	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}}.

	Gravel can also generate as part of ~~cold~~ [[Minecraft:ocean ruins]], some warm ocean ruins, [[Minecraft:trail ruins]], [[Minecraft:villages]] and [[Minecraft:abandoned camp]]s.{{upcoming\|~~Third Drop 2026~~}}		Gravel can also generate as part of [[Minecraft:cold ocean ruins]], some [[Minecraft:warm ocean ruins]], [[Minecraft:trail ruins]], [[Minecraft:villages]] and [[Minecraft:abandoned camp]]s.{{upcoming\|Wilderness Bound}}

	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]].
