==Natural Generation== <!--T:2-->

[[File:Claydeposits.png|300px|right|Clay deposit.]]

'''Clay''' is a terrain block variant created during world generation. Both blue clay and fire clay are found in the same climate. Blue clay is 5 times more frequent than fire clay but fire clay has slightly larger deposits (15 blocs radius against 13 blocks radius). Their deposits are disc-shaped and that disc follows surface deformations. The thickness of the disc can vary between 2 and 4 blocks.

=== Clay Types === <!--T:3-->

There are two type of clay blocks: Blue clay (appears pale blue) and Fire clay (appears pale pink/beige). Players can find deposits of clay scattered throughout temperate zones in the world.

=== Grass Variants === <!--T:4-->

Clay blocks have grass coverage variants and may appear as "bare clay" with a surface colored according to the clay type (no grass), or a green top surface, aka "grass block". Depending on climactic conditions, grass coverage appears sparse (patchy green) on clay blocks. Tall grass may also grow/spawn on "grass" blocks.

=== Harvesting === <!--T:5-->

Clay blocks may be removed by {{Breaking|breaking}} with an empty hand or using any tool, though a {{ll|Shovel|shovel}} is a faster method to harvest clay blocks. When broken, clay blocks drop 4-5 units of clay, which stack to 64 and may be carried in player inventory, or stored in stationary containers. Clay blocks may NOT be harvested intact and replaced elsewhere.

Stacks of clay are sometimes found in {{ll|Cracked vessel|cracked vessels (forage)}} in {{ll|Ruin|ruins}}.

== Usage == <!--T:6-->

Blue clay can be used to form {{ll|Ceramic Blocks#clay brick|clay bricks}} or {{ll|Ceramic Blocks#hardened clay|hardened clay blocks}}. Blue clay is primarily used to form pottery items and {{ll|Molds|molds}} in conjunction with the clay forming mechanic. For more information on creating pottery items, see the {{ll|Clay_Forming|clay forming guide}}.

=== Fire Clay === <!--T:7-->

Fire clay may be substituted for blue clay in any of the uses named above, but only bricks made of fire clay ({{ll|Fire Brick|fire bricks}}) can be used to create the {{ll|Bloomery|bloomery}} and only fire clay can be used to create the {{ll|Clay oven|clay oven}}.

== Storage == <!--T:8-->

Clay blocks technically stack to 64 but they cannot be obtained through normal survival gameplay.
