FAQ
What does a Grass Block drop when mined?
Without Silk Touch it drops a single Dirt block; with Silk Touch it drops itself as a Grass Block.
What tool should I use?
A shovel breaks it fastest, though any tool or bare hands will work since it has no minimum tier requirement.
How does grass spread?
A Grass Block spreads its grassy texture to adjacent dirt blocks that have enough light above them, given enough time.
Can I get a Grass Block without Silk Touch?
Yes — Endermen occasionally pick up Grass Blocks and drop them intact if killed while holding one.
