Shrubs placed in an intersection between a taiga, a dark forest and a desert.

Shrubs are variants of grass that do not generate naturally‌^{[Java Edition only]} and are currently only obtainable in Legacy Console Edition via the creative inventory. They have the same characteristics as grass and ferns, but use a texture similar to dead bushes.

Green shrubs were an additional and independent variant of shrubs in Java Edition whose color changed depending on the biome. They were eventually changed to look the same as normal shrubs. Later, both were removed from Java Edition completely.

Obtaining

When broken normally, shrubs have a ¹⁄₈ chance of dropping wheat seeds, due to being a type of grass.^{[more information needed]}They can be obtained as an item using shears.

Appearance

The shrub uses an identical texture to the dead bush.

The only visual difference between the shrub and the dead bush is that the shrub appears shorter, or sunk into the ground by 1 pixel.

History

Java Edition Beta
1.6		Test Build 3			Added shrubs.
					Grass data values from 3 to 15 simply appear as regular grass.
Java Edition
1.5		13w10a			Added green shrubs.
					Prior to this snapshot (from 13w02a to 13w09c) grass with data values beyond 2 would crash the game upon rendering, and prior to 13w02a looked like tall grass instead.
1.8		14w10a			Green shrubs now display as a missing texture cube when placed.
		14w25a			Green colored shrubs (damage value 3 or greater) now look like normal shrubs. The inventory model is now a missing texture cube.
1.13		17w47a			The ID of shrubs has now been merged with the regular dead bush's (dead_bush) to match Bedrock Edition, effectively removing the shrub completely.
Legacy Console Edition
TU1	CU1	1.0	Patch 1	1.0.1	Added shrubs.
TU24	CU12	1.16			Shrubs can now be placed in flower pots.
TU60	CU51	1.64	Patch 30	1.0.11	Shrubs now have a different texture.
		1.90			The texture of shrubs has now been changed.

Trivia

• Shrubs can be seen on the cliff edge at the beginning of the Glide map "Cavern" in Legacy Console Edition.
