Lily Pad

The Lily Pad is a collectable block found growing on water in swamplands.

Obtaining
Lily pads can be mined with any tool, or without a tool.

Natural generation
Lily pads can be found naturally on water in swampland biomes. It is also possible for lily pads to generate on the surface of underground lakes.

Fishing
Lily pads can be obtained as a "treasure" item while fishing.

Usage
Lily pads can be used to make paths over water without having to build bridges or use full blocks. Lily pads are destroyed when water flows on it.

Placement
Lily pads can only be placed on top of water. Lily pads occupy the block above water and are not part of the water block itself.

Lily pads face a consistent direction which depends on their location and is not affected by the direction the player is facing. Replacing a lily pad will not change the direction.

Trivia

 * Mobs cannot spawn on lily pads.
 * Lily pads are destroyed when the water beneath freezes.
 * When lily pads are placed on water source blocks that do not take up the space of the entire block (when the water is flowing to the block next to it), the lily pad will appear floating above the water source block.
 * In the Console Edition, if a swamp is next to a taiga at the edge of the world, lily pads in the swamp may spread to the taiga ocean, which could be frozen, causing it to generate on ice.
 * Lily pads are the shortest solid block in Minecraft, being a measly 0.016 blocks tall.
 * If you sprint on lily pads, they will give off water particles.
