What can players make with Glazed Terracotta block in Minecraft?

Glazed Terracotta is a special type of block in Minecraft. These blocks are not obtainable naturally from biomes. Instead, they need to be crafted by players. Rarely these blocks can also be found in certain village houses or underwater ruins. The most striking feature of these blocks is their texture design.

Players can craft these blocks by smelting any dyed Terracotta block. Since there are 16 dyes in the game, players can make 16 different types of blocks.

Different colored blocks will have different design patterns as well. The design of each block is good enough, but if placed together, they can create something truly beautiful.

2x2 block patterns

When placed, the block's texture orientation depends on the direction the player is facing while placing the block.

If players turn 90 degrees after placing every block, they will be able to create a basic combined design with these blocks. Players must remember that the block should be of the same color while making these designs.

Players can make four different types of designs with each 2x2 block presentation. This depends on which direction the player is facing while placing each block adjacent to one another.
