	=== Natural generation ===		=== Natural generation ===
	Gravel is generated in [[Minecraft:disk]]s in [[Minecraft:~~river~~]]s, ~~shallow~~ oceans ~~and small pools~~ of water; in [[Minecraft:~~windswept gravelly hills~~]] ~~biomes covering most of the surface; underwater covering the bottom of sufficiently deep rivers and normal~~, cold, and frozen [[Minecraft:~~ocean~~]] ~~biomes~~, ~~as well as their deep variants;~~ and in the form of [[Minecraft:strip]]s in [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s.		Gravel is generated in [[Minecraft:disk]]s replacing [[Minecraft:dirt]] in shallow water, which is possible in any grassy biome except [[Minecraft:swamps]], but most commonly in [[Minecraft:rivers]], flatland biomes, and undeep oceans. One layer of gravel generates in deeper water bodies in almost any biome, most commonly in [[Minecraft:oceans]] (regular, cold, and frozen{{only\|je\|short=1}}). In [[Minecraft:Windswept Gravelly Hills\|windswept gravelly hills]], layers of gravel cover most of the surface, and they generate in the form of [[Minecraft:strip]]s in [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s.

	Gravel can generate in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] in the form of [[Minecraft:ore feature]]s. Gravel attempts to generate 14 times per [[Minecraft:chunk]] in ore features of size 0-160, at all [[Minecraft:altitude\|level]]s and 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}}.

	In [[Minecraft:the Nether]], gravel generates naturally in layers along the shores of the [[Minecraft:lava sea]], in all biomes except [[Minecraft:Crimson Forest\|crimson]] and [[Minecraft:warped forest]]s. The layers are one block deep in [[Minecraft:Nether wastes]], and 3-5 blocks deep in [[Minecraft:soul sand valley]] and [[Minecraft:basalt deltas]].

	If the supporting block below a block of gravel is removed, it falls until it lands on the next available block. More specifically, the gravel block turns into a "falling block" [[Minecraft:entity]], which is affected by gravity; when the falling block lands on a block with a solid top surface, it becomes a block again. More information about the falling block entity is available in the main article listed above.
