Light Blue Glazed Terracotta
Light Blue Glazed Terracotta is a glossy decorative block made by furnace-smelting light blue terracotta (dye-stained hardened clay), used for ornate tiled floors and walls.
Description
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.

How to Get Light Blue Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft
-
1
Collect plain terracotta
Mine terracotta in a badlands biome, or smelt clay blocks in a furnace — each clay block becomes one terracotta.
-
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
Smelt the light blue terracotta
Put light blue terracotta in a furnace with any fuel; every smelt yields 1 Light Blue Glazed Terracotta.
-
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
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.
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.
