FAQ

What is the difference between Kelp and Kelp Plant?

Kelp Plant makes up the lower, still-growing segments of a kelp stalk; Kelp is the identical-looking topmost segment that can still grow taller. Both drop a kelp item when broken.

Do I need a special tool to harvest kelp?

No. Kelp has 0 hardness and breaks instantly with any tool or bare hands.

Can kelp be used as furnace fuel?

Not directly, but smelting kelp into dried kelp and then crafting a dried kelp block yields an efficient furnace fuel.

How tall can a kelp stalk grow?

Naturally between 2 and 26 blocks tall, though players can bonemeal or replant it to reach the water's surface.
