This article is about the crafted block. For the item, see Brick (Item). For the brick made from Stone, see Stone Brick. For the brick in the Nether, see Nether Brick.

Brick is a decorative building block that does not naturally spawn anywhere. It is mostly used to make nice looking homes and towers. Since brick is non-flammable, it is often used to make fireplaces. Brick resists explosions no better than cobblestone. A pickaxe must be used to recover the resource of a placed block, but it will take under a second to break. Breaking a block with the player's hand is slow and will not yield the resource.

Clay's only current usage is to be made into bricks or clay blocks, as breaking clay drops 4 clay balls, which can then be smelted into clay bricks. The 4 clay bricks can then be crafted into one brick block. This means that for each clay block found in a map, players can make 1 brick block.

History

Classic
0.26 (October 24, 2009)Bricks are added and have a bright red texture - File:Brick (Block)-Pre Alpha 1.0.11.png
Infdev
???For a brief time, huge brick pyramids were a rare structure that could spawn. See 1, 2 and 3 to see the pyramids and exploration of them. The pyramids were completely solid; they had no inside rooms. A strange quality about these pyramids is that if one dug under it, a layer of dirt and stone extended under the pyramid. This suggests it spawned right on top of the terrain instead of being a complete pyramid with the bottom parts underground. Pyramids were removed in later versions of Infdev.
Alpha
1.0.11Craftable brick blocks are added. Bricks have a new texture: File:Brick (Block)-Pre Beta 1.7.png. The Brick item is also added.
Beta
