From SAS Gaming Wiki
Revision as of 15:50, 9 April 2026 by SyncBot (talk | contribs) (Remove broken links to missing pages)

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

Yellow glazed terracotta generates in mason houses in savanna villages.

Orange glazed terracotta generates in savanna village armorer houses.

White glazed terracotta generates in some 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 trail ruins.

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

Smelting

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 slime blocks or honey blocks, but unlike immovable blocks, it can be pushed by Minecraft:pistons and 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).

Texture

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

Note blocks

All types of glazed terracotta can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb glazed terracotta, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
