Dirt Block

The Dirt Block is a type of block primarily found in the Undergrounds and rarely in other biomes. It is often the first block a new player will encounter, with the The Core being enclosed in it.

They are useful in a variety of ways, from being a crafting material to a surface for cultivating many early-game crops.

Notes[]

When a player mines a Dirt Block wall inside the Undergrounds, there is a 0.27% chance of a Locked Copper Chest spawning next to it.
A character created with the name "Greggy" (case-sensitive) will spawn with 10 Dirt Blocks in their inventory.

Tips[]

Due to their abundance, Dirt Blocks are a good source for traversing gaps quickly early on, if obtaining bridges proves to be difficult.
