White Glazed Terracotta
White Glazed Terracotta is a decorative pattern block whose white tiles merge into large aligned mosaics on floors and accent walls.
Description
Placing White Glazed Terracotta rotates the texture relative to the direction the player faces, so blocks of the same color laid in the correct orientation form one continuous image across a 2×2 or larger area. Floors, borders and accent walls built from White Glazed Terracotta use the alignment for mosaic effects that plain blocks cannot offer. White Glazed Terracotta stacks to 64, and the clean white tone keeps a large patterned surface readable as a single design.
