  • Dirt slabs were added in Survival Test, but were quickly removed.
    • Grass didn`t grow on the slabs.

"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."

Uses

Dirt is not used in any Crafting recipes whatsoever (but some mods have crafting with dirt). Some uses offered by this block are as a necessity for growing certain plants after being tilled with a Hoe, though Sugar Cane and Saplings don`t need tilling. Dirt can also be used as a cheap material for when a player wishes to block off branches of a Cavern, build walls or scaffolds, stack to get to high places, or any similar task that requires a medium to large number of blocks that are not affected by gravity and are fireproof. It is also commonly used on Survival if the player didn`t obtain wood or cobblestone, making it an important building material for the first night, and if the player does not have enough time to build, they can dig a hole and cover it with dirt to survive.
