I am currently playing a survival map called SkyBlock and I removed all my grass blocks but now I need to have grass. So am I now screwed or will grass grow on the dirt field?

bad idea removing all the grass blocks – spartacus Oct 4 '11 at 18:25
Awesome survival map! – Warface Oct 7 '11 at 4:31
That is one of the classic ways to lose a game of SkyBlock. – SevenSidedDie Oct 14 '12 at 19:20

Grass only spreads from grass blocks. If your map contains no grass blocks, it never will (unless you place them in creative mode, or otherwise hack them in). Bonemeal will not cause dirt blocks to grow grass, they will only cause tall grass (and flowers) to grow on grass blocks.

You can get a shovel with the "Silk Touch" enchantment and go to the main land!

While this is a possibility, isn't going to the mainland explicitly disallowed in the instructions? – John the Green Apr 3 '12 at 23:43
Flying around in creative, I didn't see a mainland. There was a pretty good radius of void. – Unionhawk Apr 4 '12 at 13:07

Sorry but, you're screwed. This happened to me the first two times and all I could do was editing a grass block into my island so I could continue.
