[[File:Soil.png|thumbnail]]

Different types of soil are found in different places in the world and vary based on the climate. Five different types of soil exist in the world at different fertility rates: bony, barren, low, medium, and very high (called "Terra preta"). Each type has the following starting levels of nutrients, respectively: 0%, 5%, 25%, 50%, 80%. The forest floor is a special kind of soil appearing only in forest. When broken, the forest floor turns into low fertility soil. Soil retains its fertility levels when removed and placed elsewhere, as long as it hasn't yet been converted with a hoe into farmland. Players can find deposits of Terra Preta in mild and hot areas with enough rainfall, mostly on plains and low hills.

Specifically, Terra Preta requires:

* rainfall: 0.5 - 0.9

* maximum Y level: 0.53, and Terra Preta seems to follow the the soil surface at a depth of 1

Barren soil is found in some above-ground ruins, but is a rare occurrence.  

===High Fertility Soil===

Hight fertility soil is created in the crafting grid using the following materials:

|A2=Compost|A2-link=Special:MyLanguage/Compost|A2_name=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Compost</span>

|B2=Soil-medium-none|B2-link=Special:MyLanguage/Soil|B2_name=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Medium fertility soil</span>

|C2=Compost|C2-link=Special:MyLanguage/Compost|C2_name=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Compost</span>

|A3=Compost|A3-link=Special:MyLanguage/Compost|A3_name=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Compost</span>

High Fertility Soil has a nutrient level of 65%.

Compost is made via {{ll|barrel|Barrel Crafting}} mechanics, requiring 64 {{ll|Rot|Rot}} and 20 days for 16 compost (enough for 2 High Fertility Soil).

===Grass Variants===

Each type of soil block (with the exceptions of bony and barren soil) has three grass coverage variants and may appear as "bare soil" with a brown top (no grass), or a green top surface, aka "grass block". Depending on climatic conditions, grass coverage appears as a continuum from sparse (patchy brown and green), patchy (mostly green), or grassy (solid green). Grass spreads from grassy blocks onto bare soil blocks as the climate allows, while grass blocks lacking sunlight lose the grass and may revert to bare soil blocks.

Also, tall {{ll|grass|grassgrass can grow/spawn on "grass" blocks.

Soil blocks are used in crafting both {{ll|Soil Blocks#mudbrick|light and dark mudbrick}} blocks, as well as {{ll|Soil_Blocks#Cob|cob}} building blocks and {{ll|Soil_Blocks#Packed_Dirt|packed dirt}}, which does not grow grass.

Soil blocks can be converted to farmland using a {{ll|hoe|hoe}}. For more information, see the {{ll|Farming|farming guide}}.
