In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft terracotta:
How to craft Terracotta in Survival Mode
1. Open the Furnace Menu
First, open your furnace so that you have the Furnace menu that looks like this:
2. Add Fuel to the Furnace
Next, you need to add fuel to the bottom fuel box in the furnace.
In this tutorial, we are going to use coal as our fuel.
TIP: Read our tutorial called
How to Add Fuel to a Furnace if you aren't sure what items can be used as fuel, the length of time each fuel will burn, or how many items each fuel can smelt/cook.
3. Add Items to make Terracotta
Next, place the block of clay in the top box of the furnace. You should see the flames cooking the block of clay.
Once the block of clay is cooked in the furnace, the terracotta will appear in the box to the right.
4. Move the Terracotta to Inventory
Now that you have made terracotta in your furnace, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
Congratulations, you have made terracotta in Minecraft!
