Minecraft:Dirt Path
More actions
Template:Hatnote Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block Dirt paths are decorative blocks. They are mainly found in villages as a path for the villagers.
Obtaining
Breaking
A Minecraft:shovel is the most efficient Minecraft:tool for mining dirt paths.
in Template:Editions, a dirt path block can be directly obtained with a Minecraft:Silk Touch tool.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>
in Template:Editions, dirt paths always drop Minecraft:dirt when broken. Dirt path blocks can be obtained only via the Minecraft:Creative inventory, Minecraft:commands, or {{#vardefine: control | middle click on mouse }}pick block. They can still be created from placed dirt, however, by {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}using a Minecraft:shovel on dirt, as described in § Post-generation below.
Script error: No such module "breaking row".
Natural generation
Dirt paths are naturally generated in villages when pathways replace grass blocks. Their purpose is aesthetics, and additionally in Template:Editions, pathfinding for villagers. Most dirt paths connect to village structures and houses.
Dirt paths also generate as part of some village structures.
Although they can't be placed that way by the player, village generation can cause them to appear under other blocks.
Post-generation
Dirt paths can be created by {{#vardefine: control | right click on mouse or left trigger on gamepad }}using any type of Minecraft:shovel on the side or top of Minecraft:dirt, grass block, coarse dirt, Minecraft:mycelium, Minecraft:podzol, or rooted dirt that has air above it. The shovel then loses one durability.
Usage
Dirt paths are primarily used for decoration, although they also prevent hostile mobs from spawning. They are a similar color to grass blocks placed in a desert or savanna biome. They are only Template:Frac of a block high, therefore items that require a full block like Minecraft:torches and Minecraft:buttons cannot be placed on them. Minecraft:Villagers and iron golems prefer to use dirt paths the most when routing compared to any other block.Template:Only
A dirt path block converts to dirt instantly if a block with a solid material is placed on top of it.
Using a Minecraft:hoe on dirt path converts it to Minecraft:farmland. Since dirt paths can be created with any variant of dirt, it can be used as an intermediate step to convert Minecraft:podzol and Minecraft:mycelium, which cannot be tilled directly, into farmland.
in Template:Editions, using a flint and steel on a dirt path places Minecraft:fire on it. Doing this does not convert the path to dirt.
