DIRT BLOCK

Dirt is very common on normally generated maps, making up the majority of the top layers of blocks, between grass or snow and stone. The only functionality offered by this block is as a necessity for growing certain plants, and as a cheap material for when a minecrafter wishes to block off branches of a cavern, build walls or scaffolds, or any similar task that requires a medium to large number of blocks that are not affected by gravity. Dirt has the same texture on all six sides.
