A gravtater is a joke block added in 24w14potato. It generates naturally in the Potato dimension and is essentially a potato variant of sand.

Note: No version exists with both copper tools and this block, but the breaking time can be calculated from the block's hardness.

Natural generation

Gravtater covers most of the surface of the hash biome. It also generates in blobs throughout the entire Potato dimension, similarly to how gravel generates in Overworld.

Usage

Gravtater can replace sand for most purposes.

It is affected by gravity, and if the block generates floating, it produces falling dust particles. Gravtater can be used to craft TNT and be smelted into glass (as shown below), however it cannot be used to craft sandstone or concrete powder.Cactus and bamboo can grow on gravtater, and sugar cane can also grow if the block is adjacent to water. Turtles can lay their eggs on gravtater. Sculk catalysts can replace gravtater with sculk blocks.

Unlike sand, this block supports growing potatoes, like farmland.
