Pottery sherds[note 1] are items with 23 variants used to craft decorated pots with ornamental designs. Pottery sherds are found in trial chambers, suspicious sand, and suspicious gravel.
There are 23 pottery sherds:
When a decorated pot is broken with a pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, sword, mace, or trident that is not enchanted with Silk Touch, it drops all of the pottery sherds and bricks used to craft it. If it is broken with your fist or tools enchanted with Silk Touch the pot itself will drop.
Pottery sherds can be found as suspicious sand or suspicious gravel loot in trail ruins, ocean ruins, desert pyramids, and desert wells, and can be extracted from these blocks using a brush.

Decorated pots with scrape, flow, and guster pottery sherds on their sides naturally generate in trial chambers. For a randomly generated pot in trial chambers, there is 1⁄13 chance for each sherd respectively, that a pot has one of these sherds.
