Minecraft:Mud

Mud is a block found abundantly in Minecraft:mangrove swamps or created by using a Minecraft:water bottle on any type of Minecraft:dirt block. It can be used for Minecraft:crafting or converted into Minecraft:clay using Minecraft: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 Minecraft:mangrove swamp biome. Mud can also generate in Minecraft:trail ruins and in some entrance rooms of Minecraft:trial chambers.

Mob loot

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

Post-generation

Template:Control a Minecraft:water bottle on Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:coarse dirt, or Minecraft: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; Minecraft:entities standing on mud sink slightly into it, similar to Minecraft: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 Minecraft: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 Minecraft:azalea tree converts mud and muddy mangrove roots into Minecraft:rooted dirt, which can be Minecraft:hoed into Minecraft:dirt.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Minecraft: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.
