Tall Dry Grass
minecraft:tall_dry_grassTall dry grass is the two-block-tall variant of dry grass, standing a single block high unlike most other tall foliage. It generates thickly across deserts and badlands, giving those biomes a scrubby, sunbaked look.
Uses
- Furnace Fuel — Burns for 5 game ticks, enough to smelt half an item — a minor fuel source when clearing large patches.
- Composting — Has a 30% chance to raise a composter's level, an easy way to farm bone meal while clearing desert terrain.
Found In
- Deserts and badlands — Generates frequently on sand and terracotta blocks in every badlands variant and desert.
- Bred with sheep — Sheared sheep and lambs eat it to regrow wool, with lambs grazing on it far more often.

FAQ
What tool do I need to break Tall Dry Grass?
Any tool works instantly, but only shears (or Silk Touch) yield the block itself — breaking it any other way drops nothing.
Can I plant Tall Dry Grass myself?
Yes, place it on sand, dirt variants, terracotta, or other soil blocks after harvesting it with shears.
Does Tall Dry Grass burn?
Yes, it is flammable and will catch fire from adjacent lava or spreading flames, quickly clearing large patches.
Is Tall Dry Grass useful for farming?
Only indirectly — it composts into bone meal and serves as sheep food, but it has no seed drops like tall grass does.
