What materials can Mold Earth affect?

The Mold Earth cantrip has the following description:




Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour (see below)



You choose a portion of dirt or stone that you can see within range
and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the
following ways:




  • If you target an area of loose earth, you can instantaneously excavate it, move it along the ground, and deposit it up to 5 feet
    away. This movement doesn’t have enough force to cause damage.


  • You cause shapes, colors, or both to appear on the dirt or stone, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes
    last for 1 hour.


  • If the dirt or stone you target is on the ground, you cause it to become difficult terrain. Alternatively, you can cause the ground to
    become normal terrain if it is already difficult terrain. This change
    lasts for 1 hour.



If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two
of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss
such an effect as an action.




What is loose earth?



for example, which of the following would meet this criteria:




  • Top soil of a recently plowed field

  • Digging a 10 ft hole in the middle if said same field

  • Digging a 10 ft hole with a mixture of dirt, gravel, clay

  • Digging a 10 ft hole in a cobblestone road

  • Digging a 10 ft hole in solid stone


as an analogy, would it be accurate to say that this spell would work on anything in minecraft that I can use a wooden shovel on (with the exception of snow)?



see also: Is it possible to create a sink hole with move earth and a portable hole?

    I suggest you add your example off digging foundations of a castle to this question, if you want something answered you need to ask for it.

    So don't ask two questions. Ask the question you actually want answered. I'm not sure what problems you've had in the past but it's likely that you just haven't been clear with what problem you are actually trying to solve. This is called an XY-problem

    @linksassin no, because I do want answers for both questions. As such, the answer to one question leads to another ... and they should be able to stand on there own.

Jeremy Crawford has already provided some insight to this:




Think dirt, not stone.




Basically, if you can use a shovel on it, you can use the cantrip.
