A spore blossom is a ceiling-hanging decorative block that emits green particles.
Obtaining[]
Natural generation[]
Spore blossoms can be found only on the ceiling of lush caves.
Breaking[]
Spore blossoms can be broken instantly with any item or by hand. Harvesting a spore blossom with shears consumes the durability of the shears for no additional benefit.
Usage[]
Spore blossoms can be placed only on the underside of any block except leaves.
They emit two kinds of particles: one falling straight downwards, disappearing after a certain distance; the other spreading to a large area, floating around in the air, spreading further away as they slowly fall down.
Spore blossoms can be pollinated by bees.
Composting[]
Spore blossoms can be put into a composter with a 65% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
