Description
Bricks are solid square blocks made from fired clay that have a warm red brown color and a patterned surface. They are one of the most common decorative building blocks because they offer a traditional masonry look that fits both rustic and urban designs. Players use bricks for houses chimneys paved walkways and decorative trims. The block is durable compared to softer materials and it resists explosions better than wood based blocks making it a practical choice for builds near danger. Bricks are also reasonably easy to mass produce if you have access to many clay blocks and a furnace to fire the clay into bricks. Because of their classic look many builders choose bricks for roofs small towers and garden walls. They match well with stone and wood and the texture helps real world like builds feel convincing. Bricks do not have any redstone behavior or storage function but they are a go to block for stable and attractive constructions that need a long lasting finish in survival or creative play.
