FAQ
What's the minimum pickaxe needed to mine Yellow Terracotta?
A wooden pickaxe. Mining it without any pickaxe yields no drop at all.
Does Yellow Terracotta need Silk Touch to drop itself?
No. Any pickaxe of at least wood tier drops the block itself normally, no enchantment required.
How is Yellow Terracotta different from Yellow Concrete?
Terracotta has much higher blast resistance (4.2) than concrete and cannot be affected by gravity or water, giving it a more matte, weathered look.
Can I turn Yellow Terracotta into Glazed Terracotta?
Yes. Smelting it in a furnace or blast furnace produces Yellow Glazed Terracotta, which has a fixed directional pattern.
