About Black Terracotta

Black Terracotta is the black-dyed form of terracotta, a solid building block made from hardened clay. It is mostly used for dark floors, roofs, walls, and path edges. It has no storage or crafting interface, and it is not a light source.

Key facts:

  • It is a full, solid block that is not affected by gravity.
  • You need a pickaxe to mine it and get the block back.
  • It behaves like regular terracotta, just with a deep black colour.

How to get Black Terracotta

You get Black Terracotta by crafting it. Place eight regular terracotta and one black dye anywhere in a crafting grid to make eight Black Terracotta. Regular terracotta is made by smelting clay blocks in a furnace, and black dye can come from an ink sac or a wither rose. Black Terracotta is not found naturally, so crafting is the main way to obtain it.
