This feature is exclusive to Bedrock Edition and Minecraft Education.
This page describes an education-related feature.
This feature is available only in Minecraft Education or when enabling the "Education" option in Bedrock Edition.
Balloons are entities that float upward when placed.
Obtaining
Balloons are unobtainable.
Crafting
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Balloon | Latex + Matching Dye + Helium + Lead |
|
| White Balloon or Blue Balloon or Brown Balloon or Black Balloon |
Latex + Bone Meal or Lapis Lazuli or Cocoa Beans or Ink Sac + Helium + Lead |
Usage
When used on a mob or a fence, balloons attach to the mob or block, similar to a lead. Balloons float into the air faster than the speed the player flies up, but remain grounded if tied to a fence. If tied to a mob, the balloon floats away and carries the mob high into the air, before both eventually despawn.
| Mob | Mass |
|---|---|
| Chicken | 0.6 |
| Cow | Default |
| Donkey | Default |
| Horse | Default |
| Iron Golem | 2.0 |
| Llama | Default |
| Mule | Default |
| Mooshroom | Default |
| Panda | 1.5 |
| Pig | 0.75 |
| Sheep | 0.75 |
| Snow Golem | Default |
| Fox | 0.6 |
When a balloon is shot by an arrow or a trident, or floats into a solid block, it pops, summons particles, and is destroyed. It drops nothing. A balloon tied to a fence post does not burst when a player strikes it in any direction; instead, it gives way and returns to its usual position.

'''Beetroot seeds''' are items that can be used to plant beetroot crops.
'''Beetroot crops''' are planted in [[farmland]] and used to grow [[beetroot]] and beetroot seeds.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
[[Village]] farm plots have a chance of being beetroots. The exact chance depends on the style of the village:
{| class="wikitable"
! Village style !! Chance
|-
| {{EnvSprite|desert-village}} Desert || 20%
|-
| {{EnvSprite|plains-village}} Plains || 5%
|}
=== Breaking ===
Harvesting fully-grown beetroot yields from 1 to 4 seeds per crop harvested ({{frac|2|5|7}} seeds per crop harvested on average). The [[Fortune]] enchantment can be used to improve the drop rate.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|beetroot-seeds}}
=== Trading ===
Beetroot seeds are sold by [[wandering trader]]s for one [[emerald]].
== Usage ==
=== Farming ===
Beetroot seeds can be placed on [[farmland]]. After being placed, it goes through four stages of growth. When fully grown it can be broken to produce beetroot seeds and beetroots.
<!-- Java Edition only? -->While beetroot crops have only four growth stages compared to eight for [[wheat]], [[carrot]]s, and [[potato]]es, each growth tick has a {{frac|1|3}} chance of not advancing the growth stage and therefore beetroot grows slightly faster than other crops.
Crops grow faster if the farmland they are planted in is [[Farmland#Hydration|hydrated]]. One application of [[bonemeal]] has a 75% chance of advancing growth by one stage. This is less effective than for other crops: an average of {{frac|5|1|3}} are needed to fully grow beetroot compared to {{frac|2|2|7}} for other crops.
=== Breeding ===
Like other [[seeds]], beetroot seeds can be used to [[breed]] [[chicken]]s, lead chickens around, and make baby chickens grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time.
=== Taming ===
Like other seeds, beetroot seeds can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.
=== Composting ===
Placing beetroot seeds into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s may offer to sell beetroot seeds for one emerald.

'''Kelp''' is an underwater plant that generates in most [[ocean]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
Kelp naturally generates in any [[ocean]] [[biome]]s (except in [[Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen]] and [[Warm Ocean|warm]]), near and around [[seagrass]]. Each chunk has {{frac|1|18}} chance to generate a [[vegetation]] of kelp.
=== Breaking ===
Kelp can be mined instantly with any [[tool]] or with the player's fist. Removing water from the kelp block destroys the kelp. Breaking one part of a kelp stalk destroys all kelp [[block]]s above it. Each block drops a kelp [[item (entity)|item]].
=== Trading ===
Kelp can be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 emeralds.
== Usage ==
Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}}. Placing it by hand gives it a random {{code|age}} value between 0 and 24. Kelp can be placed only in [[water]] source blocks or downward-flowing water, not horizontally flowing water.
When placed in downward-flowing water, the flowing water transforms into a water source block,<ref>{{bug|MC-134229}}</ref> which is useful for faster [[bubble column]] elevator creation.
Any building block can be placed on top of a kelp plant, which is useful for building structures over a deep ocean without needing to build from the ocean floor (see also [[lily pad]]).
=== Cooking ingredient ===

}}
=== Composting ===
Placing kelp into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
=== Growth mechanics ===
Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks. It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or, {{in|Java}}, flowing water above it.<ref>{{bug|MC-133354}}</ref> Neither [[player]]s nor [[dispenser]]s can remove the water source block that kelp grows in without breaking the kelp first.
Kelp does not require any [[light]] level to grow. Kelp also grows without having [[sky]] access. [[Bone meal]] can be used to grow kelp by 1 block on each use.
Kelp, when planted, is generated with a randomly chosen age value, which can be checked when pressing [[Debug screen|<kbd>F3</kbd>]]{{only|java}}. The age value of a newly planted kelp plant varies randomly from 0 to 24. Each time the kelp grows in height by one block, the newly generated top of the kelp plant increases its age by 1. When the top block of the kelp plant reaches an age of 25, it stops growing. This means that kelp can naturally grow to a height between 2 (if the first kelp plant had an age of 24) and 26 blocks (if the first kelp plant had an age of 0).
When a kelp plant block is broken, the age of the kelp plant block underneath is randomized to a value from 0 to 24 and the kelp continues growing until it reaches age 25. It is possible to use this mechanic to cultivate a kelp plant to increase its growth height beyond its natural maximum height of 26 blocks. This can be done by breaking the top-most block of the kelp plant each time it reaches age 25. A kelp plant cultivated by a player in this way repeatedly grows until it reaches the water surface.
Each time it receives a [[random tick]], kelp has a 14% chance of growing.
If [[shears]] are used on the topmost block of kelp, that block automatically sets its {{cd|age}} value to {{cd|25}} and stop growing.{{only|JE}}
=== Farming ===
{{Main|Tutorials/Kelp farming}}
Kelp farming is similar to farming [[sugar cane]], although kelp must be placed underwater. Automation of harvest is easier because items float up in water.

== Trivia ==
* In real life, [[wikipedia:kelp|kelp]] is not considered a [[wikipedia:plant|plant]]. It is classified by scientists as a [[wikipedia:Brown algae|brown algae]].
** Kelp in real life absorbs nutrients directly from the water, instead of through its root-like structure, [[wikipedia:Holdfast (biology)|holdfast]], which merely attaches it to the seabed. This is in accordance with kelp being able to grow on almost any solid block in ''Minecraft''.
