Previous Versions
Before version 1.3.1, the Mineral Crystal was used to turn dirt directly into Mineral Soil by right-clicking the dirt with a Mineral Crystal or by crafting the Mineral Soil with a Mineral Crystal.

The Mineral Crystal was also not returned when the Mineral Soil block was broken. Instead, the Mineral Soil block itself would be dropped.
