'''Stained terracotta'''<ref>The term “stained terracotta” is not used in the UI. However, [[recipe]] files for the default [[data pack]] of ''[[Java Edition]]'' (such as <code>data/minecraft/recipes/white_terracotta.json</code>) put all stained terracotta crafting recipes into the <code>stained_terracotta</code> group.</ref> is a dyed variant of [[terracotta]] obtained by crafting undyed terracotta with [[dye]]s. Some of the variants are found in [[badlands]] biomes, and all variants can be smelted into [[glazed terracotta]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
All 16 colors of terracotta can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.

{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Stained Terracotta|Pickaxe|Wood}}

=== Natural generation ===
'''Badlands'''

Red, orange, yellow, brown, white, and light gray terracotta can be found naturally in [[badlands]] [[biome]]s, which yield massive amounts of stained terracotta.

'''Villages'''

White terracotta can be found as a housing material in plains villages. Yellow, orange and red terracotta generates in some houses in savanna villages. Lime terracotta generates in the mason houses of desert villages.

'''Others'''

* Orange terracotta and one blue terracotta can also be found in [[desert pyramid]]s.
* Light blue terracotta is found in warm [[ocean ruins]].
* All terracotta colors except black, green, light blue, lime, magenta, pink, and purple can generate in [[trail ruins]].<!-- change this to say what *can* generate instead of what can *not* -->
