FAQ
What is the difference between shearing and punching Tall Grass?
Shears (or Silk Touch) drop 2 short grass and never seeds; breaking it any other way may drop a single wheat seed instead.
Does Fortune affect Tall Grass drops?
Yes, Fortune increases the chance and count of wheat seeds dropped when breaking it without shears.
Can I get Tall Grass itself as an item?
Not directly — shearing it yields short grass, not tall grass. Tall grass items only appear in certain savanna village house chests.
Is Tall Grass flammable?
Yes, it burns and spreads fire quickly, so avoid placing torches or lava nearby if you want to keep a field intact.
