Natural generation

Dirt is the ordinary soil layer beneath grass in many Overworld landscapes. It also appears as a target for underground dirt ore and as the substrate used by several surface features, so the block is common both in exposed terrain and below the surface.

Surface role	Soil beneath grass blocks

Crafting

Dirt is one ingredient in the shaped recipe for coarse dirt. Two dirt and two gravel are arranged diagonally to produce four coarse dirt blocks.

Data: Crafting
Recipe	2 dirt + 2 gravel
Output	4 coarse dirt
Recipe type	Shaped 2×2

Usage

The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.

A shovel flattens dirt into a dirt path when the block above is air. A hoe tills dirt into farmland under the same open-sky condition, making dirt the basic starting point for paths and crop plots.

Shape	Full cube
Rendering	Isometric preview
Shovel action	Dirt → dirt path
Hoe action	Dirt → farmland
Required space	Air above the block
