Description

Light Blue Glazed Terracotta is a decorative block obtained by smelting light blue terracotta in a furnace. Light blue terracotta is crafted from 8 terracotta surrounding 1 light blue dye, while plain terracotta generates abundantly in badlands biomes or smelts from clay. Any pickaxe mines Light Blue Glazed Terracotta; a block broken without a pickaxe drops nothing. Light Blue Glazed Terracotta has a hardness of 1.4, a blast resistance of 1.4, and a stack size of 64. Light Blue Glazed Terracotta also generates in toolsmith houses in desert villages and can generate in trail ruins.

When placed, Light Blue Glazed Terracotta rotates its texture to face the player, so four same-color blocks in the correct orientation across a 2×2 area merge into a single image. Expert-level mason villagers sell glazed terracotta of any color for 1 emerald, which makes Light Blue Glazed Terracotta a renewable block. Glazed terracotta does not stick to slime blocks or honey blocks, can be pushed by pistons, but cannot be pulled by sticky pistons. Light Blue Glazed Terracotta is not flammable and is not destroyed by lava, so the tile suits decor beside lava and fire.

Guide

How to Get Light Blue Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Collect plain terracotta

    Mine terracotta in a badlands biome, or smelt clay blocks in a furnace — each clay block becomes one terracotta.

  2. 2

    Dye the terracotta light blue

    Place 8 terracotta in a ring around 1 light blue dye on a crafting table to craft 8 light blue terracotta.

  3. 3

    Smelt the light blue terracotta

    Put light blue terracotta in a furnace with any fuel; every smelt yields 1 Light Blue Glazed Terracotta.

  4. 4

    Mine the block with a pickaxe

    Break Light Blue Glazed Terracotta with any pickaxe to collect the block; breaking the block without a pickaxe drops nothing.

  5. 5

    Or buy from a mason villager

    Raise a mason villager to expert level and buy glazed terracotta of any color for 1 emerald — the mason keeps 12 in stock.

Align the pattern

A placed Light Blue Glazed Terracotta rotates with the direction the player faces, so lay same-color blocks in a 2×2 grid with matching orientation to form one continuous pattern.
