Red Glazed Terracotta

FAQ
How do I make red glazed terracotta?
Smelt red stained terracotta with any fuel — coal, wood, or a lava bucket — in a furnace. Note that plain, unstained terracotta cannot be smelted into a glazed variant.
Why do the patterns look different when I place multiple blocks?
Each block's texture rotates based on the direction the player was facing during placement, so arranging blocks in the correct orientation across a 2x2 area aligns the patterns into one larger design.
Can pistons move red glazed terracotta?
Regular pistons can push it, but sticky pistons cannot pull it, and it does not stick to adhesive blocks the way slime or honey blocks do.
Do any glazed terracotta colors hide extra details?
Yes, several colors contain intentional imagery — magenta blocks show directional arrows, cyan blocks display a creeper face, and purple blocks depict a sword hilt and handguard.
