Soul soil is a block found abundantly in soul sand valleys. It does not slow down entities, but still activates Soul Speed. It can also be used to create soul fire, and generate basalt when paired with blue ice and lava.

  1. ↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Mining efficiency.

Soul soil drops itself when it's destroyed.

Natural generation

Soul soil generates naturally in the soul sand valley biome.

Soul campfire

Soul campfires drop soul soil when broken without Silk Touch. Because soul campfires can be crafted with soul sand, which is a renewable resource, soul soil is thus renewable as well.[1]

Usage

Unlike soul sand, soul soil does not slow mobs down, does not create bubble columns in water, and is a full block in vertical size (meaning mobs, players, or items do not sink inside of it).

Soul Speed

While wearing boots with the Soul Speed enchantment, players walk more quickly on soul soil.

Fire

Fire lit on soul soil becomes soul fire.

Withers

The wither build configuration (with soul soil).

4 blocks of soul soil (or soul sand) are used in the construction of a wither. (See Wither § Spawning)

Basalt

Lava on top of soul soil and directly adjacent to blue ice turns into basalt. (See Tutorial:Basalt farming)

A simple basalt generator.
