Clay forming is a crafting method that allows the player to place and layer tiny cubes (voxels) of clay to form a shaped container, which is then fired or "burned" in a [[Firepit|firepit]] to finish the item. The forming mechanic is similar to knapping stone tools, where voxels must be added or removed to create the desired object.

'''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}}.

{{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}}.

# 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]].


== Required Materials ==
<!--T:19-->
To form clay items you need: [[clay|blue clay or fireclay]], a [[firepit]], and [[fuel]].
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.


== Acquiring Clay ==  
==Pit Kiln== <!--T:5-->
[[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 molds and items like bowls and pots you can use any kind of clay, but the [[Bloomery|bloomery]] must be built with [[Fire_Brick|fire clay bricks]].


== Shaping Molds and Items ==
<!--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.


1. Select clay in your active hand. (blue clay is shown left and fire clay is shown right)
<!--T:21-->
<div style="margin-left: 25px;">
Pit kilns generally take about 20 in-game hours to complete. Once fired, pottery items can then be used.
[[File:Clay_in_hotbar.png|130px]]
</div>


2. Aim your crosshairs on a solid surface and press Left Shift (sneak) + Right Click to open the clay forming menu and select the item you wish to make.
==Using Finished Pottery Items and Molds== <!--T:6-->
<div style="margin-left: 25px;">
[[File:Clay_mold_recipe_dialog.png|130px]]
</div>


3. The clay forming grid will appear on the surface you selected. To craft the chosen mold or item, you must fill all the 'green' colored voxels using (right mouse button) to place clay and remove clay from any 'orange' colored voxels using (left mouse button) to create the form. As you complete each layer of the clay item, the next layer will appear for you to complete. It's helpful to sit on the ground (press 'G') while shaping clay.  
<!--T:27-->
<div style="margin-left: 25px;">
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.
[[File:Clay_molding.png|130px]]
</div>


4. 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. If you need to place an item on a surface before firing, you can do so and "break" the item to pick it up.
===Using Items=== <!--T:7-->


===Tool Modes===
<!--T:28-->
To change the number of clay voxels added or removed (1x1, 2x2 and 3x3), press F and select the 'brush size' as indicated by the first three menu options. The last tool menu option,'Copy' allows you to duplicate identical layers of clay voxels. When this menu option is selected, pressing the right mouse button adds a "layer" of clay matching the pattern of voxels directly underneath the current layer under construction.  
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}}.


==Preparing Items and Molds==
===Using Molds=== <!--T:8-->
Once the form is complete, the clay item must be baked in a firepit. Place the raw clay item into the top left slot of the firepit, and add fuel to the bottom slot. The fuel selected to fire (burn) blue clay items must reach and maintain the firing temperature of 700 C until the process is completed. When fired, the finished item will transfer to the right side (output) of the firepit. Burned items turn into a dark color and have "burned" added to their name. Baked items can be placed on the ground via Shift + Right click, and many pottery items can be picked up again using right click when your hand is empty.


==Clay Items and Molds==
