When a player ‌ or dispenser creates a mud block When a player or dispenser creates a mud block While the block is in the process of being broken Using a water bottle, splash water bottle or lingering water bottle will convert the dirt into mud. Mycelium spreads in a similar fashion, but requires a light level of at least 9.

When a dirt block is adjacent to a grass block and is exposed to a light level of at least 4, it is eventually converted into a grass block at random intervals. 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.ĭirt's primary use is for farming, but it can also be used as a highly available building block. Since moss can be converted from stone using bone meal, and stone can be renewably generated with water and lava, dirt can be renewably created as long as there is access to water, lava and moss blocks.Ī third way to obtain renewable dirt is by buying podzol or rooted dirt from wandering traders. In Java Edition, Large spruce trees convert up to about 100 moss blocks into podzol when grown. Azalea converts the moss block below it into rooted dirt when grown into a tree. Since gravel is renewable through bartering with piglins, this makes a renewable source of dirt.Īnother way to obtain renewable dirt makes use of moss blocks.

Two blocks each of gravel and dirt become four blocks of coarse dirt, which can then be placed and tilled. ĭirt drops as an item when broken with any tool or by hand, but a shovel is the quickest way to break it.īy tilling coarse dirt, the player can convert gravel into dirt. Moreover, it has the capability to replace stone, granite, andesite, diorite, polished granite‌, polished andesite‌, polished diorite‌, tuff‌, and deepslate‌.

It attempts to generate seven times within each chunk as blobs ranging in size from 0-160 at Y=0-160, across all biomes. Four blocks of dirt also generates as part of each ancient city and they also generate in trail ruins.ĭirt can also appear in the Overworld in the form of ore blobs. In woodland mansions, dirt generates in several types of rooms. In villages, dirt generates naturally as part of several different structures. There are approximately 1,850 dirt blocks per chunk in plains, forest, snowy plains, jungle, and windswept hills biomes. Dirt comprises the majority of the upper terrain layers in most Overworld biomes, bridging the gap between stone and grass blocks in various thicknesses.
