Description

Hanging roots are delicate plant like blocks that hang from ceilings in caves and lush underground areas. They have a thin stringy appearance and add an overgrown wild look to cave ceilings which makes underground spaces feel older and more natural. Builders use hanging roots to add charm to cave bases and to create natural lookout points and overhangs in fantasy builds. The block is light and decorative and it helps to soften the harsh stone surfaces found underground. Because hanging roots are subtle they are ideal for dressing passages and entrances where a single detail can make the environment feel lived in and green.

What is Hanging Roots?

Hanging roots are small decorative plant blocks that dangle from ceilings and ledges in caves. They are used to create natural overgrowth and to add a botanical touch to underground areas and to interior themed builds.

Where to find Hanging Roots

You will find hanging roots in lush cave biomes and in cave systems that support plant life. They attach to stone and soil surfaces above walkways and pools and are often seen alongside moss and dripstone in rich underground environments.

How to get Hanging Roots

Break hanging roots with any tool or by hand to collect them as items. They drop themselves when broken and can then be placed on ceilings or walls in your builds. In creative mode take hanging roots from the inventory for instant placement.
