Obtaining
Mud is crafted by dropping and equal number of dirt and straw, and then pouring water from a bucket, such as the Ceramic Bucket, onto the items. 1 straw and 1 dirt will give 2 mud. A bucket of water can turn 32 dirt and 32 straw into 64 mud.
Usage
Mud can be used to create stone-age building blocks, making it useful for making early game shelters when more advanced materials such as wood or stone are not available.
Both types of Mud building blocks can be Plastered to make them harder to break, and in the case of Mudbrick, resistant to rain.
Mudbrick
Mudbrick is one of the two building blocks crafted from Mud. Mudbrick will turn back into dirt when wet. For this reason, it is advisable to cover the Mudbricks with a Roof of some sort.

The first step in crafting Mudbrick is to craft Mud Bricks by placing Mud in a crafting slot. Then, the Mud Bricks must be dried by shift and right clicking it onto a block exposed to the sun. Mud Bricks will only dry in the day (between 6 AM and 6 PM).
After the mud brick is dried, it can be harvested instantly by left-clicking the block. The dried mud brick can now be used to craft Mudbrick. Since Mud is sensitive to moistness, even if it is dried, it cannot be used for creating a Food Preparation surface.[1]

The Wattle can now be placed down where the Wattle and Daub blocks should be. Mud can now be applied to the Wattle by holding it and right-clicking.
Trivia
Though the in-game name for this item is mud, its crafting recipe resembles the real life building material cob, which is a mixture of soil and fiberous organic materials (such as straw).
