Pit Kilns are the only current method of firing clay items as the [[firepit]] no longer serves this function. They are created by digging a 1 block deep hole and {{SneakClick|placing}} the raw pottery item(s) in the bottom. You then fill the kiln with dried grass, sticks and some form of top-fuel (firewood, peat, charcoal, coal, etc..).
 
A pit kiln is a one deep hole dug into the earth, used to finish raw [[Clay forming|clay items]]. They are created by digging a 1 block deep hole and {{SneakClick|placing}} the raw pottery item(s) in the bottom. Players must then fill the kiln with dried grass, sticks and some form of fuel (firewood, peat, charcoal, coal, etc..).

Once fueled they must be {{SneakClick|ignited}} with a [[torch]] or [[firestarter]].
Once fueled they must be {{SneakClick|ignited}} with a [[torch]] or [[firestarter]]. Pit kilns can set surrounding items on fire, including flammable materials, tall grass, low-hanging tree branches, and the player. [[Rain]] or wet weather can also put out a pit kiln, forcing the player to re-ignite it and wait for the firing to finish again.
 
The firing will take approximately 20 ingame hours, so it's a good idea to prep the pit kiln before the night to let it fire away through the darkness. The fire on top of the kiln will stop burning when it's done, leaving only the finished pottery items in the hole. Finished items appear dark brown and no longer have "raw" in front of their name.

''* can only be made using blue clay''
Pit Kilns must be protected from rain or other water sources when lit to prevent the fire from going out.
''** can only be made using fire clay''
Pit Kilns can start fires in the vicinity of the kiln so do not build too close to wooden structures or dried grass.
