	Dirt comprises the majority of the upper terrain layers in most Overworld biomes, bridging the gap between [[Minecraft:stone]] and [[Minecraft:grass block]]s in various thicknesses.		Dirt comprises the majority of the upper terrain layers in most Overworld biomes, bridging the gap between [[Minecraft:stone]] and [[Minecraft:grass block]]s in various thicknesses.

	There are approximately 1,850 dirt blocks per [[Minecraft:chunk]] in [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:forest]], [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:jungle]], and [[Minecraft:windswept hills]] biomes. In [[Minecraft:village]]s, dirt generates naturally as part of several different structures. In [[Minecraft:woodland mansion]]s, dirt generates in several types of rooms. Four blocks of dirt ~~generates~~ as part of each [[Minecraft:ancient city]] near the center. Dirt can also generate in [[Minecraft:trail ruins]] and at the base of trees in [[Minecraft:trial chambers]] entrances.

	Dirt can generate in the Overworld in the form of [[Minecraft:Ore (feature)\|ore blob]]s. Dirt attempts to generate 7 times per [[Minecraft:chunk]] in blobs of size 0–160 at Y=0–160, in all biomes. It can replace [[Minecraft:stone]], [[Minecraft:granite]], [[Minecraft:andesite]], [[Minecraft:diorite]], polished granite{{only\|be\|short=1}}, polished andesite{{only\|be\|short=1}}, polished diorite{{only\|be\|short=1}}, [[Minecraft:tuff]]{{only\|je\|short=1}}, and [[Minecraft:deepslate]]{{only\|je\|short=1}}.
