Pick a sherd or a plain brick for each of the four faces, then copy the /give command. The faces are listed in the order the game stores them: back, left, right, front.
/give @s minecraft:decorated_pot[minecraft:pot_decorations=["minecraft:brick","minecraft:brick","minecraft:brick","minecraft:brick"]]pot_decorations is a list of four item ids in the order back, left, right, front. Use minecraft:brick for a plain face. Works in Minecraft Java 1.20.5 and newer.

Pottery sherds are archaeology finds, each painted with a small picture, and four of them craft into a decorated pot. This page shows every sherd with its real texture and lets you design a pot face by face, then copy a ready /give command for maps, datapacks and command blocks.
You recover sherds by brushing suspicious sand and gravel at archaeology sites. Trail ruins, desert temples, desert wells and ocean ruins all hide these blocks, and brushing one slowly reveals either a sherd or another buried item. There are 23 sherd patterns in total, from the heart and skull to the archer, sniffer and the sherds that came with the Trial Chambers and Pale Garden updates.
Search the gallery to find a pattern, click a sherd to copy its item id, or jump to the designer to build a pot. Drop locations vary by site, so the gallery focuses on what each sherd looks like rather than guessing exactly where each one drops.
A decorated pot is crafted from four items placed in a diamond in the crafting grid, which become its four faces:
1. Place an item in the top middle slot, one in the left middle, one in the right middle, and one in the bottom middle, leaving the four corner slots empty.
2. Use a pottery sherd for a face that should show a picture, or a plain brick for a blank face. Four bricks make a fully plain pot.
3. Break a decorated pot and it shatters, dropping its sherds back so you can recraft it. Mine it with a Silk Touch tool to recover the whole pot intact.
Pottery sherds are recovered through archaeology. Find a suspicious sand or suspicious gravel block in a structure, equip a brush, and slowly brush the block until the sherd pops out. They are found at archaeology sites such as trail ruins, desert temples, desert wells, ocean ruins and cold ocean ruins, with different patterns turning up at different sites.
Place four pottery sherds, or plain bricks, in the crafting grid in a diamond pattern: one in the top middle, one in the left middle, one in the right middle and one in the bottom middle, leaving the four corners empty. Each item you place becomes one of the pot's four faces. Using four bricks makes a plain pot, and a broken decorated pot drops its sherds back unless you break it with a tool that has Silk Touch.
There are 23 pottery sherd patterns, each showing a different picture such as a heart, a skull, an archer or a sniffer. The game also lists a blank pattern, which is the plain brick face used when a side has no sherd, so a decorated pot can show any mix of the 23 sherds and plain bricks across its four faces.
Use /give @s minecraft:decorated_pot with the pot_decorations component, which is a list of four item ids in the order back, left, right, front. For example pot_decorations=["minecraft:brick","minecraft:skull_pottery_sherd","minecraft:brick","minecraft:heart_pottery_sherd"]. Pick your sherds in the designer above and copy the full command. It works in Minecraft Java 1.20.5 and newer.
Yes. A decorated pot has four faces, and each face is set independently by the sherd or brick used to craft it. You can give every side a different picture, repeat a pattern, or leave some sides as plain brick. The designer on this page lets you set all four faces and shows the exact order the game stores them in.
