While trying to build the ruins of Amon Sûl on a server it occured to me that while we have Scorched Stone and Charred Wood in the game, it is very difficult to create that desolate feeling of a burned down ruin without something that resembles scorched earth or dirt.

Of course, nothing should grow on 'scorched earth'. That's the whole point of it :-)

This might also be useful for the "Brown Lands", which currently consist of regular dirt, just that it looks differently in this biome. It could be replaced with scorched dirt in future versions.

Of course, Scorched Earth would be 'crafted' by putting blocks of dirt into any oven.

Maybe it could also generate if a fire happens on top of a regular dirt block...

It's texture could be similar to Podzol, but of course much darker, more dark brownish, almost black...

What do you think?
