Gathering Bulk Supplies for Dirt Construction

Building houses and full structures out of dirt and grassy materials requires a steady supply of soil and seeds. Preparing your materials beforehand ensures you have plenty of resources for construction.

Harvesting Dirt Efficiently

Dirt is widely available across the Overworld, but collecting large quantities requires a bit of preparation:

• Craft iron or diamond shovels to clear soil rapidly from hillsides, riverbanks, and plains.
• Dig in flat areas or level off gentle terrain near your build site to clear room for your home while stockpiling building blocks at the same time.
• Store full stacks of dirt in nearby chests so you can access them easily during construction.

Stockpiling Wheat Seeds

Because living grass blocks require seeds to craft, you will need a reliable stock of wheat seeds alongside your dirt:

• Wander through grassy biomes and break short or tall grass tufts with your hand or a tool to collect dropping seeds.
• If you have an established wheat farm, harvest mature wheat crops, which drop both wheat and extra wheat seeds.
• Keep your seeds organized so you can quickly craft grass accents whenever your dirt build requires greenery.
