How to Grow Grass on Dirt in Minecraft? 

Growing grass isn't a tough task for Minecraft players. But, growing grass on a dirt block makes many players confused and face tremendous challenges. Growing grass on a dirt block requires dedication and will consume loads of time if done wrongly. 

However, the straightforward way to grow grasses on the dirt blocks of Minecraft is to increase the light level on that spot. The more you increase the light level, the faster grasses will form. Usually, grasses will be produced on the top level of the dirt block. 

If you notice no grass growth in the Minecraft dirt, it may be due to the reduced light level. The light level must be above 4, and the dirt must not be covered by a block, reducing the light level by 2. 

Other Ways to Grow Grass

Besides growing the grass on dirt, you can refer to a few other methods of growing grass in Minecraft. 

• Finding Grasses

You can grow grass by searching in existing places, like the forest biomes and plains. To collect the grass blocks, you need a sheer. Right-click on these blocks and collect them while on the other hand. Finally, you can place them anywhere you want and let it grow on its own. 

• Using the Bone Meal

One of the easiest ways to grow grass in Minecraft is using the Bone Meal. In Minecraft, Bone Meal is prepared from the bones of the skeletons and can be used as a fertilizer for many crops. You can easily find these bone meals during nighttime if the skeleton has recently died.

Additionally, if you knock down a skeleton, it will give you Bones as a drop. Besides, there are plenty of ways in Minecraft to get the Bone Meal. 

You can use the Bone Meal as a fertilizer when you have it in your hand. Once you have it in your hand, you must right-click on the ground, growing the grass block. 

Note: You must use more Bone Meals to get the grass block instantly.

A Summary of the Minecraft Grass
