Natural Generation
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
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%. 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
- temperature: 5 - 37
- 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. Bony soil may be found buried below ruins, has no nutrient levels for farming purposes, and will not grow grass.
High Fertility Soil
Players can create Compost which can be crafted with Medium Fertility Soil to create High Fertility Soil, which has a nutrient level of 65%. Compost is made via Barrel Crafting mechanics, requiring 64 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 grass can grow/spawn on "grass" blocks.
Harvesting
Soil blocks may be removed by breaking with bare hands or using any tool, though a shovel is a faster method to harvest soil blocks.
Usage
Crafting
Soil blocks are used in crafting both light and dark mudbrick blocks, as well as cob building blocks and Compact Soil, which does not grow grass.
Farming
Soil blocks can be converted to farmland using a hoe. For more information, see the farming guide.
Storage
Soil blocks may be placed in the world or stored in containers.
