Guster Pottery Sherd
Guster Pottery Sherd is a non-renewable loot item (finite supply per world) brushed from suspicious gravel inside Minecraft 1.21 trial chambers.
Description
Like other sherds, the piece cannot be crafted and exists only as loot. It is used in the Decorated Pot recipe, placed with three other sherds or bricks in a plus shape around an empty centre, where each fragment's face is rendered on the side matching its slot. A Decorated Pot drops whole when broken by hand and breaks back into its component sherds when mined with any tool. The pot itself has a single-stack inventory slot and accepts hoppers above and below.

Minecraft 1.21 Guide
How to get a Guster Pottery Sherd in Minecraft
-
1
Find a trial chamber
Trial chambers are underground structures added in Minecraft 1.21; explore cave systems below the Overworld surface until you locate one built from tuff and copper blocks.
-
2
Spot the suspicious gravel
Suspicious gravel generates inside trial chambers, embedded in floors and corridors; the block has a slightly mottled look that distinguishes it from ordinary gravel.
-
3
Equip a brush
Craft a brush from one feather, one copper ingot, and one stick arranged in a vertical column, then hold it in your main hand.
-
4
Brush the block
Press use on suspicious gravel while holding the brush; after about four seconds the hidden item, possibly a Guster Pottery Sherd, is uncovered.
-
5
Imprint a Decorated Pot
Place the Guster Pottery Sherd in one of the four side slots around an empty centre of the crafting grid; its stylised face appears on the matching side of the Decorated Pot.
Guster Pottery Sherds are non-renewable; each world generates a limited number of trial chambers and suspicious gravel blocks. A second source exists, because about 1 in 13 decorated pots in trial chambers contains this sherd.
