Farmland is the tilled dirt block in Minecraft, created by right-clicking dirt, a grass block, or a dirt path with any hoe; coarse dirt and rooted dirt first turn back into regular dirt and need a second use, while podzol and mycelium cannot be tilled at all. Farmland is the only block where wheat seeds, carrots, potatoes, beetroot seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, torchflower seeds, and pitcher pods will grow. Farmland has eight moisture levels (0–7): water at the same level or one block above, within 4 blocks horizontally (diagonals included), saturates the soil to the maximum, and rain under open sky hydrates the ground just as well. At exactly 15/16 of a full block tall, Farmland makes entities visibly sink one pixel while standing on the field. Dry Farmland slowly reverts to dirt when no crop is planted, and any mob or player that jumps or falls onto the plot from above 0.5 blocks can trample the surface back into dirt — the trample chance equals the fall distance minus 0.5, plain walking never triggers the conversion, and in Java Edition mobs smaller than 0.512 cubic blocks (chickens, rabbits, foxes) cannot trample at all; the crop on top survives but drops as an item. Farmland has existed in Java Edition since February 2010 (Indev), and hoe tilling has been available in Bedrock Edition since Pocket Edition 0.4.0; a piston head extending over a tilled tile — or a piston pushing that tile down — converts the tile to a plain dirt block, and since Java 1.15 blocks pushed onto the plot by a piston no longer destroy it. Place water within 4 blocks before tilling so the soil stays moist, fence the plot to block jumping mobs, and use bone meal on the planted crop — not on Farmland itself — to accelerate growth.
