minecraft:dirtDirt is one of the most abundant blocks in the Overworld, found beneath grass in plains, forests, and most other biomes. It can be tilled into farmland with a hoe, used as cheap building material, or combined with gravel to make coarse dirt.
FAQ
How do you get dirt in Minecraft?
Break it with any tool (a shovel is fastest) — dirt generates abundantly under grass blocks in most biomes, and also drops from farmland, dirt paths, grass blocks, mycelium, and podzol when broken.
Does dirt turn into grass?
Yes, dirt adjacent to a grass block at a light level of 4 or higher has a chance each game tick to spread and convert into grass itself.
What is dirt used for?
It can be tilled into farmland for crops, used as basic building and scaffolding material, or crafted with gravel into coarse dirt.
Can dirt be turned into mud?
Yes, using a water bottle on a dirt block converts it into mud, which can then be used to grow mangrove roots.
