Clay blobs were a terrain feature that existed as a way for clay blocks to generate naturally. They were superseded by clay disks.

Generation

Clay blobs would generate extremely similarly to conventional ore blobs (potentially even to the extent of being impacted by the same precision loss bugs), replacing sand blocks in beaches. They were common on desert coastlines as there was lots of sand to generate in. Elsewhere, they were quite uncommon.
