Clay is a natural block in Minecraft 1.19 that can be either smelted into Terracotta or broken into Clay Balls, a primary resource for Bricks and Brick blocks. Brick blocks and Terracotta are incredibly practical for building structures and adding a decorative touch to buildings. Minecraft Terracotta, in particular, can be dyed to create a wide assortment of colored blocks, which are excellent for adding various color designs to one’s structures. Typically, Clay generates at the bottom of bodies of water within rivers and lakes, including the Swamp, Beach, and Ocean biomes. However, in update 1.19 of Minecraft, players can now easily get Clay by creating a semi- or fully automated farm.

Making a Clay Farm in Minecraft 1.19

To farm Clay easily in Minecraft 1.19, players will need four specific materials to get started: Pointed Dripstone, Dirt, a Water Bottle, and any other block type, such as Stone. Pointed Dripstones are stalactites found in Dripstone Caves, Dirt is extremely common in most biomes, and the third block can be whatever players want it to be.

According to Minecraft content creator JayDeeMC, Clay in 1.19 can be easily farmed in the following way:

Step No. Walkthrough Details
1
  • Start by placing a random block elevated above the ground.
  • For example, make a small tower of three cobblestone blocks, and destroy the bottom two, causing the third to float.
2
  • Next, place a Pointed Dripstone beneath this floating block.
3
  • Place a Dirt block on top of the floating block before dousing the Dirt with water using a Water Bottle.
  • Glass Bottles are made using three blocks of Glass, a resource acquired from smelting Sand in a Furnace.
4
  • Eventually, the wet Dirt block of Mud will dry and become a block of Clay.
  • Minecraft fans can break this block of Clay to receive 4 Clay Balls.
  • If players have a shovel with the Silk Touch Enchantment, they can obtain the block without breaking it.
5
  • Players can make multiple iterations of this process to make a semi-automated Clay farm.
  • JayDeeMC has also advised that players can use Redstone dust-covered Dispensers with Water Bottles to create Mud automatically.
  • Of course, the efficiency of this Clay farm can be further enhanced and automated, depending on an individual’s aptitude with Redstone in Minecraft 1.19.

 

Minecraft is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One X|S, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS.
