Clay is a type of block that can be mined into four balls of clay. Its appearance is similar to Stone except for the color, which is light-blue/gray. 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, which can be crafted back into a clay block. Clay balls can be smelted to make Bricks, which can later be made into Brick blocks. Clay is sometimes found underwater, or even under Sand, but they usually reside above Water and exposed.

Trivia

  • Clay can sometimes be a fairly rare resource. Sometimes if a normally generated map does not generate clay nearby, you may have to travel much farther to locate a supply.
