Moss Block
Moss Block — block.
Obtaining
An enderman carrying a moss block can drop it when defeated. The block also appears in generated loot, and the local snapshot keeps its ordinary block loot table separate from post-generation spreading.

Breaking
Moss can be broken by hand, but a hoe is the fastest tool. It has very low hardness and uses the moss sound family; its normal block loot returns one moss block when the block survives the explosion check.

Natural generation
Moss blocks generate across the floor of lush caves and in the moss patches used by the local cave generator. They are also used in moss-covered structures such as trial chambers. The block is a natural surface rather than a grass variant, so it remains useful when a builder wants a permanent green cave palette.
Crafting
Shapeless recipes combine one moss block with a stone-family block to make a mossy building variant. The source snapshot includes mossy cobblestone and mossy stone bricks as separate recipes.

| Moss block + stone bricks | Mossy stone bricks (`minecraft:mossy_stone_bricks_from_moss_block`) |
Usage
The block occupies a standard full volume and is shown with an isometric preview.
Bone meal works when the block above the moss is air. It places a moss patch on nearby moss-replaceable ground and can create moss carpet, short grass, tall grass, azalea, and flowering azalea. The snapshot uses a vertical range of five blocks, a one-to-two block horizontal radius, and weighted vegetation choices, so the result is a patch rather than a single deterministic plant. Moss is also a compact ingredient for mossy cobblestone and mossy stone-brick variants.

| Spread volume | Vertical range 5; horizontal radius 1–2 |
| Vegetation weights | Flowering azalea 4, azalea 7, moss carpet 25, short grass 50, tall grass 10 |
