Moss Block

A moss block is a natural block that can be spread to some other blocks by using bone meal.

Natural generation
Moss generates on the floor and ceiling within the lush caves biome.

Trading
Moss blocks can be obtained by trading with a wandering trader, who may sell 2 moss blocks for 1 emerald.

Breaking
Moss blocks can be mined using any tool or by hand, but a hoe is the fastest way to break it.

Post–generation
$$, using bone meal on a moss block causes nearby blocks with the,   and   tags to be converted to moss blocks.

Moss spreads to any blocks with air above them in a corner-less 7×11×7 volume centered on the original moss block. Foliage can replace air on any of these blocks.

Behavior
$$, all plants can be placed on moss except for cactus. Nether fungi can also be placed on moss, but mushrooms can only be placed at light level 12 or below. $$, cactus, bamboo, dead bush, and sugar cane are the only plants which can not be placed on moss.

Using bone meal on moss blocks causes certain types of adjacent blocks to be replaced with moss blocks. To allow moss to spread to them, blocks need to have air above.

Additionally, grass, moss carpets, azaleas and flowering azaleas grow on moss blocks in range, if there is air above them.

Piston interactivity
A moss block drops as an item when a piston pushes it.

Composting
Placing a moss block into a composter has a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Block Removal
With the exception of glow berries, using bone meal to spread moss blocks into other blocks can make it easier to mine them because of the reduction of block hardness.
