A decorated pot is a storage block crafted from bricks and/or pottery sherds, with the items used individually affecting the appearance of its four side faces. It can store a single inventory slot's worth of items, which cannot be seen or retrieved by hand without breaking the pot.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

Decorated pots can be broken with any tool and are mined instantly. A decorated pot drops the four pottery sherds or bricks used to craft it when mined with a pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe or sword not enchanted with Silk Touch. It drops itself when mined with anything else, including tools listed above enchanted with Silk Touch. In either case, the tool does not lose durability.

A decorated pot breaks when hit by one of the following projectiles, causing it to shatter into sherds or bricks:

A decorated pot also shatters if a player collides with it while flying using elytra boosted by a firework rocket.

A decorated pot drops itself if pushed by a piston. It also always drops itself when destroyed by an explosion, similar to other precious blocks such as beacons and shulker boxes.[1]

Stored items are dropped when the decorated pot is broken, regardless of whether the pot shatters into sherds or drops itself. Breaking a pot is the only way to access the stored items without using a hopper.

In Java Edition, if the cracked block state is set to true, a decorated pot always drops sherds or bricks regardless of the breaking method.

It is possible to use any combination of bricks and pottery sherds.

The decorated pot's side textures correspond to the item used in the crafting. If a pottery sherd is used, that side bears the texture of that pottery sherd, if a brick is used, that side bears the default texture.

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

Decorated pots naturally generate in trial chambers, with loot inside. Decorated pots in the trial chambers are composed of either four bricks or three bricks and either one flow, guster, or scrape pottery sherd.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Decorated pots can be used for decoration. Due to the top part of the decorated pot having no collision, other blocks can be placed on top of them, including other decorated pots and regular flower pots, which are required to place a flower in the decorated pot.

Pressing the use control on a decorated pot causes it to play a wobble animation, triggering a vibration frequency of 11.

Decorated pots crafted without sherds can also serve as a temporary building block, similar to scaffolding and slime blocks, because they are easy to craft, stack to 64, and can be broken instantly by hand.

Storage[edit | edit source]

A decorated pot can store up to a stack of a single type of item. Unlike other containers, decorated pots have no GUI; items are inserted by interacting with the pot or by using droppers or hoppers. The only way to retrieve stored items is by breaking the pot or by using hoppers and minecarts with hopper.

Decorated pots crafted without sherds can also serve as compact storage for bricks, as they are stackable, each can be crafted from four bricks and can be broken down into four bricks.

A redstone comparator can be used to measure the number of stored items.

Sounds[edit | edit source]

Generic[edit | edit source]

Decorated pots switch to the shattered sounds immediately before breaking when destroyed by a non-Silk Touch tool.

Issues[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Decorated Pot" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Decorated pots were originally planned to generate in ancient cities, but the idea was scrapped.
  • If an item that is not a brick or pottery sherd is applied to the side of a decorated pot using commands, it renders the same pattern as a brick.
  • There are a total of 244 / 4 (82,944) unique decorated pots that can be crafted, because each of the 4 slots used to craft a pot can be any one of the 23 pottery sherds or a brick, and each pot has 4 symmetric rotations.
  • The developers consider the decorated pots as a sort of piggy bank because recovering any items stored in it requires breaking the decorated pot.[3]
