Overview
Cyan Terracotta is one of the 17 variants of Terracotta: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the Terracotta page.
Cyan Terracotta counts as a coloured block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Cyan Terracotta is made at a crafting table. Hardness 1.25 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
Mine it with a wooden pickaxe or better, or you get no drop at all. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot.
The recipe calls for Terracotta and Cyan Dye. Its only crafting use is Cyan Glazed Terracotta.
About the cyan set
How long it takes to break
Cyan Terracotta has a hardness of 1.25. By hand that is 6.3 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.25 seconds.
Iron manages 0.35 seconds and diamond 0.25, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.
Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 2.5 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand * | 6.3 s | 6.3 s | 6.3 s |
| Wooden | 0.95 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Stone | 0.5 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.35 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.25 s | 0.1 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
Properties
With 4.2 blast resistance Cyan Terracotta usually goes down to a nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. A pickaxe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
