What can you craft from the ground? How to make regular soil out of rocky soil

Earth is one of the most common blocks in the game, as such it has no use. It's just an easily mined block that covers about 70% of the world. To build anything out of it is at least stupid, because it will be an ordinary “mud box”, and there are no crafts associated with it. But in this article, our conversation will focus specifically on this block and its “subblocks”.

Earth is one of the most common blocks in the game, but it has no use as such. It's just an easily mined block that covers about 70% of the world. To build anything out of it is at least stupid, because it will be an ordinary “mud box”, and there are no crafts associated with it. But in this article, our conversation will focus specifically on this block and its “subblocks”.

Namely:

  • Earth
  • Grass
  • Mycelium

Earth

Earth is a solid block found in abundance in the Overworld, often used to build a home for newbies. This block has the same texture on all 6 sides. Earth is the most common block on the surface, although it can be found underwater and deep in dungeons. Since the Earth is a very weak and not explosion-proof block, I do not recommend building a house from it - one creeper or TNT and your home will be gone (and it will look terrible.)

If an Earth block is located near a Grass or Mycelium block, then it will turn into this block under certain lighting (4+ for grass and 9+ for mycelium).

Although Earth is quickly mined by hand, you can speed up the process with a shovel. This block is mainly used to close various holes in caves or agriculture. So there is no need to assemble this block.

Grass

Grass is one of the very first blocks added to Minecraft. Uses 4 different textures on each side. Grass appears on Earth blocks if they are not underwater and there is no other block on them. In fact, it is no different from the Earth block except for texture and sounds.

Grass appears in the world when a biome is created. To create a grass block yourself you need to do the following:

  • Place a dirt block next to a grass block
  • Make sure the lighting is greater than or equal to 4
  • Wait for the block to convert

There is an opinion that the more grass blocks around, the sooner the ground will be covered with this very grass.

The reverse process (from grass to soil) is carried out in the following ways:

  • The light level is less than 4. Since the moon's light level is four, it will persist at night, but if an opaque block is placed on it, the grass will disappear.
  • A sheep is standing on the grass, that is, it eats grass.

Grass is used for feeding sheep and growing wool on them, for breeding animals, spawning mobs, in pixel art, for growth tall grass and flowers (using bone meal).

Mycelium

Mycelium is a block similar to grass in many ways, but can only be found in the mushroom biome. In addition, its peculiarity is that it emits some spores. This happens even if the Mycelium is covered with snow. Also, mushrooms grow faster on mycelium than on other blocks, but seedlings and flowers cannot be planted on them, and the mycelium cannot be plowed. This block can also “turn the earth into itself,” but the lighting level must be at least 9. The reverse process will occur if you place an opaque block on top.

Nothing can be made from gravel as such, you can only extract flint from it, but from it you can make:

  • Flint;
  • Arrows;
  • Rough ground (for version 1.8 and higher).

Gravel is a ubiquitous block that can be found even in the nether world. It has all the properties of sand. Gravel also falls if there are no blocks under it, and is easily broken by hand. Although with a shovel, of course, things will move much faster.

If gravel falls on a torch, rails, sign, trolley, pressure plate or a trail of red dust - it falls out in the form of a block. If you first place any of the items listed above, and place a gravel block on top, it will not fall or fall out as a block. By the way, if gravel falls on the carpet, which was introduced in version 1.8, it also falls out as a block. Before Minecraft versions 1.8 gravel was not used to create things, and only served as a source of silicon.

Gravel, when mined, has a 10% chance of dropping silicon, and the gravel block will disappear. A small percentage of probability, isn't it? If you want to mine more silicon, it makes sense to use a shovel with the Luck III enchantment on it. In this case, silicon will fall out of each gravel block.

Silicon obtained from gravel can be used in two ways - to make arrows or flint:

For arrows, we will need, in addition to silicon, sticks and feathers:

And for flint you need an iron ingot:

How to make rough ground in Minecraft

In version 1.8, a recipe appeared in which by mixing gravel and soil in 1:1 proportions we get rough soil.

Or, more simply put, earth with pebbles. Its texture is slightly different from that of ordinary earth. Below you see 4 blocks of such land.

No grass grows on it. When you dig it up with a hoe, it turns into an ordinary block of earth and is immediately overgrown with grass. If a player or mob falls under a gravel collapse and covers his head, he begins to suffocate.

Unlike ordinary soil, its rocky variety (Coarse Dirt) cannot be found everywhere. This version of the substance has fewer uses. However, it can also be useful when passing Minecraft.

