Minecraft:Short Grass

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

Obtaining

Breaking

When broken normally, short grass has a 12.5% chance of dropping 1 unit of wheat seeds when destroyed. This is affected by the 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. 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.

Short grass generates in the form of random patches, on grass blocks in most biomes with grassy soil, like plains or forests.

Post-generation

Bone meal can be used on a grass block or moss block to grow short grass.

Usage

Placement

Grazing

When a sheep eats short grass, the block is destroyed, and a sheared 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

Bone meal can be used on short grass to create 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 Template:Editions, biome colors also appear on maps.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>

Item

in Template:Editions, grass items use biome color with temperature 0.5, downfall 1.0, and as a result is colored Template:Color. in Template:Editions, this color is coded in the item's texture.

Biome colors

These values are generated by the biome dyeing algorithm. See biome colors for more information.

History

Trivia

• Short grass cannot be directly set on Minecraft:fire from 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>Template:Bug
    Template:Bug</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, Prelude Of The Chambered.
