'''Tall grass''' is the 2-block tall variant of [[Minecraft:short grass]].

== Obtaining ==
As an item, tall grass can only be obtained as chest loot.

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

When broken using [[Minecraft:shears]], tall grass drops two units of [[Minecraft:short grass]] instead.

Placing any block on tall grass breaks the grass and causes it to not drop anything.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Tall Grass|Shears=1|drop=0}}

=== Natural generation ===
Tall grass generates in [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:savanna]]s, [[Minecraft:cherry grove]]s, [[Minecraft:meadow]]s, [[Minecraft:pale garden]]s, and [[Minecraft:lush caves]]. There is approximately 8.6 tall grass per chunk.

{{block distribution}}

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

=== Post-generation ===
[[Minecraft:Bone meal]] can be used on [[Minecraft:short grass]] to turn it into tall grass. Using bone meal on a [[Minecraft:moss block]] or [[Minecraft:pale moss block]], or a [[Minecraft:grass block]] {{in|java}} and {{inUpcoming|bedrock 26.20}}, also has a chance of generating tall grass.

== Usage ==
Most 2-block tall plants, including tall grass, have a disproportionately large hitbox compared to other plants.<ref>{{bug|MC-33580||The hitbox of double-tall plants is inconsistently big|WAI}}</ref> The only exception to this rule is [[Minecraft:tall seagrass]].<ref>{{bug|MC-163896||Double tall seagrass's hitbox is inconsistent with that of other double tall plants|WAI}}</ref>

=== Composting ===
Placing tall grass into a [[Minecraft:composter]] has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

== Color ==
The coloration of tall grass is dependent on the [[Minecraft:biome]] they are in. A 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.

=== Item ===
{{IN|Java}}, tall 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.
