Crafting Terracotta Bricks, Tiles and Glowstone Variants

Terracotta brick chain

Start with colored terracotta. Craft Black Terracotta Bricks from Black Terracotta, then craft Black Terracotta Tiles from the bricks. Keep the two stacks apart, since each shape variant is made from one specific input.

From Black Terracotta Bricks:

• Black Terracotta Brick Slab, Black Terracotta Brick Stairs, Black Terracotta Brick Wall
• Black Terracotta Brick Gate

From Black Terracotta Tiles:

• Black Terracotta Tile Slab, Black Terracotta Tile Stairs, Black Terracotta Tile Wall
• Black Terracotta Tile Gate

Plain Black Terracotta also has Black Terracotta Slab, Black Terracotta Stairs, Black Terracotta Wall, Black Terracotta Gate, Black Terracotta Pillar and Black Terracotta Corner Pillar.

Glowstone set

Black Glowstone is its own block. From it you can make Black Glowstone Slab, Black Glowstone Stairs, Black Glowstone Wall and Black Glowstone Gate. Use these where you want the same dark palette but with light output, such as lining a path or edging a ceiling.

Stonecutting and layout

Feed Black Terracotta, Black Terracotta Bricks or Black Terracotta Tiles into a stonecutter to pull out the slab, stair, wall, gate and pillar shapes. For a build, set Black Terracotta Bricks as the wall, cap with Black Terracotta Brick Slab, and place Black Terracotta Pillar with Black Terracotta Corner Pillar at turns. Use Black Terracotta Tiles for smooth panels, and drop in Black Glowstone or Black Glowstone Slab where you need light without changing the color.
