'''Dirt''' is a [[Minecraft:block]] found abundantly in most [[Minecraft:biome]]s under a layer of grass blocks at the top of the [[Minecraft:Overworld]] as well as in patches underground.

Dirt can be broken with any [[Minecraft:tool]], but a [[Minecraft:shovel]] is the quickest. Dirt drops itself when it's destroyed.

Dirt comprises the majority of the upper terrain layers in most Overworld biomes, bridging the gap between [[Minecraft:stone]] and grass blocks in various thicknesses.
Dirt comprises the majority of the upper terrain layers in most Overworld biomes, bridging the gap between [[Minecraft:stone]] and [[Minecraft:grass block]]s in various thicknesses.


There are approximately 1,850 dirt blocks per chunk in plains, forest, snowy plains, jungle, and windswept hills biomes. In villages, dirt generates naturally as part of several different structures. In woodland mansions, dirt generates in several types of rooms. Four blocks of dirt generates as part of each ancient city near the center. Dirt can also generate in trail ruins and at the base of trees in trial chambers entrances.

Dirt can generate in the Overworld in the form of ore blobs. Dirt attempts to generate 7 times per chunk in blobs of size 0–160 at Y=0–160, in all biomes.

{{See also|Tutorial:Dirt farming}}
By tilling coarse dirt, the player can convert [[Minecraft:gravel]] into dirt. Two blocks each of gravel and dirt become four blocks of coarse dirt, which can then be placed and tilled. Since gravel is renewable through bartering with [[Minecraft:piglin]]s, this makes a renewable source of dirt.

Since gravel is renewable through [[Minecraft:bartering]] with [[Minecraft:piglin]]s, this makes a renewable source of dirt.


Another way to obtain renewable dirt makes use of moss blocks. [[Minecraft:Azalea]] converts the moss block below it into rooted dirt when grown into a tree. {{MC/In|be}}, most [[Minecraft:sapling]]s will convert the [[Minecraft:Moss Block|moss]] directly below it into dirt, sometimes a minute after it's grown into a tree. {{MC/In|java}}, large spruce trees convert up to about 100 moss blocks into podzol when grown. Since moss can be converted from stone using bone meal, and stone can be renewably generated with water and [[Minecraft:lava]], dirt can be renewably created as long as there is access to water, lava and moss blocks.

A third way to obtain renewable dirt is by buying podzol or rooted dirt from wandering traders. However, only 18 blocks of podzol or 10 blocks of rooted dirt can be purchased from each trader, so this method cannot be performed on a large scale.

Template:For Template:Infobox block Dirt is a Minecraft:block found abundantly in most Minecraft:biomes under a layer of Minecraft:grass blocks at the top of the Minecraft:Overworld as well as in patches underground.

Obtaining

Breaking

Dirt can be broken with any Minecraft:tool, but a Minecraft:shovel is the quickest. Dirt drops itself when it's destroyed. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Dirt comprises the majority of the upper terrain layers in most Overworld biomes, bridging the gap between Minecraft:stone and Minecraft:grass blocks in various thicknesses.

There are approximately 1,850 dirt blocks per Minecraft:chunk in Minecraft:plains, Minecraft:forest, Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:jungle, and Minecraft:windswept hills biomes. In Minecraft:villages, dirt generates naturally as part of several different structures. In Minecraft:woodland mansions, dirt generates in several types of rooms. Four blocks of dirt generates as part of each Minecraft:ancient city near the center. Dirt can also generate in Minecraft:trail ruins and at the base of trees in Minecraft:trial chambers entrances.

Dirt can generate in the Overworld in the form of ore blobs. Dirt attempts to generate 7 times per Minecraft:chunk in blobs of size 0–160 at Y=0–160, 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.

Template:Block distribution

Mob loot

An Minecraft:enderman that picks up and holds a dirt block drops it upon death.

Block drops

Minecraft:Farmland, Minecraft:dirt paths, grass blocks, Minecraft:mycelium, and Minecraft:podzol drop dirt if broken without Minecraft:Silk Touch. Farmland and dirt pathsTemplate:Only drop dirt even if broken with Silk Touch.

Post-generation

Minecraft:Farmland turns into dirt if either a Minecraft:mob jumps on it, a solid block is placed over it, or nothing is planted on it and it is not within four blocks of Minecraft:water.

A Minecraft:dirt path immediately turns into dirt if a solid block is placed over it.

Minecraft:Coarse dirt can be tilled with a Minecraft:hoe to become dirt.

Tilling Minecraft:rooted dirt with a hoe turns it into normal dirt and yields a Minecraft:hanging roots item.

Grass blocks and Minecraft:mycelium can die under various circumstances (Most often when a solid, opaque block is placed on top of them). When they die, they turn into dirt.

Renewability

Template:See also By tilling coarse dirt, the player can convert Minecraft:gravel into dirt. Two blocks each of gravel and dirt become four blocks of coarse dirt, which can then be placed and tilled. Since gravel is renewable through Minecraft:bartering with Minecraft:piglins, this makes a renewable source of dirt.

Another way to obtain renewable dirt makes use of Minecraft:moss blocks. Minecraft:Azalea converts the moss block below it into rooted dirt when grown into a tree. Template:IN, most Minecraft:saplings will convert the moss directly below it into dirt, sometimes a minute after it's grown into a tree. Template:IN, large Minecraft:spruce trees convert up to about 100 moss blocks into podzol when grown. Since moss can be converted from stone using Minecraft:bone meal, and stone can be renewably generated with water and Minecraft:lava, dirt can be renewably created as long as there is access to water, lava and moss blocks.

A third way to obtain renewable dirt is by buying podzol or rooted dirt from Minecraft:wandering traders. However, only 18 blocks of podzol or 10 blocks of rooted dirt can be purchased from each trader, so this method cannot be performed on a large scale.

Usage

Dirt's primary use is for farming, but due to its abundance, it can also be used as a highly available building block or as temporary scaffolding.

Crafting ingredient

Template:Crafting usage

Farming

Dirt has the ability to grow Minecraft:saplings, Minecraft:sugar cane, Minecraft:mushrooms, Minecraft:sweet berries, and Minecraft:bamboo, which can be planted directly in dirt under appropriate conditions.

Using a Minecraft:hoe on dirt turns it into Minecraft:farmland, enabling Minecraft:wheat seeds, Minecraft:pumpkin seeds, Minecraft:melon seeds, Minecraft:potatoes, Minecraft:carrots, Minecraft:beetroot seeds, Minecraft:pitcher pods, and Minecraft:torchflower seeds to be planted on it.

Dirt path

Template:Control a Minecraft:shovel on dirt turns it into a Minecraft:dirt path.

Grass and mycelium spreading

Template:See also When a dirt block is adjacent to a grass block and is exposed to a Minecraft:light level of at least 4, it is eventually converted into a grass block at random intervals.

Minecraft:Mycelium spreads in a similar fashion, but requires a light level of at least 9.

Mud

Template:Control a Minecraft:water bottle, Minecraft:splash water bottle or Minecraft:lingering water bottle will convert the dirt into Minecraft:mud.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft:Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb dirt, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
