Description:
Gravel is a type of block typically found in naturally occurring pits, underwater, on beaches (more commonly in older versions of the game), NPC Villages as pathways, or in The Nether. In the Overworld, it is generated at a rate of approximately 3.29% that of stone between layers 1 and 111. In the Nether, gravel will mostly be found naturally at layer 63, 64 and 65.
As a FallingSand entity, gravel is affected by gravity and will fall to the nearest solid block below it. Players and mobs will suffocate under gravel. If the space beneath falling gravel is occupied by a partial block, such as a Torch, the gravel will drop as an item.
Gravel blocks are the only source of flint, which has 10% chance of dropping when gravel is mined. Flint is used to create Flint and Steel and Arrows. Gravel blocks that don't drop flint can be picked up, placed, and destroyed again. However, if a gravel block drops flint, it does not additionally drop a gravel block, preventing the creation of an infinite amount of flint. Flint can be obtained from gravel with any tool. Flint can also be obtained by using TNT on gravel. Use of the Fortune enchantment will improve the chances of flint.
