Overview
Fern is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through breaking with shears, natural world generation, and bone meal on grass blocks in applicable biomes. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Fern.
A single tap removes Fern; the game gives it a hardness of 0. Generated chests only ever hold Fern in one place: taiga village houses (about 19%).
