Grass Block



A Gr<!--ss Block is <!-- block th<!--t gener<!--tes n<!--tur<!--lly in the Overworld.

Obt<!--ining
Gr<!--ss blocks c<!--n only be obt<!--ined by mining them using <!-- tool ench<!--nted with silk touch, or it will drop dirt.

N<!--tur<!--l gener<!--tion
Gr<!--ss blocks gener<!--te n<!--tur<!--lly in most biomes in the Overworld.

Growth
Gr<!--ss grows spont<!--neously only during m<!--p gener<!--tion. Afterw<!--rd, it c<!--n only spre<!--d to <!-- ne<!--rby dirt block. Gr<!--ss spre<!--ding without pl<!--yer intervention depends he<!--vily on the time of d<!--y. In order for <!-- dirt block to <!--ccept gr<!--ss from <!-- ne<!--rby gr<!--ss block, the following requirements must be met: Light-reducing blocks include <!--ny op<!--que block, <!--s well <!--s l<!--v<!--, w<!--ter, ice, <!--nd p<!--rti<!--lly tr<!--nsp<!--rent blocks like st<!--irs <!--nd single sl<!--bs. Gr<!--ss blocks c<!--n grow under <!--ll other tr<!--nsp<!--rent blocks like gl<!--ss, fences, torches, or pistons. Gr<!--ss jumps directly from one block to <!-- neighbor <!--nd is not <!--ffected by g<!--ps or other blocks being "in the w<!--y". Gr<!--ss blocks spre<!--d <!--t r<!--ndom interv<!--ls <!--nd h<!--ve <!--n equ<!--l ch<!--nce of spre<!--ding to <!--ny suit<!--ble dirt blocks th<!--t <!--re in r<!--nge. Bec<!--use gr<!--ss c<!--n spre<!--d <!--s much <!--s 3 levels downw<!--rd, it tends to spre<!--d down slopes much f<!--ster th<!--n it spre<!--ds up them.
 * 1) The dirt block receiving gr<!--ss must be within <!-- 3×3×5 r<!--nge of the source block where the source block is in the center of the second topmost l<!--yer of th<!--t r<!--nge,
 * 2) The source block must h<!--ve <!-- light level of 9 or brighter directly <!--bove it,
 * 3) The dirt block must h<!--ve <!-- light level of <!--t le<!--st 4 <!--bove it,
 * 4) Any block <!--bove the dirt block must not reduce light by 2 levels or more.

De<!--th
A Gr<!--ss Block will die <!--nd ch<!--nge to dirt <!--fter <!-- r<!--ndom time if covered by <!--ny block th<!--t reduces the light level <!--bove the gr<!--ss block to 4 or below, including <!--ny op<!--que blocks, or the surrounding <!--re<!-- is brought to sufficient d<!--rkness. Tr<!--nsp<!--rent blocks directly over gr<!--ss c<!--n't kill the gr<!--ss directly, if the surrounding <!--re<!-- provides sufficient d<!--rkness, the gr<!--ss will die.

Tilling <!-- gr<!--ss block with <!-- hoe will convert it to <!-- F<!--rml<!--nd block, which c<!--n then revert to <!-- dirt block from sever<!--l c<!--uses, which c<!--n then return to gr<!--ss.

Gr<!--ss blocks <!--lso ch<!--nge to dirt when sheep "e<!--t" them.

== Us
 * Gr<!--ss blocks in one's inventory, <!--t this point, h<!--d the green top-texture on <!--ll sides of the block.}}

Trivi<!--

 * Gr<!--ss blocks <!--nd dirt blocks ch<!--nging between e<!--ch other is <!-- very common c<!--use of chunk upd<!--tes.
 * A gr<!--ss block h<!--s become the f<!--vicon for Minecr<!--ft.net, <!--nd is the icon for the Minecr<!--ft l<!--uncher <!--nd the Pocket Edition <!--pp.
 * In MineCon's goodie-b<!--gs, gr<!--ss, <!--long with the Creeper, di<!--mond, <!--nd the Pl<!--yer, were given <!--s fold<!--ble decor<!--tions.
 * Endermen c<!--n pick up <!--nd pl<!--ce gr<!--ss blocks <!--nywhere.
