Gravel

Gravel is a naturally occuring block mostly found below ground. When broken it has a chance to yield 1 flint. Gravel also uses gravity, it will fall if there is no block directly below it. If a block of gravel falls on you, you will suffocate and take damage until you move away form the block of gravel or break it. Gravel falling makes it harder to mine aroud gravel beaches.Gravel uses the same texture as gravel in Minecraft Classic.

Trivia

 * Rarely, large quantities of gravel can be generated above ground seen here:
 * As gravel can yield flint - it is possible to "farm" gravel. You could have many blocks of gravel and destroy them as many times as you want until you have all the flint you need.
 * Gravel_Beach.jpgl, in the PE version, does break on torches, flowers, saplings, etc. but does not give blocks back or flint. Useful for getting rid of gravel when you don't want it.
