Wet Bricks are pieces of Clay shaped into a rectangular form, suitable for construction once dried, either by sunlight or by being fired in a Brick Oven or Kiln. Placed Wet Bricks can be picked up slowly by hand or quickly with a Shovel, and in both instances will revert back to Clay with no losses.
Wet Bricks can be placed directly on the ground. If subject to direct sunlight for a full day without being disturbed, Wet Bricks will turn into a dry Brick, which can be picked up by hand. Anything walking on placed Wet Bricks, including mobs or players, will cause it to pop off into a Clay item and eventually be lost. Consider placing them in a protected location or elevation where mobs cannot interfere with the drying process.
The simplest, safest way to dry bricks is to place them on a floating log platform, since mobs can't spawn on wood
A small stair can be added to the side, so you don't have to jump too much and waste food, as long as it is at least 2 blocks away
No blocks should be placed that allows spiders to climb up, so for example this platform isn't 100% safe since spiders could climb up the dirt
Once you can craft planks, it's easier to make a larger drying rack, to dry more clay every night. It is common practice to have at least 18 Brick Ovens in your base, to cook Iron faster
