Clay Ball

In Minecraft, a Clay Ball is an item obtained by breaking clay blocks. When a clay block is broken with a non-Silk Touch tool (like a shovel), it yields four clay balls. Clay blocks are commonly found underwater, such as in swamps, beaches, oceans, and at the bottoms of rivers and lakes, often in shallow, crystal-like formations. Clay balls have several uses: four clay balls can be crafted back into a clay block, or they can be smelted in a furnace to create bricks. Additionally, novice-level mason villagers trade 10 clay balls for 1 emerald. Clay balls are a stackable and renewable item in the game and are important in early gameplay for crafting basic building materials and tools. While clay balls cannot be directly used to make tools, they are essential components for crafting bricks and building structures.
