Brown Stained Terracotta

What is Brown Stained Terracotta?

Brown Stained Terracotta is a decorative building block in Minecraft that features a warm, earthy brown tone with a smooth texture. Unlike brown concrete, which offers a more uniform appearance, Brown Stained Terracotta has a slightly muted and natural look, making it an excellent choice for rustic, medieval, and nature-themed builds. Its subdued color allows it to blend seamlessly with wood, stone, and other organic materials, giving structures a grounded and natural aesthetic.

Where Can Brown Stained Terracotta Be Found?

Brown Stained Terracotta does not generate naturally in the overworld and must be crafted by players. It is created by combining regular terracotta with brown dye in a crafting table. Regular terracotta can be obtained by smelting clay blocks, which are commonly found in riverbeds, swamps, and lakes. Brown dye is crafted from cocoa beans, which can be obtained from cocoa pods found growing on jungle trees in jungle biomes. Some savanna villages may contain naturally generated terracotta, which can be collected and dyed to create Brown Stained Terracotta. More details about crafting and sourcing terracotta can be found in the Terracotta article.
