'''Short grass''' is a non-solid plant [[Minecraft:block]] that may drop [[Minecraft:wheat seeds]] when broken. Its color is [[Minecraft:biome]]-dependent, and matches the color of [[Minecraft:grass block]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
When [[Minecraft:Breaking|broken]] normally, short grass has a 12.5% chance of dropping 1 unit of [[Minecraft:wheat seeds]] when destroyed. This is affected by the [[Minecraft:Fortune]] enchantment, dropping 1-3, 1-5, or 1-7 wheat seeds respectively with Fortune I, II, and III.

Short grass can be obtained as an item by destroying it with [[Minecraft:shears]]. [[Minecraft:Tall grass]] also drops two units of short grass when broken using shears.

Placing any block on short grass breaks the grass, and it does not drop anything.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Short Grass|Shears=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
[[File:Tall Grass Height.jpg|thumb|Height variation of short grass {{in|be}}]]
Short grass generates in the form of [[Minecraft:random patch]]es, on [[Minecraft:grass block]]s in most biomes with grassy soil, like [[Minecraft:plains]] or [[Minecraft:forest]]s.

[[File:Grass farm at a woodland mansion.png|thumb|264px|Short grass in a woodland mansion.]]
Short grass may generate on top of [[Minecraft:farmland]] in the "wheat farm" room of [[Minecraft:woodland mansion]]s in place of [[Minecraft:wheat crops]].

{{Block distribution}}

=== Generated loot ===
{{LootChestItem|short-grass}}

=== Post-generation ===
[[Minecraft:Bone meal]] can be used on a grass block or [[Minecraft:moss block]] to grow short grass.

== Usage ==
=== Placement ===
Short grass can be placed on [[Minecraft:grass block]]s, [[Minecraft:podzol]], [[Minecraft:mycelium]], [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:coarse dirt]], [[Minecraft:rooted dirt]], [[Minecraft:mud]], [[Minecraft:muddy mangrove roots]], [[Minecraft:moss block]]s, [[Minecraft:pale moss block]]s and [[Minecraft:farmland]].
[[File:Short grass placeable on.png|thumb|All the blocks that short grass can be placed on.]]

=== Grazing ===
When a [[Minecraft:sheep]] eats short grass, the block is destroyed, and a [[Minecraft:shear]]ed sheep regrows its [[Minecraft:wool]]. Baby sheep graze grass much more often than adults and mature 1 minute faster when grazing.

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

=== Bone meal ===
[[Minecraft:Bone meal]] can be used on short grass to create [[Minecraft:tall grass]].

== Color ==
The coloration of grass plants is dependent on the [[Minecraft:biome]] they are in. A short grass block always uses the color set to its location, regardless of how it was placed or of its source. This affects the side and top of the block.

{{IN|BE}}, biome colors also appear on [[Minecraft:Map|maps]].<ref>{{Cite bug|MC|130658|Grass/foliage colors on maps still use the colors from Alpha v1.1.2_01 and earlier / do not change color with biomes|June 2, 2018}}</ref>

=== Item ===
{{IN|Java}}, grass items use biome color with temperature 0.5, downfall 1.0, and as a result is colored {{color|#7cbd6b}}. {{IN|BE}}, this color is coded in the item's texture.

=== Biome colors ===
These values are generated by the biome dyeing algorithm. See [[Minecraft:biome colors]] for more information.

== Issues ==
{{issue list|Short Grass|Grass}}

== Trivia ==
*Short grass cannot be directly set on [[Minecraft:fire]] from [[Minecraft:lightning]]. However, fire from nearby blocks can spread to it. The top of short grass can be lit but it does not burn this way.
*Short grass is slightly offset from the block it is sitting on (as seen in the second screenshot). This causes fields of short grass to appear more contiguous.
** This offset is solely determined by x and z [[Minecraft:coordinates]], regardless of [[Minecraft:dimension]] or [[Minecraft:world seed]]. Based on this feature, it is possible to calculate the coordinates where a screenshot is taken, if the screenshot includes enough short grass.
**This can sometimes cause short grass to clip horizontally or vertically through block corners.<ref>{{bug|MC-63199||Grass shows through block|WAI}}<br>{{bug|MC-19005||tall grass texture goes through blocks|WF}}</ref>
*Short grass can appear in caves on dirt, even if there's no light source nearby.
*Using bone meal on a grass block in a spawn-protected area on a [[Minecraft:server]] still produces grass and flowers.
*The original texture for short grass was based on the grass texture from an early version of one of Notch's games, [https://s3.amazonaws.com/ld48/index.html Prelude Of The Chambered].
