Blue Terracotta is one of sixteen dyed variants of terracotta, made by combining plain terracotta with blue dye. It keeps terracotta's hardened-clay texture and stone-like toughness while adding a saturated color for building and banded patterns.

FAQ

What tool do I need to mine Blue Terracotta?

Any pickaxe, even wooden, breaks it and drops the block itself.

Does Blue Terracotta occur naturally?

Yes, in badlands biomes as part of the naturally generated colored terracotta strata, and in trail ruins.

What does Blue Terracotta smelt into?

Furnace smelting turns it into Blue Glazed Terracotta.
