Where to find clay in Minecraft

Clay is a block in Minecraft that really isn't used for many things within the game. Clay can be turned into terracotta simply by smelting it inside a furnace. Terracotta is a type of block that players can use to build things with decoration.

Clay can also be transformed into clay bricks. These bricks can be used by a player in Minecraft to create their own houses and save their spawn point in using a bed.

Clay is smelted using a furnace. A furnace is created using eight blocks of cobblestone and is activated by using fuel. Fuel is easily found around Minecraft, and there are multiple different types of items that may be used as fuel, but coal is the best one.

Clay can be found in multiple places around the Minecraft world. In this article, players will learn where to find clay in Minecraft!
