Terracotta

Terracotta is a block that is found abundantly in badlands biomes, or can be obtained by smelting clay. It can be dyed to create stained terracotta.

Breaking

Terracotta can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

Natural generation

Badlands Terracotta can be found naturally and abundantly in badlands biomes. Villages Terracotta can be found in desert villages, as a part of houses, lamps and meeting points.

Building

Terracotta has the same blast resistance as most other stone blocks, which is significantly higher than the block of clay before being smelted. A block of terracotta when one block away from a creeper or TNT explosion protects any blocks behind it, although the terracotta itself is destroyed.

Trivia

Despite the name change, in Bedrock Edition, normal terracotta's ID is still hardened_clay.
