What is White Terracotta in Minecraft?
White terracotta is a solid, opaque block with a soft texture and a clean, off white color. It is a dyed version of regular terracotta. The main purpose of white terracotta is to be a versatile building block. It has a nice, clean look without being as perfectly smooth as concrete, which gives it a more natural, earthy feel. Players use white terracotta to build colorful houses, create patterned floors, and add splashes of color to their landscapes. Because it comes in all 16 dye colors, the terracotta family of blocks is one of the best for builders who love to work with a wide color palette. The white terracotta block is a great choice for adding a warm and natural color to your creations.
How to get White Terracotta in Minecraft
There are two main ways to get white terracotta. The first way is to find it naturally. Regular, uncolored terracotta generates in huge quantities in badlands biomes. Within these biomes, you can also find large, naturally occurring layers of white terracotta. You can mine it with any pickaxe. The second way, which is more common, is to craft it. To do this, you will need regular terracotta and white dye. If you cannot find a badlands biome, you can get regular terracotta by smelting a clay block in a furnace. To get white dye, you can use bone meal or a lily of the valley flower. Once you have your materials, go to a crafting table. Place the single piece of white dye in the center slot, and then surround it completely with eight blocks of regular terracotta. This will give you eight blocks of white terracotta.
How to use White Terracotta in Minecraft
The main use for white terracotta is for building and decoration. Its soft, matte color is less intense than concrete, making it a great choice for large surfaces that you do not want to be too overwhelming. You can use it to build colorful walls, create mosaic style floors by combining it with other terracotta colors, or build entire structures with a unique, modern feel. A very special use for white terracotta is to turn it into white glazed terracotta. If you smelt a block of white terracotta in a furnace, it will transform into the beautifully patterned glazed version. This opens up even more decorative possibilities. White terracotta is a solid and reliable building block with a good blast resistance, similar to stone.
