Minecraft:Soul Soil: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:05, 9 April 2026

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox block Soul soil is a Minecraft:block found abundantly in soul sand valleys. It does not slow down entities, but still activates Soul Speed. It can also be used to create soul fire, and generate Minecraft:basalt when paired with blue ice and Minecraft:lava.

Obtaining

Breaking

The suitable tool to break soul soil is Minecraft:shovel. Template:Breaking row Soul soil drops itself when it's destroyed.

Natural generation

Soul soil generates naturally in the soul sand valley biome.

Template:Block distribution

Soul campfire

Soul campfires drop soul soil when broken without Minecraft:Silk Touch. Because soul campfires can be crafted with soul sand, which is a renewable resource, soul soil is thus renewable as well.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Usage

Unlike soul sand, soul soil does not slow mobs down, does not create bubble columns in water, and is a full block in vertical size (meaning mobs or players do not sink inside of it).

Soul Speed

While wearing boots with the Soul Speed enchantment, players walk more quickly on soul soil.

Fire

Fire lit on soul soil becomes soul fire.

Withers

Template:FakeImage 4 blocks of soul soil (or soul sand) are used in the construction of a Minecraft:wither. (See Template:Slink)

Basalt

Minecraft:Lava on top of soul soil and directly adjacent to blue ice turns into Minecraft:basalt. (See Tutorial:Basalt farming)

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Sulfur cubes 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.
