Discover a new guide for Clay Minecraft Wiki. Clay is a mass that can be found abundantly in lush caves, in patches in shallow surface waters, or transformed from mud using pointed dripstones. It can be melted into terracotta or broken into clay balls that can be melted into bricks.

Break

Clay blocks can be mined with any item, but a shovel is the fastest. Destroying a block of clay will yield 4 clay balls. If damaged with a Silk Touch enchanted tool, it will fall off on its own. Destroying a block of clay with a Fortune-enchanted tool does not increase the amount of clay dropped.

Natural generation

Clay is created in large quantities on pond floors in lush caves.

Clay can also spawn in lush caves in the form of blobs. Clay tries to create 46 times each block in blobs of size 0-160, at any height. It can replace the stone, granite, andesite, diorite, polished granite‌[BE only], polished andesite‌[BE only], polished diorite‌, tuff‌ , and slate deep.

Clay is found underwater in swamps, beaches, oceans, and at the bottom of rivers and lakes in the form of shallow, crystalline discs, regardless of adjacency to other types of blocks.

Clay occurs in houses built in plains, savannas, and desert villages as well as under fishermen’s houses in taiga villages.

Looting from the crowd

An Enderman holding a block of clay will drop the block upon death.

Gifts for villagers

In Java Edition, when a player has the Village Hero status effect, a builder villager can throw that player a block of clay as a gift.

Post-generation

If mud is placed on top of a block with a pointed dripstone underneath, the mud will eventually turn into clay, even though the dripstone does not deposit water into the cauldron. This conversion does not occur in the Nether.

Anecdote

In fact, clay can actually be reddish brown rather than just gray and can often be found below the surface and away from sand. This color is expressed through the appearance of terracotta, bricks and flower pots.
