Tall Seagrass
minecraft:tall_seagrassTall seagrass is a two-block-tall aquatic plant found across ocean floors, providing decoration and food for turtles. It occupies both a full water block and the block above it, unlike most other tall plants.
Uses
- Turtle Breeding — Turtles eat seagrass to enter breeding mode; tall seagrass growing near beaches keeps them fed and nearby.

Found In
- Non-frozen oceans and rivers — Generates in shallow and deep ocean variants, underwater caves, and swamps.
- Bone meal on seagrass — Applying bone meal to regular seagrass can grow it into tall seagrass if there is a free water block above.

No, it requires two stacked water source blocks and cannot be placed or survive outside of water.
Is Tall Seagrass affected by fire or lava?
No, being submerged it is non-flammable and cannot be ignited.
Why can't I get Tall Seagrass in Creative mode?
It has no direct item form obtainable through the Creative inventory or commands — only regular seagrass can be placed, which then may grow into the tall variant.
