A clay fetish is a small clay statue that changes the weather when it is played like a horn. It comes in two variants with the same name, told apart by their description: Rejoice, which clears the weather, and Lament, which brings rain. Clay fetishes are found by brushing suspicious blocks.

The chances above are for each variant separately. Both are equally likely, so the chance of finding a clay fetish of either kind is the two rows combined.[1]
Usage
A clay fetish is a goat horn with its own sound. Using it plays a low, soul-sand-valley ambience sound that can be heard up to 16 blocks away, and 3 seconds later changes the weather:[2][3]
| Description | Effect |
|---|---|
| Rejoice | Sets the weather to clear.[4] |
| Lament | Sets the weather to rain.[5] |
The weather is changed with the /weather command, so it lasts a random, vanilla-length time. Like a goat horn, a clay fetish is not used up; after playing it, it has a 30-second cooldown.[6] It works for any player in multiplayer.

Trivia
- The items' internal names are still "cheerful clay statue" and "mournful clay statue", from their names when added in 0.5-alpha.
- The developer chose not to explain fetishes in the advancements: "some things, I will not give advancements for (Jewellery, Special Books, Villages, Fetishes (that one im iffy on), etc.)". An advancement for finding one was added in 1.10, but it doesn't say what they do.[10]
- The design video mentions them in passing: "I even added little statues that let you change the weather."[11]