How to get Coarse Dirt in Minecraft

If ordinary soil can be mined even with bare hands, then to create a rocky version of it you will have to try. To prepare such a composition you will need the following components (2 positions of each):

    gravel (you can get it only after destroying it with a tool);

    ordinary soil (you can even get it with your bare hands).

Mix the components in the usual way - using a cooking stand. By mixing the elements listed above, you will immediately get 4 blocks of the gravel version of the mixture. Once the product is ready, it can be immediately used for its intended purpose. Build a house or plant new varieties of crops? The choice is yours!

Why do you need a mixture of soil and gravel?

Earth mass required of this type For:

    construction of a building;

    growing crops.

However, do not forget that grass does not grow on a rocky earthen plot. To plant a crop on it, you must first till the soil with a hoe. At the same time, 4 blocks of Coarse Dirt contain 2 blocks of regular mixture. Therefore, its use is especially important when surviving on an island. Plants require plenty of moisture to bloom. It is better to plant them at a time when the soil is brown from water. To speed up the growing process, make sure there is sufficient light level.

The earth is very easily destroyed by any tool, even by hand the best tool For its extraction, a shovel is considered. In any case, when mining, a block falls out.

Time of destruction

By hand (0.75)

Wooden shovel(0.4)

Stone Shovel(0.2)

Iron shovel(0.15)

Diamond Shovel(0.1)

Golden Shovel(0.1)

Natural generation

The land on the map is generated in abundance - upper layer(3-4 blocks in size) between grass or snow and stone, it consists almost entirely of earth. Moreover, accumulations of earth can be found in underground areas at all heights and at the bottom of deep reservoirs.

Usage

Earth is one of the types of blocks on which plants can be planted.

You can make a bed on the ground using a hoe. After plowing the ground with a hoe, the top texture of a block of earth becomes “ribbed”, and after placing a water source nearby it becomes dark. Brown color and becomes suitable for planting seeds. It is suitable for planting seeds even before this, but dry beds are trampled faster and can themselves turn back into soil after a while if nothing grows in the bed.

The ground is covered with grass if it is not a rocky variation, it is adjacent to another block of land covered with grass, and it is exposed to light of level 4 or higher (this process is described in more detail in the article on grass). Also, the ground can turn into mycelium if this block is next to a block of earth, even under or above it.

Rocky soil can be used to obtain regular soil using a hoe. Thus, from gravel and two blocks of earth, you can create many blocks of earth - this helps, for example, in surviving on an island.

The land has only one craft and that is

Earth+gravel will be rocky ground

advantages of the earth

1) there is a lot of it

2) does not light up

3) does not fall

4) stacks into 64 blocks

Description and features

The earth block in Minecraft is the most common, since earth blocks can be found almost everywhere and at all heights - near the surface and deep in the depths.

Its extraction occurs very dynamically - even if nothing is used, i.e. with bare hands. Therefore, it is very suitable for the construction of temporary housing at the very beginning, however, in such a house you should be careful, because if a creeper notices you and not only notices you, but also explodes nearby, then there will be no wall of the house, since the ground has a very low indicator explosion resistance, and a stream of zombies will immediately pour into such a “break” and dealing with them will be more than problematic at the very beginning of the game.

As an option - make blank walls - without window openings or insert glass, then you will not be noticed and hostile mobs will not try to kill you.

Can be covered with grass, after which a block of land in minecraft turns into a block of grass. The ground is covered with grass provided that there is a block of grass nearby, as well as a lighting intensity of at least 4.

Suitable for arranging various flower beds and areas with a lawn, so if you intend to create a “green corner”, then the earth is simply an irreplaceable material, and given the fact that it is widespread, there should not be any problems with shortages.

The construction of beds for planting various seeds is also done on blocks of earth using a hoe - to do this, select the hoe itself and click on the block of earth with the right mouse button.

If there is a source of water nearby, the bed becomes dark brown in color - this is the most advantageous position for planting seeds, although without the presence of a close area of ​​water, you can plant seeds, however, they will develop at a slower speed, and it is also much easier to trample such a bed (if you jump in the garden bed, it will disappear, turning back into an ordinary block of earth, and the seeds will fall out).

If there is mycelium next to a block of earth (in close proximity), then soon the block of earth will also become mycelium.

Nothing can be made from gravel as such, you can only extract flint from it, but from it you can make:

  • Flint;
  • Arrows;
  • Rough ground (for version 1.8 and higher).

Gravel is a ubiquitous block that can be found even in the nether world. It has all the properties of sand. Gravel also falls if there are no blocks under it, and is easily broken by hand. Although with a shovel, of course, things will move much faster.
