Tall Grass

Tall grass is the 2-block tall variant of short grass.

Obtaining

As an item, tall grass can only be obtained as chest loot.

Breaking

When broken normally, tall grass has a 12.5% chance of dropping 1 wheat seeds item. This is affected by the Fortune enchantment, dropping 1–3, 1–5, or 1–7 wheat seeds with Fortune I, II, and III respectively. When broken using shears, tall grass drops two units of short grass instead. Placing any block on tall grass breaks the grass and causes it to not drop anything.

Natural generation

Tall grass generates in plains, savannas, cherry groves, meadows, pale gardens, and lush caves. There is approximately 8.6 tall grass per chunk.

Post-generation

Bone meal can be used on short grass to turn it into tall grass. Using bone meal on a grass block, moss block or pale moss block, also has a chance of generating tall grass.

Usage

Most 2-block tall plants, including tall grass, have a disproportionately large hitbox compared to other plants. The only exception to this rule is tall seagrass.

Composting

Placing tall grass into a composter has a 50% chance of raising the compost level by 1.
