'''Hanging roots''' are a natural decorative block found underground in the [[Minecraft:lush caves]] biome.

== Obtaining ==
[[File:Azalea Tree with Roots.png|thumb|right|upright|The hanging roots generated along with the [[azalea tree]].]]

=== Breaking ===
Hanging roots can be destroyed with any tool or by hand instantly, but can only be collected using [[Minecraft:shears]]. {{IN|be}}, any [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]] tool also works.
{{breaking row|Hanging roots|horizontal=1|None|shears=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
Hanging roots can generate inside a [[Minecraft:lush cave]] beneath an [[Minecraft:azalea tree]] on the surface above.

{{block distribution}}

=== Post-generation ===
Using [[Minecraft:bone meal]] on [[Minecraft:rooted dirt]] causes hanging roots to grow below the block.

Hanging roots may be obtained by using a [[Minecraft:hoe]] on rooted dirt, transforming the rooted dirt into normal [[Minecraft:dirt]] in the process.

== Usage ==
Hanging roots can only be placed on the underside of a block.

=== Composting ===
Placing hanging roots into a [[Minecraft:composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

|{{HistoryLine||1.17|dev=21w19a|<code>minecraft:hanging_roots</code> has been added to the newly-implemented <code>#minecraft:mineable/axe</code> [[Minecraft:block tag]].
