How to get Clay Blocks in Minecraft?

Clay is a useful resource to make a number of things in Minecraft. One of these things is clay blocks, which can then be used to make other decorative blocks. 

That said, if you want to make clay blocks in Minecraft, you will need to gather clay up from water sources. You find clay usually in oceans, beaches, swamps, and in both rivers and lakes. 

You can also get the whole clay block if you nab yourself silk touch enchantmentBest Minecraft Pickaxe Enchantmentsand put it on your shovel. The best way to get this enchantment is to use the enchanting table. That way, when you got to mine clay blocks, you get the whole block instead of it breaking into clay balls.
