Minecraft:Mud

Mud is a block found abundantly in mangrove swamps or created by using a water bottle on any type of Minecraft:dirt block. It can be used for Minecraft:crafting or converted into Minecraft:clay using pointed dripstone.

Obtaining

Breaking

Mud can be broken by hand and by any Minecraft:tool, but using a Minecraft:shovel speeds up the process. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

Mud generates in the mangrove swamp biome. Mud can also generate in trail ruins and in some entrance rooms of trial chambers.

Mob loot

An Minecraft:enderman holding a mud block drops the block upon death.

Post-generation

Template:Control a water bottle on Minecraft:dirt, coarse dirt, or rooted dirt transforms it into mud. This process can be automated using a Minecraft:dispenser.

To turn dirt into mud, the water bottle cannot be used on the bottom face of the block.<ref>Template:Bug</ref> However, a dispenser can still be used even if it is used on the bottom face.

Usage

Template:See also Mud is not a full block, and as such, it has some unique properties; entities standing on mud sink slightly into it, similar to soul sand. Unlike soul sand, however, mud does not slow the movement speed of mobs or players that walk on it. Falling blocks such as Minecraft:sand also drop as an item when landing on it, and a Minecraft:hopper that is under a mud block can collect items dropped on top of it.

Items on top of mud move alongside it when it is pushed by a Minecraft:piston.

Clay

If mud is placed directly above a block that has pointed dripstone underneath, it eventually turns into Minecraft:clay. This conversion does not happen in Minecraft:the Nether.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Dirt

Growing an azalea tree converts mud and muddy mangrove roots into rooted dirt, which can be Minecraft:hoed into Minecraft:dirt.

Sulfur cube

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