Clay brick blocks require single bricks and mortar to create. They are available in 4 colors: blue, brown, red, and light brown (fire clay).

  • Block Shapes: Full blocks, slabs (half blocks), stairs and chimneys can be created - crafted chimneys are the unlit version.
  • Material Variant: Any clay variant can be used to craft these blocks.
  • Appearance: The type of clay used in crafting affects the appearance of the block.

  • Block Shapes: Full blocks and grating can be created.
  • Material Variant: There are 3 tiers available. Tier 1 is 90% heat resistant, tier 2 is 95% heat resistant and tier 3 is 99.9% heat resistant.

Looting

Some clay brick blocks can be looted in ruins . The lit version of the chimney, which emits smoke, can be only be found in ruins.

Purchasing

  • Single clay bricks can be purchased from building materials traders . But these traders only sell blue, brown, red, and fire single bricks.
  • Though the handbook does not display their recipe, if you purchase brown or red single bricks in Survival mode, you will be able to craft the other blocks using mortar and clay.

Usage

Building component

  • Mudbrick blocks and clay brick blocks are primarily used to create player structures. Slabs can be placed horizontally or vertically.
  • Refractory brick blocks (Tier 1 to 3) are specifically used to build the cementation furnace, which is necessary for steel making .
