Building Roofs with Shingles and Terracotta Bricks
Clay roofing shingles and fired terracotta bricks expand architectural masonry with 16 dyed color varieties.
Crafting Roof Shingles and Stairs
Fired clay shingles provide angled and overlapping textures designed specifically for rooflines. Stacking 2 
Terracotta blocks vertically in a crafting grid crafts 2 
Shingles. Players can also use a stonecutter, converting 1 Terracotta directly into 1 Shingles, 1 
Shingle Slab, or 1 
Shingle Stairs.
Once base shingles are crafted, they can be fashioned into sloped architectural profiles:
- Arranging 3 Shingles in a horizontal row yields 6 Shingle Slab.
- Arranging 6 Shingles in a standard stair layout produces 4 Shingle Stairs.
- A stonecutter converts 1 Shingles into 1 Shingle Slab or 1 Shingle Stairs.
Shingles can be dyed into 16 distinct color variants to match regional village palettes. Surrounding 1 dye item with 8 Shingles in a crafting table yields 8 dyed shingles, such as 
Black Shingles, 
Blue Shingles, or 
White Shingles. Each dyed color supports identical slab and stair recipes. Using dyed shingles allows builders to create colorful Mediterranean roofs, dark slate mansard caps, and pastel gables across mountain chalets.
Terracotta Bricks and Slabs
Terracotta bricks present refined, bonded brickwork with muted ceramic coloring. In a stonecutter, feeding 1 Terracotta produces 1 
Terracotta Bricks.
From these bricks, builders can shape stairs and slabs:
- Arranging 3 Terracotta Bricks horizontally produces 6
Terracotta Brick Slab. - Arranging 6 Terracotta Bricks in a stair layout yields 4
Terracotta Brick Stairs. - A stonecutter converts 1 Terracotta Bricks directly into 1 Terracotta Brick Slab or 1 Terracotta Brick Stairs.
Combining 8 Terracotta Bricks with 1 dye item produces 8 dyed brick blocks, such as 
Black Terracotta Bricks, 
Blue Terracotta Bricks, or 
White Terracotta Bricks. These bricks offer a clean, sophisticated alternative to rough stone and standard vanilla clay bricks, making them ideal for exterior facade trim, courtyards, and garden planters.
Ceramic Tiles and Mosaic Patterns
Checkerboard ceramic tiles provide glossy, durable flooring for bathrooms, kitchens, and grand entry halls. Arranging 2 Terracotta and 2 
Block of Quartz in an alternating two-by-two checkerboard pattern crafts 4 
Tiles.
Tiles can be shaped into slabs and recolored:
- Placing 3 Tiles in a horizontal row yields 6
Tile Slab. - A stonecutter converts 1 Tiles directly into 1 Tile Slab.
- Combining 8 Tiles with 1 dye item yields 8 dyed tile blocks, such as
Black Tiles, 
Blue Tiles, and 
White Tiles.
Interspersing dyed tile slabs with polished quartz borders establishes striking classical mosaic pathways through palace corridors and cathedral cloisters.
