Clay forming is a crafting method that allows the player to place tiny cubes of clay to form a shape. To access the crafting menu you need to hold clay in your hand and press Shift+Right click while pointing at the top of a block. Once you do this, the clay forming recipe dialog appears. Select the recipe you want to create. Now you will be presented with a grid. You need to fill in the green blocks with clay. If there is a space with no green box then you need to clear the clay out of that spot. Pressing 'G' will make the player sit down and this is very helpful when clay forming.  Pressing the 'F' key will bring up a small dialogue with 2x2 and 3x3 'brushes', in case you don't want to do it 1 voxel at a time.  There is also a 'Copy' brush, that copies the layer of voxels you select.

Most items made by clay forming must be burned in a [[Firepit|firepit]] before use. Burned items turn into a dark color and have "burned" added to their name.
<!--T:1-->
'''Clay forming''' is a crafting method that allows the player to place tiny cubes (voxels) of clay in layers that form a shaped container, which is then fired in a {{ll|Pit_kiln|pit kiln}} to finish the item. The forming mechanic is similar to {{ll|Knapping|knapping}} stone tools, where voxels must be added or removed to create the desired object.

== Required Materials == <!--T:2-->


<!--T:22-->
To form clay items a player needs {{ll|clay|blue clay or fire clay}}, as well as dry grass, sticks, and {{ll|Firewood|firewood}}/{{ll|Peat|peat}} for a {{ll|Pit_kiln|pit kiln}}.


{{Navbox|Vintage Story}}
<!--T:16-->
[[File:Clay_in_hotbar.png|right|thumb|170px|frame|Left: Blue Clay. Right: Fire Clay]]
 
== Acquiring Clay == <!--T:3-->
 
<!--T:13-->
{{ll|Clay|Clay}} deposits are commonly found in temperate climates and can be harvested with bare hands or a shovel. There are different types of clay in the world, blue clay and fire clay. For tool {{ll|Mold|molds}} and items like bowls and pots, either kind of clay may be used, but the {{ll|Bloomery|bloomery}} must be built with {{ll|Fire_Brick|fire clay bricks}}.
 
== Shaping Molds and Items == <!--T:14-->
 
<!--T:23-->
[[File:Clay_mold_recipe_dialog.png|right|thumb|200px|Clay mold recipe dialog box.]]
 
<!--T:17-->
# Select clay in the active hand.
# Aim the white crosshairs on a solid surface and {{SneakClick|open}} the clay forming menu and select the item to be crafted.
# The clay forming grid will appear on the selected surface. To craft the chosen mold or item, the 'green' colored voxels must be filled {{RMB}} and clay removed {{LMB}} from any 'orange' colored voxels to create each layer of the form. As each layer of the clay item is completed, the next layer will appear above the last.  It's helpful to sit on the ground (press {{Keypress|G}}) while shaping clay.
# When all layers of the item or mold are completed, the dialog box will disappear and the formed items will jump into the inventory of the player who placed or removed the last voxel of clay. Formed items can be placed on a surface before firing and picked up {{RMB}}. Breaking will not destroy an item.

===Clay Tool Modes=== <!--T:4-->
 
<!--T:25-->
To change the number of clay voxels added or removed (1x1, 2x2 and 3x3), press {{Keypress|F}} and select the 'brush size' as indicated by the first three menu options. The last tool menu option,'Copy' allows a player to duplicate identical layers of clay voxels. When this menu option is selected, the {{Using|added}} "layer" of clay will match the pattern of voxels directly underneath the current layer "under construction".
 
=== Clay Oven === <!--T:18-->
 
<!--T:26-->
:''See also [[Clay Oven|Clay Oven]].
 
<!--T:19-->
This specific item can only be formed with fire clay, and requires a hefty amount of it. It can be used without firing afterwards, and is necessary for cooking bread and pies.
 
==Pit Kiln== <!--T:5-->
 
<!--T:20-->
Once the form is complete, the clay items must be baked in a {{ll|pit kiln|pit kiln}}, as well as requiring dry grass, sticks, and firewood or peat. The one exception to this is the clay oven.
 
<!--T:21-->
Pit kilns generally take about 20 in-game hours to complete. Once fired, pottery items can then be used.
 
==Using Finished Pottery Items and Molds== <!--T:6-->
 
<!--T:27-->
Many of the items made with clay are {{ll|Container|containers}} used in other types of crafting. Most baked items can be {{SneakClick|placed}} on the ground, and many pottery items can be {{Using|picked up}} again with an empty hand.
 
===Using Items=== <!--T:7-->
 
<!--T:28-->
The cooking pot and bowl are used in [[cooking|cooking]], while the watering can has a use in [[farming|farming]]. Crocks and Storage Vessels are containers used in [[food preservation|food preservation]]. Shingles can be used to construct {{ll|Ceramic Blocks#Clay Shingles|clay shingles blocks}}, Flowerpots and Planters are {{ll|containers#stationary containers|containers}} used in decorating. Lamellae are used as components in crafting {{ll|armor|armor}}.
 
===Using Molds=== <!--T:8-->
 
<!--T:29-->
For more information and instructions when using molds to cast {{ll|metal|metal}} ingots, tools and weapons, see separate pages on: {{ll|crucible|crucible}}, {{ll|molds|molds}} and {{ll|casting|casting}}.
