A Dirt Path is a block that was added in Java Edition 1.9 and Pocket Edition alpha 0.11.0, which generates as roads in villages instead of gravel. For a player to make this, they have to right-click with any type of shovel on a dirt, grass, mycelium or podzol block, turning it a tannish colour and one 16x16x1 layer lower.

If a player destroys it with any tool, it will drop as a dirt block. However, in Bedrock Edition, using the Silk Touch enchantment, it will drop as is (Dirt Path).

In the Java and Legacy Console Edition and Bedrock edition, Dirt Path Blocks can be found in the player's inventory in Creative Mode.

Uses[]

It can be used as a road, as seen in villages. They also prevent hostile mobs from spawning. The only difference is that it is 1516th of a block high.
