Overview
Grass Block is a block in the Utility Blocks category of Minecraft, obtained through breaking with a Silk Touch tool and natural world generation. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Grass Block.

Drops dirt unless mined with Silk Touch. Bone meal on it grows grass and flowers; tilling turns it into farmland.
