Description
Mud bricks are shaped building blocks made by forming and drying mud. They have a warm earthy color and a slightly rough face that gives builds a handcrafted feel. Mud bricks are used in walls, floors and decorative features where a traditional or vernacular look is desired. Because they can be produced from abundant wetland materials they offer a sustainable option for players who want to use locally sourced blocks to dress their villages. The bricks are versatile and can be crafted into slabs stairs and walls to make a complete building set that matches across all parts of a structure. In survival they are practical and easy to produce once you have access to mud and a drying or crafting method supported by the game. Designers use mud bricks to create courtyards, domed roofs and rustic interior finishes that feel warm and familiar. The material works well with wooden beams and plant life to simulate older buildings and farm style architecture. Mud bricks help bridge landscaping and construction by being both a ground cover and a shaped block which makes them an attractive choice for coherent themed builds.
