Mud Bricks
Mud Bricks are earthy brownish-grey blocks crafted from packed mud — a 1.19 material that brings warm organic texture to any build.
Description
The finished material is a warm mottled brownish-grey that sits between coarse dirt and chiseled terracotta in texture — rough enough to look hand-formed, crisp enough to read as a finished wall. The standard variant set is available: slabs, stairs, and walls, giving full architectural flexibility. The colour pairs cleanly with acacia wood, sandstone, and raw stone for desert-village or Mesoamerican themes; with mangrove wood and moss for swamp aesthetics; and with bone block for a sun-bleached look. In the game's natural architecture, mud bricks appear in the trail ruins and in some mangrove-swamp village variants.

How to Craft and Use Mud Bricks in Minecraft
-
1
Find or create mud
Mud generates naturally on the surface of mangrove swamp biomes. Outside those biomes, right-click any dirt or rooted-dirt block with a filled Water Bottle to convert it into mud instantly.
-
2
Craft Packed Mud
Combine one mud block with one wheat in any crafting slot — including the 2×2 inventory grid — to get one Packed Mud. Wheat is harvested from seeds planted on farmland next to water.
-
3
Craft Mud Bricks
Place four Packed Mud in a 2×2 square on a crafting table. Every four Packed Mud yield exactly four Mud Bricks — a 1:1 ratio that makes large-scale production straightforward.

Craft the Mud Brick variants
Mud Brick Slabs need 3 Mud Bricks in a horizontal row. Mud Brick Stairs need 6 in the standard stair pattern. Mud Brick Walls need 6 arranged in two rows of three.
-
5
Mine with a pickaxe
Mud Bricks are stone-tier blocks. A pickaxe of any material mines them quickly; without one they drop nothing and take much longer to break.
Mud can be created in infinite quantity because both water (from infinite water sources) and dirt are renewable, making Mud Bricks a fully renewable building block with no world-resource cap.
