Blue Terracotta
minecraft:blue_terracottaBlue Terracotta is a hardened clay building block colored by combining eight terracotta blocks with blue dye in a crafting grid. It shares terracotta's solid blast resistance of 4.2, making it useful for both decorative work and protective structures. It must be mined with a pickaxe to drop, and its muted blue tone suits builds ranging from rooftops to detailed pixel art.
