Custom Glazed Terracotta
easy
FORMAT & MIN ENGINE VERSION 1.21.40
This tutorial assumes a basic understanding of blocks. Check out the blocks guide before starting.
Introduction
Glazed Terracotta has its own rotation mechanism, enabling players to craft aesthetically pleasing patterns for walls, floors, and ceilings. This guide will instruct you on creating your own blocks resembling glazed terracotta.
