Dirt is the block that lies under grass in most biomes.

Obtaining

Breaking

Breaking dirt drops it, whatever breaks it. Grass and farmland drop dirt too. A shovel breaks it fastest.

Natural generation

Dirt is the filler under the top block of every biome except Desert and Ice Desert, and the top block itself where the ground lies under water.

Dirt also forms veins in stone, as an ore does: 20 per chunk, of size 32, from y=0 to y=127.

Usage

Any hoe tills dirt into farmland.

Grass spreads onto dirt.

Flowers, roses, saplings, tall grass and sugar cane stand on dirt. Sugar cane needs water beside the dirt block.
