Description
The dried kelp block is a simple compressed block made from dried kelp that players use to store large amounts of kelp in a small space. It has a dark green textured look that reads like bundled plant material and it is practical for players who collect a lot of kelp while exploring oceans. Dried kelp blocks are useful in survival because they turn a stack of dried kelp items into a single block that takes less inventory and storage space. Builders sometimes use the block for themed farm builds and for sea style decorations where the bundled plant texture fits the visual theme. It is also a fuel source that can be used in some furnaces and it burns for a long time relative to a single item which makes it a useful addition to base logistics. For new players the ability to compress a renewable resource into a compact block is convenient and helps with organising storage systems when you gather a lot from ocean harvesting.
What is Dried Kelp Block?
A dried kelp block is a crafted storage block made from nine dried kelp items. It compresses a stack of dried kelp into a single placeable block that is simple to store and move. The block keeps the plant like appearance of kelp and is mainly used for storage and occasional decoration. It is also useful for fuel which makes it a practical choice when you need a reliable renewable burnable material.
Where to find Dried Kelp Block
Dried kelp blocks do not generate naturally in the world. You create them by crafting in a crafting grid or you can get them by placing dried kelp items into a block forming recipe. You will find dried kelp items by harvesting kelp from ocean biomes and then cooking or drying them as required. Because the block is player crafted it is common in player bases especially those that focus on marine resource gathering.
How to get Dried Kelp Block
To make a dried kelp block gather dried kelp items by harvesting kelp from ocean biomes and processing it into dried kelp if necessary. Then place nine dried kelp items in a three by three crafting grid to form a single dried kelp block. The block can be broken and will drop itself for easy relocation. On creative servers you can also take the block from the building inventory without crafting.
