Light Gray Glazed Terracotta — Minecraft block

Overview

Light Gray Glazed Terracotta is one of the 16 variants of White Glazed Terracotta: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the White Glazed Terracotta page.

Minecraft classifies Light Gray Glazed Terracotta as a coloured block. At a hardness of 1.4 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down. It needs at least a wooden pickaxe to drop anything; a weaker tool destroys it for nothing.

Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. A blast resistance of 1.4 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64.

A furnace turns Light Gray Terracotta into it. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.

About the light gray set

How long it takes to break

Light Gray Glazed Terracotta has a hardness of 1.4. By hand that is 7 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.25 seconds.

Iron manages 0.35 seconds and diamond 0.3, which makes iron 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 contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 2.5 times faster than the plain tool.

Properties

With 1.4 blast resistance Light Gray Glazed Terracotta goes down to any nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. The fastest tool for it is a pickaxe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.

Transparent: No
Required tool: Wooden Pickaxe
