in caverns dirt is a sign of iron ore, and gravel is a sign of coal. this can be prooved by digging dirt that is inside caves. –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Coolguy3867 (Talk|Contribs) 00:29, 22 January 2011. Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
- That's purely random, Dirt and Gravel are no bullet proof indicators for minerals. I dug out pockets of Gravel and found Iron, dug out Dirt and found Coal, or nothing, or Diamond. It's completely random. --Flippeh 23:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Sunlight for grass
"When a Dirt block is adjacent to a Grass-covered block and is exposed to sunlight, it will eventually be converted into a Grass block" I know this is incorrect as I have used torches to walk grass down into caves before. I'll run a test later to check what level the light needs to be then change it.
- No need, the details are in the Light article. That said, the statement wasn't false, it was just misleading. Sunlight will do it, but so will torchlight, lava, glowstone, etc. --Theothersteve7 14:29, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Updating the Dirt page
I think we need a picture of a dirt block, converted into farmland. Isn't there any trivia about the dirt block? Like it's the icon of Minecraft on the desktop and stuff?
