FAQ

What tool do I need to mine it?

At least a wooden pickaxe; mining without a pickaxe of any tier yields no drop.

Does it resist explosions well?

Reasonably — its blast resistance of 4.2 is higher than stone, making it a bit tougher against TNT than plain rock.

Can it burn?

No, terracotta is non-flammable and will not catch fire from lava or nearby flames.

What is it used for besides building?

Mainly decoration and smelting into Purple Glazed Terracotta for patterned floors and walls.
