What is Rooted Dirt in Minecraft?

The Minecraft 1.17 Updating caves and cliffs has added a wide range new blocks in the game, one of them is ingrained dirt.

Previous versions of Minecraft already contained various forms of dirt before the latest update, but rooted dirt has been added to the list. However, this block functions quite differently from other established dirt blocks.

In the image in the middle row of the image above, the rooted impurity has a similar visual texture to both impurity blocks and granite blocks.

The following is a basic guide to rooted Minecraft block impurities.

Rooted dirt in Minecraft

What is different?

As mentioned, Minecraft contains various forms of dirt blocks such as grass block or coarse dirt. Rooted impurities should be considered separate from these blocks because they exist for different purposes. However, rooted dirt is similar to coarse dirt in that grass and other unmarked plants cannot grow on it.

Rooted dirt has a counterpart in the game, azalea wood. Rooted blocks of dirt act as the real roots of these new trees, hence the name. Where there is an azalea tree, there is rooted dirt underneath.

Where is?

Rooted dirt blocks and accompanying azalea trees naturally occur in areas above lush cave biomes. The roots of the trees, which consist of both rooted dirt and hanging roots, can extend all the way down into lush caves.

Unfortunately, the lush caves have yet to be introduced in the Minecraft Java Edition. However, they are available in the Bedrock Edition. Lush caves are classified as their own biomes and generated randomly.

Other ways to get it?

Although ingrained dirt is created just under the azalea tree, Minecraft players can still get a block without locating the area where it spawns naturally.

Players can get ingrained blocks of dirt from a special peasant-type mob, a wandering merchant. Price two rooted blocks of dirt in one emerald. However, it is not always guaranteed that a wandering dealer will have it in stock.
