Description
Lime Terracotta is a dyed clay block with a muted, earthy green tone, crafted by surrounding one lime dye with eight terracotta in a crafting grid, yielding eight blocks at once. It can also be obtained by dyeing any colored clay variant along the same path, and rare bands of it appear naturally among the layered strata of badlands biomes. With a hardness of 1.25 and a blast resistance of 4.2, the block is noticeably sturdier than wool, mined fastest with a pickaxe and dropping itself when broken. Smelted in a furnace, it transforms into Lime Glazed Terracotta, a decorative variant marked by an ornamental glaze pattern, which makes the dyed form a popular choice for warm interior walls, mesa-themed structures, and pottery builds.

How to craft and use Lime Terracotta in Minecraft
-
1
Gather terracotta
Mine terracotta blocks from Badlands biomes where they generate in large quantities, or craft your own by smelting clay blocks — one clay block yields 1 terracotta in any furnace.
-
2
Obtain lime dye
Craft lime dye by combining one cactus green dye and one bone meal (white dye) in a crafting grid. Alternatively, find lime dye in shipwreck supply chests or buy it from a wandering trader.
-
3
Craft Lime Terracotta
Open the crafting table, place 1 lime dye in the center slot, and fill the remaining 8 slots with terracotta blocks. This crafts 8 Lime Terracotta at once — the same 1:8 ratio applies to every terracotta color variant.
-
4
Smelt for the glazed variant
Place Lime Terracotta in a furnace with any fuel to produce Lime Glazed Terracotta, which features a decorative swirling glaze pattern. The glazed variant adds an ornamental touch to pottery-themed and Badlands-inspired builds.
Tip
You can re-dye any existing colored terracotta variant using the same crafting pattern — place 8 colored terracotta around 1 lime dye to convert them all to Lime Terracotta.

Frequently asked questions
How do you craft Lime Terracotta in Minecraft?
Place 1 lime dye in the center of a crafting table and surround it with 8 terracotta blocks. This yields 8 Lime Terracotta at once. The same recipe works with any colored terracotta variant as the starting material.
Where does Lime Terracotta spawn naturally?
Lime Terracotta occurs in rare colored bands within Badlands biomes, alongside orange, red, and other dyed terracotta variants. These bands run through the exposed stratified mesa layers.
What is the blast resistance of Lime Terracotta?
Lime Terracotta has a blast resistance of 4.2 and a hardness of 1.25. It resists explosions better than wool and most wood blocks. A pickaxe mines it fastest, though it drops itself without one too.
How do you make Lime Glazed Terracotta?
Smelt Lime Terracotta in any furnace using any fuel source. One Lime Terracotta smelts into one Lime Glazed Terracotta, which displays a decorative swirling glaze pattern on its surface.
Can you re-dye Lime Terracotta to another color?
Yes. Place 8 Lime Terracotta blocks around a different dye in a crafting table to convert all 8 to that new color. You can also dye any other colored terracotta into Lime Terracotta using lime dye in the same pattern.
