Kelp block in Minecraft

Added in 1.13 Stack size: 64

Kelp is a tall underwater plant that grows in columns from the ocean floor.

It can be composted: each one has a 30% chance to add a layer to a Composter.

What it does

Plant a kelp piece on a block under water; it grows upward toward the surface. Break the column above the base to harvest it and let it regrow. Smelted kelp becomes Dried Kelp, a quick snack, and nine dried kelp make a fuel block.
