**Gravel** is a block that is affected by gravity.

## Obtaining

### Natural generation

Gravel is generated in disks on beaches, near rivers and small pools of water; in windswept gravelly hills biomes covering most of the surface; underwater covering the bottom of normal, cold, and frozen ocean biomes, as well as their deep variants; and in form of stripes in Stony Shores.

Gravel can generate in the Overworld in the form of blobs. Gravel attempts to generate 8 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-160, at all levels and in all biomes. It can replace stone, granite, andesite, diorite, tuff, and deepslate.

Gravel can also generate as part of cold ocean ruins.

In the Nether, gravel generates naturally in multiple-block-deep layers, along the shores of the lava ocean. It often generates without blocks below it, in which case it falls when updated.

Blobs of gravel attempt to replace netherrack 2 times per chunk in blobs of size 0-160, from levels 5 to 41, in all Nether biomes except basalt deltas.

### Breaking

Gravel can be broken using any tool, but a shovel is the quickest. When broken, it has a 10% chance of dropping flint instead of the gravel itself. The flint received can be controlled with enchantments. Silk Touch removes the chance of dropping flint. Fortune increases the chance to 14% at the level I, 25% at level II, and 100%[*needs testing*] at level III.

1. ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

If gravel falls onto a non-full block, it drops as an item and does not drop flint.

### Bartering

Piglins may barter 8-16 gravel when given a gold ingot.

## Usage

Main article: Falling Block

If the supporting block below a block of gravel is removed, it falls until it lands on the next available block. More specifically, the gravel block turns into a "falling block" entity, which is affected by gravity; when the falling block lands on a block with a solid top surface, it becomes a block again. More information about the falling block entity are available in the main article listed above.

When gravel falls on a player or mob, it can engulf the head, resulting in suffocation inside gravel until destroying the block, moving out of it, or dying. If falling gravel lands in a space occupied by a non-solid block (such as torches, slabs, rails, or redstone dust) or soul sand, it breaks and turns into a gravel item. Gravel falls slowly through a cobweb until it passes completely through, or until it touches any block, at which point it drops and becomes a gravel item.

Gravel can be placed on a non-solid block without falling.

Bamboo can be placed and grown on gravel.

### Falling block entity

Falling Block
File:Gravel.png

Main article: Falling Block

* Dynamic block entity data
	+ Tags common to all entities
	+ BlockState: The falling block represented by this entity.
		- Name: The resource location of the block.
		- Properties: Optional. The block states of the block.
			* *Name*: The block state name and its value.
	+ DropItem: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should drop as an item when it breaks. Any block that does not have an item form *with the same ID as the block* does not drop even if this is set.
	+ FallHurtAmount: Multiplied by the `FallDistance` to calculate the amount of damage to inflict. By default this value is always 2.
	+ FallHurtMax: The maximum hit points of damage to inflict on entities that intersect this falling block . For vanilla falling blocks, always 40File:Heart (icon).png × 20.
	+ HurtEntities: 1 or 0 (true/false) – true if the block should hurt entities it falls on.
	+ TileEntityData: Optional. The tags of the block entity for this block.
	+ Time: The number of ticks the entity has existed. If set to 0, the moment it ticks to 1, it vanishes if the block at its location has a different ID than the entity's `BlockState.Name`. If the block at its location has the same ID as its `BlockState.Name` when `Time` ticks from 0 to 1, the *block* is deleted, and the entity continues to fall, having overwritten it. When `Time` goes above 600, or above 100 while the block is below Y=1 or is outside building height, the entity is deleted.

## Trivia

* Explosions launch falling gravel.
* If a player stands on a stack of sand or gravel, and the stack falls onto a non-solid block, the player falls fast enough to take damage or even die.
* Gravel often falls into caves, making a mock dead end. If a player encounters a gravel dead-end while mining, removing the gravel may reveal additional passageways.
