Hanging Roots
minecraft:hanging_rootsHanging roots are decorative plant blocks that generate naturally beneath azalea trees in lush caves, dangling from the underside of rooted dirt. They break instantly when struck and can only be collected intact with shears, dropping nothing if mined with any other tool. Players also use them as a minor composter ingredient.
