A spore blossom is a decorative block.
Obtaining
Spore blossoms can be found in the Lush Caves biome. Unlike the other Lush blocks included in Part I of Caves & Cliffs, there is no way to obtain spore blossoms outside their biome, which does not generate in normal worlds. As a result, they are, at this moment, only obtainable in Creative.
In Java Edition, Lush Caves can generate using the buffet or custom world type.
In Bedrock Edition, Lush Caves generate randomly when enabling experiments toggle in development versions.
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.
Behavior
Spore blossoms can be placed only on the underside of any block except leaves. They emit green particles downward, which spread after a while and gather around the spore blossom in a small radius, flying through the air.
