Relates to MC-8231 and MC-213770.

The bug

Many more dirt-like blocks gained the ability to be made into paths in the latest snapshot, however farmland was not one of them, which may be an oversight.

One potential way to fix this could be to have all blocks that can be directly converted to farmland or dirt paths use a block tag, such that eligible blocks could simply be added to this tag.

Steps to Reproduce

• Build the setup as shown in the attachment below. setup.png
• Obtain a shovel and attempt to convert all six different blocks into dirt paths.
• Take note of the blocks that did convert into dirt paths and the blocks that didn't.

Observed Behavior

Farmland cannot be converted into dirt paths with shovels.

Expected Behavior

Farmland would be able to be converted into dirt paths with shovels.
