'''Bricks''' are a decorative building [[block]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Bricks can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Bricks|Pickaxe|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===
Bricks naturally generate in [[ocean ruins]], and in [[plains]] [[village]] armorer houses. They can also generate in [[trail ruin]]s.

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|A2= Brick
|B2= Brick
|A3= Brick
|B3= Brick
|Output= Bricks
|type= Building block
}}

== Usage ==
Bricks have the same blast resistance as other [[stone]]-based [[block]]s, so they can be used as a durable building block.

=== Crafting ingredient ===

=== Stonecutting ingredient ===
