Clay is a sticky and soft resource found in [[clay tile]]s that can be easily formed into [[pottery]] items like [[clay bowl]]s, [[clay flask]]s, or [[clay jar]]s. [[Masonry|Masons]] also make use of clay as a bonding material for the [[stone brick]]s used in [[guard tower]]s and [[stone forge]]s, or to mix the better bonding material [[mortar]] to build [[stone house]]s, for example.

[[Clay tile]]s can be raised by dropping [[dirt]] or [[sand]]. They can be lowered with the [[level]] command if all corners are higher or level to an adjacent flat tile and your [[digging]] skill is at least 70. Clay tiles cannot be changed to another type of tile.

To transport a large quantity of clay, you will probably have to combine it. Even a [[small cart]] will likely hold more than 100 2kg lumps of clay.  If you do so, be aware of the following:

Description

Clay is a resource obtained by digging on a clay tile. It can also be foraged from mineral debris.

Usage

  • Clay is used to create many clay and pottery items.
  • Clay items can be heated in a forge, campfire, or kiln to become pottery items.
  • Continue building will only use 2 kg of a clay lump at a time.

Notes

  • Clay has a high decay speed.
  • Building failures will damage the whole lump, not just the 2 kg part that was used.
  • Clay items cannot be changed back into clay.
