Grass blocks
Grass paths can be created by any type of shovel on the side or top of coarse dirt, mycelium, podzol, or a grass block that has air above it. The shovel then loses one durability.

Natural generation
Grass paths are naturally generated in villages when pathways replace grass blocks. Their purpose is aesthetics and pathfinding for villagers.

Usage
Grass paths are primarily used for decoration, although they do prevent hostile mobs from spawning. They are a similar color to grass blocks placed in a desert or savanna biome. They are only $15/16$ of a block high, therefore items that require a full block like torches and buttons cannot be placed on them. Villagers prefer to use grass paths the most when routing compared to any other block.

A grass path block converts to dirt if any block with a solid material is placed on top.
