Building · How it works
Building materials
Beyond planks and stone: bricks, tiles, terracotta, stone bricks, polished quartz, asphalt, thatch, metal, glass, wool and concrete.
In the game
How to get it
Fire clay and sand in the Furnace, then shape them at the grid: 4 bricks = a brick block, 8 terracotta round bone meal = white tiles, 4 rock round clay = stone bricks, 4 quartz = polished quartz, gravel + tar + sand = asphalt, 4 straw = thatch.
What it is for
Give each building its own look: brick houses, tiled kitchens, quartz halls, asphalt roads, thatched cottages, metal workshops.
Why it exists
A world of builders deserves more than wood and stone.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Every material below can be placed voxel by voxel or cut into Block shapes.

| Stone bricks | 4 cells of rock round clay | 64 voxels |
| Polished quartz | 4 cells of quartz ore | 64 voxels |
| Asphalt | gravel, tar and sand in a row | 32 voxels |
| Thatch | 4 straw | 16 voxels |
| Metal | an iron ingot (plate); 4 copper, steel or aluminium ingots (blocks) | 16 voxels; 64 voxels |
