Place and mine it again and again... Need alot of Flints for my bow.
SKELLYxp/arrow/bone farm works far far better and faster, JS.
ONtopic, I know how you feel, I hate finding any when im mining, I tend to find huge deposits of it and it just goes on and on and on, therein is why I now use the shortcut(//removednear 13 10) through SPC's, wherein it removes all gravel in a ten block radius of the player, works wonders if you aren't standing on any. I do the same with lava, so it undoubtedly is the most worthless item in the game for me. P:
One time I was so grateful for gravel. I got shot off a ledge into a deep dark ravine, and battled my way through the zombies to the part that was open to sky. I placed a torch and put gravel on top. Then I noob-towered my way up, 40 gravels to the sweet light of day.
Later, when I tamed that ravine and lit it up, I broke the first piece of gravel, and the rest came down on the torch and popped right into my inventory.
Gravel was useful to me but so hideous looking until I started playing in Sphax recently. I love the way Sphax depicts it, and my eyes can rest easy as I dump it into lava oceans, retrieve flint for arrows, expand NPC villages or my own and so on, :).
It's a cheap material so if you need something to suffocate the mobs or cover up a lava lake then Gravel is for you. How can you hate such a cute harmless block ?
It's not that bad... I know I have my uses for it.
And if you hate it because it involves working to clear it, just dig out the bottom one with a torch and place the torch as it falls. Why waste time shoveling?
It is a quite annoying block but it's pretty useful as well.
It looks nice for pathways especially in villages.
Good for suffocation traps.
Good for elevators so get into ravines and stuff.
It's not too bad during cave exploration because of the torch trick where you break it with the torch and quickly place the torch under it on the way down and all the gravel on top pops out.

I HATE GRAVEL
Actually its very useful for me, I use it to fill holes that I make while caving, or to cover up lava that's too deep

I don't quite see what you're saying.

Minecraft [Alpha] 1.7.3 had blocks that you can use to build with.
Minecraft now has blocks that you can use to build with.
Nothing has changed in my opinion." That is all.
