Trivia

Dirt is one of the four basic blocks with a rarity of 1 that can be found in normal worlds, along with Rock, Cave Background, and Lava.
In December, the green layer of Dirt turns white, as if snow has covered the grass. This in only a visual effect; the item still has the same properties as usual. The sprite is reverted back once December is over.
Sand, Martian Soil, Deep Sand, Monochromatic Dirt, and Digital Dirt have sprites which are based on the Dirt's Sprite.
Breaking Dirt and harvesting Dirt Trees have a small chance to drop a Wiggly Worm.
Dirt can only be found in newly created worlds, Bountiful Blasted Worlds, or from Harvest Moon-blasted worlds. Other blasted worlds don't spawn any when they are created.
A Digger's Spade will allow the player to break Dirt and Cave Background in one hit.
The sprite of the Water Bucket is a blue recolor of the Dirt, except without the top part.
In December 2012, a unique gray dirt sprite was used instead of the usual white one. It was replaced with the current one in 2013.
