Vines block in Minecraft
Vines are the climbing plants that hang from jungle trees, swamp oaks and cave walls. They spread on their own along walls and downward, and you can climb them like a ladder.
It is mined with an axe. It can be composted: each one has a 50% chance to add a layer to a Composter.
What it does
Vines need a solid block behind them, but they grow over time, sideways onto nearby walls and down into empty space below. Any vine you can touch works as a ladder, which makes them a quick natural way up a jungle tree.
Breaking vines by hand or with a tool gives nothing: only Shears collect them. Collected vines turn cobblestone and stone bricks into their mossy versions, and with paper they make a banner pattern with an indented border.
Vines catch fire easily and burn away. They count as replaceable, so you can place a block straight into their space, and they also go into a composter. The wandering trader sells them if there is no jungle nearby.

Vines · FAQ
How do you get Vines in Minecraft?
Broken with Shears, the block drops itself; otherwise it drops nothing. Sold by Wandering Trader.
What is Vines used for in Minecraft?
They are climbable, spread on walls and make mossy cobblestone, mossy stone bricks and a banner pattern. It is an ingredient in 3 recipes, made at the Crafting Table; for example Bordure Indented Banner Pattern, Mossy Cobblestone and Mossy Stone Bricks.
What tool do you need to mine Vines?
The fastest tool is the axe.
Can you compost Vines?
Yes. Each Vines put in a Composter has a 50% chance to add a layer (the first layer in an empty Composter always works). After 7 layers the Composter gives Bone Meal.
Can a piston move Vines?
No: when a piston pushes it, it breaks and drops as an item.
Does Vines burn?
Yes: fire can spread to it and destroy it, and lava nearby can set it alight.
