Crock: Difference between revisions

<!--infobox goes here-->

The '''crock''' is a craftable block used to preserve [[Cooking|cooked meals]] made in the [[cooking pot]].

Crocks must be crafted by players using [[clay forming]], using any kind of [[clay]]. Once formed, the raw crock must be fired in a [[pit kiln]] before use.

Crock can be used to store meals that are in a [[bowl]] or cooking pot, by equipping an empty crock in the active hotbar slot and right-clicking the container with the meal. Once filled, the label on the crock will update to reflect its contents. To get food out of a crock, players must equip an empty bowl and right-click the filled crock.

Meals stored in crocks last longer than they would in a cooking pot. The shelf life of food in a crock can be further extended by sealing it. To seal a crock, players must place the filled crock in the crafting grid along with one [[fat]] or [[beeswax]]. Sealed crocks have significantly longer freshness timers.

Crocks can be placed on the ground or on a shelf. Each ground block can hold up to four crocks, while each shelf can hold up to eight crocks (four on each shelf). Crocks also benefit from [[cellar]]s, which can slow down the rate of spoilage even further.

If the food stored in a crock turns into [[rot]], it must be emptied before re-use. Sealed crocks should first be "opened" by attempting to {{Using|use}} an empty bowl on it. Then, players may drop the rot-filled crock in a block of water. After a few seconds, the rot items will float to the top while the now-empty crock will sink to the bottom.
