{{relevant tutorial|Root farming}}
'''Rooted dirt''' is a natural decorative block.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Rooted dirt can be mined with any tool or without a tool.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Rooted Dirt|Shovel}}

=== Natural generation ===
[[File:Azalea Tree with Roots.png|thumb|right|The rooted dirt generated along with the azalea tree.]]
Rooted dirt can generate under [[Minecraft:azalea tree]]s. Below the first block directly underneath the trunk, rooted dirt randomly replaces blocks in a 5×5 cross-section centered on the tree until it reaches the [[Minecraft:lush caves]] biome.

{{block distribution}}

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

{{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:wandering traders]] have a chance of 8.5% (increased by 1% per level of [[Minecraft:Looting]]) to drop 2 rooted dirt when killed while showing the item as trade offer, if the player holds an [[Minecraft:emerald]].

=== Trading ===
[[Minecraft:Wandering trader]]s may sell 2 rooted dirt for 1 [[Minecraft:emerald]].
{{Trade sources}}

=== Post-generation ===
Single rooted dirt replaces [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], [[Minecraft:mud]], [[Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots]], [[Minecraft:clay]], or [[Minecraft:moss block]]s below [[Minecraft:Log|oak logs]] where azalea trees are grown from [[Minecraft:azalea]] or [[Minecraft:flowering azalea]].

== Usage ==
Much like [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], neither [[Minecraft:mycelium]] nor [[Minecraft:grass]] can spread onto rooted dirt.

While it yields itself when dug, it does not convert into dirt after a block is placed onto it.

Rooted dirt blocks can be converted into [[Minecraft:dirt path]] blocks by {{Control|using}} any type of shovel on the side or top of rooted dirt with air above it.

=== Hanging roots ===
{{ctrl|Using}} [[Minecraft:bone meal]] on rooted dirt causes [[Minecraft:hanging roots]] to grow below the block, if space is available for it to grow.

Using a [[Minecraft:hoe]] on rooted dirt turns it into normal [[Minecraft:dirt]] and drops a [[Minecraft:hanging root]]s item.

=== Mud ===
{{Control|Using}} a [[Minecraft:water bottle]], [[Minecraft:splash water bottle]] or [[Minecraft:lingering water bottle]] converts the rooted dirt into [[Minecraft:mud]].

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

== Sounds ==
=== Generic ===
{{Edition|Java}}:<br>
Its sound is between that of wooden [[Minecraft:Planks#Normal|plank]]s and [[Minecraft:Dirt#Generic|dirt]] variants.
