Neutral-colored building blocks have always been one of the top picks for Minecraft builders. They can be easily combined with various other blocks and are pleasant to look at. Not only that but you can choose amongst so many different options and one of those is mud bricks. This block is one of the prettiest brown blocks in the game and it also has the slab, stair, and wall variants. So, without further ado, let’s learn how to make mud bricks in Minecraft right now.
Resources You Need to Make Mud Bricks
To make mud bricks, well, you need mud. But not mud in its natural form, but packed mud and at least four of them to be exact. You can craft packed mud by combining mud blocks and wheat in the crafting grid.
Mud is a common block found in mangrove swamps, but you can also get it by using a water bottle on a dirt block.
That’s pretty much all you need. To make mud bricks, you can simply use the 2 x 2 crafting grid in your inventory, so the crafting table is not necessary at all.
How to Craft Mud Bricks in Minecraft
Once you’re done with making packed mud blocks, follow the steps below to make mud bricks.
- First of all, press the “E” key on your keyboard to open the player inventory.
- Then, take four packed mud blocks and place one in each slot of the 2 x 2 crafting grid.
- When all the slots are filled, you’ll see mud bricks appear in the result slot on the right.
- Now, you can move the mud bricks into an empty slot of your inventory. And they’re ready for use in your structures.
Where Can You Find Mud Bricks in Minecraft
If you love exploration and want to get mud bricks in a more natural way, you can. Full mud brick blocks and their variants are generated as part of the trail ruins structures. The trail ruins generate only in some Minecraft biomes and can give you plenty of other loot too. However, do keep in mind that the amount of mud bricks you’re going to reveal is uncertain. You can mine these bricks with a pickaxe.
