Dead Bush

Dead Shrubs are not a solid block, but rather an aesthetic weed that does not obstruct movement, similar to Sugar Cane, Wheat and Tall Grass.

Dead shrubs will only spawn on Sand blocks in desert biomes, and do not produce any resources when broken. They will only spawn in chunks generated after 1.6 is installed.

History

 * Dead shrubs were added to Minecraft in the Beta 1.6 update.
 * Before Beta 1.6 you can only obtain Tall Grass by a mod.

Trivia

 * Dead Shrubs do not produce any useful resource, and this will most likely stay the case.
 * The dead shrub texture is the sapling texture, with its leaves removed.
 * A variant of Tall Grass is visually identical to Dead Shrubs but is able to give seeds. The edited tall grass can only be obtained from inventory editors.
 * Dead shrubs can also be obtained by using a Super Pick (instant breaker) and then breaking the dead shrub block.
