Farmland is the tilled dirt block in Minecraft, created by right-clicking dirt, grass, coarse dirt, dirt path, rooted dirt, podzol, or mycelium with any hoe. Farmland is the only block where wheat seeds, carrots, potatoes, beetroot seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, and torchflower seeds will grow. Farmland has nine hydration stages — the texture darkens as Farmland absorbs water from any source within 4 blocks horizontally and 1 block above, and rain hydrates Farmland under open sky. Farmland is exactly 15/16 of a full block tall, so entities visibly sink one pixel when standing on Farmland. Dry Farmland slowly reverts to dirt when no crop is planted, and any mob or player landing on Farmland from above 0.5 blocks has a 1/3 chance per landing to trample Farmland back into dirt — the crop on top survives the trample but drops as an item. Farmland exists in both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition since Minecraft Alpha and cannot be moved by pistons (Farmland drops as dirt if pushed). Place water within 4 blocks before tilling so Farmland stays moist, fence the plot to block jumping mobs, and use bone meal on the planted crop — not on Farmland itself — to accelerate growth.
