	“	Dead bushes spawn during world generation in desert, badlands and giant tree taiga biomes. You might find them occasionally in flower pots in desert villages, when the inhabitants have forgotten to water their flowers for a few months (we’ve all been there), and occasionally in chests in desert houses, where perhaps the inhabitants can’t bring themselves to throw away their deceased but beloved plants.	„
		— Duncan Geere

Dead bushes are transparent blocks in the form of an aesthetic plant.

Obtaining

Dead bushes drop 0–2 sticks when broken without shears. When shears are used, a dead bush will drop itself. Also, they do not spread, and cannot be grown using bone meal. If the block below the dead bush is removed, the bush will simply disappear without dropping anything.

Natural generation

Dead bushes will generate on sand, red sand, podzol, dirt, coarse dirt and terracotta in deserts, badlands and giant tree taigas.

Dead bushes can be found inside flower pots inside some desert village houses.‌^{[upcoming: JE 1.14]}

Dead bushes can be found in desert village house chests.‌^{[upcoming: JE 1.14 & BE 1.11.0]}

Usage

Dead bushes can be used for aesthetic decoration, as a source of sticks and a fuel source‌^{[upcoming: JE 1.14]}. They can be placed on any kind of sand, terracotta, dirt or podzol, but not on mycelium or grass blocks. They can also be placed in flower pots.

Smelting

Dead bushes can be used as fuel, smelting one item per dead bush.
