Kelp is a non-solid plant block that generates in all oceans. It has an item form that can be smelted to dried kelp.
Obtaining
Kelp can be mined with any tool or without a tool. Breaking part of a kelp stalk will destroy the entire stalk. Each block has an undetermined chance to drop a kelp item.
Natural generation
Kelp naturally generates in any ocean biomes except warm ocean, near sea grass.
Farming
Kelp, when planted, will grow at an undetermined rate. It will only grow, however, if there is a water block above it.
Usage
Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of commands such as /setblock. Placing it by hand will give it a random age value between 0 and 19.
