Grass Path

Grass Path (aka Road Blocks or  Pressed Dirt) are blocks that were added in Update 0.11.0. They can be made by tapping a grass block with any type of Shovel.

Uses
Grass Paths can be used for purposes regarding decoration, but their main purpose is to replace Gravel pathways in Villages. Also they will not grow into Grass unlike Dirt, making it a great pathway.

Trivia

 * Grass Paths are only 15/16 of the height of a normal dirt block.
 * Grass Paths resemble the Grass found in Savannas due to their yellowish color.
 * It is due to Grass Paths that Iron Shovels were added to the Creative Mode inventory. Later all other tools followed.
 * Grass Paths were added to PC in Update 1.9, however, it was in PE before PC, and it is no longer an exclusive feature.
 * Dirt cannot be used to make a Grass Path.
 * Like Grass, Mycelium, Podzol, and Farmland, it will be turned into Dirt when mined or when a block is placed on it.
 * It can only be obtained by mining it with an Enchanted tool with Silk Touch, or through inventory editing.
