FAQ
What tool do I need to mine Hanging Roots?
None. It breaks instantly by hand; shears are the quickest option but any tool works.
Do Hanging Roots require Silk Touch to drop?
No, except on Bedrock Edition where Silk Touch is needed to collect it without shears; on Java Edition it always drops itself.
Can I farm Hanging Roots?
Yes. Bone meal applied to rooted dirt regenerates hanging roots beneath it, making the resource renewable.
Can mobs walk through Hanging Roots?
Yes. The block is non-solid, so entities pass through it like other plant decorations.
