Craftable Rooted Dirt
A data pack for Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3 that makes rooted dirt craftable. Dirt plus a vine, hanging roots or mangrove roots gives one block of rooted dirt, so azalea trees no longer have to be found to get it. It adds one recipe and nothing else; no mod loader is needed.

Download
Get craftablerooteddirt-<version>.zip from
CurseForge or the
GitHub releases and put it into the datapacks folder of a world (saves/<world>/datapacks/),
or add it under Data Packs when creating a new world. On a server it goes into world/datapacks/. Works with
Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3, vanilla or with any mod loader.
Crafting
Shapeless, anywhere in the grid:
D R D = dirt
R = vine, hanging roots or mangrove roots
gives one rooted dirt. The recipe is unlocked in the recipe book as soon as a vine, hanging roots or mangrove roots are in the inventory.
Vanilla goes the other way too: using a hoe on rooted dirt turns it into dirt and drops hanging roots.
