The crock is a craftable block used to preserve cooked meals made in the cooking pot .

Obtaining

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.

Usage

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 cellars , which can slow down the rate of spoilage even further.

Cleaning a crock

A cooking pot being emptied of rotten food. This process works for crocks.

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 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.
