Similar to the Stone Brick or Nether Brick, the Mud Brick is a decorative block in Minecraft that can be used to build structures. When used in crafting, the Mud Brick can be made into Mud Brick Slabs, Mud Brick Stairs, and Mud Brick Walls if the blocks are placed correctly on the 3×3 Crafting Table's grid. For instance, placing six brick blocks in a diagonal sloping shape will create the stairs block in Minecraft, and covering two rows with six brick blocks will result in walls. Alternatively, players can use the Stonecutter to produce the same Mud Brick recipes without needing the ingredient placement on a crafting grid.
Since using a Stonecutter is the more convenient way to craft Mud Brick recipes in Minecraft, players are recommended to assemble one if they plan to conduct construction with Mud Brick block types. To make a Stonecutter, fans must place three Stone Blocks beneath a single Iron Ingot. Stone Blocks are the naturally generated blocks commonly found in caves. However, when mined, the block changes into Cobblestone. By smelting a Cobblestone block in a Furnace, it will turn back into a Stone Block, which can be used to make the Stonecutter.
To make Mud Bricks, players will first need to procure Mud in Minecraft, a block that can be crafted or found generated naturally in the Mangrove Swamp biome. The Mangrove Swamp is an uncommon variant of the Swamp biome located in warmer regions, typically near jungles and deserts. Therefore, an ideal way to find this Swamp type would be to investigate the biome that borders deserts or jungles. The Mangrove Swamp is easily recognizable due to the unique teal color of its water and the abundance of dark sepia Mud blocks.
Crafting Mud Bricks In Minecraft
If Minecraft fans are unable to find a Mangrove Swamp, they can also make Mud on their own using Dirt. This can be done by first crafting a Glass Bottle using three Glass blocks. Minecraft Glass is produced in a Furnace using Sand. Next, fill the bottles with water and then pour the water onto any Dirt block to have it transform instantly into Mud. This procedure works on Coarse Dirt and Rooted Dirt as well.
Once Minecraft players have Mud, they need to procure the primary ingredient for Mud Bricks, Packed Mud. Packed Mud is a shapeless crafting recipe that can be made using Mud and Wheat. Once fans have four blocks of Packed Mud, they can place the blocks in a square shape on the crafting grid to produce Mud Bricks.
Minecraft is available on PC, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
