'''Mud''' is a block found abundantly in [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s or created by using a [[Minecraft:water bottle]] on any type of [[Minecraft:dirt]] block. It can be used for [[Minecraft:crafting]] or converted into [[Minecraft:clay]] using [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]].

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Mud can be broken by hand and by any [[Minecraft:tool]], but using a [[Minecraft:shovel]] speeds up the process.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mud|link=none|Shovel}}

=== Natural generation ===
Mud generates in the [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]] biome. Mud can also generate in [[Minecraft:trail ruins]] and in some entrance rooms of [[Minecraft:trial chambers]].

{{block distribution}}

=== Mob loot ===
An [[Minecraft:enderman]] holding a mud block drops the block upon death.

=== Post-generation ===
{{control|Using}} a [[Minecraft:water bottle]] on [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], or [[Minecraft:rooted dirt]] transforms it into mud. This process can be automated using a [[Minecraft:dispenser]].

To turn dirt into mud, the water bottle cannot be used on the bottom face of the block.<ref>{{bug|MC-253472||Dirt, rooted & coarse cannot be saturated (turned into mud) on the bottom face}}</ref> However, a dispenser can still be used even if it is used on the bottom face.

== Usage ==
{{See also|Solid block#Height}}
Mud is not a full block, and as such, it has some unique properties; [[Minecraft:entities]] standing on mud sink slightly into it, similar to [[Minecraft:soul sand]]. Unlike soul sand, however, mud does not slow the movement speed of mobs or players that walk on it. Falling blocks such as [[Minecraft:sand]] also drop as an item when landing on it, and a [[Minecraft:hopper]] that is under a mud block can collect items dropped on top of it.

Items on top of mud move alongside it when it is pushed by a [[Minecraft:piston]].

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Clay ===
If mud is placed directly above a block that has [[Minecraft:pointed dripstone]] underneath, it eventually turns into [[Minecraft:clay]]. This conversion does not happen in [[Minecraft:the Nether]].<ref>{{bug|MC-264720||Mud does not convert to clay in Nether with dripstone|WAI}}</ref>

=== Dirt ===
Growing an [[Minecraft:azalea tree]] converts mud and muddy mangrove roots into [[Minecraft:rooted dirt]], which can be [[Minecraft:hoe]]d into [[Minecraft:dirt]].

=== Sulfur cube ===
{{In development|section=1|drop=Chaos Cubed}}
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb mud, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
