Grass is a naturally-generated block that replaces dirt over time when another grass block is nearby. It makes up the terrain surface of most biomes.
Variants of grass include Retro Grass and Scorched Grass,
Obtaining
Natural generation
Grass blocks generate above the dirt layer in most biomes when the world is generated.
Post generation
When given sufficient light, grass will spread to dirt blocks within a 1 block radius above or around them, and up to 3 blocks below them.
Breaking
Grass blocks can only be collected by using golden tools. When mined using anything else, the block will drop dirt.
Usage
Interactions
If right clicked while holding a shovel, the grass block will become a dirt path.
If right clicked while holding a hoe, the grass block will become farmland.
Passive behaviors
If there is a block on top of a grass block, the grass block will become dirt after a period of time.
If a snow block or snow layer is above a grass block, the grass texture will change to white.
If no block is above a grass block, roses, dandelions, ferns, and tall grass will occasionally grow. These plants will grow all year round, but will start to die out in winter.
If there is enough light, grass will spread to dirt blocks around it.
Sheep will occasionally eat grass to regrow their wool.
Note block
Grass can be placed under a note block to produce the "harp/piano" sound. Note that this is the default sound a note block produces.
