What is Terracotta in Minecraft?

Terracotta is a solid block in Minecraft that is often used for decorations. It is smoother than regular stone or dirt, making it ideal for building walls, floors, or detailed patterns. You can also dye it in 16 different colors, giving you plenty of options to match your style.
