How to make terracotta in minecraft, follow these steps:

Gather Clay: Look for a body of water, like a river or a lake, and dig beneath the water's surface to collect clay balls. Each clay block drops 4 clay balls.

Craft Clay Blocks: In your crafting table, arrange four clay balls in a 2x2 pattern to create clay blocks. This is the first step in making terracotta.

Smelt Clay Blocks: Place the clay blocks in a furnace or a smoker and fuel it with wood, coal, or other burnable items. The blocks will turn into terracotta when they're smelted.

Collect Terracotta: Once the smelting process is complete, retrieve the terracotta from the furnace. You now have terracotta blocks that you can use for various creative purposes in your Minecraft world.

Terracotta is a versatile building material, and its vibrant colors make it a popular choice for adding aesthetics to your creations.
