Clay

Clay blocks are a type of block crafted from four balls of clay. Their appearance is similar to sand except for the color which is light-blue. Clay can be found on the surface in groups of varying number by a body of water.

Players can gather clay by using any type of tool, but shovels are the optimal choice. Destroying clay blocks will yield four balls of clay, and smelting clay balls will make bricks, which can later be made into  brick blocks. Clay is sometimes found underwater and can still be gathered if underwater. it also can be used to make back into a clay block.

A 2x2 grid of Clay balls will result in recreating a Clay Block.
