Farmland
minecraft:farmlandFarmland is a tilled soil block created by using a hoe on dirt, grass, or dirt paths, and is required to plant most crops. Nearby water within four blocks, or rainfall, hydrates it and speeds crop growth, while leaving it dry and unplanted or jumping on it will revert it back into plain dirt.
FAQ
How do I create farmland?
Use a hoe on dirt, grass blocks, or dirt paths to till them into farmland.
What happens if my farmland dries out?
Farmland eventually decays back into dirt if it stays dehydrated with nothing planted in it, so keeping water nearby prevents this.
Can mobs or players destroy farmland by walking on it?
Only jumping onto farmland tramples it into dirt; walking across it normally causes no damage, and very small mobs cannot trample it at all.
Does rain help my crops grow?
Yes, rainfall hydrates farmland the same way nearby water does, boosting crop growth speed.
