White Stained Terracotta

What is White Stained Terracotta?

White Stained Terracotta is a decorative block in Minecraft that features a soft off-white color with a slightly pinkish tint. Unlike the bright white appearance of blocks like white concrete, White Stained Terracotta provides a more muted and earthy tone, making it ideal for warm and natural-looking builds. Its smooth texture and subtle coloration allow players to incorporate it into various architectural styles, such as modern homes, classical designs, and rustic villages.

Where Can White Stained Terracotta Be Found?

White Stained Terracotta does not generate naturally in the overworld and must be crafted by players. It is created by combining regular terracotta with white dye in a crafting table. Regular terracotta can be obtained by smelting clay blocks, which are commonly found in riverbeds, swamps, and lakes. White dye can be crafted from bone meal or obtained from flowers such as lily of the valley. Some villages located in the savanna biome may have white stained terracotta as part of their house designs, providing an opportunity for players to collect it without crafting. More information about crafting and sourcing terracotta can be found in the Terracotta article.
