About Bricks

Bricks is a solid building block with a classic red-brown brick pattern. It is mainly decorative, but it is also the starting point for brick slabs, stairs, and walls. You can make those in a crafting table or a stonecutter.

Key facts:

  • A solid, non-flammable block with no special interaction or redstone behaviour.
  • Used mainly for building, or for cutting into slabs, stairs, and walls.
  • Pairs well with wood and terracotta for older-looking builds.

How to get Bricks

You craft one Bricks block from four brick items in a 2x2 pattern. Brick items come from smelting clay balls in a furnace. Clay blocks are common in shallow water, rivers, and lush caves, and mason villagers sometimes sell brick items. Gathering a batch is usually straightforward, since the raw material is easy to find.
