Description

The Heart Pottery Sherd is one of the decorative archeology items added with the Trails & Tales update. It is obtained exclusively by using a brush on suspicious gravel found inside Trail Ruins structures, and cannot be crafted, smelted, or traded. The face of the sherd shows a single large, stylised heart, commonly read as a symbol of love, devotion, or affection between players or characters.

Like every sherd, the Heart Pottery Sherd is used as an ingredient for a Decorated Pot. The recipe places four items — sherds or plain bricks — in a plus shape around an empty center of the crafting grid; each sherd appears on the side of the pot that matches its slot, so up to four different designs can be combined on a single pot. A Decorated Pot has a one-stack inventory slot and accepts hoppers both above and below, making it usable for light automation as well as decoration. When broken with bare hands the pot drops whole, but breaking it with any tool shatters it back into the individual sherds and bricks, so the heart design can be recovered and reused.
