Dirt is an abundant block that can be found in most biomes in the Overworld under grass blocks.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Dirt is one of the most abundant blocks in the Overworld, found underneath layers of grass blocks in the majority of biomes. Dirt appears in deposits underground that replaces stone, basalt, granite and limestone.

Post-generation

Dehydrated farmland can turn into dirt if mobs or the player without sneaking or wearing leather boots step onto farmland or if a block is placed above it or is not within range of water.

Dirt paths immediately turn into dirt when a block is placed above it, while grass blocks turn into dirt after some time when a block is placed above it.
