Usage[]
Coarse dirt has the ability to grow saplings, sugar canes, mushrooms, bamboo, flowers, and sweet berries, which can be planted directly under appropriate conditions.
Neither mycelium nor grass can spread onto coarse dirt.
Coarse dirt can be tilled using a hoe to become normal dirt. There must be an empty space above the coarse dirt for it to be tilled.
Using any type of shovel on coarse dirt turns it into a dirt path.

1.8 | June 11, 2014 | Ryan Holtz revealed a new coarse dirt block, including its crafting recipe. "This will be a transparent switch-over in terms of world generation, as the coarse dirt block uses the same block ID and data value as the original grassless dirt block. As a result, even old worlds with the grassless dirt blocks should have them seamlessly change over to coarse dirt." | |||
