'''Bricks'''{{fn|Known as '''Bricks''' {{in|java}} and '''Brick Block''' {{in|bedrock}}.}} are a decorative building [[block]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Bricks naturally generate in [[underwater ruins]], and in [[plains]] village armorer houses. They can also spawn in [[trail ruins]].

=== Breaking ===
Bricks can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
