Soul soil is a block found abundantly in soul sand valleys. It does not slow down entities, but still activates Soul Speed. It can also be used to create soul fire, and generate basalt when paired with blue ice and lava.
The suitable tool to break soul soil is shovel.
Soul soil drops itself when it's destroyed.
Soul soil generates naturally in the soul sand valley biome.
Soul campfires drop soul soil when broken without Silk Touch. Because soul campfires can be crafted with soul sand, which is a renewable resource, soul soil is thus renewable as well.[1]
Unlike soul sand, soul soil does not slow mobs down, does not create bubble columns in water, and is a full block in vertical size (meaning mobs, players, or items do not sink inside of it).
While wearing boots with the Soul Speed enchantment, players walk more quickly on soul soil.
Fire lit on soul soil becomes soul fire.
4 blocks of soul soil (or soul sand) are used in the construction of a wither. (See Wither ยง Spawning)
Lava on top of soul soil and directly adjacent to blue ice turns into basalt. (See Tutorial:Basalt farming)
