Dirt Path

Grass paths are a decorative block in Pocket and computer editions.

Obtaining
In the Computer Edition, grass paths can only be gathered in the inventory using commands or. When mined, even with a Silk Touch tool, they drop dirt. In the Pocket Edition, grass paths may be mined with Silk Touch tools and drop itself due to lack of pick block control.

From grass
Grass paths can be created by any type of shovel on the side or top of a grass block that has air above it. The shovel will lose 1 durability.

Natural generation
In the Pocket Edition, grass paths are naturally generated in villages, where they are used - instead of gravel or sand as in Computer Edition - as pathways.

Usage
Grass paths are primarily used for decoration. They are a similar color to grass blocks placed in a desert or savanna biome, however a notable difference is they are only $15/16^{th}$ of a block high.

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