Clay Ball

Clay is the item received after mining clay blocks. Each clay block yields four clay. Clay blocks are found in shallow water.

Usage
Clay can be crafted together to reform clay blocks or baked in a Furnace to create clay bricks. Clay bricks can then be crafted into brick blocks. As of now, a very abundant source of clay depositions are inside water sources in a Swamp biome.

Trivia

 * Pre-1.8, clay was a rare luxury material. The 1.8 update changed the rate of distribution, making it very common. Brick blocks are now a common building material.
