What is Seagrass in Minecraft?
Seagrass is a common underwater plant that looks like waving blades of green grass. It comes in two varieties, a short one block tall version and a tall two block tall version. Its main purpose is to be a decorative plant that makes the ocean floor look more alive and natural. It is also a key part of the ocean ecosystem, as it is a food source for turtles. Players can use seagrass to decorate their own ponds, aquariums, and underwater builds, or to breed turtles. It is a simple but essential block for creating a vibrant and realistic aquatic environment.
How to get Seagrass in Minecraft
The only way to get seagrass is to find it. It cannot be crafted. Seagrass generates naturally all over the floor of most ocean biomes, except for frozen oceans. You can find it in both shallow and deep water. To collect it, you must use a pair of shears. If you break it with your hand or any other tool, it will just break and you will get nothing. You can also use bone meal on the ocean floor to instantly grow a patch of seagrass, which you can then shear to collect a lot of it quickly.
How to use Seagrass in Minecraft
The main use for seagrass is for decoration and breeding turtles. You can place it on most solid blocks underwater to make your aquatic builds look more natural and lush. It will wave back and forth in the water, which adds a nice bit of movement to the scene. Its most important use is for breeding turtles. If you feed seagrass to two adult turtles, they will enter love mode and one of them will lay turtle eggs. This is the only way to get turtle eggs, which can then be hatched to get baby turtles. Baby turtles will eventually grow up and drop a scute, which is used to craft a turtle shell helmet. Seagrass can also be placed in a composter to help create bone meal.
