Terracotta

Terracotta (known as hardened clay in New Nintendo 3DS Edition and previously in other editions) is a block formed from clay, with a hardness and blast resistance comparable to stone. It can be colored in the same 16 colors that wool can be dyed, although the color is tinted orange. The dyed version is known as stained clay in New Nintendo 3DS Edition, and was previously named this in other editions.

Obtaining
Terracotta can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing.

Natural generation
Red, orange, yellow, brown, white, light gray, and uncolored terracotta can be found naturally in badlands biomes. This yields a large quantity of terracotta. Blue and orange terracotta can also be found in desert temples. Light blue will be generated in underwater ruins.

Crafting
Once terracotta has been dyed, the color cannot be changed or removed.

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 meter away from an explosion will protect any blocks behind it, though it will be destroyed in the process.
