Minecraft:Glazed Terracotta

Template:Infobox block Glazed terracotta is a vibrant Minecraft:solid block that comes in the sixteen regular Minecraft:dye colors, obtained by smelting Minecraft:stained terracotta. Glazed terracotta does not stick to Minecraft:slime blocks or Minecraft:honey blocks, and it cannot be pulled by Minecraft:sticky pistons, but it can be pushed by Minecraft:pistons.

Obtaining

Breaking

Glazed terracotta requires a Minecraft:pickaxe to be mined. When mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Purple glazed terracotta generates in some cold Minecraft:ocean ruins.

Yellow glazed terracotta generates in mason houses in Minecraft:savanna villages.

Orange glazed terracotta generates in savanna village armorer houses.

White glazed terracotta generates in some Minecraft:desert village buildings.

Lime glazed terracotta generates in one of the desert village temples.

Light blue glazed terracotta generates in toolsmith houses in desert villages.

Black, cyan, light blue, light gray, orange and yellow glazed terracotta can generate in Minecraft:trail ruins.

Red glazed terracotta generate in altar-like structures with Minecraft:ominous vaults within Minecraft:trial chambers.

Smelting

Glazed terracotta can be obtained by smelting any Minecraft:stained terracotta. Unstained terracotta cannot be smelted.

Usage

Sixteen sets of 16 terracotta tiles. The sets are arranged with 4 blocks of each color of terracotta in all 4 rotational patterns (From left to right, top to bottom, in clockwise order: up, right, down, left; left, up, right, down; right, down, left, up; down, left, up, right). The colors from left to right, top to bottom are cyan, pink, purple, red, lime, white, black, brown, green, light gray, gray, blue, yellow, orange, light blue and magenta.

All 16 terracotta colors in all 4 possible patterns.

Glazed terracotta does not stick to Minecraft:slime blocks or Minecraft:honey blocks, but unlike Minecraft:immovable blocks, it can be pushed by Minecraft:pistons and Minecraft:sticky pistons. It cannot be pulled by sticky pistons.

Placement

When placed, glazed terracotta's texture rotates relative to the direction the player is facing while placing the block. If several glazed terracotta blocks of the same color are placed in the "correct" orientation in a 2×2 or greater area, the textures align to create a singular image, as demonstrated in the image to the right.

The magenta glazed terracotta pattern includes an arrow (⬆) design that can be used to point to things or direct players. A guide is shown below, in order to correctly place the arrow direction (based on testing).

Facing	Arrow direction
Front	Pointing right ►
Left	Pointing down ▼
Right	Pointing up ▲
Above	Pointing down ▼

Glazed terracotta blocks are designed to form a larger, cohesive pattern when placed in the correct 2×2 configuration. Most textures have reflection symmetry along a diagonal line that goes from corner to corner, though the colors of individual pixels can differ slightly.

Although the design of each individual glazed terracotta block is up for interpretation, there are some intentional details in certain blocks:

• Magenta blocks contain directional arrows.
• Cyan blocks contain a Minecraft:creeper's face.
• Purple blocks contain the hilt and handguard of a Minecraft:sword.

History

Trivia

• According to Minecraft:Jens Bergensten, the inspiration for glazed terracotta blocks came from a Moroccan-styled bathroom floor at a hotel in California.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• Glazed terracotta blocks were designed by Minecraft:Johan Aronson.<ref name="redditsnapshot">Template:Reddit</ref>
• Glazed terracotta is a material that exists in real life, known as Template:W. It was used in historical buildings of the United States, UK, Canada, and Australia between the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its historical use was acknowledged by Minecraft:Duncan Geere in a Minecraft:Block of the Week article about glazed terracotta on Minecraft:Minecraft.net.<ref>https://www.minecraft.net/pt-br/article/block-week-glazed-terracotta%7C"And that's not the only building covered with the stuff. Many city buildings in the United States that date from between 1900 and 1930 are covered with glazed terracotta because it's sturdy, cheap and can easily be molded into pretty much whatever shape you'd like. Chicago, in particular, has loads of the stuff."</ref>
