Roots

Not to be confused with Nether Sprouts.

Roots are a non-solid block that come in two variants, crimson roots and warped roots, which generate naturally on warped or crimson nylium and soul soil in their respective biomes. They resemble a colony of tall, thin mushrooms.

Breaking
Roots can be mined instantly with any tool. They drop themselves when broken. Flower pots containing roots drop both the flower pot and roots when broken.

Natural generation
Crimson roots generate in the crimson forest biome and rarely in the soul sand valley and warped forest biomes. Warped roots generate in warped forest biomes.

Post-generation
Applying bone meal to nylium causes roots to appear on that nylium block, and on nearby nylium. The generated roots are the same type as the nylium that the bone meal is used on. Using bone meal on warped nylium can also generate crimson roots at a very low chance.

Decoration
Roots are decorative blocks. They can be planted on the same blocks that fungi can be placed on. Roots can be planted in a flower pot, which gives them a different texture.

Compost
Roots can also be used on a composter, with a 65% chance of increasing the level by 1.
