Gravel is a gravity-affected block found in the Overworld and the Nether. It is a source of flint, which has a chance to drop when gravel is broken.

When destroyed using a tool without Silk Touch, gravel has a 10% chance to drop flint if this tool isn't enchanted with Fortune; It has a 14.2857……% (¹⁄₇) to drop flint if the tool is enchanted with Fortune I, 25% for Fortune II, and 100% for Fortune III. If the flint is not dropped, gravel drops itself instead. ^[1]^[2]
Gravel drops itself when destroyed using a tool with Silk Touch.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Gravel is generated in disks replacing dirt in shallow water, which is possible in any grassy biome except swamps, but most commonly in rivers, flatland biomes, and undeep oceans. One layer of gravel generates in deeper water bodies in almost any biome, most commonly in oceans (regular, cold, and frozen‌^{[JE only]}). In windswept gravelly hills, layers of gravel cover most of the surface, and they generate in the form of strips in stony shores.

Gravel can generate in the Overworld in the form of ore features. Gravel attempts to generate 14 times per chunk in ore features of size 0-160, at all levels and in all biomes. It can replace stone, granite, andesite, diorite, polished granite‌^{[BE only]}, polished andesite‌^{[BE only]}, polished diorite‌^{[BE only]}, tuff‌^{[JE only]}, and deepslate‌^{[JE only]}.

Gravel can also generate as part of cold ocean ruins, some warm ocean ruins, trail ruins, and in villages.

In the Nether, gravel generates naturally in layers along the shores of the lava sea, in all biomes except crimson and warped forests. The layers are one block deep in Nether wastes, and 3-5 blocks deep in soul sand valley and basalt deltas.

Ore features of gravel in the Nether attempt to replace netherrack 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-160, from levels 5 to 41‌^{[JE only]} or 36‌^{[BE only]}, in all Nether biomes except basalt deltas.

Mob loot

[edit | edit source]

An enderman holding gravel always drops the block upon death.

Bartering

[edit | edit source]

Piglins may barter 8-16 gravel with a chance of ~8.53% (⁴⁰⁄₄₆₉) when given a gold ingot.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Main article: Falling Block

If the supporting block below a block of gravel is removed, it falls until it lands on the next available block. More specifically, the gravel block turns into a "falling block" entity, which is affected by gravity; when the falling block lands on a block with a solid top surface, it becomes a block again. More information about the falling block entity is available in the main article listed above.

When gravel falls on a player or mob, it can result in suffocation inside gravel until the destruction of the block, or moving out of it, or dying. If falling gravel lands in a space occupied by a non-solid block (such as torches, rails, or redstone dust) or non-full block (such as slabs or soul sand^[3]), it breaks, then drops itself and never drops flint.^[4]^[5]

Gravel can be placed on a non-solid block without falling.

Bamboo

[edit | edit source]

Bamboo can be placed and grown on gravel.

  - Tags common to all block entities see Template:Nbt inherit/blockentity/template
- [Byte] CancelDrop: 1 or 0 (true/false) - true if the block should be destroyed instead of placed after landing on a solid block. When true, the block is not dropped as an item, even if the DropItem tag is set to true. However, if the entity is deleted due to its Time value being too high, this tag is ignored and an item is dropped depending on the DropItem tag. CancelDrop defaults to 1 for falling suspicious sand and suspicious gravel, and 0 for the other vanilla falling blocks and any summoned falling block.
- [Byte] DropItem: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should drop as an item when it breaks. Any block that does not have an item form with the same ID as the block does not drop even if this is set.
- [Float] FallHurtAmount: Multiplied by the FallDistance to calculate the amount of damage to inflict. By default this value is 2HP👁 ❤️

- [Byte] HurtEntities: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should hurt entities it falls on. Defaults to 1 for anvils and pointed dripstone and to 0 for the other vanilla falling blocks and any summoned falling block.
- [Int] Time: The number of ticks the entity has existed. When Time goes above 600, or above 100 while the block is at Y=-64 or is outside building height, the entity is deleted.

Java Edition

[edit | edit source]

Java Edition Classic
0.0.14a		👁 Image Added gravel.
		Gravel behaves similarly to sand, which was also added during this update.
		Rather than falling by turning into a falling block entity, gravel instantly appears at the lowest point it can go when placed above an air block, without any sort of falling animation. This behavior that lasted until the Seecret Friday 1 update, in Infdev.
		Map editors can now be used to create floating gravel, although the server crashes if the gravel is affected from its state.
0.0.15a (Multiplayer Test 1)		👁 Image The texture of gravel has been changed.
0.0.19a		👁 Image Gravel can now be selected on the hotbar, rather than strictly requiring a number key as placeable blocks did previously.
0.0.23a		A glitch occurring at this time allows players to raise the height of a fluid block by placing gravel over it. The gravel stays suspended in mid-air until it is broken. When broken, a fluid block corresponding to the type below the gravel appears where the block was. The suspended fluid block remains immobile until a block was placed next to it, causing a flood.

Issues

[edit | edit source]

Issues relating to "Gravel" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

[edit | edit source]

Explosions launch falling gravel.
If a player stands on a stack of sand or gravel and the stack falls onto a non-solid block, the player can fall fast enough to take damage or even die.
Gravel often falls into caves, making a mock dead end. If a player encounters a gravel dead-end while mining, removing the gravel may reveal additional passageways.
