Brick walls in Minecraft always give solidity to any building. Firstly, because brick blocks have a beautiful, bright texture, which stands out sharply against the background of stones and wood, and secondly, clay is an inaccessible resource. Before you make a brick in Minecraft, you have to get dozens of clay from the bottom of rivers and lakes, and this amount is enough for a small wall. Despite the fact that the share of clay at the bottom of reservoirs was increased in one of the latest versions, it is still long to get it.
To create a brick will have, as already noted above, to get as much clay as possible. It looks like blocks of light gray color. At the bottom of the rivers, clay is slightly darker in color than sand. She gets any shovel and even hands four units per block. Before you get a brick in Minecraft, you must with tenacity of a miner bring clay to the surface of a mountain. After you consider that you have extracted enough, go to the surface and proceed to its firing.
Remember that you need to burn lumps of clay, not blocks, otherwise you will get not bricks, but blocks of burnt clay. To speed up the process, load several stoves with charcoal and clay at once, so as not to wait for the result of several game days. For firing, you will need one unit of coal for every 8 lumps of clay. The output will be bricks. They will be objects, not blocks, and nothing can be built from them. How to craft a brick in Minecraft so that it can be put as a block? Very simple: in the crafting window, even in a backpack, 4 bricks add up to a square, and you get a brick block that can be put in the game world.
In addition to rivers and lakes, clay can be found on the banks, and also sometimes in the desert, near oases. Clay does not occur in other biomes. To extract clay from the bottom, you can put a door on the bottom for the duration of the work, then near it you can replenish the air supply and continue to extract clay without surfacing every 20 seconds to the surface.
How to make a brick in Minecraft without diving under water? Install a mod where you can pump out water (for example, Buildcraft or IC2) and dry the water you need, and then you can dig up clay without resorting to underwater work, which, by the way, is very boring due to poor visibility under water.
The brick is ideal for decorating locks. Therefore, if you decide to build your own residence in the game in the near future, it is worth taking care of how to make a brick.

brick wall . Therefore, before you make a brick in Minecraft, think about whether it is worth spending real time hours for the exterior beauty of the building? When building a wall with a thickness of 3 blocks or more, cover the inner layer with gravel or lay with cobblestone to speed up the construction, otherwise you will spend real time on erecting even a small fort.
