiteTemplate:Only, polished dioriteTemplate:Only, Minecraft:tuffTemplate:Only, and Minecraft:deepslateTemplate:Only.
Clay is found underwater in shallow, crystal-shaped Minecraft:disks, replacing Minecraft:dirt that generates in shallow Minecraft:rivers, lakes, and Minecraft:oceans in most grassy biomes. Few blocks of the disk can also generate above water, or under other water sources than the sea level.
Clay generates in mason houses in Minecraft:plains, Minecraft:savanna, and Minecraft:desert Minecraft:villages, and under fisher cottages in Minecraft:taiga villages.
Clay generates in Minecraft:abandoned camps.Template:Upcoming
Mob loot
An Minecraft:enderman holding a clay block drops the block upon death.
Generated loot
Crafting
Villager gifts
Template:See also Template:IN, when the player has the Minecraft:Hero of the Village status effect, a mason Minecraft:villager might throw that player a clay block as a gift.
Post-generation
If Minecraft:mud is placed above a block with a Minecraft:pointed dripstone hanging underneath, the mud eventually turns into clay, although the dripstone does not deposit any water into a Minecraft:cauldron. This conversion does not happen in Minecraft:the Nether.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Usage
Minecraft:Big dripleaves, Minecraft:small dripleaves, mangrove propagules, Minecraft:azaleas and Minecraft:flowering azaleas are the only plants that can be placed on clay. Unlike most other blocks, clay supports small dripleaves even outside of Minecraft:water.
When an azalea or flowering azalea placed on a block of clay is grown into an Minecraft:azalea tree, the clay block turns into Minecraft:rooted dirt.

Trivia
- In real life, clay can actually be reddish-brown, not just gray, and can often be found under the surface and away from sand. This color is reflected in the appearance of Minecraft:terracotta, Minecraft:bricks, and Minecraft:flower pots.
