==Natural Generation== <!--T:6-->

Seventeen soil type variants may exist in the world, and are created during world generation. The appearance of each block indicates the nutrient levels (soil type) and the grass coverage (grass variant) indicates the climate conditions in the area.

===Soil Types=== <!--T:7-->

===Grass Variants=== <!--T:13-->

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.

== Harvesting == <!--T:14-->

Soil blocks may be removed by {{Breaking|breaking}} with bare hands or using any tool, though a {{ll|shovel|shovel}} is a faster method to harvest soil blocks.

== Usage == <!--T:15-->

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.

===Farming=== <!--T:18-->

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

== Storage == <!--T:16-->

Soil blocks may be placed in the world or stored in {{ll|containers|containers}}.
