Dead Bush

Dead bushes are transparent blocks in the form of an aesthetic plant.

Natural generation
Dead bushes will generate on sand, red sand, podzol, dirt, coarse dirt and terracotta in deserts, badlands and giant tree taigas. Dead bushes generate twice as commonly in desert biomes as they do in giant tree taigas, and 10 times more often in badlands than they do in deserts (ratio of 1:2:20 – taiga:desert:badlands). Dead bushes can also generate in swamp biomes.

Dead bushes can be found inside flower pots inside some desert village houses.

Obtaining
Dead bushes drop 0–2 sticks when broken without shears. When shears are used, a dead bush will drop itself. Also, they do not spread, and cannot be grown using bone meal. If the block below the dead bush is removed, the bush will simply disappear without dropping anything.

Usage
Dead bushes can be used for aesthetic decoration, as a source of sticks and a fuel source. They can be placed on any kind of sand, terracotta, dirt or podzol, but not on mycelium or grass blocks. They can also be placed in flower pots.

Smelting
Dead bushes can be used as fuel, smelting one item per dead bush.

Trivia

 * In the Legacy Console Edition, the shrub can be obtained in the creative menu.
 * Dead bushes dropping sticks is based on a suggestion by Reddit user pedroff_1.
 * Dead bushes are the only plant-like blocks that are non-renewable.
