{{About|the block|the [[Minecraft Earth]] fluid|Minecraft Earth:Mud}} {{Infobox block | image = Mud.png | invimage = Mud | renewable = Yes | stackable = Yes (64) | tool = Shovel | light = No | transparent = No | flammable = No | lavasusceptible = No }} '''Mud''' is a block found abundantly in [[mangrove swamp]]s or created by using a [[water bottle]] on any type of [[dirt]] block. It can be used for [[crafting]] or converted into [[clay]] using [[pointed dripstone]]. == Obtaining == === Breaking === Mud can be broken by hand, but using a [[shovel]] speeds up the process. {{breaking row|horizontal=1|Mud|link=none|Shovel}} === Natural generation === Mud generates in the [[mangrove swamp]] biome. Mud can also generate in [[trail ruins]]. {{block distribution}} === Mob loot === An [[enderman]] holding a mud block drops the block upon death. === Post-generation === {{control|Using}} a [[water bottle]] on [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], or [[rooted dirt]] transforms it into mud. This process can be automated using a [[dispenser]]. To turn dirt into mud, the water bottle cannot be used on the bottom face.{{bug|MC-253472||Dirt, rooted & coarse cannot be saturated (turned into mud) on the bottom face}} == Usage == {{See also|Solid block#Height}} Mud is not a full block, and as such, it has some unique properties; [[entities]] standing on mud sink slightly into it, similar to [[soul sand]]. Unlike soul sand, however, mud does not slow the movement speed of mobs or players that walk on it. Falling blocks such as [[sand]] also drop as an item when landing on it, and a [[hopper]] that is under a mud block can collect items dropped on top of it. === Crafting ingredient=== {{crafting usage}} === Clay === If mud is placed directly above a block that has [[pointed dripstone]] underneath, it eventually turns into [[clay]]. This conversion does not happen in [[the Nether]].{{bug|MC-264720||Mud does not convert to clay in Nether with dripstone|WAI}} '''Dirt''' Growing an [[azalea tree]] converts mud and muddy mangrove roots into [[Rooted Dirt|rooted dirt]], which can be [[hoe]]d into [[dirt]] and further [[water bottle]]d back into mud. == Sounds == === Generic === {{Sound table/Block/Mud}} === Unique === {{Edition|Java}} {{SoundTable | type = java | {{SoundLine |sound =Water splash1.ogg |sound2=Water splash2.ogg |subtitle=Splashing |source=block |description=When a player creates a mud block |id=entity.generic.splash |translationkey=subtitles.entity.generic.splash |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} | {{SoundLine |sound=Bottle empty1.ogg |sound2=Bottle empty2.ogg |subtitle=Bottle empties |source=block |description=When a player or dispenser creates a mud block |id=item.bottle.empty |translationkey=subtitles.item.bottle.empty |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 | distance = 16 }} }} {{Edition|Bedrock}}: {{SoundTable | type = bedrock | {{SoundLine | sound =Water Splash Old.ogg |source=player |description=When a dispenser creates a mud block{{Bug|MCPE-155358}} |id=random.splash |volume=1.0 |pitch=0.6-1.4}} | {{SoundLine |sound=Bottle empty1.ogg |sound2=Bottle empty2.ogg |source=sound |description=When a player creates a mud block |id=bottle.empty |volume=1.0 | pitch = 1.0 }} }} == Data values == === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |showblocktags=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Mud |spritetype=block |nameid=mud |blocktags=dirt, mineable/shovel, #sniffer_diggable_block |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Mud |spritetype=block |nameid=mud |id=-473 |foot=1}} == History == {{HistoryTable |{{HistoryLine||October 16, 2021|link={{ytl|w6zLprHHZOk|t=7470}}|[[File:Mud (pre-release).png|32px]] Mud was announced at [[Minecraft Live 2021]].}} |{{HistoryLine||February 21, 2022|link={{Tweet|JasperBoerstra|1495794251506061314}}|[[File:Mud JE1 BE1.png|32px]] [[JAPPA]] tweets an image of a new mud texture.}} |{{HistoryLine|java}} |{{HistoryLine||1.19|dev=22w11a|[[File:Mud JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added mud.}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=22w14a|Mud placed above a block with pointed dripstone underneath now converts the mud into clay.}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=22w15a|Now allows [[sugar cane]], [[bamboo]], and [[big dripleaves]] to be planted on top of it.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.20|dev=23w12a|Mud now generates as part of [[trail ruins]].}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=23w14a|[[Sniffer]]s can now dig in mud.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.21|dev=24w18a|Mud can now generate in the entrances of [[trial chambers]].}} |{{HistoryLine|bedrock}} |{{HistoryLine||1.19.0|dev=Preview 1.19.0.21|[[File:Mud JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added mud.}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=Preview 1.19.0.25|Mud placed above a block with pointed dripstone underneath now converts the mud into clay.}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=Preview 1.19.0.27|Now allows [[sugar cane]], [[bamboo]], and [[big dripleaves]] to be planted on top of it.}} |{{HistoryLine|||dev=Preview 1.19.0.29|Mud is now a full block, so it no longer sinks entities down into it slightly.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.19.10|dev=Preview 1.19.10.21|[[Sweet berries]] can now be planted on mud.}} |{{HistoryLine||1.19.40|dev=Preview 1.19.40.21|Mud is no longer a full block.
