Yes, you can get rooted dirt in Survival mode in Minecraft.
Obtaining Rooted Dirt in Survival
Adding rooted dirt to your inventory while playing in Survival mode is straightforward once you know where to look. The primary method involves interacting with specific generated structures in the game world.
According to the reference, you can add rooted dirt to your inventory in Survival mode by finding an azalea tree and digging the dirt under it.
Here's a simple breakdown of how to do it:
- Find an Azalea Tree: These unique trees typically generate above Lush Caves biomes. You might find them on the surface in various biomes. They are recognizable by their pink flowering leaves (or regular azalea leaves) and sometimes generate with a single Azalea Bush block instead of a full tree.
- Locate the Dirt Below: Once you've found an azalea tree or bush, look at the blocks directly beneath it. The dirt blocks immediately under the tree or bush are often rooted dirt.
- Dig the Rooted Dirt: Use a shovel (or even your hand, though slower) to break the rooted dirt blocks. They will drop as items that you can pick up and add to your inventory.
Why Get Rooted Dirt?
Rooted dirt is more than just another block. It has unique properties:
- Spreading Roots: Hanging roots can grow downwards from the bottom of rooted dirt blocks if there is air or a non-solid block below.
- Farming: Tilling rooted dirt with a hoe turns it into a regular dirt block, and it drops a hanging roots item. This is a renewable way to obtain hanging roots.
- Decoration: Its unique texture and the ability to grow hanging roots make it a useful block for building and decoration, especially when creating natural or underground themes.
