What is Blue Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft?
Blue glazed terracotta is a vibrant and highly decorative block with a complex, repeating pattern. It features a striking design in shades of blue and cyan that looks a bit like a stylized gemstone or a compass rose. 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. Blue 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 Blue Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft
You cannot find or craft blue glazed terracotta directly. You have to create it by smelting. The only ingredient you need is a block of regular blue terracotta. To get blue 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 blue. You can do this by surrounding one piece of blue dye (from lapis lazuli) with eight terracotta blocks in a crafting table. This will give you eight blocks of blue terracotta. Now, for the final step, take your blue terracotta and smelt it in a furnace. Each block of blue terracotta you smelt will turn into one block of blue glazed terracotta.
How to use Blue Glazed Terracotta in Minecraft
The only use for blue 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.
