I've done my share of terraforming, so theres plenty of dirt laying around my house. I made a couple dirt creeper statues, but that got old. My farms are as big as I need, so I don't need that extended. What do you do with your huge piles of dirt?
I use it for flattening out landscapes and scaffolding. It does a good job at filling in caves as well.

If, by some freak chance the usual nonsense I generate seems to help you, there's a nice shiny green + button to tell me that I'm doing the right thing
i like to sit down with my dirt and discussed our future together, after many tears (mostly my own) we decided to get married.... then i threw it at a lava lake....... good times, goooood times.
I use it to fill in spaces that aren't water (sand and gravel work better for that), and to grow grass and attract animals and grow wheat, obviously. Sometimes used as a building material in new worlds, but it isn't ideal, as it has very low blast tolerance.
Dirt is my 'default' block. Whenever I need a block that's not specifically another block, dirt is the answer.
Need to clear out some lava or water? Use dirt.
Need stairs or scaffolding? Use dirt.
Need to prototype a design or structure? Use dirt.
Need to backfill a hole or seal up a chasm? Use dirt.
Need to toss something in the water to test the flow? Use dirt.
Need a 'mold' for building with forged obsidian? (pouring water on lava) Use dirt.
Dirt is magic for being the least and most useful block in the game....at the same time. While I never specifically need dirt...I always make sure I carry a stack of it around with me.
I always have some in my hotbar cause it's so good for making temporary platforms since you break it with a shovel yet it defies gravity. It's also good for making animal mob traps and cheaply filling in holes underground with natural material, instead of cobble which is unnatural, or expensive smoothstone.
Then I use it to block up holes in my mineshaft and branch mines before I replace it with clean stone.
What do I do with the rest?
INCINERATOR.
When I'm done with that, I use it to terraform.
Yeah. Basically, use it to fill in holes, make things that need dirt, and to make temporary structures
how do i make a insinerator? is it just a furnace?
This. Lava incinerators work very well. :smile.gif:
I want you to scrape me from the waaaaaallls...
Possibly the best grunge album. Probably, actually.
