Dirt Block

Dirt Blocks are one of the most common block types in Terraria, covering the majority of the world's surface. Dirt Blocks may be covered on any side by regular grass, Corrupt grass, Crimson grass, or Hallowed grass, which spreads from nearby grass-covered Dirt Blocks.

Dirt occurs naturally almost everywhere throughout the world. All caves above the elevation of 0ft are made of dirt. Below 0ft, in the underground layer, the caves are made of roughly 50% dirt. Small patches of dirt can be found in the cavern layer, though it is mostly made of stone.

Tips

 * Dirt Blocks are without doubt the most accessible block type to new players, making them useful for building a rudimentary shelter to take refuge during the first night.

Trivia

 * In some of his quotes, the Merchant claims to sell dirt, despite not actually selling it.
