Seagrass

Seagrass is a non-solid plant block that generates in all oceans, except frozen oceans.

Breaking
Seagrass can be harvested only with shears. Using any other tool, item, or the player's fist destroys seagrass and it drops nothing. When harvested with shears, regular seagrass drops itself as an item, and tall seagrass drops 2 seagrass items.

Natural Generation
Seagrass generates in either its tall or small form in ocean biomes near kelp, and also generates by itself in rivers, underwater caves and swamps, replacing ice and planks as necessary. Seagrass sometimes can naturally generate on gravel.

Mob loot

 * Turtles: A turtle drops 0–2 seagrass when killed. The Looting enchantment increases the maximum number of possible seagrass drops by 1 per level.

Usage
The seagrass item can be placed only on non-transparent blocks. It breaks when non-transparent blocks move into its hitbox.

Like grass, snow layers, and other such blocks, placing blocks inside seagrass deletes the seagrass. However, seagrass prevents coral fan placement.

Tall seagrass has a hitbox considerably more appropriate for its size than other two-block-tall plants such as tall grass. This inconsistency is intended.

Seagrass is completely resistant to lava trying to flow into it, allowing for lava to be floating on top of the water. This feature is intentional.

Breeding
Seagrass can be used to breed turtles.

Bone meal
Applying bone meal to a regular seagrass transforms it to tall seagrass if there is enough space. The bone meal is wasted if insufficient space exists.

Composting
Placing seagrass into a composter has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

Growing
Using seagrass on a baby turtle accelerates its growing time. When the turtle becomes an adult, it drops one scute.
