Hardened clay is a block with a blast resistance comparable to that of stone-based blocks. It serves no purpose but as a decorative building material and as a moderate blast-resistant material. Hardened clay can be obtained by smelting clay blocks.

Behavior

Hardened clay has the same blast resistance as most other stone blocks, which is significantly higher than the block of clay it's made from after being smelted. A block of hardened clay one meter away from an explosion will protect any blocks behind it, though it will be destroyed in the process.

Stained Clay

Stained Clay, also known as Stained Hardened Clay, is a colored variation of hardened clay. It is available in the same 16 colors that wool can be dyed, although the shading of the color is less vibrant. Nevertheless, stained clay is a beneficial alternative to colored wool, due to its smoother and softer texture when used in building structures, the fact that fire does not spread when struck by lightning or set on fire, as well as its greater blast resistance. Dyed clay cannot be recolored.

A '''tool''' is an [[item]] used by the [[player]] while held to perform actions faster and more efficiently, to gather materials not obtainable by hand, to gain information, or to perform completely new actions. With the exception of the [[clock]], [[compass]], empty [[bucket]], and [[lead]], tools do not stack in the inventory. Tools can be repaired; see [[Item repair]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===
{{main|Drops#Mob drops|title1=Drops}}
Some tools can be obtained by killing mobs that carry the equipment.

=== Crafting ===
Most tools can be obtained through crafting.
{{:Crafting/Tools}}

=== Upgrading ===
[[Netherite]] tools can be obtained only through upgrading.

{{Smithing
|head=1
|Netherite Upgrade
|Diamond Pickaxe; Diamond Axe; Diamond Shovel; Diamond Hoe
|Netherite Ingot
|Netherite Pickaxe; Netherite Axe; Netherite Shovel; Netherite Hoe
}}

== Usage ==
=== Best tools ===
{{main|Breaking#Best tools|title1=Breaking}}

Many blocks have a preferred tool to break them. Some blocks can be broken only with certain tools. The tool's material also affects how fast a block is mined. Materials from worst to best in terms of mining speed are wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite, gold.

=== Item durability ===
{{main|Durability}}

Different tools have different amounts of durability. Some uses require more durability to be used than others. A tool's durability is also affected by its material. Materials from worst to best in terms of durability are gold, wooden, stone, iron, diamond, netherite.

Some tools are not block-breaking tools: This includes bows, fishing rods, carrots on sticks, flint & steel, and buckets. Such tools are no better than bare fists at breaking blocks, but they do not take damage from doing so—they take damage from being used in their own intended manners.

=== Item enchantability ===
Materials from worst to best in terms of [[enchantability]] are stone, diamond, iron, wooden/netherite, gold.

=== Smelting ===
{{main|Smelting}}

Iron or golden tools can be smelted into [[nugget]]s.
{{Smelting|showname=1|head=1|Any iron tools|Iron Nugget|0,1}}
{{Smelting|showname=1|foot=1|Any golden tools|Gold Nugget|0,1}}

; Fuel
* Wooden tools can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1 item per tool.
* A [[fishing rod]] can be used as fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5{{only|java|short=1}}/1{{only|bedrock|short=1}} items per fishing rod.

* Gold tools are actually ranked as superior to diamond tools on the [[Legacy Console Edition]]'s crafting screen.
* Wooden tools can be burned in a furnace regardless of its durability; this means the player can burn a wooden tool that has only 1 use left.

A '''spider eye''' is a poisonous [[food]] and [[brewing]] item.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

==== Spiders ====
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s have a {{frac|1|3}} chance of dropping a [[spider eye]] when killed by a player or tamed wolf, but not when killed by environmental damage (such as falling). The maximum amount of spider eyes is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]]. The chance of a spider '''not''' dropping any spider eyes can be found using the formula <code>2 / (Looting Level + 3)</code>. For example, Looting III gives a {{frac|1|3}} chance of not dropping any spider eyes. All other amounts have an equal chance of occurring.

==== Witches ====

[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–6 spider eyes upon death. This is increased by 3 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0-15 spider eyes.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|spider-eye}}

== Usage ==

=== Food ===
When [[Food|eaten]], a spider eye restores {{hunger|2}} [[Hunger|hunger points]] and 3.2 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation points]], giving a nourishment value of 1.6. It also applies a [[Poison]] [[effect]] lasting 5 seconds to the player, causing {{hp|4|poisoned=1}} damage, which reduces hunger/saturation by 6 points.

Trivia

  • Hardened clay was originally suggested by a YouTuber, BlameTC, to be similar to Native American Pueblos.[1]
  • Stained clay has the same blast resistance as ordinary hardened clay.
  • Hardened clay placed against TNT will protect any block behind it from the explosion, but will be destroyed in the process.
  • Because hardened clay has a dark, tan base color, most of the dyed colors of stained clay has a slightly brownish mix to them.
