Overview
Podzol is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through mining and natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Podzol.
Podzol is a 0.5-hardness block. A creeper does to Podzol what a tool does, because both work against 0.5. The game files it under a shovel, without a minimum tier attached to Podzol.
How to Obtain
- Mining
- Natural generation
Notes
Only drops itself when mined with a Silk Touch tool; otherwise it drops dirt. Generates in old growth taiga and bamboo jungle biomes, and forms under large spruce trees grown on podzol.
