Gravel Wiki Guide

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft gravel with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, gravel is an item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

Gravel - Wiki Guide 1

Let’s explore how to add gravel to your inventory.

Where to find Gravel in Creative Mode

Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac)

Here is where you can find gravel in the Creative Inventory menu:

Platform Version(s) Creative Menu Location
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.8 – 1.19
Java Edition (PC/Mac) 1.19.3
  • Platform is the platform that applies.
  • Version(s) is the Minecraft version numbers where the item can be found in the menu location listed (we have tested and confirmed this version number).
  • Creative Menu Location is the location of the item in the Creative Inventory menu.

How to get Gravel in Survival Mode

You can add gravel to your inventory in Survival mode by finding a block of gravel to dig up. So, let’s get started!

1. Find a Block of Gravel

First, you need to find a block of gravel to dig up. You can find gravel anywhere, but we are going to look for gravel by digging into the side of a mountain.

This is what a block of gravel looks like:

2. Hold a Tool

You can dig up gravel with anything including your hand, but it is faster to use a tool such as a shovel:

Gravel - Wiki Guide 8 How to make a Golden Shovel
Gravel - Wiki Guide 9 How to make a Iron Shovel
Gravel - Wiki Guide 10 How to make a Stone Shovel
Gravel - Wiki Guide 11 How to make a Wooden Shovel
Gravel - Wiki Guide 12 How to make a Netherite Shovel

In this example, we are going to use a diamond shovel to dig up the gravel because it has higher durability than the other shovels.

3. Mine the Gravel

The game control to mine the gravel depends on the version of Minecraft:

  • For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the block of gravel.
  • For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the block of gravel.
  • For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.
  • For PS3 and PS4, press and hold the R2 button on the PS controller.
  • For Wii U, press and hold the ZR button on the gamepad.
  • For Nintendo Switch, press and hold the ZR button on the controller.
  • For Windows 10 Edition, left click and hold on the block of gravel.
  • For Education Edition, left click and hold on the block of gravel.

You will need to continue to dig until the block breaks and a smaller block of gravel finally appears. The block of gravel will float on the ground.

4. Pick up the Gravel

Make sure you pick up the gravel before it disappears.

Once you pick up the gravel, it will appear in your hotbar.

Gravel is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
