MC-204127Farmland cannot be turned into dirt paths with a shovel
Relates to MC-8231 and MC-213770.
The bug
Many more dirt-like blocks gained the ability to be made into paths in the latest snapshot, however farmland was not one of them, which may be an oversight.
One potential way to fix this could be to have all blocks that can be directly converted to farmland or dirt paths use a block tag, such that eligible blocks could simply be added to this tag.
Steps to Reproduce
- Build the setup as shown in the attachment below. setup.png
- Obtain a shovel and attempt to convert all six different blocks into dirt paths.
- Take note of the blocks that did convert into dirt paths and the blocks that didn't.
Observed Behavior
Farmland cannot be converted into dirt paths with shovels.
Expected Behavior
Farmland would be able to be converted into dirt paths with shovels.

Farmland cannot be turned into path blocks with a shovel
Many more dirt-like blocks gained the ability to be made into paths in the latest snapshot, however farmland was not one of them ,which may be an oversight.
It may be advisable to have the blocks which can be turned into paths be defined via a block tag.

Also worth noting that path blocks in return can be turned into farmland with a hoe.

Can you remove 1.16.5 as affected? Even if it was released in snapshot process of 1.17, it's does not have caves and cliffs development.
RobinDinVienna, 1.16.6 does not exist.

Can confirm, however dirt path ("grass path" was renamed to "dirt path" in 20w45a) can be turned into farmland.
jump on it. once.
Well, farmland and path blocks are on the same level preety much. So it would not make sense to be able to change between them. For the farm to path: Jump on it so it becomes dirt, for the path to farm: Break, replace the block and then shovel it. This is not a bug.
If it's not a bug then explain why it has an assignee and priority.
@Connor Steppie So that it still gets looked into, and a decision can be taken? Not every assigned ticket ends up being a bug. The resolution afterwards could very well be "WAI". Or the "request" for this to be a feature gets honored. But in itself, this is not a bug. Just a slight annoyance, but rationally it currently makes sence, any change may increase playability, but decrease logic...

As this is not a "1.17" Bugtracker, but the general Minecraft Java Bug-Tracker, all affected versions from the time of finding the bug at least should be marked. 1.16.5 is the CURRENT RELEASE version. So of course, if the 'bug' exists in it, it MUST be listed.--
And such bugs could also be fixed in a 1.16.6. Who knows, so it would not make sense removing any release version.As the commenter I was replying to noticed the nonsense they were writing and deleted theirs, I shall leave this here crossed out for reference...
Can confirm in 1.17.

Can confirm this behavior in 21w40a. Here are some extra details regarding this problem.
The Bug:
Farmland cannot be converted into dirt paths with shovels.
Steps to Reproduce:
Observed Behavior:
Farmland cannot be converted into dirt paths with shovels.
Expected Behavior:
Farmland would be able to be converted into dirt paths with shovels.
Can confirm in 1.18.
I can confirm this behavior in 1.18.1.
Here's a code analysis along with a potential fix regarding this issue. The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.18.1 using MCP-Reborn.
Code Analysis:
If we look at the above class, we can see that only grass blocks, dirt, podzol, coarse dirt, mycelium, and rooted dirt can be converted into dirt paths using shovels. Farmland isn't included within this particular piece of code, resulting in this problem occurring.
Potential Fix:
Simply adding .put(Blocks.FARMLAND, Blocks.DIRT_PATH.defaultBlockState()) where appropriate within this piece of code should resolve this problem and allow you to convert farmland into dirt paths using shovels. The correct line of code within its class should look something like the following:
Can confirm in 1.18.2.
Can confirm in 1.19.
Can confirm in 1.19.2.
Can confirm for 1.21.3
