Vine at a glance

Breaking with shears and natural world generation give you Vine, a block filed under Utility Blocks. Stack Vine 64 high: 576 across a hotbar, 1728 in a shulker box, and 3456 in a double chest.

Vine additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Mossy Stone Bricks. It has a hardness of 0.2. The game files it under an axe, without a minimum tier attached to Vine. A creeper does to Vine what a tool does, because both work against 0.2. It sits between Turtle Egg and Warped Fungus in Utility Blocks, number 321 of 340 there.

Vines grow down walls in jungles and swamps, spread on their own, and can be climbed like a ladder. Shears collect them, and because they keep growing downward they are the cheapest way to age a stone build without touching a single other block.
