Artisan Pottery FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start making clay pots?
Craft potting clay using clay blocks, then place it in a trimming block to shape it. Once shaped, move the clay to a turntable block to finish and finalize your pot's design.
What's the difference between regular birds and brute birds?
Brute versions of hawks and pigeons are stronger variants that you create by right-clicking a normal bird with a pigeon ring found in Dovecote structures. Brute birds have improved stats and abilities compared to their regular counterparts.
How do I tame vultures?
Feed rotten flesh to wild vultures in the desert or badlands until they're tamed. Once tamed, they'll follow you and can be bred with other tamed vultures.
Can I breed hawks and pigeons?
Yes, you can breed hawks and pigeons by feeding them crafted grains. Make sure you have two birds of the same type and enough grains to initiate breeding.
Where do I find ancient ruins and structures?
Ancient ruins like the Sphinx, Obelisks, and Dovecotes generate naturally in desert and badlands biomes. Explore sandy areas to discover these structures, which contain suspicious sand and custom loot to excavate.
How does the Bagdad Battery work?
Place a Bagdad Battery in an open area and wait for a thunderstorm; when lightning strikes it, the battery charges and stores energy. You can then use this stored energy for various purposes throughout your world.
What does the Resplendent Torch do?
The Resplendent Torch is a decorative light source that you can toggle on and off by right-clicking it, giving you control over when it emits light.
What loot can I find in the new structures?
The ancient ruins contain custom loot bundles and suspicious sand blocks that you can brush to uncover pottery shards, ancient items, and other treasures related to the mod's desert theme.
Do I need to find pigeon rings or can I craft them?
Pigeon rings are found exclusively in Dovecote structures scattered throughout desert biomes—they cannot be crafted. You'll need to explore and excavate these structures to obtain them.
Can I customize the appearance of my pots?
Yes, the mod lets you shape and decorate clay pots exactly how you want them to look using the trimming block and turntable. Different shaping techniques and decorative options allow for unique custom designs.
