Desert Clay
With the aid of Cartograph I've gone clay hunting, and I've found some under water and partially covered by sand. IChrisI 21:23, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

With the aid of Cartograph I've gone clay hunting, and I've found 3 on land and 18 underwater. How is clay "usually" above water and exposed? Also, does desert sand count as sand where clay can spawn or only coastal sand? I've looked but I've never found desert clay... Retep998 22:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

I've definitely found desert clay... the seed 'Ocean' gives an enormous desert. At coordinates 94/75/274, there's a clay patch with 54 clay blocks. The nearest water is in a small open-air cave/lake at 126/71/277. Maramros 20:04, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Clay does spawn in deserts (see picture). Shouldn't we include it on the main page? --Danny Ufonek 21:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Maramros, there is also about 20 blocks south, another patch half underwater, around 20-40 blocks. Jedi in, um, I forgot. 11:04, 11 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I just checked the 1.5_01 source code; clay does not make any check whatsoever for water. It simply picks a random area, and replaces all sand blocks in the area with clay. - Alphap T ~ C 01:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Clay near surface lava pools?
I think it's possible that clay is equally likely to be found near lava pools as it is on the edge of bodies of water. In Paulsoares's Man vs Minecraft video, you can clearly see clay near a lava pool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkhxx-Vp6Ww#t=9m12s

Since clay is rare to begin with, i haven't been able to find a lava pool with clay on my map; has anyone else seen this? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by ThePirateKing (Talk 08:00, 28 January 2011. Please sign your posts with !


 * Hmm, are you sure that's not rock? --Gnu32 09:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I have actually found clay in an underground cave next to gravel and water, was very suprised, will provide screenie soon, oh wait, nvm, was a mod Stepanma01 07:58, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Gravel Relation
Don't know if this as a glitch or not but was underground on a server placed ended up getting trapped by a river tried to place a gravel block in front of the hole the water came out but hit next to the flow then blocked the flow but when i reclaimed my gravel it had turned to clay. --Daveie 11:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I just did some research: this is done by the server mod mcMMO. —KPReid 15:50, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Can those who are adding the claim of water + gravel = clay to the page PLEASE provide evidence on a mod-free copy of Minecraft of this? I am unable to replicate that claim. CobraA1 20:51, 24 April 2011 (UTC)


 * As mentioned above, this is a result of a server mod. Gordenfreechmen 20:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Glitch?
On a 1.6.6 multiplayer server i was walking in a straight line (matching x and z coordinates) and found a small section of clay. There was only about 2 pieces of actual clay, but as i continued to break the sand looking for more, it would turn into clay pieces. Is this a bug?
