Obtaining

Clay generates under the ground in areas with a Rainfall value of at least 500. Breaking clay blocks with a shovel yields one to three clay items.

Clay is relatively common, but can be covered in grass, making it difficult to spot. Clay deposits can be located by the existence of Golden Rod flowers on the surface . Even if the Rainfall value in an area is too low for clay, riverbeds can generate clay.

There is also a small chance of one clay ball dropping when a dirt block is broken.

Usage

Clay is primarily used in the creation of Pottery. Most clay items need to be fired in a Pit Kiln or Kiln. Clay objects are created using an interface similar to knapping. To open this interface, right-click with a stack of 5 or more clay.

Trivia

• Both clay and clay grass blocks are not affected by gravity, meaning that it is possible to dig into the side of a clay deposit to make a small starting shelter.
