Ultimate Minecraft 1.20 Pottery Guide - Decorated Pots, Pottery Shards, Flower Pots & More!

Minecraft 1.20 introduced the pottery system with 20 new Pottery shards, three types of pots, and numerous interesting uses.

Clay can be found in two main places: riverbeds and lush caves, which are full of clay.

You need to smelt clay balls in a furnace, and each clay ball will turn into one brick.

A more efficient way of obtaining bricks is by trading with Mason villagers, who sell 10 bricks for one emerald.

To craft a flower pot, you place three bricks in a V-shape in the crafting grid, and this will yield one flower pot.

The new types of pottery are crafted similarly to the flowerpot, using four bricks placed in the crafting grid to create a decorated pot.

Pottery shards can be combined with bricks in the crafting grid to create decorated pots with various designs. You can use just one shard or replace all four bricks with shards, and these shards are removable and reusable.
