Minecraft terracotta pixel art generator

About terracotta pixel art

Terracotta comes in 16 dyed colors plus plain terracotta. Badlands (mesa) biomes contain huge amounts of naturally colored terracotta, and you can smelt clay into terracotta and dye eight at a time. The palette is less saturated than wool or concrete, which is exactly what portraits and natural scenes need.

Skin tones are where terracotta shines: white, pink, orange, light gray and brown terracotta between them cover most complexions with subtle steps. Mix it with concrete using the “All full blocks” palette for the best of both.

Terracotta does not burn and needs a pickaxe, so it is as durable as concrete. Avoid glazed terracotta for pixel art — its patterns read as noise from a distance — which is why this generator only uses the plain dyed blocks.
