A bush is a non-solid plant block found in many grassy biomes. Its color is biome-dependent, and matches the color of grass blocks.
Obtaining
Breaking
Attempting to mine a bush with or without any tool will instantly destroy it, but breaking the bush with shears or any item with Silk Touch is required for the bush to actually drop as an item.

Natural generation
Small patches of bushes naturally generate in birch forests, old growth birch forests, forests, plains, windswept hills, windswept gravelly hills, windswept forests, and on the shores of rivers and frozen rivers.
Post-generation
Using bone meal on a bush attempts to grow another bush on a neighboring block.
Usage
Placement
Bushes mainly serve as atmospheric decoration and can be placed on any of the following blocks:
In Bedrock Edition, bushes can be snowlogged.
Composting
Placing a bush into a composter has a 30 % chance of raising the compost level by 1, yielding an average of 2.74 bone meal per stack.
