Chorus Plant (block)

Chorus plants are blocks that naturally generate on the outer islands of the End. They can be grown using chorus flowers.

Obtaining
The block form cannot be obtained in Survival mode, even with the Silk Touch enchantment; however, it is available in the Creative mode inventory.

Breaking
Chorus plants can be broken using any tool. Breaking one block of a chorus tree generally causes all chorus plants and flowers above to break due to lack of support. Upon breaking, a chorus plant drops 0–1 chorus fruit.

Natural generation
Chorus plants make up most of the chorus trees that are naturally generated on the outer islands of the End. Chorus trees are typically 10–15 blocks in height, although a single plant can reach up to 22 blocks.

Post-generation
Chorus plants are generated as chorus flowers grow.

Usage
Chorus plants can be broken to obtain chorus fruit.

Support
Chorus plant blocks break automatically (potentially dropping fruit), if the six surrounding blocks are not valid:
 * a chorus plant with at least one other chorus plant horizontally adjacent breaks unless at least one of the vertically adjacent blocks is air
 * a chorus plant breaks unless the block below is chorus plant or end stone or any horizontally adjacent block is a chorus plant above chorus plant or end stone

Trivia

 * Using commands, it is possible to make chorus trees grow to heights not normally possible. This works because commands can reset the time value of chorus flowers, allowing them to grow indefinitely.
 * If the chorus flower from a chorus plant is removed using an axe and the chorus flower is then replaced back onto the chorus plant, the growth cycle is reset and the chorus plant starts growing again. This can be continued all the way up to build height limit.
 * Because breaking one part of the plant breaks all parts above it, cutting a large plant can cause a brief performance drop.
 * The real-life Joshua tree branches and grows in the same way as the chorus fruit.
 * The chorus plant is named due to the sound it makes when it grows.
