About Purple Terracotta
Purple terracotta is a dyed version of terracotta, the hardened clay block. It is a decorative building block with a muted purple tone that suits royal, fantasy, and modern builds.
Key facts:
- Mine it with a pickaxe; otherwise it drops nothing.
- It does not burn, so it is safe near fire or lava.
- It has the same blast resistance as regular terracotta.
Purple terracotta does not respond to redstone and cannot be recoloured after crafting.
How to get Purple Terracotta
You get purple terracotta by crafting it. Put eight terracotta blocks in a ring around one purple dye, and you will receive eight purple terracotta. Purple dye is crafted from red and blue dye.
Purple terracotta does not generate naturally, so crafting is the only way to obtain it in normal survival.
