'''Soul soil''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] found abundantly in [[Minecraft:soul sand valley]]s. It does not slow down [[Minecraft:entities]], but still activates [[Minecraft:Soul Speed]]. It can also be used to create [[Minecraft:soul fire]], and generate [[Minecraft:basalt]] when paired with [[Minecraft:blue ice]] and [[Minecraft:lava]]. <br />
<br />
== Obtaining ==<br />
=== Breaking ===<br />
The suitable tool to break soul soil is [[Minecraft:shovel]].<br />
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Soul Soil|Shovel}}<br />
Soul soil drops itself when it's destroyed.<br />
<br />
=== Natural generation ===<br />
Soul soil generates naturally in the [[Minecraft:soul sand valley]] biome.<br />
<br />
{{Block distribution}}<br />
<br />
=== Soul campfire ===<br />
[[Minecraft:Soul campfire]]s drop soul soil when broken without [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]]. Because soul campfires can be crafted with [[Minecraft:soul sand]], which is a renewable resource, soul soil is thus renewable as well.<ref>{{bug|MC-178579||Soul campfires can be used to convert soul sand into soul soil|WAI}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Unlike soul sand, soul soil does not slow mobs down, does not create [[Minecraft:bubble column]]s in water, and is a full block in vertical size (meaning mobs or players do not sink inside of it).<br />
<br />
=== Soul Speed ===<br />
While wearing boots with the [[Minecraft:Soul Speed]] enchantment, players walk more quickly on soul soil.<br />
<br />
=== Fire ===<br />
Fire lit on soul soil becomes [[Minecraft:soul fire]].<br />
<br />
=== Withers ===<br />
{{FakeImage|align=right|{{BlockGrid|scale=2|w=Wither Skeleton Skull|s=Soul Soil|www|sss| s }}|The wither build configuration (with soul soil).}}<br />
4 blocks of soul soil (or [[Minecraft:soul sand]]) are used in the construction of a [[Minecraft:wither]]. (See {{Slink|Wither|Spawning}})<br />
<br />
=== Basalt ===<br />
[[Minecraft:Lava]] on top of soul soil and directly adjacent to [[Minecraft:blue ice]] turns into [[Minecraft:basalt]]. (See [[Minecraft:Tutorial:Basalt farming]])<br />

<br />
=== Crafting ingredient ===<br />
{{crafting usage}}<br />
<br />
=== Sulfur cube ===<br />
{{In development|drop=Chaos Cubed|section=1}}<br />
[[Minecraft:Sulfur cube]]s have the ability to absorb soul soil, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the high resistance effect to the mob when hitting it.<br />
