# Dirt Ores

Areas overgrown by the **Verdant Growth** won't only have changes on the surface; **Stone** and **Deepslate** will be slowly eroded into **Dirt**. When the root system of the **Verdant Growth** encounters ores, they too will be eroded - into **Dirt Ores**. Ores in dirt can be mined with any tool - or even by hand. This, along with the fact that dirt is softer than stone, makes mining considerably easier in overgrown areas.

Additionally, **Dirt Ores** can be harvested by right-clicking them with a **Hoe** of any type; this will pop out the resources and convert the block into dirt. Any variety of vanilla ore can be eroded into its dirt variant. Modded ores are not supported yet, but might be in future versions.
