What is Black Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft?
Black glazed terracotta is a vibrant and highly decorative block with a complex, repeating pattern. It features a striking design in shades of black, gray, and dark purple that looks a bit like a stylized flower or a sunburst. The main purpose of this block is for decoration, especially for creating beautiful and intricate floors, walls, and ceilings. What makes glazed terracotta so unique is that the pattern changes based on the direction you are facing when you place it. This allows you to rotate the blocks to create four different orientations, which can be combined to make incredibly detailed and mesmerizing patterns. Black glazed terracotta is a favorite for builders who want to add a lot of visual energy and artistic flair to their creations.
How to get Black Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft
You cannot find or craft black glazed terracotta directly. You have to create it by smelting. The only ingredient you need is a block of regular black terracotta. To get black terracotta, you first need to find normal terracotta, which is a clay like block found in large quantities in badlands biomes. You can also craft it by smelting a regular clay block in a furnace. Once you have your terracotta, you need to dye it black. You can do this by surrounding one piece of black dye (from an ink sac) with eight terracotta blocks in a crafting table. This will give you eight blocks of black terracotta. Now, for the final step, take your black terracotta and smelt it in a furnace. Each block of black terracotta you smelt will turn into one block of black glazed terracotta.
How to use Black Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft
The only use for black glazed terracotta is for building and decoration. It is a purely aesthetic block. Its real power comes from its patterns. When you place it, the pattern will align with the direction you are facing. By placing it from the north, south, east, and west, you can rotate the block's design. This allows you to create amazing symmetrical patterns, complex mosaics, and mind bending optical illusions on your floors and walls. It is a fantastic block for creating feature floors in a grand hall, a unique backsplash in a modern kitchen, or a decorative accent on the outside of a building. It is a hard block with good blast resistance, but it cannot be moved by pistons, so keep that in mind when building with it.
