Growing Moss
In regards to the speculation of moss growing on Cobblestone, Notch does indeed intend to have moss grow on "rock", however we need confirmation on whether he is referring to Stone or Cobblestone. SteveZombie 01:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Considering we have mossy cobblestone blocks already, I guess it'll just grow on cobblestone.--Quatroking - Garble Garble! 10:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Does this mean that all structures made of cobblestone will be mossed over when that update happens? I'd prefer not to have my castle turn green on me now. -Funkadacious
 * you make castles out of cobblestone? O.o bad aesthetics much? stone castles are the way to go :P --Kizzycocoa 16:38, 26 October 2010 (CDT)
 * The moss will probably only 'spread' from other moss-covered cobble. ConMan8
 * I would assume moss will only grow on blocks that are in or 1-2 blocks from water. – ultradude25 ( T 22:09, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that moss will behave much like grass does; it won't grow unless there is an adjacent block with moss on it, and sunlight is present. -Funkadacious
 * What use would the moss have? Would it be harvested like grass?  Would it be eaten?  (Just kidding, I wouldn't want to eat moss... On Survival test, I'm even hesitant to eat the mushrooms)  Also, if it were to only survive on blocks 1-2 blocks from water, then wouldn't 90% of dungeons loose their moss?  Just my thoughts.  Also, about the cobblestone castle thing, it costs a lot of wood/coal/lava buckets to make that much stone.  99seconds 23:22, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the mossy cobblestone is a way to show how many dungeons you found; it should be kept as a rare block.--BURRITO333 23:32, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Can I remove "Alpha" from this sentence?
"In Alpha and Beta mode, it is currently only found in..."

may i replace this sentence with

"In Beta mode, it is currently only found in..."
 * if you wish to edit it out, I strongly suggest you move/reformat the information into past tense.

Block Resistance
I was looking at various block resistances and noticed that Moss Stone only has a resistance of 1 according to this page. I went to the explosion page (linked from block res.) and it said 30. Ralon 20:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC) Ralon

Removed by Sunlight?
I was walking around and after not too long i found an average size dungeon close to the surface. I removed the dirt above it, killed a bunch of zombies, and destroyed the spawner. Before it was exposed to sunlight (i removed the roof) i noticed a full floor of mossy cobblestone. By the time i got around to collecting the moss stone, there were small patches of normal cobblestone on the ground where moss used to be. In hind sight i should have took screens, but i do have ones of where the normal stone was instead of moss ( i didn't bother to take it) --Deanm 20:49, 9 April 2011 (UTC) ( http://s1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee455/mdean1134/?action=view&current=Screenshot2011-04-09at44339PM.png ) I know it's a little mangled, and the one wall was already gone. i'm using 1.4_01


 * There are almost always patches of normal stone in dungeon floors, and I've never seen (much less heard anyone else claim to see) moss stone turn into normal stone when exposed to sunlight. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 04:12, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
