Dirt is a block in Minecraft Pocket Edition that was added in Pre-Release. It is a commonly available block as it spawns in every Biome. It can be mined by using a Shovel or hand. It was one of the first blocks added into the game. It can also be found underground.

Grass

Main Article: Grass Block

When Dirt is placed in a light level of 9 or above, it can turn into a Grass Block if there is a Grass Block directly adjacent to it.

Uses

Dirt is mostly used for Farming by converting it into Farmland using a Hoe. The player can also use it to make a Grass Path, by letting it become a Grass Block and tapping it with a Shovel. However, it can also be used as an abundant building block, or for safely elevating oneself (by jumping and quickly placing the block underneath) as it is easily broken and collected when the player chooses to drop back down to surface level.

Trivia

  • Dirt can be used as an emergency block, as if the player gets lost at night, the player can make a makeshift shelter around themselves.
  • There are many blocks in Minecraft PE that are based around dirt, including Grass Paths, Mycelium, Podzol, and Farmland.
  • Mycelium can spread onto Dirt Blocks in Mushroom Islands.
  • Dirt is the second most common block in the game (the first being Stone).
  • If a hoe is used on Dirt, it will turn into Farmland.
  • The player is unable to craft anything out of Dirt.
  • Dirt is one of the oldest blocks ever in Minecraft history.
