About

Gravel is a gravity-affected block that drops when its supporting block is removed. It breaks easily (hardness 0.6) and stacks up to 64 per inventory slot, making it practical for large-scale building and terrain work.

Admins use gravel for riverbeds, paths, decorative layers, and temporary construction scaffolding. It occasionally drops flint instead of gravel when mined without Silk Touch, which can be useful for tool-making farms but unpredictable for precise building. Spawn it directly into a player's inventory with /give @p minecraft:gravel 1 or adjust the quantity as needed.
