Overview
Magenta 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.
Magenta Terracotta is a coloured block in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Magenta Terracotta. Its hardness of 1.25 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.
Anything below a wooden pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop. It drops as the same block you mined. It stacks to 64.
You make it with Terracotta and Magenta Dye. The one thing it makes is Magenta Glazed Terracotta.
About the magenta set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 1.25, Magenta Terracotta takes 6.3 seconds to punch out and 0.25 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
Iron takes 0.35 seconds against diamond's 0.25, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to diamond.
Below wooden the block breaks and simply vanishes. Bring the right tier or leave it in the ground.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 2.5 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| 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
Magenta Terracotta has a blast resistance of 4.2, so a nearby explosion will usually destroy it. It blocks light completely and emits no light of its own. 64 fit in a slot — a 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.
