Bricks

For other crafted, brick-like blocks that are not formally grouped with bricks, see Crafted Blocks.

Bricks are a group of blocks that usually have a rectangular pattern. All bricks have the word "Brick" in their name (however, Mudstone Brick is called Mudstone Block on  Old-gen console version). Most bricks are crafted at a Furnace or a Work Bench, but some can only be found. All brick types are impervious to environmental effects such as grass growth or the spread of the evil biome, except the Gray Brick, which can have moss grow on it. All bricks have no value when sold to NPCs.
