Can gravel fall on soul sand?

Yes, when falling gravel lands on soul sand in Minecraft, it breaks and turns into a gravel item instead of landing as a block because soul sand isn't a full-height block, similar to how it affects falling sand, torches, or slabs. This causes the gravel to "pop" into an item when it hits the soul sand, which can be useful for creating item drops or preventing structures from forming in lava, but it's different from placing gravel directly on soul sand, which works normally.

Does soul sand fall?

No, Soul Sand does not fall in Minecraft; it's a special block unaffected by gravity, similar to other non-full blocks like torches or signs, and it causes falling blocks (like gravel or sand) that land on it to break into items instead of stacking. This unique property makes it great for traps and also slows players down, but it won't act as a standard sand block for gravity-based contraptions.

What happens when you mix sand and gravel?

When you mix sand and gravel, the finer sand particles fill the gaps between the larger gravel, creating a denser, more stable, and often stronger composite material, crucial for construction (like concrete or stable paths) or drainage, though in aquariums, the sand tends to sink to the bottom over time, separating layers. The result depends on the application, creating a smooth, strong mix for concrete or a layered substrate for planted tanks where different zones form.

Does torching gravel give flint?

No, in current versions of Minecraft, dropping gravel onto a torch doesn't reliably give you flint; it just breaks the gravel, dropping the gravel block itself, not flint. The "torch trick" used to work in older versions, but now you need to mine gravel with a tool (especially a shovel) for a 10% chance, or use a Fortune III enchanted tool for a 100% guarantee of getting flint.

Do carpets stop mobs from spawning?

Yes, carpets do stop mobs from spawning in Minecraft because they are not a full block (only 1/16th of a block high), effectively creating a non-spawnable surface, similar to bottom slabs, preventing hostile mobs from appearing in dark areas. This makes them great for floor coverings in bases, as mobs won't spawn on them even in low light, but you need to cover the entire floor.

What blocks will mobs not walk on?

Mobs avoid walking on partial blocks like carpets (especially double layers), bottom slabs, farmland, and dirt paths, as well as certain transparent or tricky blocks like glass, ice, rails, and bamboo/end rods, often treating them as air or obstacles, though they can sometimes be pushed or tricked into crossing, especially with single layers of carpet. Honey blocks and walls are classic obstacles, but carpets and invisible scaffolding create great "invisible" barriers.

Can mobs spawn on anvils?

No, hostile mobs cannot naturally spawn on top of anvils in Minecraft because anvils are considered a transparent/non-full block surface for spawning purposes, similar to glass or carpets, though they are full blocks in shape; they don't provide the solid, opaque base needed for most mob spawns, acting as an obstacle rather than a platform for them.
