Template:For Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox block Gravel is a gravity-affected Minecraft:block found in the Minecraft:Overworld and Minecraft:the Nether. It is a source of Minecraft:flint, which has a chance to drop when gravel is broken.
Obtaining
Breaking
The suitable tool to break gravel is Minecraft:shovel. Template:Breaking row When destroyed using a tool without Minecraft:Silk Touch, gravel has a 10% chance to drop Minecraft:flint if this tool isn't enchanted with Minecraft:Fortune; It has a 14.2857…% (Template:Frac) to drop flint if the tool is enchanted with Fortune I, 25% for Fortune II, and 100% for Fortune III. If the flint is not dropped, gravel drops itself instead. <ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Gravel drops itself when destroyed using a tool with Silk Touch.
Natural generation
Gravel is generated in Minecraft:disks 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 frozenTemplate:Only). In Minecraft:windswept gravelly hills, layers of gravel cover most of the surface, and they generate in the form of Minecraft:strips in Minecraft:stony shores.
Gravel can generate in the Minecraft:Overworld in the form of Minecraft:ore features. Gravel attempts to generate 14 times per Minecraft:chunk in ore features of size 0-160, at all levels and in all biomes. It can replace Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, polished graniteTemplate:Only, polished andesiteTemplate:Only, polished dioriteTemplate:Only, Minecraft:tuffTemplate:Only, and Minecraft:deepslateTemplate:Only.
Gravel can also generate as part of Minecraft:cold ocean ruins, some Minecraft:warm ocean ruins, Minecraft:trail ruins, Minecraft:villages and Minecraft:abandoned camps.Template:Upcoming
In Minecraft:the Nether, gravel generates naturally in layers along the shores of the Minecraft:lava sea, in all biomes except crimson and Minecraft:warped forests. The layers are one block deep in Minecraft:Nether wastes, and 3-5 blocks deep in Minecraft:soul sand valley and Minecraft:basalt deltas.
Ore features of gravel in the Nether attempt to replace Minecraft:netherrack 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-160, from levels 5 to 41Template:Only or 36Template:Only, in all Nether biomes except Minecraft:basalt deltas.
Mob loot
An Minecraft:enderman holding gravel always drops the block upon death.
Bartering
Minecraft:Piglins may Minecraft:barter 8-16 gravel with a chance of ~8.53% (Template:Frac) when given a Minecraft:gold ingot.
Usage
Template:Main 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.
When gravel falls on a player or mob, it can result in suffocation inside gravel until the destruction of the block, or moving out of it, or dying. If falling gravel lands in a space occupied by a non-solid block (such as Minecraft:torches, Minecraft:rails, or Minecraft:redstone dust) or non-full block (such as Minecraft:slabs or Minecraft:soul sand<ref>Template:Bug</ref>), it breaks, then drops itself and never drops flint.<ref>Template:Bug</ref><ref>Template:Bug</ref>
Gravel can be placed on a non-solid block without falling.
Bamboo
Minecraft:Bamboo can be placed and grown on gravel.

Trivia
- Explosions launch falling gravel.
- If a player stands on a stack of sand or gravel and the stack falls onto a non-solid block, the player can fall fast enough to take damage or even die.
- Gravel often falls into caves, making a mock dead end. If a player encounters a gravel dead-end while mining, removing the gravel may reveal additional passageways.
