Description

Mud Bricks sit two crafting steps removed from raw mud. First, mud is combined with wheat in any crafting slot to compress it into packed mud — the wheat acting as a binding agent the way real adobe uses straw. Then four packed mud arranged in a 2×2 grid produce four mud bricks, ready to place. Mud itself generates naturally in mangrove swamp biomes (the defining surface of those flat, root-laced wetlands) and can also be created anywhere by using a water bottle on a dirt block.

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.
