How do I use the /setblock command?
Can someone please explain the /setblock command?
I want a command block to set a block if there is clay but not set a block if there is black wool. How do I do this?

The syntax for setblock is as follows:
/setblock <x> <y> <z> <blockName>
The setblock command can only be used for one block at a time. It cannot replace that block based on what it previously was.
Since your situation requires you to (presumably) fill more than one block, the /fill command would be more appropriate.
The syntax for filling only blocks of a certain type is as follows:
/fill [x1] [y1] [z1] [x2] [y2] [z2] [BlockToFill] 0 replace [BlockToBeReplaced]
So to replace all clay in the world, you would use this command:
/fill [x1] [y1] [z1] [x2] [y2] [z2] [BlockToFill] 0 replace minecraft:clay
Simply replace the x y z x2 y2 z2 values with the co-ordinates to fill, and [BlockToFill] with the ID of the block you wish to replace the clay with.

Type the command in the chat window and press the Enter key to run the command. This /fill command would replace all blocks in the fill region, including air. The replaced blocks will be dropped and can then be collected as if they were mined with a pickaxe or shovel.Using Commands in Minecraft: How to Use /setblock \u0026 /fill to Alter Terrain! | 1.11.2
