Convert Clay Blocks to Bricks Automatically

Mining Clay with Smelting Touch

When you apply Smelting Touch to a shovel and use it to mine clay blocks, the clay is instantly converted into bricks instead of dropping clay balls.

The Process

1. Equip a shovel with Smelting Touch

2. Mine clay blocks as you normally would

3. Bricks drop directly into your inventory

4. No furnace or fuel required

Why This Matters

Clay blocks are commonly found near water in swamps, rivers, and beaches. Normally, mining clay gives you clay balls, which must be fired in a furnace to become bricks — a time-consuming process if you need large quantities for building.

With Smelting Touch, you skip the furnace entirely and collect finished bricks on the spot. This is especially useful for large construction projects or when gathering materials for decorative building blocks.

Stacking with Other Enchantments

You can combine Smelting Touch with Efficiency to mine clay faster, making large-scale brick collection much more practical.
