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?
