Kelp is a plantable underwater plant block added to Minecraft in Java Edition 1.13 and Bedrock Edition 1.4.0.

Smelting it in a furnace, smoker, or campfire yields dried kelp. Players can eat dried kelp faster than other foods. 9 dried kelp can be crafted into a dried kelp block which can be used as a source of fuel.

Wandering Traders can trade it exchange for emeralds.

Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks.

It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or flowing water above it.
