Usage
Appearance
grass_carried highly resembles the actual grass block. However, there are two key differences between it and normal grass blocks:
- The top texture is a noticeably different color, and in fact matches the side texture much more than normal grass blocks.
- This is due to this block using a pre-tinted texture, whereas the normal grass block uses a grayscale texture with a constant tint.
- While grass blocks use the dirt texture on the bottom, grass_carried uses the side texture on the bottom:

Functional differences from grass blocks
Despite very closely resembling the grass block visually, grass_carried has notable functional differences from normal grass blocks:
- It can be broken instantly.[2]
- It does not drop anything when broken.[2]
- It cannot be turned into farmland.[1]
- Blocks which require a dirt-like block below them to exist, such as flowers and sugar cane, cannot be placed on it.[1]
- Placing an opaque block on top on it does not gradually convert it to dirt.
