Overview
Pink 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.
Minecraft classifies Pink Terracotta as a coloured block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Pink 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 Pink Dye. The one thing it makes is Pink Glazed Terracotta.
About the pink set
How long it takes to break
Pink Terracotta sits at hardness 1.25: 6.3 seconds per block with your fists, 0.25 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron takes 0.35 seconds against diamond's 0.25, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to diamond.
The block still breaks with a weaker tool, but below wooden it yields nothing at all — the time is spent and the drop is lost, which is the single most common way players waste a vein.
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 Pink Terracotta usually goes down to a nearby explosion. It is fully opaque and produces no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. The block is tagged for pickaxes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
