How to Make a Flower Pot in Minecraft: Complete Step-by-Step Crafting Guide
Clay forms the sole prerequisite for crafting flower pots. You will find it submerged along shallow ocean shores, swamp waters, river bends, and throughout subterranean lush cave biomes. Submerged clay blocks appear as light-gray patches distinct from the textured yellow of sand or the mottled gray of gravel.
Harvesting a clay block with any shovel, or bare hands, shatters the block into 4 clay balls. A single clay block yields more than enough raw material for one pot. If you mine with a Silk Touch enchantment, the block drops intact; place it on dry land and break it with an unenchanted tool to extract the clay balls. For players running expansive builds, lush caves offer immense vertical deposits of clay along cave lakes, far exceeding the flat surface deposits found in swamp waterways.
