    Hey guys,

    A while back I found a farmland block while raiding an old Legacy town out of boredom. Today I found it in one of my chest, and decided to ask about it in chat. I got a lot of responses saying how rare it is, and even some willing to buy it. So my questions are 'How rare is it/is it the only one?' and 'How in the world did anybody obtain it in the first place?'. I'm not selling it at the moment, but I would like a number on roughly how much it's worth, if that's possible :)
    I'm wondering if this came from an event, or in some old version of Minecraft you were able to obtain it.

    Some screenshots of the block - http://share.pho.to/A6CIR

    Just a block like dirt when you use a hoe on it, I'm sure you could easily make it with silk touch

    As far as I am aware, it is only available through console commands. This leads me to believe it is the result of an outdated bug.

    It might be the only one, but I think I have seen a rarities thread that listed them; however, the thread was multiple years old.
    A bug, most likely. The rarity increases if this bug was fixed at some point, but only if it was a lesser known bug.

    I thought this used to be an old nether star item that could be purchased when nether stars were first introduced. I may be wrong about the nether star purchase, but this quite possibly may be one of only a few existing on ECC. Congratulations on your find. :)

    This is correct. It used to be a nether star purchase.

    To your left you see a quite new nub who has no knowledge of such things in the time before 2014. :p

    Thank you for this information.
